"GASPH"
The man wake up in th e middle of forest with low light in any spot. The man look around in the place where he wake up, an he realized the environment seems different. Like another place where he taken, last time memories he remember is he's been killed by a bear when he hunt in the forest but a bad luck hit him and the bear got him and dead.
As a hunter, that was the worst moment when your prey kills you, but the hunter confused about how can he live and survived after that. Near him there was only an iron axe for chopping wood and a hunting knife, the hunter remember before dead he bring his backpack and rifle for hunting, apart from all that, including food, there was nothing at all, only those 2 tools were left that he had.
"For now I must search a place for sleep and some food"
The hunter stand up take his ade and knife and walking in a direction that will take him who knows where it safe or not, looking on top, the sky is getting dark, he must get an place to camp and gather woods to light a campfire quickly.
"It would be bad if couple of wolf or anything come to attack me"
Several minutes passed and the hunter haven't find and place to build a campfire and the sky is getting dark. However, from the right corner, he saw as if there was a small light, maybe there was a group of people camping around the forest here, the hunter walked towards it but he realized the closer he got to the light, he realized that what he was approaching was a cave.
He thought that it was strange that there were people camping in the cave, it could be a bat's nest or even worse, a large wild animal's nest, so he crawled closer to the cave carefully so as not to wake up whoever was occupying the cave. And what he see was a group of small person but they color was green, nude and have a long ear.
"A Goblin...?"
Can't believe what he saw, It's not that they only exist in fantasy stories, but what he see now is real. Fortunately all that monster was sleep, but the night is still young, the hunter thought that there was no way they would sleep this early, and night had just fallen, maybe there were some of the remaining groups of goblins still hunting out there.
"Should I leave this place?"
"But... It's the only place what I found"
"I'm afraid there's something even more dangerous out there"
While he make a decision, he realized something, inside the cave he saw something like someone being tied up with chains attached to the cave wall. It was a women and only one person, but she not wearing anything but nude, suddenly the hunter held the knife he had kept to finish off the sleeping goblins to think he can talk with a woman. The hunter look around the cave carefully to make sure the goblin to set up an trap and sure there's no trap near cave, he walked silently toward cave, he count the goblins and there are 5 goblins sleeping no more no less.
In order for ambush them, the hunter first took the weapons that the goblins had that were near them, he took the weapons one by one, collected them and put them outside the cave where they couldn't find them anymore. After throwing away their weapons, the hunter stabbed one of the goblins with the knife he had, so as not to wake the other goblins he closed his mouth and immediately slashed his neck deeply quickly. First goblin was clear and 4 left to clear, the hunter doing the same thing to other untuk the last goblin, the goblin awake.
"Damn, the last one is awake!"
Seeing that all his friends were dead, the goblin became angry, shouted and then picked up a nearby rock to attack the hunter. The hunter can evade it but suddenly the goblin washing to him and try steal his knife on his hand. Panic, the hunter almost lost his knife, but he surprised the goblin was strong, however he remember he still have his axe, quickly the hunter pick his axe and stabbed it into the head of the goblin, to make sure the goblin really dead, he stabbed it again and again, and do it too to the other goblins where he killed it before.
Because of the commotion, the tied up woman woke up and just saw something unbelievable that was happening. The woman feels saved and thanked to the hunter. The hunter understand what the woman said, to think this is a fantasy world because he just met and goblins he thought his language and this world will different.
"Thank you, you saved me"
...
But the hunter noticed something unique about her, the tail and ears, the woman had them and she also had a black and white pattern like a cow on her tail and ears.
"Your body looks like human but you have tail and ear like cow"
"... Yeah, I am a demi-human called holstein"
"Holstein, so they came make a milk?" That was hunter think about her. The hunter asked her what's happen to her, and the holstein woman tell everything to the hunter of she was kidnapped while travel to the town to sell make some business, and their caravan being attacked by group of goblins, can't fight back untuk their friends being killed, there is also 1 big one among them who is better known as the hobgoblin that make them wiped out. She also said that hobgoblins are bigger than regular goblins but slightly smaller than orcs who have bigger bodies.
"So, your caravan being attacked and only you alive here"
"Yes, they're take me here and rape me many times"
"I see..."
Thinking that there was no other way to escape and the Holstein woman could not be freed, he offered that if she could finish off the remaining goblins, then there would be something in return from him.
"I can fight the goblins left, but that's not free"
"Not free... Ugh..."
The hunter know what she's thinking now, surprisingly the Holstein agree and will do whatever he want. After they both agreed, the hunter prepared to set up traps for the goblins who would return, then he asked the holstein woman how many goblins had gone including the big ones, she said there were about 9 including the big ones. After knowing how many goblins were left, the hunter immediately made a trap that was suitable for the small ones but would not be effective for the big ones, in a deeper place in this cave, the goblins also stored the confiscated goods that they looted from the horse carriages they attacked, luckily there were some sharp objects and glass bottles stored, the hunter could use them for them, he dug a small hole in several points near the cave then put some broken glass and knives that they had to hurt them first, for the big ones the hunter had to herd them out far from the cave.
Because there was no time left and thinking that he had made a lot of traps, he took a rope so that he could make a trap that could at least make the big one fall. After making the trap outside the cave, he went back to the cave to wait for the goblins to come back and get some weapons, sandbags. Many minutes passed, a group of goblins left return, include the hobgoblin, the hunters grab his axe and knife, One of the goblins realized the hunter and immediately called some of his friends to attack him. Luckily, when the goblins ran towards the cave, their feet fell into the trap that the hunter had made and they felt pain because of the glass and the knife that had been set. Seeing that opportunity, the hunter immediately slit the goblins' throats and stabbed them right in the heart to make sure they were really dead
"Shit, only four of them!"
Surprisingly, the hobgoblin charged straight towards the hunter and swung his big weapon at him, luckily the hunter managed to dodge and then ran in another direction, the small goblins threw stones at the hunter, some even brought arrows and threw arrows at him. knowing that his life would be in danger, the hunter ran towards the forest but not towards the trap he had set, thinking that he could blind them for a moment because at night they could only rely on the light of the moon which was also less advantageous for the hunter, but his hunting instincts woke him up to hunt them, successfully leading them away from the cave, he hid behind a tree then crawled down, with the help of the forest bushes he could attack silently, but when he saw the goblins there were only 4 following him including the big one.
"2 Archer, 1 with knife and 1 hobgoblin..."
"... Where's the one last!? Is he didn't join them?"
in the silent darkness with the help of the moonlight at night, the hunter had to be calm to finish off the little goblins, he crawled closer to one of the goblins carrying an arrow which was a threat to him, he made a distraction so that their focus would be diverted, after one of his targets was closer to him, he threw a tree branch, after their focus was diverted, the hunter immediately held the archer goblin captive then stabbed his neck with a knife and stabbed his heart, also covered his mouth so that he would not make any more noise, after the archer goblin died, the hunter took the bow and arrows that the goblin had.
"Wooden bow and Arrow...can I... Used it?"
The hunter never used a wooden bow before because during his time as a hunter he was only good at using his rifle, worried that his shot would miss, he put it away for the time being and ambushed the remaining 2 small goblins. After 2 goblins eliminated, the hobgoblin become frenzy to the hunter, realized his 3 friend already die the hobgoblin again chasing the hunters, the hunters now running away but then hunter now running into the trap for the hobgoblin. When he arrived at the area where he set the trap, he immediately jumped because he knew where the trap was, the hobgoblin who continued to chase the hunter continuously without thinking anything, he fell easily from the rope the hunter set on two nearby trees, the trap also dropped a net that was enough to cover the hobgoblin's entire body.
The hunter did not believe in the trap he had set, because he made the trap because he had little time and there were only a few items that the goblins kept, and luckily there was a net that would be useful for him. Not believing that a cheap trap could bring down a big monster like that, he immediately took a bow and arrow and shot several arrows at it even though some missed, hit by the arrow but the hobgoblin still struggled in pain, but he was still lying on the ground with the trap net, the hunter approached him then threw the sandbag he was carrying so that the hobgoblin's vision was reduced, then he walked backwards to stab the hobgoblin's back with his axe, he had to stab him several times so that he would lie down weakly exhausted, when the hobgoblin was felt to have stopped moving, he approached the hobgoblin's head to finish him off and make sure he was really dead.
After making sure the hobgoblin was dead, he took some knives that the hobgoblin had kept and then walked back to the cave, but before returning, he also brought the hobgoblin's head as proof that he really killed it for the Holstein woman.
