Villain of my own novel

SPLASH

"Hm? I'm alive?" Jiwoo mumbled in disbelief.

Jiwoo was flopped on the muddy water near a cave entrance after a 3-meter drop.

The cave was 2.5 metres tall and 14 feet wide, with almost no light inside. The cave gave off a very eerie feeling, with very low growls heard from the inside.

SPLASH

"Heiikk." Jiwoo yelped in surprise as a sudden splash drenched him from head to toe.

"Goddamn..." He mumbled and walked in with his katana unsheathed.

He walked into the cave until the entrance was the size of his fist, and his eyes adjusted to the darkness. He took another potion from his pocket near his hip; it was a light neon-coloured liquid in a volumetric flask.

'a night vision potion...' he thought and gulped down the potion.

His eyes glowed neon from the potion's effects, and he could now see his surroundings more clearly. At the end of the pathway, there were three way forked roads with coloured boards bolted above them in light green, green, and bright green.

"According to the novel's information, those boards indicate monster strength ranges... with infant, child, and kid levels..... Eshwar, your ranking selection su*ks!" He mumbled and walked into the bright green cave entrance.

"I have to be careful of the monsters because even if his ranking and naming sense su*ks, monsters are still a bit strong..." he mumbled.

"Kekeke... Krru..krik..krerire.. kekeke." A weird voices and laughter was heard which Jiwoo instantly recognized them to be goblins.

They were meter-long dark green monsters who hunted in packs. Because of their almost human-like appearance, many heroes are hesitant to strike them, resulting in their deaths.

"Huu.." he gripped the katana and dashed forward.

"Kriii!" a goblin which seemed to be a pack leader screeched, pointing at Jiwoo.

"Come!" Jiwoo exclaimed as he dashed at them.

'Now that they are clearly visible.... There seems to around ten of them...' He counted the goblins and began to imagine all of the possible attack patterns as well as the possibility of his death.

All goblins dashed at Jiwoo, two in the middle, three on each side, and two behind them who appeared to be ready to jump the moment they engaged.

Jiwoo smirked at the goblins, moved to his left, increased his speed by a notch, and slashed horizontally, killing the monsters in front and to his right, and instantly splitting five goblins in half.

THUD (5x)

He took advantage of their surprise to attack the ones in the back, turned his body right to face the right wall, leaned back, aimed his katana at the two goblins who were standing back to back, and pierced both of their heads with a single thrust, like skewers.

WHOOSH

SWISH

He drew back his katana, held it loosely to make a curved downward motion, held it in reverse with blade behind him, and turned around to face the three goblins who were still dazed. He leaned forward and dashed at them, taking advantage of their lack of mobility to sever their necks.

SPLURT (3x)

"Hooo.." he breathed out as the three goblins behind him wiggled and tumbled around as tears flowed down from their eyes.

".... I'm glad that I bought potions from a high rated account..... They're all of good quality.." Jiwoo mumbled as the as the goblins behind him died.

"I better finish this before I run out of the potions..." he said and walked in to the cave.

The deeper he went into the cave, the more goblins he discovered. He suddenly recalled his previous thoughts.

'I only know that according to the novel, Vinny was not supposed to be higher ranked than a rank-S because his limit is that of a rank-S. He has somehow regressed and is now stronger than he was supposed to be.' He thought.

He slashed down another four goblins in the middle of his train of thought and found the cave or trail to be very annoying because he couldn't completely slash down on them nor could he do a complete horizontal slash due to the limited space.

'And, Eshwar somehow knew that, so if I consider that the author who wrote the story is here in it....'

'And, Eshwar's said that something was happening which he didn't write.....'

'If I consider that I, too, am a character he wrote..... then it's too cruel to abandon a person into another place or world as he did, without anything or anyone to rely on.'

'I have no parents nor a guardian.... not that I needed it... if he made me so that I can live without relying on anyone... I guess me being a character will not be that surprising....'

'I guess I, too, am a part of his creation, looking at all the people around having their own life, me being one with them isn't that .....'

"Hahaha.... F**k!" he cursed as he laughed bitterly.

*

He was sweating profusely and his breathing was laboured as the potion effects wore off and his body ached, warning him that if he moved any more, it would break. He found an open space to rest for a while and checked the system notification of the reduction in the number of living.

[Number of living lowered by the user: 205.]

"So I've hunter about 140 goblins huh..." he mumbled.

He rested until his sweating and breathing returned to normal, then resumed his activity. He arrived at a double door about 2 metres tall, with a goblin-like face wearing a crown with various types of feathers in it.

WOOONGG

He pushed the door open and found himself in a 3 metre long and 50-foot-wide space. At the far end of the room stood a goblin about the size of a normal human, his face identical to the one on the door, and he held a staff as long as him, so Jiwoo assumed him to be a goblin mage. There were 25 lightly armed goblins in front of him.

The horde in front of him didn't scare him as much as the thought that he might not be a 'real' person did. He took out orange and light neon potions, gulped them down in one go, and charged at the goblin horde.

'He must have created me as an 'Extra' and after hearing Vinny's explanation, I may have become a main character in my past life trying to survive among the original main characters, like one's I have read...'

'.... 'read' may not be a right word, more like added or acted according to the author's wishes.....' he thought, depressed from the thoughts as they connected the dots he wanted.

"Let's keep 'added' for now..." he mumbled after slashing down 10 more goblins.

'from my added memories, I might have been an extra who became a main character trying to survive among them, like from the stories I have in my added memories... ' he thought after dealing a final blow to the goblin mage boss.
