The World seems Realistic but Why do I have a Leveling System?

Now, what should she do? Attack? But she couldn't handle them all by herself; It would just be a suicide. Hit and run? That might work, but she was worried that the Goblin King that was sitting on the throne might be able to know her presence which would wreck the plan.

Sheila was pondering while watching them from afar within the shadow. If the Goblin King didn't make a move, she might able to wipe out the other, but it would take a lot of time. The four Goblin Fighters stood to close to the Goblin King; she couldn't take them out without notifying the latter of her presence. Should I risk it? If I won against them, how many experiences would I get? What would the drop item from Goblin King be? The saying about good things is always risky doesn't seem like an untrue, after all.

"I'll just give it a go."

She could exit from the Trial Tower anytime given that she has acquired access from the previous quest reward. It was not possible to exit the Trial Tower unless she clears out her surrounding up until now, but after getting the reward, she could exit it even amid the battle with the boss. Oh, before that, let me check if there's any new quest.

There is only one quest available which is Kill the Goblin King. The reward is ten attribute point and one skill book, but it didn't explain what skill book it would be. But even so, the reward is very tempting; she couldn't lie. She would not just get experiences and the drop item; she would also get ten AP with one skill book from the quest reward. The reward really outweighs the cons. 

Without any word, Sheila used her invisible mouse in her mind and clicked on accept the quest. With that done, Sheila charges ahead but still within the shadow. When she was close to the group of goblins, she immediately conjures fireball and fires out at them before pulling back. Thankfully, it seems that the Goblin King didn't notice her presence since she was not so close to it. 

『 You have killed the Elite Goblin Lv.10! 』

『 You have killed the Elite Goblin Lv.12! 』

『 You have killed the Elite Goblin Lv.11! 』

『 You have killed the Elite Goblin Lv.13! 』

One-shot four killed. The other goblins and Goblin Shaman were in disarray as they didn't expect to get attacked suddenly. The Goblin Shaman tried to search for her presence in the area using magic, but Sheila has already gone out of range. Once she saw them quieted down, she didn't make a move yet but wait a few minutes more before attacking again with the fireball spell at the other spot where the goblins grouped up. Yes, her plan was hit and run. It's a lot nicer now that she has shadow magic which would help her escape even better. Her fireball swallowed the three goblins, and soon she heard a notification that she loves the most, level up.

Finally, three more and she will get into twenty. Isn't this a good grinding spot for level up? She could power leveling Ria on this floor, but Ria had to clear the First Floor beforehand. It won't be long before Ria met the Slime King. 

After another yet success attack, Sheila thought that the Goblin Shaman would finally be wary of their surrounding, but she guesses wrong as they simply went back to their place when they couldn't find her with their magic. Are they this lax because of the goblin sitting on the throne? Possible, but she wonders what they will do once the goblins are all cleared out. 

"It's much easier for me that they are lax. Sorry, goblins. It seems that your life is not important to them."

"But you don't need to be that sad as I will appreciate you as an experience for me."

Sheila muttered to herself as she smirked. Her eyes now glimmer of greed as she stares at the group of goblins in her sight. It's possible for her to level up again if she manages to clear this floor. The mob goblins have become warier of their surrounding after the second attacked from her, but obviously, they couldn't do anything since she was hidden in the shadow. This is why assassin is scarier than a warrior who fights head-on. You can see and plan it out when your opponent is a warrior, but if it's an assassin, you have to be worried that you won't get suddenly attacked from behind while in the midst of planning. 

Sheila could act as an assassin with her AWP sword, but she prefers firing a fireball spell instead since it's AOE(Area of Effect) rather than a single target. It will take a lot more time if she does that, after all. Magic is great! 

Sheila repeated the hit and run strategy and eventually left with only two Goblin Shamans who stood next to each other while looking at their surroundings in wariness. The repeated hit and run attacked finally caught their attention, but by then, the goblins have already been wiped out. They wanted to warn their King but couldn't gather enough courage in the end since they didn't want to be punished for being lax, which caused this incident to happen. The only way to get out of this is by defeating whatever that is attacking them. 

After the one-sided massacre of the group of goblins, She still hasn't acquired enough experience to level up. But she had a feeling that if she kills one of the two Goblin Shamans, she would have enough to level up. 

Actually, on her third hit-and-run round, Shadow magic went up to level 2, and it wasn't just that, the fire magic had also gone up to level 4. The new spell that she had learned from the level up is called Inferno. Doesn't it sound like some kind of ultimate fire magic? She didn't expect the fire magic to level up since she had only used fireball, that is all she did, yet guess it doesn't matter. She can't wait to see how strong the new spell is. Just imagine herself conjuring such a spell already make her excited to no end.

As for shadow magic, Sheila couldn't just hide her presence in the shadow better, she could also bind someone with their shadow, but it depends on her strength. If she's stronger, she could bind them as much as she wants, but if she's weaker, they would be able to break out of it with just their strength. What a total jackpot! This would definitely help her in the fight against the Goblin King. 

Sheila looked at the two Goblin Shamans while she was hiding in the dark. A sword materialises before her, and she throws her arm toward it before grasping it in her hand. She won't be using magic anymore since it would definitely attract the attention of the one sitting on the throne. With two of her magic level up, Sheila had the confidence that she could clear this floor now.

Sheila silently creeps toward one of the Goblin Shaman on the left side while watching on the right side and the throne above. Her breathing becomes slow and quiet as she gets closer to it. The mind that was hectic moments ago due to level up had gone by the wind and replaced by a calming state of mind. She was already in their range yet they couldn't detect her since she was still within the shadow. But if she ever attacks now, they would definitely notice her presence right away. She has to kill the two and retreat before the one above could launch an attack on her.

As Sheila silently arrived on the left side, she took a stance, preparing herself for the battle. With her mind in the state of calm, she was ready. Without waiting any further, Sheila swings her sword at the Goblin Shaman.

Slash!

Not expecting an attack so close, the Goblin Shaman was beheaded on the spot without able to defend themselves. The other Goblin Shaman was obviously shocked by her attacks, but it quickly took hold of itself before shouting to alert the King of the unauthorised intruder.

"Guaaaa!"

『 You have leveled up! 』

But it forgets to defend itself against her so, in no time, it followed the footsteps of its kin. After beheading the shaman, Sheila was about to retreat when the roar coming from the throne froze her. It was intimidating and fearsome roar, one that was unexpected coming from a goblin. But a King still a King. Even if the goblin was known as the weakest race, their King is not weak by any mean. 

Sheila eyes narrowed as her body was unable to move when she heard the roar above. She pulled out all her strength onto moving her body, and when she could finally move her body, the Goblin King was already right in front of her. It was not just that; the four Goblin Fighters had also surrounded her. The path to escape has been sealed away; her only choice left is to fight out of it. 

Actually, she could escape from the Trial Tower, but due to the heat of the moment, the thought never crosses her mind. She gripped her sword in hands hard before resolving herself for the upcoming battle. 

"Come on then!"

She shouted at the Goblin King before swinging her sword at it.
