Gods' Impact Online-Chapter 4
Chapter 4
Zach casually entered the first floor of the solo dungeon and waited for the goblins to spawn.
Zach recalled what the players they met in the town told him about the dungeon.
'First floor will have five goblins. The second floor will have 10. The third floor will have 20. The fourth floor will have 30. And the fifth floor will have 51, with 50 normal goblins, and one goblin king— that would be equal to 50 normal goblins.'
Five goblins spawned at some distance from Zach.
[Level 5. Low Goblins! HP- 100/100.]
"..." Zach watched them as he thought, 'Not what I expected.'
Normally, anyone would expect the goblins to be green-colored, but here, they were pale yellow.
Zach calmly took out his sword and let the goblins dash at him.
He was too lazy to approach the goblins, so he let them come at him.
Zach swiftly swung his sword and walked past the goblins as their bodies dropped to the ground in pieces.
"Hmm~ who would have thought my kitchen skills would come in handy," he chuckled. Even though he knew, he has no kitchen skills.
Zach has never cooked in his life. Heck, he has never been in the kitchen. His mother and sister don't let him enter because he can't cook.
[Received 10 EXP.]
[Received 10 EXP.]
[Received 10 EXP.]
[Received 10 EXP.]
[Received 10 EXP.]
"Each goblin gave only 10 EXP…." Zach muttered in frustration.
[Quest- Defeat five goblins has been completed!]
[Congratulations! You have received the reward of completing the quest. Reward- 500 EXP.]
Zach opened his menu to see how many more EXP he needed to level up.
[EXP- 550/1000.]
After looking at his stats, Zach pondered for a while and uttered, "So 45 more goblin to kill to level up."
[Floor 1 has been cleared!]
Two portals appeared in front of Zach after he cleared the first floor.
One portal was blue colored, and it said, 'Enter to proceed to the next floor.'
Another one was yellow-colored, and it said, 'Enter to exit the dungeon.'
Zach then looked at the time and saw only 5 minutes had passed from the one-hour time limit Shay gave to them.
Zach entered the blue portal and entered the second floor.
'This one will have ten goblins, huh? Well, I can handle ten at once,' Zach thought to himself.
Ten goblins spawned in front of Zach, but this time, instead of pale yellow, they were dark yellow.'
[Level 5. Low Goblins! HP- 100/100.]
The goblins were carrying a small dagger in their hands. They looked at Zach with a fierce glare in their eyes and dashed at Zach.
This time, instead of standing and waiting for the goblins to come to him, Zach ran past the horde of 10 goblins while swinging his sword in a motion.
The goblins' bodies fell, but one goblin remained.
"Tch!" Zach clicked his tongue and uttered, "I missed one."
He dashed at the one last remaining goblin and cleaved its head.
[Received 100 EXP!]
[Floor 2 Has been cleared!]
The same two portals appeared before Zach, and he entered floor three.
"20 at once might be a little tough considering I messed up on the previous floor," Zach murmured.
Twenty green-colored goblins spawned in front of Zach. They were carrying a short sword with them.
[Level 10 goblins. Rouge Goblins! HP- 300/300]
"This game seriously needs to work on the power system. Here, level one players are easily defeating level 10 goblins without breaking a sweat," Zach commented.
Surprisingly, Shay also said the same thing a while ago in his solo dungeon. But he knew that mobs were mobs.
However, were they truly mobs? It was a game created by gods, it was a world created by gods, so can the monsters be mobs? Or perhaps, they were real monsters?
Zach carefully glanced around the dungeon and calculated his attack.
Since there were more goblins, the space to move freely in the dungeon was low.
Zach wanted to plan more before engaging in an attack, but the goblins weren't so patient.
They surrounded Zach from the sides and jumped on him to attack him at once.
SIGH!
"As expected from the mindless monsters." Zach jumped in the air and leaped over the goblins. Then, as soon as he landed, he launched himself at the goblins and slashed them down.
"Only managed to get 7 of them, huh?"
Zach jumped again to make some distance between them. Then, he dashed at them and cut them one by one. To make it more interesting, Zach killed the last remaining two goblins in a bizarre way.
He stabbed his sword in the goblin's ass that came out of its front, and then he raised that sword with the goblin's body still on it. Then, he stabbed the last goblin in the face, or rather, in the mouth.
[Received 200 EXP!]
[Floor 3 has been cleared!]
[EXP- 850/1000]
"I will be leveling up on the next floor. I should select my Class, or I might get a random one," he muttered.
If the players didn't choose any class while creating a character, they were assigned a random class.
Zach didn't want to get stuck with the Class he didn't like, so he opened his menu and went to the class section to select his Class.
He looked through the available classes.
[Class:
«Bandit. (Can be upgraded to Hunter/ Rogue/ Assassin after reaching the level at 10/ 25/ 50.»
«Witcher. Can be upgraded to Mage/ Warlock after reaching the level at 25/50.»
«Healer. Can be upgraded to Priest/ Pope after reaching the level 25/50.»
«Swordsman. Can be upgraded to Warrior/ Knight/ Paladin Knight after reaching the level 10/25/50.»
«Bowman. Can be upgraded to Archer/ Ranger/ Gunslinger after reaching the level 10/25/50.»]
Zach looked at the classes and pondered, "So there are only five classes, and I have to choose one of them."
"I think I will be fine with anything except Healer class," he scoffed. "And I can't choose the witcher class as my primary Class. So I only have three classes to choose from."
'You can unlock hidden classes if you have the potential.' Zach then remembered the hidden classes Kayden mentioned.
Zach sat down on the ground and closed his eyes.
'Since the game is allowing the players to use real-life skills and talents, I shall make use of them," he asserted with his eyes closed.
There was one thing that no one knew about Zach except his parents, not even Kayden— who was Zach's best friend.
Zach kept his eyes closed, but he was struggling to keep them close.
Suddenly, a prompt appeared in front of Zach's screen.
[Congratulations! You have unlocked the class 'Cultivator'!]

Author's Note- Before anyone jumps to a conclusion, I want to make it clear that this novel won't focus on cultivation. Yes, it has a cultivation tag, and Zach will indeed cultivate, but it will be between chapters and only be mentioned in the following chapters whenever he cultivates.
Although if something new or important happens while Zach is cultivating, then I will write it.
Also, Zach can cultivate, but at the same time, he can't cultivate (yet). What do I mean by that? Well, you will have to read the following chapters to find out.
