The Goblin'S Leveling System
Chapter 19: Triggering The Mechanism, Teleported? Whither?

Zale and I went to Aerin's room, knocked on the door, and called out to her;

“Aerin! There is urgent business!”, I shouted while knocking on the door.

A minute had passed before Aerin replied to us. He was sleeping so it took him a minute to respond to us. He came out of his room. She wore her night-sleeping clothes and blond hair along her waist was disheveled.

He slept comfortably as he complained to Zale and I didn't bother him while he was sleeping.. I don't mind him complaining and just getting rid of his complaints. I told him about the mysterious cave in Dragon Mountain.

Aerin said that he was willing to join us on our expedition so that we did not waste our time and we headed to the mysterious cave on Dragon Mountain.

I threw [Gate] and a door made of bright white light appeared. We entered the door and we were teleported to the inside of the cave.

I use [Gate] so that we do not have to worry and drain our energy in climbing the mountain to reach the cave in this Dragon Mountain.

After we were teleported into the mysterious cave in Dragon Mountain, we were unable to see anything as there was no light source inside the cave.

I threw the [Light Orb] and some lights with ball shape appeared above me and started orbiting around the top of my head.

We can now see the inside of the cave so we headed to find the mechanism I discovered on my last visit to the cave.

After 2 minutes of searching for the mechanism, we finally found it. The magic circle can be seen on the floor which looks like something used in worship rituals.

The mana ball can be seen above the magic circle that requires mana to trigger the mechanism, activating the mana circle. I transfer my mana to the mechanism that activates the magic circle.

The magic circle began to glow with a blue light that illuminated the entire interior of the cave. We stepped on the magic circle and we were teleported to a place I had never even read in some journals written by the highest archmage.

I looked around us and I found a lot of giant trees that were at least 50 times bigger than me.

We are currently beside a tree and even grass is 5 times taller than me. It feels like we have shrunk or where we are usually fifty times the size of us.

If I'm not mistaken then this place should be where giants inhabit this place.

Even though we still haven't found it yet, it doesn't mean there isn't one in this world because this world is a world of magic and swords.

I wouldn't even be surprised if God would appear in front of us. But that being said, the chances of that happening were extremely low.

I use wind magic to navigate the environment by sending the wind towards it and returning the wind to myself again so that I will have a vision of where the wind has gone.

I call this magic skill [Wind Navigation]. I discovered this magic skill but I am not sure if someone has found it myself but at least I can go to an unknown place without fear of the unknown.

"Why is our environment bigger than ours?", Zale asked.

"This is weird. I've never experienced anything like this before" Aerin replied.

"It is the right choice for me to ask you to accompany us so that we can hasten our observation in this undiscovered place" I said to Zale and Aerin.

"I can use my magic to protect us from any threat so you don't have to worry about death. I rarely lose mana and I have a very large Stat of Wisdom so I can send magic spam anytime.", I added.

We continued heading in a straight direction for about an hour. By looking at the direction in which the shadow of the tree is located, I can conclude that we are heading south.

Every 5 minutes, I touch the ground and leave a trail of my mana on it so I can use the system map to find where I left the trail where I was avoiding us walking around in circles.

We're heading everywhere. We don't even know where we're headed!

Any place that will take us is our goal.

Zale, Aerin, and I kept walking around looking for the nearest settlement or village so we could rest.

I can create a shelter using natural magic by making wood that is molded into a house but better looking for living things.

What makes this place even stranger is that we have never met any living thing except plants and bacteria.

We continued walking for 5 hours while I continued to use [Restoration] to heal our fatigue and recover our stamina.

We felt a chill as every minute passed, but thanks to [Environmental Adaptation], I adapted to every environment even if I was in the sun.

I can handle any temperature but I forgot that the [Environment Adjustment] skill changed my body to allow my body to adapt to a certain environment.

So if I go to the sun then my skin will metamorphose into something that can gain fire immunity ability.

And if I was underwater then my lungs would turn into gills so I could breathe underwater.

The only bad news was that Zale and Aerin did not have [Environmental Adaptation] so they shivered while walking and their body temperature even dropped.

The only way to solve this problem is to create new fire skills. Something that generates heat and the amount of heat it releases must be controllable.

The only thing I can think of that gives off heat is... The sun!

I gathered the mana in my hand and manipulated it to turn into fire. I condensed the fire into a huge fireball while pouring all my mana into it.

My mana kept decreasing and the amount of mana I spent every second was 1 million but because my mana regeneration was much higher than that so I was not affected by it.

I continued to condense the fireball until it reached the temperature of the sun. I lifted the ball up into the sky.

*dings!*

* Host has discovered a new skill. The name of the skill will be determined by the host.*

'I'll name it Artificial Sun'

*House master has named the Artificial Sun skill. The system reviews skills as a Mythical Rank.*

*dings!*

*Home master has obtained a title known as Fireball Maniac. The effect of the title is to double the damage of any skill that is a fireball.*

'I can't argue with the system because the system isn't wrong about it. After observing the system, I can say that it never lies and never goes wrong. This system is the embodiment of A.I.perfection.'

I threw the [Artificial Sun] and an enormous fireball appeared in the sky, giving us heat. My mana is constantly diminishing but at least my mana is used well.

The [Environmental Adaptation] skill was cancelled because my body did not need to adapt to the current environment.

"Is that your new skill? You keep surprising me every time we meet!", Zale asked.

"He's my fiance! He never let those around him stop being amazed!", Aerin boasted to Zale.

"I wish I had one-tenth of her talent ..", Zale mused.

"You don't have to feel depressed. Everyone wants to be as talented as I am but they never achieve it so it is best to give up on the idea and be yourself. You already have 1 percent of my talent so you should feel good about it.", I comfort Zale.

'I don't know how to cheer someone up but is this the right way to cheer someone up? Not that if I have a high IQ then I also have a high EQ. Having a high EQ is like the hardest thing to achieve than increasing IQ.'

"You don't have to comfort me! I will surpass you in the future!", exclaimed Zale.

Zale seemed to feel better than before after I comforted him so it seemed like my EQ was increasing!

Who says geniuses have low EQ? They must have been wrong because I had an average EQ.

As the sky grew darker, the moon shone in the sky while the stars twinkled.

Since it was night time, I decided to camp at night.

"It's late so we have to camp here and continue the journey during the day."
