When his breath and pulse finally calmed down, he sat up and looked at the dead goblin lying on the ground. Blood was still gushing out of the cut on his neck while another wound on its leg exposed the muscles and tendons beneath the skin, Bao turned around his now pale face and tried to suppress a sudden dwelling in his stomach area. Such detailed gory scenes would have never been allowed, if VR games would still be legal and controlled by the government, this had nothing to do with playing fun games anymore. Despite his reaction to the brutality in front of him, the wound on the leg picked his interest, it was fairly fresh and he for sure didn't have the weapon to inflict such damage. It could have fled from someone or even worse, something, stronger than a goblin, alerted Bao listened into the dark forest. He could hear the sound of clashing swords in the distance mixed with screams of pain and agony. It took him several seconds of attentive listening to recognize the approximate direction of the battle and who or what was the origin of the screams. Humans! That meant civilization was near and more importantly medical treatment for the wound on his chest, that already started to itch.
"Status!"
Before he threw himself in another battle, he would need a power-up or the only thing there to be found, would be his death. As said in the tutorial the status screen appeared out of thin air and displayed his newly gained attribute points, two in number, he could distribute to his own needs. It didn't take him long to decide where to put them, with his finger he slid over the window and pressed the plus button until no APs were left. Before he closed the window something else caught his eye at the bottom of the list, he already got a new skill.
