Crossbows were a bit louder than bows. Even so, since they only made a sound for a fraction of a second, Ryan killed nine of the ten goblins without waking up any of them.
You obtained four coins.

Ryan had a hard time convincing himself that he just obtained forty coins without doing anything crazy. However, given his light-headiness, he actually had to pay the price. His mana was almost empty.
"Crossbows are convenient, but everything has a price…" Ryan muttered while he was preparing to kill the last goblin.
After concentrating for a second, Ryan felt his stamina being drained. Power Shot could actually be used with that kind of weapon, it was surprising, but Ryan wouldn't complain since it was convenient for him.
In any case, after firing the tenth dark, Ryan regretted it a little. His attack destroyed the goblin's head, and that wasn't a good sight for him… even though Ryan had killed dozens of animals while hunting before, he trained to do so in order to avoid making them feel unnecessary pain and make the hunt needlessly bloody.
"I need to train Power Shot, but I guess I will do it by using the wooden bow," Ryan muttered while he looked for drops.
Goblins and all the other monsters were the enemies of the human race, at least for the time being. They were at war, so there was no point in feeling depressed over the enemy's death. However, Ryan was a hunter, not a soldier. So, even though he obtained the power to fight monsters, it would take a while for him to get used to causing overkills.
In any case, that group of goblins didn't drop anything. However, they had three rustic knives, so Ryan stored them in his backpack. After that, he began to meditate in order to restore his mana. Even if he had a powerful weapon, without mana and stamina, Ryan was essentially useless against monsters, after all.
Congratulations! The skill Meditation has leveled up.
Meditation Lv 2 ➞ Lv 3
Effect: Restores three points of mana per minute.
You obtained 01 status point.
"I wonder if there is a way to restore stamina faster like this…" Ryan rubbed his chin. "It is not like sleeping can become a skill… right?"
It would be too weird if that were the case. Then again, everything that was happening to Earth was weird. So, one or two more crazy things happening wouldn't surprise Ryan or everyone else. In any case, after his mana was full again, Ryan returned to the intersection and followed the path on the right since he could some signs of goblins' footsteps there.
This time he found a group in which one of the goblins was awake and watching the surroundings. The creature had enough time to wake up the rest of the group with its grunts before Ryan finally could see them with his eyes, so he didn't have much choice but to fight them while eight goblins were running toward him.
