The Unrecorded Extra

ραпdαn૦νel

Golden Goblin was usually known as a goblin that held rare, high-ranked items or treasures as a bunch of gold in some games.

But, in the novel, they were identified as a creature that brought luck with them. They were very rare goblin that was born naturally when a goblin champion ascended as a goblin king.

I meant, I also had no idea about the full concept of this creature even though I was the author but just as in games, they were spawned once every a while.

Golden Goblin only had a 7 days lifespan. They were born immediately the moment the goblin champion rose to the throne.

Looking at the situation of the hideout, I guessed that the goblin king was rising to the throne not long ago. Probably a day or two days ago.

Carefully watching them from afar, I thought up a plan on the spot.

'Barging in alone there is a stupid move, even a 5-year-old kid knows that…'

I was like… wait, what was my stats look like again?

'Oh. Only my Charisma is increasing after the midterm.'

Anyway, with these stats, it was now clear that I couldn't just barge inside the goblin's hideout like the main character was supposed to do.

It was not like I was a coward or anything. I just thinking rationally and logically, I cared about my life, man… 

Not to mention how strong might be that new goblin king was.

Using my Clairvoyance, I scanned the goblin king and his information appeared in my vision.

[Goblin King

Race: Monster / Goblin

Rank: D+]

Yep! I would die in one hit if I was to fight him.

Anyway, killing a Golden Goblin would give me a 24-hour time of luck blessing.

As they only lived for a week, I couldn't raise them as a pet.

Other than its short lifespan, Golden Goblin was a very arrogant creature. It wasn't worth my time to tame it. It would be faster to just kill it and exploit the luck buff.

To the goblin's eyes, Golden Goblin was considered a highly respected creature. Because of its golden skin, it was considered an emissary of God and highly guarded by the goblins.

So, despite its low rank and abilities, it would be hard to kill it if I couldn't breach the goblins guarding it.

The only way I could do was to sneak in and kill the Golden Goblin as fast as possible.

Taking out a bottle of white, transparent liquid water, I drank it in one gulp and threw the empty invisibility potion I bought in the wizard shop along with other potions on my way here.

Taking a deep breath, I felt a strange sensation coursing through my veins as the potion worked its magic.

It started with a subtle shimmer, like the gentle rippling of water under a pale moonlight. As I looked down at my hands, I could see the transparency gradually spreading from my fingertips, enveloping my entire body in an ethereal glow.

'Wow…'

The transformation was mesmerizing yet surreal.

With each passing moment, the color and contours of my body began to fade, blending seamlessly into the surroundings. It was as if I was becoming a vessel of light like I had experienced in the memory back then when I got my Clairvoyance Level 3.

But this time, even as my body turned invisible, I could still feel the warmth of my own skin, the weight of my body, the beat of my heart, and the rhythm of my breath.

'...good. Now…'

As I moved, my footsteps left no trace, and the air seemed to part effortlessly around me.

'As expected of a high-ranking invisibility potion.'

I carefully made my way toward the goblin's hideout.

Stealthily navigating through the goblin-infested territory, I used my Clairvoyance periodically to scout and gather information about the hideout in case I failed to assassinate the Golden Goblin.

As I approached the big tent, probably the main chamber where the goblin king was supposed to live in, I stopped for a while.

'That goblin is inside this tent.'

Gathering my courage, I stepped inside the tent. Amazingly, no one noticed when I swiftly through the tent's curtain that served as a door.

'So far so good.'

Inside the tent was spacious because it had less furniture placed inside. I even immediately found the Golden Goblin relaxing on top of hay that was supposed to be a sleeping chamber.

The goblin guards surrounded the Golden Goblin.

Assessing the situation and identifying the weakest points in their defenses, I found a small gap that I could exploit.

Timing would be crucial to execute my strategy successfully.

With a deep breath to steady my nerves, I moved forward, careful not to touch anything that would produce a sound.

Talking about producing sound. Other than not leaving a trace, I also didn't make any sound while in my invisibility state.

Though I must hurry, I could feel the effect would wear off soon.

My objective was clear—to swiftly kill the Golden Goblin and claim the luck blessing it held.

Taking advantage of my invisibility, I slipped through the guard's defense and approached the small creature.

The creature had a wide grin as it was sleeping on the haystack, not knowing its life would end soon.

'Yeah. Have a sweet dream, buddy.'

With a swift strike, I ended the life of the Golden Goblin quickly in its sleep, not having a chance to react or so whatever. I also made sure that the assassination was done as quietly as possible so the guard wouldn't notice.

As the Golden Goblin fell lifeless in its sleep, I felt a surge of energy and luck coursing through me.

Ding—!
