My inventory is full of monster materials.

Golan Forest.

The towering trees cast dappled sunlight, and the air was filled with the scent of decaying leaves and damp earth, as well as a faint smell of blood.

"Huff~ Huff~"

As if waking from a dream, Mark leaned against the tree trunk, panting heavily.

As he looked ahead, he saw a small green figure with a severed arm lying in a pool of dried blood.

With a round head, thin limbs, and dark green skin, it looks like a green-skinned version of "Gollum" from "The Lord of the Rings".

"This is a goblin? Uh oh..."

Suddenly, Mark felt a splitting headache as two memories in his head—that of a medical student studying in the US and a lone young hunter—became intertwined, merged, and reshaped.

This is a fantastical world of swords and magic.

Fifteen-year-old hunter "Mark" stumbled into the Golan Forest while chasing a hare, only to be startled to death by a goblin corpse that suddenly appeared around a corner!

After a while, the memory subsided, and a phantom light screen popped up before my eyes.

Mark took a closer look.

This is just like the game panel I use when I play games!

It turns out that Mark felt nauseous after finishing a "big shipment" last night—he picked out the fattest grain from a pile of rice that seemed to be dancing to disco.

In an effort to restore SAN values, Mark stayed up all night playing games... and then suddenly died.

When you travel to another world, you should also bring along your [character panel].

He really loves playing games!

Mark took a deep breath to calm himself and re-examined the information on the panel.

The character panel is divided into two parts, left and right.

The right side contains various data.

Most notably, there are 4 new points of Intelligence.

Each point of attribute reflects a change of approximately 20% in the real world.

Adding 4 points to Intelligence is equivalent to doubling your thinking, logic, and memory.

This is very likely caused by the fusion of two souls.

The left side is the equipment slot.

The character's head, body, and limbs all have blank spaces, which are undoubtedly used to place equipment, but the title "Monster" seems very suspicious.

Mark lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then went straight to the goblin's corpse and picked up a severed limb.

[The goblin's missing right hand (white)]

Completeness: 54%

[Effect]: Some finger functions are disabled.

[Special]: None

[Detected "Broken Goblin Right Hand (White)" - Equip/Disable?]

Mark's brows furrowed even more deeply now.

The equipment slots are for storing weapons, armor, accessories, etc.

How did it become monster placement material?

Should we equip it?

But what if my arm turns into something like a goblin's?

After much thought, Mark decided to give it a try.

After all, you can equip it and then uninstall it.

Mark silently recited it in his mind.

【equipment】

The goblin's right hand vanished into thin air.

A shrunken green hand appears in the "Right Hand" slot of the equipment panel.

In reality, Mark's right hand did not show any visible changes.

But before he could even catch his breath...

Mark discovered that he couldn't feel his ring and little fingers.

He tried to move his fingers but there was still no response.

So he stared at the "Right Hand" slot in the equipment bar and silently recited.

【uninstall】

The goblin's right hand appeared out of thin air and fell to the ground.

Mark wiggled his fingers again.

Sure enough, my ring and little fingers are working normally again.

"I see."

Mark finally understood.

By placing monster materials into the corresponding equipment slots, you can gain various buffs.

The goblin right hand was probably too incomplete, so equipping it only had negative effects.

If it were more complete...

Mark looked at the goblin corpse, a look of eager anticipation on his face.

In American police morgues, he dissected and assembled all sorts of Gundams, including those of Asian, Caucasian, Black, Brown, Red, and Rainbow races... but he never tried assembling a "Green" Gundam.

I have to try it today.

Mark drew the skinning knife from his waist, the blade twirling skillfully between his fingers. He then knelt beside the goblin corpse, his face serious as he reached out to find the right spot to cut.

The skin, covered with warts and hard scabs, was coated with a layer of yellowish-green stickiness and emitted a pungent odor like that of dead rats.

Mark rubbed the sticky substance between his index finger and thumb, then nodded seriously.

"If I wasn't mistaken, it's real shit. Why are these goblins smearing feces all over themselves? Is it purely because they're filthy, or is it a stench-filled disguise to prevent their kind from being forced to eat cream puffs?"

After pondering for a while without finding an answer, Mark put aside these random thoughts and focused solely on the goblin corpse before him, carefully and slowly slicing open the green hide with his knife...

Although this was his first time dissecting a creature from another world, the humanoid monster's body structure had some similarities to that of humans, so the goblin's corpse was quickly dismembered.

This was followed by a series of message notifications.

["Mutilated Goblin Head (White)" detected. Equip/Disable?]

["Mutilated Goblin Torso (White)" detected. Equip/Disable?]

...

After ten minutes of hands-on practice.

Mark sighed and put down the smelly knife, then grabbed a handful of dry sand from the ground and rubbed it to wash his hands.

The dissection was not successful.

The goblin's corpse on the ground was mangled, with some limbs twisted and broken off.

Mark was somewhat helpless about this.

"It seems I was just assuming things. Monsters are different from humans after all. I'll just treat this as an opportunity to gain experience in dissection. Fortunately, I still gained something in the end."

Mark now has a relatively intact, thin, green hand.

[The nimble goblin left hand (white)]

Completeness: 86%

[Effect]: Hand speed +11%

[Special]: None

"equipment."

In an instant, Mark's left hand became a little lighter and his movements became more agile.

This change only made him polish the gun until it shone even brighter.

But in the end, they've become stronger.

Composing himself, Mark turned around and picked up his leftover crossbow, preparing to explore other parts of the forest.

Just then, a gentle breeze blew by.

A strong, pungent smell of blood filled the air.

A thought flashed through Mark's mind, and he abruptly stopped, turning his head to stare intently at the upwind side.

Oh right, how could he forget that detail?

Goblins are naturally timid and cowardly, and they usually go out in groups.

There must be traces of other goblins near this goblin corpse.

With his thoughts running high, Mark took a deep breath and made up his mind to go and investigate. If he encountered any danger, he would run away immediately.

He began to lower his body and slow his pace, quietly following the scent of blood.

When they parted a patch of low shrubs and grass, a horrific scene unfolded before their eyes.

Numerous goblin limbs and torsos were scattered across the ground, and dark red-black blood soaked every inch of soil. Buzzing swarms of flies were busily enjoying the feast.

Suddenly, Mark felt an overwhelming surge of excitement.

His occupational hazard kicked in again!

So many goblin corpses, so many equipment parts—

I'm going to attack as a goblin!
