Sigh!
Dhruv sighed as he wiped the goblin’s blood from his face and glanced at the notification in front of him.
’The name of the monster was Berserk Goblin. It definitely was a new species from the one I had seen till now. So, that means the monster could also find and follow unique evolution pathways if they found something early on. Fair enough,’
Dhruv thought as he took a mental note to mention this point in his notebook.
As he was in the middle of his thought, his gaze got to the last part of the notification,
’Even though the monster was only at Tier Ⅱ, it provided enough Exp for me to level up twice. Talking about levels, what level am I at this moment?’
With this thought in his mind, he opened his status and began to look at his levels and other things.

Even though the goblin was strong in his species, when compared to Dhruv’s stats, it fell short. Even in physical terms, Dhruv had a higher level, and that became the reason for the goblins’ doom.
’sigh! there is a long way to go for the next evolution...’ Dhruv thought looking at how he still needs about 33 more levels to evolve once again.
Even thought it would take him some time he was happy at the thought of trying something new during the evolution. He was sure if everything went as planned and it worked then he was going to get the best upgrade ever possible in the history of Cosmos.
After finding the blank screen beside the skill section, Dhruv promised himself to buy new skills the moment he got free time in his hands or maybe even after he got out of this dungeon.
After thinking for a while, Dhruv bent down toward the goblin corpse and activated mana vision.
Instantly, he found the exact location of the core in the goblin’s body. Dhruv dug out the core from the body and absorbed it.
When Dhruv looked at the difference in core saturation, he found out that the saturation of his core had increased by 1%.
It didn’t sound like a lot, but when compared to the scenario where at least 3-4 Tier ⅠⅡ cores were needed to make up for 1%, it sure proved its worth.
Dhruv was about to return to the portal but then he remembered what he was about to do before the goblin attacked. He was about to kill all the other goblins.
He looked toward the tree and found the corpse of the slave goblin plastered all over the tree trunk.
While looking at the scene he couldn’t help but remark, "Serves you right..."
After making this remark, he moved toward the hole where the rest of the goblins were and began to kill them one by one. After killing them, he extracted all their cores as well.
Killing all the goblins here had rewarded him with another Level, while the cores provided a 2% increase.
With nothing more to do here, Dhruv began to travel toward the portal.
While he was walking toward the portal, the corner of his eye picked up something.
Dhruv stopped and looked in that direction. After carefully looking, he found out that it was a group of beasts grazing on the plants.
Looking at the beasts who resembled a boar but were slightly longer and heavier, Dhruv got an idea.
He calmly walked toward them and fired a metal spear. He had used his skill to multiply as well, and with the help of that, he killed all five boars in one go...
Dhruv glanced at his status screen and found out that the name of the beast was [Adult Cinghiale].
After placing the corpses in his ring, Dhruv found that it was getting difficult to balance himself after wearing the ring on his finger. So, he removed the ring from his finger and kept it in his hand.
"Now, this is better..."
After hunting another group and an hour of traveling, he finally reached the portal and entered it to return to the real world.
...
The moment Dhruv got out of the portal, he couldn’t help but be surprised.
The reason for his surprise was that there weren’t any walls surrounding the portal. He could see the sea and even the sky from where he was standing.
After hours of labor, work, and effort, the tribes, newcomers, and the undead, with their combined strength, had managed to clear out a large chunk of the prison.
Happy with their work Dhruv began to take a stroll to see everything. While he was waking collected a few bows from here and there.
’They sure are respectful to me,’ he thought, finding this point somewhat peculiar.
Dhruv had even noticed that after coming to the island, the tribes had somewhat reduced their prayers to their goddess. Compared to the time they had landed their behavior now was somewhat concerning.
Before he could think about this matter any further he Found Azarex and Vexar who were talking among themselves...
Looking at their master, they both bowed with full respect and awaited Dhruv’s orders.
"It is already noon, and I have caught some beasts. Inform the group to cook meals for all," Dhruv said as he began to extract corpses from the ring.
These were the same boars Dhruv had caught while coming toward the portal. He had already taken a bite and knew that there wasn’t any poison in them.
Even with his poison immunity, if he ate something with poison, he would find that the taste of that item would change from that of the shop flavor.
Vexar and Azarex both picked five boars each and began to walk toward the tribe’s priestess.
Looking at the boars in their hands, many onlookers already knew what was on the menu today. A smile began to form on their faces.
Azarex quickly found Lyra and informed her that Dhruv wished to cook boar today.
Lyra wholeheartedly followed Dhruv’s orders and quickly found some members of her tribe who were skilled at cooking. Some of the newcomers also volunteered to help with the work...
Dhruv began to wait for night to come patiently, so he could finally eat a real meal...
