Damons leapt instantly… and slammed violently into the ceiling.
BAM! CRACK!
"Rabbit! How do you manage that skill?!"
The rabbit shrugged.
"Talent, I guess."
Damons adjusted, observed, imitated. He jumped again. This time, he launched himself at a goblin and decapitated it mid-air.
WHOOSH! SCHLACK!

He landed on the ground, his sword glowing with purple light.
SHAAAAA!
[YOU USED 'MANA CHARGE.']
He slashed a goblin with a vertical strike.
Another appeared behind him. He flipped his sword and stabbed it in the gut.
CLANG! SHLUKK!

Gobo, Gobi, and Goba were staring at him, stunned.
"We can't let him fight alone!" shouted Gobi.
"But we're small… and weak…" hesitated Gobo.
"I'm going to fight with him!" declared Goba.
But three enemy goblins appeared. Too late to run.
Damons tried to dash… but a window popped up.
[YOUR 3 SOLDIERS ARE AWAKENING.]
Gobi grabbed a small sword that appeared in his hand.
CLING!
He leapt and plunged it into a goblin's skull.
SHLUKKK!

Gobo raised a spear and threw it without hesitation.

Goba, armed with a bow, fired six arrows at once.
SWISHH! SWISHH! SWISHH! SWISHH! SWISHH! SWISHH!
Three in each eye of the last one.
PLOK! PLOK!

Silence returned. All the enemies were dead. Damons dropped to the ground, panting.
"That was… my first real fight. I'm exhausted…"
The three goblins jumped into his arms, laughing. Damons smiled faintly.
Damons winced slightly.
"Urgh…"
He slowly stood up, dusting off his clothes, then looked up at the cave ceiling.
"Huh… I wonder what my stats are now."
He extended his hand in front of him.
"Status window."
A bluish glow shimmered in the air, projecting a translucent interface before his eyes.

"Hm… not bad at all."
He turned to the goblins, who were watching him curiously.
"You too, give it a try. I want to see your stats."
The three goblins nodded eagerly.

Damons nodded, arms crossed.
"Not bad for a start. You're doing well."
The goblins looked at each other, eyes sparkling. Maybe it was the first time someone praised them. They puffed up their chests proudly, as if they had just received a royal title.
But the joy was short-lived.
"Pff… That's it? You're really weak."
The rabbit had spoken in a dry tone, arms crossed. He stepped forward, lifting his head arrogantly.
"Watch what a real status window looks like."

Damons' eyes widened, jaw dropping.
"What are those insane stats… for a RABBIT?!"
"Hehe… bow before my power!" giggled the furry creature, raising its arms to the sky.
But before anyone could react, a magical wave shook the ground. A dark, swirling portal opened abruptly in the middle of the cave, sucking in the air with a low rumble.
Damons took a step back, panicked.
"No… not again!"
The vortex pulled him in instantly.
"NOOOOOOO!"
The goblins screamed as they were dragged into the distortion.
"GYAAAAAH!!"
Even the rabbit tried to escape, its paws scraping the ground.
"Why me toooooooo?!"
A black flash, then nothing.
Silence fell in the cave, now empty.
