My eyes sharply glide back and forth across the hallway searching for enemies as I leave the bathroom and continue my search of the surrounding area. My head darts back and forth as I hear the noises of the old building creaking, and it may be my imagination but I think I hear other noises mixed in with the normal creaks and groans of the school. I peek my head into the edge of the nearest doorway and barely contain a gasp of suprise at what I see inside. One of them. Sleeping in the Floor with a badly made short bow laying by it's side was a goblin covered in blood and chunks of gore with a horrendous stench radiating off of it.
I slowly creep towards it as my heart beats faster and faster, as I reach the creature and bring up one of my daggers to strike it where it sleeps, I release the air that I have been holding in my lungs, and I must have made a noise because the instant I started to bring my dagger down it's eyes flashed open and it lashed it's foot out towards me while reaching for an arrow from the quiver laying beside it.
-2 Hp.
"Ahh" I shout as I fall to the ground my daggers flying from my hands. Taking advantadge of my fall the goblin lunges towards me thrusting the arrow towards my head. Reaching out I grab the arrow before it can reach me and knee the goblin in the balls causing him to release the arrow. While he is still distracted by the pain I drive the arrow into his throat and leap back from the goblin. Taking a moment to get a breath, I recollect my daggers from where I dropped them and slit the creatures throat watching the life go out of it's eyes.
Ding!
After taking a moment to collect my breath, and read my alerts I search the ground with my eyes to checking for my spoils of war.
"Another health potion and a stamina potion!" I say as a grin comes to my face. "Ok Daemon get your head in the game you need to search the rest of the room quick before more of them come." I say to myself under my breath.
"Ok that should be enough provision looting for now" I say as I get ready to leave the classroom.
"Eye of the Beholder Corpse Robbing." I say.
"Damnit. Well I guess not every use can be a success."I say as I collect the corpse into my inventory and head for the door to continue searching. As I move to the next room, the botany lab, I hear a scream coming from inside... A human scream. Setting an arrow to the string of my shortbow I rush inside only to see a girl backed up against the wall surrounded by a group of 4 goblins all of which have already stripped off their loinclothes and are approaching the poor girl with maliscious intent. Crouching down I launch an arrow with as much power as I can muster before they have the chance to notice me.
Ding!
Critical Hit!
You have killed a level 2 ,
Not taking the time to read the message that popped up at the corner of my vision, I pulled the bowstring back once again releasing another arrow towards the unsuspecting goblins before the bow broke apart in my hands sending pieces of shrapnel into my arms. "Gaah" I shout out in pain.
-4Hp.
Finally realising the danger they were in, the two remaining uninjured goblins turned around away from the girl and started to charge towards me the first one to arrive thrust it's spear towards me as it ran. Using my greater heighth to my advantage I leaped up on top of the spear and thrust my "Bloodstained Iron Dagger" into his throat leaving him fatally injured and dying on the ground. I jar my ankle as I hit the ground rolling.

-2Hp.
"Arghh" I cry out oncemore as I jar my ankle, pulling out the partially full healing potion and down it in one go.
+4Hp.
I turn to see the final uninjured goblin swinging his hammer at me with his full force put into the swing.I roll forwards trying to avoid the hammer strike but am instead hit in the shoulder by his hammer.
-12Hp.
I grit my teeth as I ignore the pain before tackling him into the ground and repeatedly stabbing him in the side and the chest. Rolling off the goblin I down my final health potion, only to see when I turn torwards the girl that the second goblin I had shot is holding her hostage a dagger to her throat, "ROOAR" I shouted not able to think of anything else.
The goblin swung it's dagger but in it's confused state all it did was cut off two of it's own fingers! "Run" I shout at the girl who's frozen in shock, snapping out of her daze she jumped away from the goblin and towards me. Switching my spare dagger from the left hand to the right I hurl it into the Goblins throat, just before catching the girl who lept into my arms sobbing.
"Shh shh" I murmur into the girls ear "everything's gonna be alright." I say. Finally taking a good look at the girl I realized what those goblins were thinking, the girl is breath-takingly gorgeus, with smooth raven black hair, electric blue eyes, pale milky white skin, and a slightly petite yet full frame she is easily the most beautiful human being I've seen in my life. "It's gonna be ok" I murmur again into her ears as she sniffles into my chest. "It's gonna be ok."
Finally noticing the last several messages in the corner of my vision I decide to examine them closer.
"Eye of the Beholder, Corpse Robber" I say hoping for the best.
"wh...wh...who are you tuh talking to"Asks the raven haired beauty, "Huh. Oh me? I was using a skill." "wh whats a skill?" "What! you don't know what a skill is?"I ask in disbelief. She shakes her head. "Here I say handing her the "Mist of Shadows Skill book" concentrate on staring at this, she looks puzzled but does it any way. A look of shock crosses her face but then turns to disbelief, "ih ih is this real?" she asks confused, I nod my head "Learn it" she looks at the skill book then back at me, then back at the skill book then in a flash of light the book disappears. "Did you learn it"I ask Her "Unh" she nods. "What's your name?" I ask her "Gruh Grace" she replies, "Ok Grace I'm Daemon nice to meet you."Let's go take a rest right after I store this stuff I say. "Inventory." I say quietly
