Rhis: The Alternative Story 2 Goblins, It's Always Goblins

"AAAHHH" Shiro yelled as he fell to the ground hitting his head

"s.h.i.t, that hurts. Where the h.e.l.l am I?" he asked to n.o.body in particular

[Host is currently located next to MT. Burkal] rang out a robotic voice shocking the shinigami dressed human

"Jesus you scared me! So you're my AI?" he asked trying to calm down his nerves

[Correct, System is capable of knowledge and translation function] rang out the voice of the system again

"I didn't think you would get a function considering I didn't exactly ask for anything except a guide" the child commented impressed

[A function was required for System to be bound to Host.] it stated a matter-of-factly to it's host

"Well, can you give me the general knowledge of the world?" he asked sitting down next to a tree to get ready for the info dump

[This world is called Rhis. Each person on this planet is capable of leveling through their 'Status Origins', which is basically just a stats page for a game. The most important levels are from 1-100. every 20 levels a person will be presented with cla.s.s ascensions depending on the individual. After an ascension, the individual will be given a pa.s.sive and an active ability depending on the cla.s.s that the individual received.

Rhis is inhabited by multiple races from fantasy such as dragons, elves, demons etc.

There are 6 continents comprised of empires and kingdoms of their own.

Multiple G.o.ds are worshiped that can provide blessings to Heroes and adventurers.

System suggests Host to check his status] it suggested after the small info dump

"uh, do I just say 'Status'?" the shinigami asked as a blue screen popped up infront of him.

"System... why is my luck so low?" Shiro asked staring at his abysmal 7 luck

[Like your counterpart, Host's luck is also equivalent to E+ Luck] the system stated in monotone

"My Int and Res seem high though. Can you run by what the stats do?" the shinigami asked hoping for clarification in case he's wrong about something

[Strength affects physical prowess. Agility affects speed. Endurance is host's durability. Intelligence indicate host's ability with the arcanes. Luck is very general. Resistance is durability against magic attacks] the voice informed

"It's too bad I don't actually know any spells to make use of that int" Shiro lamented

[Host's status is actually quite high for a level 1. Normally an average level 1 adult would have 6-10 on each stat] the system commented bringing his Host's spirit up

"I guess Ray didn't mess around when he made this body" Shiro smiled as he got up when he heard a branch crunch.

The 14 yr old's nerves were on edge as he gripped his katana. The moment he saw a green figure appear behind the tree, Shiro snapped and stabbed the figure in a frantic charge.

[DING.... 30 exp gained] [LEVEL UP]

Opening his eyes to look down at the figure he stabbed. It was a short humanoid with green skin, a goblin.

"I may have overreacted, but in my defense that was my first kill. Also I leveled up from one kill?" Shiro asked surprised that a single kill was all it took to level him up once.

[The requirement for experience will increase the higher the level. System suggests absorbing the club for your weapon] the system suggested as it clarified to it's host

Looking down, there was a worn out club. It had dry patches of blood and splinters sticking out of it. The shinigami touched the club with the tip of his blade as the club turned into white motes of light.

[DING.... 1 experience gained]

"Huh, neat. But kind of disappointing considering it only gave 1 point" the shinigami sighed

[Host's weapon will grow more powerful the higher level it is. Once Hyorinmaru reaches level 30, the 'Shikai' will be unlocked. Reaching level 100 will unlock 'Bankai' and then the weapon will grow with host's level until it fully matures. Please try appraising your weapon by focusing on it] the disembodied voice instructed

Staring at the weapon, the shinigami grew impatient after about 10 seconds until another box opened up in front of him.

Hyorinmaru

Rank: G.o.d / Level: 0 (1/20)exp

Type: Soul-bound Growth weapon / Durability: Unbreakable

Attack: 50 / STR: +10 / AGI: +10

Shikai: Locked / Bankai: Locked

[System would also like to clarify that Host is able to will your weapon and shinigami garb back into your soul] it said as Shiro made his sword pop back in and out of existence

"Sweet, but why my clothes to-" He didn't get to finish as a sharp pain a.s.saulted his left.

"f.u.c.k" Shiro screeched out as he found an arrow lodged into his shoulder.

"ARRRGH" the shinigami grunted loudly as he pulled out the arrow to allow his wound to close itself

[Poison cleansed from 'True Regeneration'. System suggests retreating] it said as Shiro didn't have time to comment on the regen cleansing poison.

"Why would I retreat when it's just a gob...lin..." he finished weakly as he saw around 40 goblins pop out of the trees.

"Okay, running it is then." Shiro blankly said as he bolted it towards the opposite direction

∞

Ducking beneath branches and jumping over small boulders. Shiro continued to run as he dodged the projectiles consisting of arrows and slinging rocks from his pursuers.

Keeping his eyes forward he nearly tripped when he saw something incredibly stupid to him.

"Why the h.e.l.l are goblins riding on cats?" he asked as he saw goblins armed with what look to be staffs. The cats they were mounted on looked like a mix between a cat and an anorexic lion.

The shinigami immediately turned right the moment he saw the tips of the staffs begin to light up in flames.

"OF-COURSE THEY CAN USE MAGIC! BECAUSE WHY NOT!?" He yelled out his complaints as he had to worry about more projectiles.

Shiro hissed in pain as a fireball hit him on the back. He could feel the burns healing up due to his regeneration but it still hurt like h.e.l.l. Moving out towards a clearing, the turquoise-eyed shinigami saw a much larger figure compared to the others.

[It's a hobgoblin] He would have thought it was an ogre if the system didn't inform him.

Bringing out his zanpakuto, the 14 yr old charged at the hobgoblin as it intercepted him. The two clashed as the hobgoblin slammed down a large cleaver at the shinigami, forcing him back. Shiro charged again for a second round but the hobgoblin didn't use the cleaver to meet his blade this time. Instead the large goblin used his full body-weight as it tackled the shinigami's blade with his shoulder. The goblin took a gash on his shoulder, but managed to knock Shiro back flying as he lost grip of his zanpakuto.

The moment Shiro landed on the ground, a large cage dropped ontop of him. Before he realized it he was trapped inside a cage carried by 4 goblins. His zanpakuto was grabbed by another goblin when he lost grip of it.

[Host could recall his zanpakuto to cut the cage open] the system suggested

'I would but... I don't think this would be the time to do that' he thought as he looked around at about a hundred goblins surrounding him

It would probably be better to wait it out
