On the journey back to town, we hunted down every remaining Goblin in the surrounding forest.
One after another...
They fell.

"Send it to Leon."
"Tell him it's a gift from me."
"He'll need it more than I do."
Gift Sent Successfully
Rex sounded pleased.
"A wise decision."
"I also recommend placing all of your followers into a single party."
I stopped walking.
"You couldn't have told me that sooner?"
"I advise."
"I do not decide."
"...Fair enough."
"Create a party."
"Add every follower."

"Rex."
"When did I unlock the Luck stat?"
"When you became a Necromancer."
"Certain Classes reveal hidden attributes."
"So there are more hidden stats?"
"Many."
"Every fifty levels unlocks new possibilities."
"Level 150 will allow you to choose another special attribute."
"And yes..."
"It can also be upgraded."
This world just kept getting crazier.
Before leaving the Goblin Fortress, we looted everything.
Loot Obtained

9mm Pistol
Legendary Shield

King of the Unwanted

I couldn't stop staring at the shield.
"So Luck really affects drops?"
"Confirmed."
"Everything in System World is influenced by Luck."
I grinned.
"So being lucky is basically another superpower."
I finally had a gun again.
Just holding the pistol reminded me of my life on Earth.
Without hesitation, I handed my old sword to one of my Goblin Soldiers.
The undead immediately began evolving.

I blinked.
"Seriously?"
"I have Necromancer powers..."
"And now I'm becoming a Summoner too?"
"This class is ridiculous."
Rex chuckled.
"Perhaps you should keep some of your abilities secret."
"People fear what they don't understand."
"I was thinking the same thing."
Another notification appeared.
New Base Acquired
Keep or Sell?
"You can own multiple Bases," Rex explained.
"You may also sell them for resources."
I looked around.
"I already have Base 101."
"Sell it."
Selling Base...
Minutes later...
A massive airship descended from the clouds.
Everyone stopped walking.
The ship landed nearby.
Five people climbed down.
Four adults...
Two children...
And a large German Shepherd.
Humans.
Real humans from Earth.
I walked forward.
"Hey."
"My name's Sam."
The man leading the group smiled.
"I'm Dennis."
"I'm the leader of this unit."
He looked exhausted.
"Our Systems told us there were other humans nearby."
"So we've been grinding nonstop."
"We finally found an airship."
"We were searching for a Base."
"I'm only Level 5."
"My second-in-command is Zack."
"We're all still beginners."
I noticed he was holding something back.
But...
So was I.
No one reveals all their secrets to a stranger.
We negotiated.
Dennis purchased the Goblin Base.
Then we signed our first official trade agreement.
Trade Partner Established
Dennis
Zack
Trade System Unlocked
Trade resources, equipment, food, and materials between allied Bases.
Both sides benefit from future growth.
As the airship disappeared into the sky...
I couldn't help but smile.
Humanity wasn't alone anymore.
We were beginning to rebuild.
Together.
Our group continued toward town.
This time...
The guards greeted Ben with respect and waved us through without question.
We walked straight to the inn.
Ben cupped his hands around his mouth.
"ZORA!"
"We're home!"
"And we've got company!"
A cheerful voice echoed from the kitchen.
"I'm coming, honey!"
The door swung open...
