"That oughta do it, I think so anyway." I murmur to myself under my breath while clutching the dagger I had taken from the goblin's corpse. "Ok it's now or never I guess." Ehhhhhh the door creaks as I slowly open it. I cringe while thinking of all the different creatures that could be lurking in the rescesses of the hall way. And what I see horrifies me more than anything else I had ever seen in my life. Dark red smears of blood as well as gory chunks of flesh are splattered all over the hall and the lockers.
I hold back my urge to vomit at the sight that lays before me. I slowly creep forward warily afraid of something that might jump out at me if i'm not careful.
"How the Hell did this all happen so fast That goblin appeared less then 20 minutes ago, but this...."
"But this... isn't right how could this happen this is terrible. hoooh pull it together Daemon."
"Raaah", I hear a screech coming from behind me. "Wha-" I start to shout before a sharp pain bursts through my shoulder and sends me flying off my feet.
-8 hp bleeding -1hp per 5 seconds
"Shit Fire!" I scream as pain flows through my shoulder before spreading troughout my body.
Turning to look i see a goblin standing behind me holding a bloodied dagger in it's hand. "Heh heh heh" it cackled out waving it's blood stained dagger in glee. "Rooar" My face turns red with rage and pain as I shout my anger back at it, and charge towards it with my dagger held out in front of me. A look of suprise flashes across it's face as it realises it's prey was fighting back, as my dagger slams into it's shoulder it's look of surprise turns to anger as it drops it's weapon, taking this chance I rip my dagger out of it's shoulder and slam it into the goblin's throat to finish it off.

My eyes sweep up and down the hall as I search for anything that might have been attracted by the sounds of the scuffle. To my relief I see nothing but as I have just learned and nearly payed dearly for learning it I need to keep a sharper eye out, and need to pay more attention to my surroundings.Scanning the area oncemore, and once again finding nothing I lean down to scoop up this things dagger.

"What seriously, a skill, and 3 skill level ups, from a corpse!? This is Awesome" I say happily.
All of the sudden a wave of nausea comes over me as I realized what was happening and what I had done. Barely supressing the nausea I realized the magnitude of the events that had taken place over the last half an hour. I start to walk away before I hesitated remembering some of the information from the description of that thing's corpse. "It did say the corpse could be used for making armor, weapons, and potions didn't it? No I can't believe I was thinking of that, well it is a monster aaand I really don't wanna die, so what could it hurt, but on the other hand am I really going to desecrate a corpse just to survive, Yeah I guess I am" I say as I store the corpse into my inventory. "I should probably go rest for a little bit before I keep searching shouldn't I?" Yeah, I should I think to myself as I return to the bathroom.

There, they were forced to sign soul pacts with evil soul pets: Nightmares. These devils slowly devoured the souls of their trainers to grow stronger.

Daily life of a cultivation judge
Tired of those cultivators who think it is righteous to eliminate a sect or clan root and stem all in the name of revenge and avoiding future troubles, fights over treasures that end up destroying cities with no consequence whatsoever to the culprit, these psychos whose aim for the peak always involves a trail of carnage and bloodshed in its wake for some reason. Then look no further than the daily life of a cultivation judge. Yang Qing, is a young genius cultivator from a low-tier family whose only safe choice to get resources and hopefully lead an easy life led him to the courts of the Cultivation Order Society. Author’s disclaimer: Hey there this is my first novel so any criticism will be well taken though beware I’m a million-year-old monster who has cultivated the way of the sword to the peak. The daily life of a cultivation judge will be true to its name so it will be heavily on the slice of life lane with a bit of action here and there.Meaning we will see the life of Yang Qing when he clocks in and out. Hopefully, it will be one of those novels you read if you need to relax or are in a slacker mood like one of those otakus who listen to the noises of cicadas in the summer famously used in most animes. And it is in the slacker spirit that chapter release will be on Wednesday,Thursday and Friday. Sank yuuu Cover art by Conny Schneider on Unsplash
