Transported to a magical realm, Gauss obtains a mysterious adventurer's handbook that strengthens him with every monster vanquished and documented. He envisioned himself as a legendary hero—slaying dragons, defeating demons, liberating kingdoms from darkness. Reality proves far different. Gauss finds himself trapped in an endless cycle of goblin extermination. These vermin multiply relentlessly, their numbers seemingly infinite. Each goblin defeated feeds his compendium and multiplies his despair. [You have slain 1,000 goblins! Intelligence +1, Strength +1, Constitution +1.] [Title 『Goblin Butcher』 upgraded to 『Goblin Specialist』—mastery of goblin eradication defines your expertise. None understand goblin elimination as profoundly as you.] "…" [Title 『Goblin Specialist』 upgraded to 『Goblin Nemesis』—history trembles before you, the goblin race's supreme terror. Your name echoes through their very bloodline as pure dread.] [Current Effects: Effect 1: Nemesis. Inflicts 50% increased damage against all goblins. Effect 2: Bloodthirst. Defeating goblins occasionally restores 10% of stamina reserves. Effect 3: Intimidation. Goblins and their mutated variants cower in absolute submission, their strength shattered by your mere presence.] With each evolution his status panel displays, Gauss confronts an agonizing truth— Can he ever reclaim his true legacy from the shadow of all those legendary accomplishments: "Dungeon Conqueror," "Redscale Bane," "Phase Hunter," "Pale Monarch," and "Scourge of Tiamat"? Will the world ever know him as anything but… Goblin Slayer?
