"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.

A War Beyond Kings
Author: I made som mistakes early in the story that I will have to correct, but it will take some time. I have not abandoned this story, but I will be working on my computer and will not be active on royal road. "The elves start to leave their secure forest of Silvanwood for the first time in over two thousand years. Wizards are murdered in their own homes one by one to the dismay of the Jeidan Order of mages. The ancient ruins in Agnellia seem to have awoken after thousands of years of abandon. The flames of war are brewing, and the continent of Maëgor is about to witness a war like never seen before." Author’s note: This is a serious story, loosely inspired from many great works, which you will maybe be able to identify on your own. It is entirely original though. I’ll be working on this for hours every day, but that doesn’t necessarily means that there’ll be daily chapters. I don't own the rights to the cover image, and will immediatly take it down if the author requires so. Every chapter will be at least 2000 words. And congratulations to anyone who guesses on which language the chapter titles are written in.

Due to the constraints of the project I feel it is more condensed than I would have liked but I won't change that. lots of research went into this.
