Two days had passed since Kai distributed his new stat points. That morning, Kai decided to walk along the edges of the southern path. Suddenly, the peaceful silence of the forest was shattered by the crashing of splintering wood and the desperate neighing of a horse. Kai tensed up.
He moved quickly, sprinting toward the source of the sound. Then, the scene came into view, a dark wooden carriage, loaded with sacks of salt and spices, lay overturned. Six goblins were harassing the driver. The man, middle aged and dressed in rich fabrics now stained with mud, brandished a whip with trembling hands. His only guard lay unconscious a few meters away, a bloody gash across his forehead.
"Back, you vermin!" the man shouted, but one goblin was already preparing to spring at his throat.
