The World seems Realistic but Why do I have a Leveling System?

Sheila dashes forward and swings her knife when she reaches approximately close to the goblin, but it deflected her attacks by putting the club in the front. She was not surprised by it and immediately afterward, sent out a kick to the goblin's belly.

"Gugaa!"

The goblin howled painfully from her kick as it was sent flying a couple of feet away from her. Sheila chases after it in a beat and swing her knife and managed to leave a cut in its belly as blood splattered to the ground. The goblin shriek in pain as it swings the club around it in madness. Sheila agilely avoids getting hit as she paces back and forth.

The goblin that was wildly swinging its club around gets even more angry as it saw the human female managed to dodge the strike agilely. When the club was about to hit her, she managed to avoid it in hair breath at the last second. The goblin roared when it saw such a scene happening over and over before it runs straight at her and readies the club to be swing at any moment.

Sheila, seeing the goblin coming at her immediately flees back. The goblin saw her reaction and thought that it managed to scare her with its wild charge, which makes it regain its confidence back. It continues on its wild charge, following right behind her. It wasn't long until it noticed that the human female breath becomes heavier and her running seems sluggish.

"Guga!"

The goblin roared as it quickly catches up to the tired human female. The female looks so scared as she was trembling nonstop, the idiot goblin grinned. At first, it thought of beating the human female before it could 'use' her but now, it doesn't seem to be a need for that. Its hand reaches to the trembling female, but before it could touch her, the blood-splattered to the ground.

"Guga!"

It howled in pain as the knife embeds deep into its heart. It looked at the human female who has been trembling is now looking at it with her cold eyes. That was the last thing it sees before the light from its eyes fade. Sheila managed to trick the idiot goblin with her acting.

『 You have killed the Goblin LV. 6! 』

Sheila was about to take a short break when she heard footsteps running ahead of her. It was the two goblins who have heard its comrade yelling and coming to help. But the two were late by a tiny hair breath. Sheila picked up the knife that was embedded deep in the goblin's body and ready herself for the second round.

"Guga!" "Guga!"

Sheila gripped the handle of the knife tightly in her hands. Could she handle both of the goblins in front of her by herself? She has definitely grown strong, stronger than the goblin she had first met. She had a feeling that she could beat the two, but her sixth sense warned her, which means that she would likely get hurt in the fights.

The two goblins dash straight at her and the club which was already in the air swung at her, but she has already left the spot. She agilely moved at the center of the two to get behind one of them and slash at the goblin's back. The goblin growl in response, and for the first time, Sheila was surprised as she was kicked in the stomach and flew to the wall.

"Guh!"

It hurts! Sheila shouted painfully in her mind. She was about to send another slash, but before she could, the goblin has already kicked her away. She immediately stabilized herself and jumped to the side, apart from the goblins before taking out a health potion and drink it. Soon, she stopped feeling the pain in her stomach and throw the empty health potion at the goblins.

The empty health potion precisely arrived in the goblin face as the glass shattered and embedded deeply into its face. It painfully roared before rushing wildly at her. But before it could, it saw a bright light ahead and was engulfed by it.

"Ha... Haa.. it works..."

『 You have killed the Goblin LV. 6! 』

『 You have acquired the skill: Flame Magic LV. 1! 』

『 Flame Magic Lv.1

—Fireball 』

...

After throwing the empty potion to the goblin, Sheila had a thought and decided to act on it. She feels the mana inside of her body with Mana Sense skill and then try to control the mana and makes it flow through her body and stopped it in front of her hand. Even though most of the mana spread to the surrounding, there were still some that stays. She closed her eyes and imagined the mana turning into a ball of flame in her mind. When she could feel the heat in her hands, she immediately sent the blue-colored ball of flame flew straight toward the goblin who was about to rush at her.

When the goblin died from her magic attacks, Sheila let out a relieved sigh from her mouth. But she was not done yet as there is still one goblin alive ahead. She immediately launches herself at the goblin who was frozen shocked by her sudden fireball and stabbed right in the heart.

『 You have killed the Goblin LV. 6! 』

"Fuh~ Thankfully, the magic works."

At first, she had wanted to try out like how she did where she gained a night vision skill. But she had thought she would fail for the first try, but in the end, it works out. Perhaps, due to adrenaline rush, she was able to do it. Either way, now that she has the flame magic, she wasn't worried anymore about completing the quest. And finally, She could use magic!

It's magic, you know? The infamous newbie magic called fireball at that! In a realistic world, there's no way you could conjure actual spell such as a fireball. She had not heard or seen any news about someone using 'supernatural' power after all. No, perhaps such people may exist, albeit little.

Although the world was filled with realistic elements, there were also mana, a force of supernatural in the surrounding. Maybe because of mana influence that there exist supernatural being such as ghost, demon and the likes. She never met any of them in her life, but she had heard myth and a lot of legends about it.

Some myth or legend in history might have been quite close to the whole truth. Suddenly Sheila had a thought, what if the tale about demons was actually a monster like a goblin she had met? She immediately feels a chill running through her body. No way!
