I thought about it before but there was no level system in this game even though there were stats. I only had 1HP left, my body was tired and sore. I was out of breath and constantly grasping for air. I had bruises and cuts all over my body and it wasn't just me. After the goblins left, Howard just collapsed on the ground. He looked even more roughed up than I did but at the same time he looked so relieved.

"Howard...Good job."

Howard slowly turns his head towards me and smiles. He brings his fist up towards me and I fist-bump him smiling back at him.

[ Loyalty Points (Lucina) + 90 ]

[ Loyalty Points (Howard) + 90 ]

[ Loyalty Points (Luke) + 90 ]

[ Loyalty Points (Hus) + 90]

[ Loyalty Points (Lucina) MAX]

[ Loyalty Points (Howard) MAX]

[ Loyalty Points (Luke) MAX]

[ Loyalty Points (Hus) MAX]

Fist-bumping Howard triggered a series of notifications in front of me and at the same time, another system notification was shown.

[ You can view the status of your Loyal Subjects ]

[ Only those with MAX LP can be viewed ]

[ To do so, you must look at your subject and think of their name and status ]

I look at Howard and think of status following the instructions of the game.

Name: Howard

Race: Human

Health Points (HP): 1/25

Mana Points (MP): 0/2

Strength: 8

Vitality: 12

Intelligence: 7

Wisdom: 5

Agility: 4

Luck: 1

Skill: Roar (active) - 2 MP

So he did have a skill during that time but it could only be used once since he did not have enough mana to cast it again. At the same time, Howard's stats were greater than mine and I could tell during the fight he was stronger and could tank more damage. I quickly look at Luke, Lucina and old man Hus to see their stats as well.

Name: Luke

Race: Human

Health Points (HP): 5/10

Mana Points (MP): 2/2

Strength: 4

Vitality: 5

Intelligence: 7

Dexterity: 4

Agility: 10

Luck: 1

Name: Lucina

Race: Human

Health Points (HP): 8/10

Mana Points (MP): 0/0

Strength: 3

Vitality: 5

Intelligence: 5

Dexterity: 5

Agility: 5

Luck: 1

Name: Hus

Race: Human

Health Points (HP): 6/6

Mana Points (MP): 2/2

Strength: 4

Vitality: 3

Intelligence: 5

Dexterity: 15

Agility: 5

Luck: 1

Skill: Weapon Smith (passive), Armor Smith (passive)

Not so surprisingly, old man Hus had weapon and armor smithing and with his high dexterity he should be able to create better equipment with better materials. Lucina being more or less useless didn't surprise me either since she did not do much during the night however that's not where her talent shines. Her kindness and caring nature create a healing and relaxing atmosphere. Luke's stats surprised me a little bit. He had high agility and even potential to have a skill since even Howard's 2 MP was enough for a skill.

After resting for a bit my HP restored halfway and I started to walk towards the scene of last night's battle. I noticed before when the goblins burst into purple smoke but some things were left behind. Lucina stayed with Howard and old man Hus resting against the cave's wall while Luke followed me down. The closest object was a goblin knife.

[ Goblin Knife

Attack: 1

A short stick tied to a sharp stone]

With all the goblins that were killed by Howard and me, there were only 4 knives. However, as we go down the path and walked towards the places where goblins fell there was one more object.

[ Lucky Goblin Totem Necklace

Luck: 4

A goblin with a coin on its head. It increases the luck of the wearer ]

I wrap the necklace around my neck and walk back up to the cave. Curious I looked at my stats again seeing if there was a change and I was right there was a change.

Name: Ian

Race: Human

Health Points (HP): 1/10

Mana Points (MP): 0/0

Strength: 5

Vitality: 5

Intelligence: 5

Dexterity: 5

Agility: 5

Luck: 5

Equipment: Lucky Goblin Totem Necklace, Goblin Knife

I didn't look at my stats when I was holding the makeshift spear but I can only assume that the 'Equipment' tab appears when I am holding something or wearing something but it does not detect my clothes. Which can only mean my clothes provide no stats and that it would mean it does not appear on the 'Equipment' tab.

Once I finally got back to the cave there was a surprise announcement from the system.

[ Congratulations to those players who survived the night. Here is a leaderboard of the event]

[ These lucky 10 players will receive a gift for completing the opening event to a high degree the next time they login ]

Surprisingly, I got into the top 10 along with a familiar name Elves_or_Nothin. I did not expect to get such a high rating for the first event since all I did was hit goblins for hours. I have to thank Howard for doing so much for me in the fight and even Luke for his occasional backup.

[ There are only 10 more minutes before a forced logout.]

Another message not long after the leaderboard message popped up. Having only 10 minutes left I decided to just rest up and talk to everyone asking about their current condition. Not that much longer, the world turned grey and everyone froze. I close my eyes and when I opened them again I see the familiar ceiling of my room.
