Chapter 4- A growing power...Goblins?

Hello everyone, it's Ray again. I'm currently stuck in a game with 1 health and permanent 1 stats for the rest of my natural game life. But it's ok, you know why? Because I'm the greatest! Mwahahahaha! Now I'm stuck in this goblin village and I need to make it strong. Hmm, I wonder where are the other beta testers though. Oh well.

"Um, Mr Ray?"

"Huh?"

"Um, so the goblins are complaining about the amount of work they are doing. Right now, the walls are almost half done. Is there a dire need to have them completed so quickly?"

Sigh. This is Maya, village chief of the Western Forest Goblins, however she's not even a goblin herself. She's just a regular beautiful woman with, I must admit, the most childish of personalities. We got into a few arguments and she is now sort of acting as my secretary, supervising the goblins. This was necessary as they would never listen to an outsider.

"Ms Maya, we've talked about this. The forests are full of wild animals and monsters, the other factions could always come anytime. We need to get the defenses up and running! Anyway, how's the task I asked you for?"

"Ah, you mean the gathering of materials? Yes, I have a party of 6 gathering up wood and copper with another 7 goblins ambushing certain paths into the forest. Um, I must ask, why exactly must the goblins be ambushing passersby?"

"Because I need to learn more about this world and you guys being secluded in this forest is not exactly the most ideal now is it?"

Maya could only pout and silently nod at that. Damn it, I should have burnt this guy at the stake. First he takes over the village and now I have to work as his damn secretary, I have shamed our ancestors!

Ray could only slyly grin as he watched the pouting woman wallow in her thoughts and clearly showing themselves on her face. She's so cute when she's trying to think. Huehuehue, I wouldn't mind taking her into my bleep and then bleeping her with bleeping bleeps. CALM YOURSELF RAY, she's just an AI, she's just an AI, she's just an AI...

Currently, the village is under heavy construction works. Ray has come up with plans to surround the village with walls for a start. The next few things after would be stockpiling food, gathering information and the most important of all. A house for himself...

I cannot stand another day sleeping on this dirt floor! I know it's a game and all but it's WAY TOO GROSS. There's bugs, it's hard and i swear I can smell the stink on my clothes. THIS GAME IS TOO REALISTIC!!!

Ray could only sigh, this game was extremely detailed, from their emotions, the sounds, the sense of touch. But comeon, this is a game. So many complaints, for now though. Let's see if I can get rid of this stink.

"Uh, Mr Ray where are you going?"

"To the nearby lake, before I go handle the other problems in the village I should at least clean myself up..."

...

WOAH, this lake is amazing, I can actually see the bottom of it. So pure and clean, good job game devs! Truly a water worthy of cleaning the great me!

One stripping scene later.

"Ahhhh, this water is so amazing. It feels like it's healing my very soul!"

Entered Lake of Cleansing.

Health and mana regeneration has been increased by 100%

Diseases and Debuffs cleansed at a rate of 1% per second.

Eh? There's a rate? So the longer you soak, the more of a debuff is removed. Cool. WAIT, could it work...menu, info.

Hated by Bob is a godly curse and thus cannot be cleansed unless by the god himself.

Why did they name such a powerful god Bob...damnit game developers. There goes my hopes, not that I had much of it in the first place. Ah, at least I have this wonderful water and this peace and qu-.

"My my, what have we here!"

...Why world, why...

"A fellow player has found himself lost in the forest I see! Come lads!"

Ray was rudely awakened from his peaceful thoughts by a loud mouthed brat, a large buff ogre-like creature and a party of bandits behind her. What is this, a manga?

Authors Note: Well, i try to.

"Oi oi, who're you people who dare disturb the great me from his peaceful bath."

"Hoo hoo hoo, great you say. Well if you're great then you can call me The Great Queen Elizabeth!"

That great was unnecessary..

"Hoo hoo hoo, now then hand over your belongings to my great bandit clan!"

There's only 8 people... what's so great about it... sigh.

"I'm sorry, but I have nothing to give you. However, I do know a place with lots of great loot and it's totally free!"

Hoo, hoo, hoo. We've hit the jackpot!

Hue, hue, hue. I've hit the jackpot.

"Very well then! I shall spare you, in exchange lead us to it um, uh."

"Ray, call me ray." Ray immediately stood up, forming a proud pose with his arms on his hips.

Eh, eh, ehhhh!?
