A Goblin's Leveling System

I cast [Nature Manipulation] to construct houses made out of wood, dirt, grass, and stones.

I made the houses simple like a hut or something and after that, I constructed a bed so that we can take a rest and sleep.

You must be thinking why I didn't use [Gate] to teleport to Sweet Pork Inn and spend our night there?

The reason is that I can't!

[5 Minutes Before...]

"It's getting late so we should camp here and continue our journey when it is daytime."

"I think we should just spend our night at Sweet Pork Inn. It's much cheaper and has good food than hunting here and eating wild berries!", Zale exclaims.

"I agree. It is okay for a royalty like myself to spend the night here but I prefer to spend my time in luxury so I agree with Zale.", Aerin agrees with Zale.

"Why didn't I think of that!", I exclaim.

I cast [Gate] and a white door made out of bright white light appeared.

We opened the door and entered it.

Instead of being teleported to Sweet Pork Inn, we were teleported into the same place.

We were back in this freaking gigantic forest!

"Looks like this place restricts space magic.", Zale says.

'You don't have to say that to us. We already have understood the situation!', I think to myself while crying deep inside.

'The situation is becoming a pain in the ass! Good thing that I brought Zale and Aerin or I would have felt lonely being trapped in this forest.'

After several minutes of casting [Gate] and other space-related spells, we gave up and submitted to our fate of being trapped in here.

[Back to the present time...]

I hate this! I was planning on spending the night at Sweet Pork Inn so that I can cook some dragon meat cuisines but I don't have any cooking tools and not to mention some seasonings.

'How can someone live without salt and soy sauce!'

Looks like we are back to eating wild berries...

What if the system has a forging skill in the system shop?

'System, are there any forging skill available in the system shop?'

*There are and the common rank forge skill cost a hundred system coins.*

My system coins are enough to pay for the common rank forge skill.

'I will buy it! Do I get any discount?'

*No.*

'The system is stingy as always.'

*A hundred system coins have been deducted by the system from the host's inventory. The common rank forge skill is being delivered into the host's inventory...*

*Ding!*

*The host has learned a new skill! Forge skill has been acquired!*

I used the sub-skill of [Earth Manipulation] which is [Ore Detection] to detect nearby ores and to my surprise, the ground below us has a lot of ores such as gold, iron, copper, tin, etc.

I used the sub-skill of [Nature Manipulation] which is [Wood Manipulation] to turn a piece of wood into a wooden pickaxe.

I held the wooden pickaxe on both of my hands and struck the ground with all my might.
