Friday — The Goblin Dungeon
The next day was Friday.
Caelan was sent to a dungeon by the Hunter Government.
He looked at the mission information.
The government would pay him $5,000 USD to kill as many Goblins as possible.
Caelan thought about the mission.
“I’m doing this because they will pay me $5,000.”
He knew that the mission could become dangerous.
There was another important rule.
“If there are too many monsters, I can escape.”
Caelan remembered what he had learned.
“If there are too many monsters, run.”
He entered the dungeon.
Caelan walked through the dark dungeon.
After walking for a while, he saw 10 Goblins.
Caelan drew his sword.
“Here we go.”
The Goblins noticed him and charged.
Caelan moved quickly.
He used his swordsmanship.
Slash!
He attacked one of the Goblins.
Another Goblin tried to attack him.
Caelan dodged.
He moved around the Goblins using his footwork.
He attacked again.
Slash!
Caelan continued dodging and attacking.
He didn't stand still.
He moved around the dungeon while using his swordsmanship.
The battle continued.
After about 20 minutes, Caelan defeated all 10 Goblins.
Caelan stood there and took a deep breath.
“I’m doing good.”
He looked at his sword.
“I don't want to depend on my 8 Ninjas and 8 Skeletons.”
Caelan knew his summons were powerful.
But he wanted to become stronger himself.
“I need to learn how to fight on my own.”
Caelan continued walking through the dungeon.
Then he heard fighting nearby.
Caelan stopped.
He looked ahead.
He saw two female Hunters fighting.
There were many Goblins surrounding them.
The two female Hunters were fighting together.
They attacked the Goblins one after another.
Slash!
Slash!
The two Hunters were killing a large number of Goblins.
Caelan watched them carefully.
“They're pretty strong.”
He remained at a distance and continued watching the two female Hunters fight.
The two female Hunters continued fighting.
Eventually, they finished killing the waves of Goblins.
The two women noticed Caelan.
They looked toward him.
Caelan thought to himself.
They are strong.
Maybe they are friendlier than the other Hunters I've met.
One of the female Hunters smiled.
“Hi, new Hunter.”
Caelan looked at them.
“Yes. I am a new Hunter.”
The two female Hunters looked at him.
“We remember when we started.”
The other female Hunter nodded.
“It was hard.”
Caelan looked at both of them.
“You are both strong.”
The female Hunters smiled.
“Not really.”
“We want to become stronger.”
Caelan nodded.
The two female Hunters continued moving through the dungeon.
They were hunting Goblins somewhere farther away.
Caelan decided to continue his own mission.
He walked through the dungeon.
Eventually, he found another group of Goblins.
There were 15 Goblins.
Caelan drew his sword.
He fought the Goblins by himself.
He used his swordsmanship.
He dodged their attacks.
He moved around using his footwork.
Slash!
Slash!
The battle continued.
It took Caelan about 30 minutes to defeat all 15 Goblins.
Caelan took a deep breath.
“I’m getting better.”
A few minutes passed.
Then Caelan heard something.
A massive number of Goblins appeared in the distance.
There were approximately 15,000 Goblins.
Caelan's eyes widened.
“What...?”
The two female Hunters saw the huge wave of Goblins.
They immediately started running.
They rushed toward Caelan.
“Run!”
Before Caelan could react, both female Hunters grabbed him.
Caelan looked at them.
“This is my first time being grabbed by cute female Hunters.”
The two women looked at him.
“Don't flatter us.”
They continued running.
Caelan was carried along as they escaped.
They ran for several minutes.
Eventually, they reached the exit of the dungeon.
The three Hunters escaped.
Caelan looked back at the dungeon.
Then he looked at the two female Hunters.
“Thanks for saving me.”
The two female Hunters smiled.
“You're welcome.”
“We will not let you get injured.”
The two women said goodbye and left.
Caelan watched them walk away.
He thought about the two female Hunters.
Maybe I can join them.
He smiled slightly.
Then another thought entered his mind.
I wonder if they have boyfriends.
Friday — Caelan's Home
Caelan eventually returned home.
He walked into his room and sat down.
He thought about everything that had happened in the dungeon.
The two female Hunters had saved him.
Caelan smiled.
“Maybe I can join them.”
He wondered about the two women.
“I wonder if they have boyfriends.”
Caelan leaned back.
It had been another dangerous day as a Hunter.
