"K-Kgh...."
[You Received 500 Experience Points]
After ending the well-deserved misery of the goblin I could finally relax and take a better look at my surroundings.
Seeing all the corpses lying down on the floor I had some mixed feelings. But I could only sigh out loudly in the end.
"Sigh...I still have to clean in the end don´t I..." Even though I won the fight, the end result felt more like a defeat...
Shaking my head for such stupid thoughts I opened up the status interfaces and pondered what my next move shall be.

"Not bad at all! Instead of finding gold, I found the whole damn vein!" The amount of XP that I even gained this time was truly enormous!
Not only was I able to finally gain enough XP to get the wind blade, but I even gained enough XP to increase my level a few times!
The XP gain of killing just a bunch of goblins can´t even be compared to the training Xp that I gain! Just killing one goblin brings the same value as painstakingly train for a whole damn hour. Even though I can´t really feel any pain or get exhausted by such training, you miss the point!
"I somehow lost motivation to train after thinking that 1 hour is a single level 2 goblin..." Even though I said that I had no plans on stopping my training.
Even though repeating the same training was getting boring at times, it wasn´t like I had something better to do other than look at the flat walls around me.
And the training does help me get more familiar with my skills.
Not to even mention that I recently started to speak with myself even more than before...
...
"Right, I should properly use the remaining XP..." I cleared my head with such thoughts and raised my hand to press at the level-up interface.

"Just a little more and I will be able to reach level 10. I wonder if I get my Sub-class by doing that."
Putting my two remaining attribute points in my intelligence I quickly turned around and headed towards the wooden tables.
[Intelligence increased by 2]
Looking at the table the first thing to watch my eyes were the bones and the crystals, as they looked the most interesting.
[Worn out Bone]: Former bones of an undead being. Since the bones already served as the body of the undead, the efficiency of using those bones for creating an undead has severely decreased. Although that depends on how they would be used.
[Lesser Mana Stone]: A stone which though the exposer of content mana manager to gain the ability to hold pure mana. It is currently through the process of crystallization.
"So those guys held bones from other skeletons? Why though? They sound pretty useless. And I guess that those stones become crystals like the one on the staff?" I went back and picked up the stuff from the ground and compared the dark crystal with this mana stone.
"Hmm, they do show resembles. About same size and form, just missing the color..." Thinking that I guessed right I put the mana stone to the place it has been.
"They sound useful but in my hands, they are noting better than some pretty glowing stones..."
Glancing all over the table they was nothing else interesting other than some papers to see. I reached out and picked one of the papers only to frown.
"Can´t read..." After pondering for some amount of time I decided to appraise it with the help of the status.
And what came out surprised me.
[********** Damaged Trial Log 41#]: I finaly found **** **** *** *** promote myself **** ***** goal ***** **** ****Further progress needed **** ***** ***** ***** Phylactery.
"Huh? Why are the words of the status report all marked with black? Is it due to the the the "Damaged" part?"
After being stunned for a bit I tried to make sense out of this mess.
"So the one wrote this...found something to promote himself? And apparently, this goal is a phylactery? What´s that?"
[Phylactery]: A Phylactery. Otherwise known for the Heart of an immortal lich. A tool made out high tier Necromancy knowledge that serves as a soul container. As long the phylactery stays intact, the body of a Lich can be reconstructed.
"What the hell did I just find!?" Is it alright for something like this to be inside a goblin cave!? There is no way that this caster goblin was actually the one that wrote this. Although I don´t know what High tier Necromancy looks like, I am absolutely certain that this caster goblin had no clue about the high-tier stuff.
I let the logs in the table and I reached my hand out to pick another paper out.
[********** Damaged Trial Log 72#]: ******* ***** ****** plan has succeded! **** ***** I managed to fully colapse the ***** ***** ******. Need to prepare ****** ***** lacking resources.
"Another one with the same gray spots...Except for the number that has changed, the paper is called the same." Reading through this log confused me even more than the first that I read.
"What did succeed? And how does collapsing something fit with lacking resources?" I place this log down and grabbed another one.
Every time I picked a paper, I would see the same gray spots in the text and the same name but with a different number.
After reading through some more of these logs I started to reorganize them by their number. It was then that I realized some numbers were missing.
The highest log number that I found was the number 162 with the lowest being 23.
I found exactly 34 different logs and the lower the number was, the more gray spots were covering the text.
"If the highest number is 162, then that should mean that there are at least 162 different kinds of logs somewhere around. Rather, they should have been 162 logs but they somehow had disappeared with only 34 logs remaining...."
With a frown on my face (he doesn´t have a face) I started looking at the whole room in hopes to find a missing log.
I pushed the tables, moved the barrels, and even tried to move the whole stone table.
Were I miserably failed at.
And as I was going to give up on the search I spotted one glowing spot behind where I moved the wooded table.
Taking a better look I could barely see a small piece of paper leaking out of the spot.
I headed there and what I saw was a stone barely blocking a hole.
The stone didn´t help much at hiding this piece of the paper cause of this shape.
Although it looked like it was badly hidden, that wasn´t actually the case!
Since this was supposed to be hidden from the eyes of goblins. The one that properly hidden this didn´t expect an undead with a perfect night vision to look for it. Which in the eyes of goblins was almost an invisible spot.
"Let´s see what number this time will be" I slowly pulled the stone out of the hole and gently gripped the piece of paper, afraid to further damage it.
And when I inspected the paper I was shocked!
No.
flabbergasted!
[Magic Scroll: Curse of Vigor]: A Magic Scroll which contains the process of the Spell [Curse of Vigor]. 1000 XP is required to have access to this spell.
"What!?"
Is it what I think it is!?
Does this mean that with this I will finally be able to use magic!?
"I never expected that I will be able to use magic this soon! Truly a blessing!" My excitement went through the roof and up to the sky the moment I realized what treasure I just found.
Truly a miracle!
"Then without further ado let´s quickly learn it..." I raised my hand and pressed the confirm button.
But...
