My Body attribute had gone up by two points, reaching and matching my Senses attribute.
"I wonder how far I can take this. I doubt I'll be able to do this forever."
I wouldn't be surprised I eventually hit a point where exercise became ineffective no matter how heavy the weight I used. That is how the body works, after all.
If that were the case, I would have to figure out how to get the System to increase my attributes artificially.
Looking down, I noticed stretched skin flaps drooping out of my shirt. I now had the physique of an average-sized person minus the extra skin.
"Let's cut it off."
Heading back inside the house, I walked to the kitchen and retrieved a butcher knife. Then stretching the skin out over the edge of the countertop, I quickly lopped it off, causing me to reel in pain.
"Fuck!"
I quickly recovered.
I must've cut three pounds of my own flesh off, and yet I felt so tranquil. I won't lie that my mindset toward self-mutilation was starting to disturb me.
Setting the butcher knife aside, I calmly watched as the giant gaping incision in my stomach clot up and repaired itself. Then repeating this same process to every place on my body, there was no longer any dangling skin left.
Once finished, I headed to the bathroom to look in the mirror.
A man with an average physique stared back at me. He was average in build but still looked a bit soft.

"So, this is how I look like as a skinny person, huh? Not half-bad."
My looks were maybe slightly above average but not anything to write home about.
Picking up the chunks of flesh and dropping them in the bin, I headed back outside and continued waiting for the girl to arrive.
***
It had been maybe an hour or two of waiting, and I started to get the feeling that something bad might've happened.
Grabbing the gun and slipping it into my pocket, I ran back in the direction of the camp.
As I got closer and closer to the camp, I began to hear gunfire and inhuman screaming. The screams sounded familiar like they were coming from a humanoid creature.
Turning the corner, I saw what looked like a picture pulled straight out of a zombie movie. Green little naked men with grotesquely large noses climbed out of the ravine and started swarming the encampment spears in hand.
"Goblins?!"
The goblins were getting shot down with rifles and pistols before they could even get close.
I wasn't quite sure what I could do other than approach the camp.
I peeked out and waved my hands over my head. Luckily, I wasn't shot as I closed in on the camp from the back.
"Get in here!" yelled one of the men trying to raise his voice above the gunfire.
Stepping inside the encampment, I saw women and children with looks of terror and hands clasped over their ears to shut out the noise.
The man handed me a pair of earmuffs and yelled, "Go grab the ammo crates out of the back of that truck."
He pointed at it and said, "it's that white one over there."
I nodded and ran over to the truck.

Putting my earmuffs, on I stacked up as many of the ammo crates as I could carry and walked back over to the men, dropping it beside them. I quickly flipped the crates open and tossed the loaded clips over to the men.
They grabbed the clips and reloaded their guns with them, throwing the empty ones aside.
The man looked back at me and yelled, "do you know how to shoot a gun?"
I nodded and yelled back, "I do!"
I never shot a gun before personally, but I knew how they worked, more or less.
The man yelled, "Good man, take this rifle and start shooting!"
Stepping up to the barricade, I started shooting at the goblins.
Piles of dead goblin corpses laid stacked up against the ravine ledge. They kept coming, and they weren't slowing down or showing signs of stopping anytime soon.
"If this keeps going, we'll run out of ammo."
A thought emerged that I needed to confirm.
I grabbed the rifle and an ammo crate and walked out of the encampment. As I did, the man yelled, "H-Hey, where the hell you are going!"
"To get a better angle. It's too cramped in here."
That was a lie, but I couldn't bother explaining.
"W-Wait! Wait!" he yelled after me as I bolted down the block
I wanted to actually know how many of these little guys there were. As far as I knew, there could've been an entire nation of them crawling out from the ravine.
Walking around to the other side of the block, I approached the edge of the ravine and peered down the side.
Goblins floated up into the air and out of the cavernous ravine like it was the rapture. Then as they approached the top, they climbed over the ledge and onto the surface.
"Is the System doing this?"
Pointing my gun at one of the levitating goblins, I opened fire to find that its corpse kept floating up until it reached the top, wherein then it floated to its resting place right along the ledge of the ravine.
"What the hell is going on? Is it…?"
Looking around, I notice this event is happening all up and down the ravine as far as I could make out. Many different types of creatures were levitating out of the ravine in clusters and packs with seemingly endless quantity.
It was then that the realization struck me that the entire population of fantasy monsters and beasts were coming out all at once.
"This is how they're brought to our world, isn't it?"
Throwing the rifle over my shoulder, I sprinted back to the encampment as fast as I could.
If the System was going to send the creature out all at once, then this wasn't a battle worth fighting for.
Turning the corner, I waved my arms and screamed, "Run! Run! Run!"
They couldn't hear me over the sound of gunfire.

Truck-kun Gets Sacrificed
Driscoll is my own version of a world with a game-like "system" of endless possibilities. MC has his own status, classes, skills, magic, and a living greatswordstaff in a world of monsters, demi-humans of all kinds, and even the supernatural. Sound good? Well, at first for Tru, it was a dream come true(I'm sorry). At least until reality hits him again and again. His quest from God is vague and must be discovered by him along the way. Hopefully, he can figure that out someday but for now, this new world's threats and his potential for power are motivation aplenty. With His new partner by his side, he's ready to embark on his mission of infinite sacrifice, however many lives it takes. The setting is pretty standard for fantasy, with my beginner attempts at writing. Litrpg elements are definitely involved here but It'll calm down as the story progresses and the world's foundation is laid. Judeo/Christian themes and principles take a major role and will be a backbone for much of the story. The fights will paint a picture in the mind rather than just be a bunch of number crunching. While he is meant to be a sacrifice to save all of Driscoll, he needs to gain enough power and influence to be a worthwhile sacrifice, or so he thinks. And so carnage will ensue as he avoids death as best he can while at the same time sacking himself for others. Truck Coon is your average determined, jiu-jitsu practitioner, tax associate that just started his new career. He dies to save kids from a semi-truck(Truck Coon got truck-kun'd, making him Truck-kun) and is transported to another world rather conventionally by God. Upon his arrival, he is quickly confronted with his first conflicts in the wild. Give it a shot and let me know what you think. Chapters are currently between 2300 and 4000 words and I try to post weekly, but also deal with severe limitations that cause late posts often. I have zero actual experience with writing stories and only recently started reading web novels in 2020. If you end up hating it, let me know your thoughts in a detailed comment or review, especially if you love it though :D I want to get better and welcome the feedback, so expect changes to be made with any flaws that y'all point out which I don't already have plans to address in future chapters. That being said, keep it constructive in nature, please. I have no Idea how the formatting and such will go, so if you like or dislike some techniques I try, give me that well-appreciated feedback! Thank you for reading.
