This'll be a short one, and it's only happening because I realized all my others novels are either 1) smut books or 2) on a smut chapter, so...

Since I'm writing while watching the football games with family, I can't really start writing smut while in the same room...

So yeah, happy second chapter to today, even if it's a shorter one lol~

"Oh I'm going to have SO much fun with you~!"

The Goblins beady eyes were shaking as it stared at me, it's high pitched chittering making my heart race with euphoric glee.

My warm, gentle smile dropped for a second, and was replaced by something more twisted.

Seeing that, the Goblin desperately tried to escape from the ice shackles, squealing in horror as I tilted my head.

"Aw~ Come now Mister Goblin~! I need your help; why're you so scared? It's not like I'm going to..."

Grabbing the Goblins wrist, I snapped the thin bone with ease, relishing in the agonized scream that escaped its thin lips.

"Torture you or anything~! I'm just healing you from all these... unfortunate accidents that keep happening to you~! You should be grateful!"

My smile returned to its previous warmth, and I gently laid my hand on its now shattered wrist.

The cracking of the bones as they were mended back together was loud, and with each snap the Goblin shrieked, only to fall silent as it passed out.

However, much to its horror, I woke it back up soon after, wanting to be... rewarded for my 'good deeds'.

Sweat coated the red skinned Goblins body, and I could smell the stench from it body, making me crinkle my nose in disgust.

Washing the thing off quickly, I nodded at its clean appearance, before looking over its body, wondering where the next 'accident' would occur.

I could heal broken bones, shattered bones, cuts and scrapes...

What else could I heal?

Would a punctured organ be the next step up in wounds?

Pursing my lips, I wondered if a Goblins anatomy was similar to a normal human...

Before frowning as I wondered if my organs were similar to a normal human; I think they are...

But what about other races, like Lamias?

My frown deepened, before I just shrugged; I'd learn eventually...

Starting with my first, extremely willing volunteer, Mister Goblin!

Taking up my dagger, I placed the tip against its chest, before slowly sinking the blade into the monsters flesh.

As the steel blade cut into its flesh, the Goblin let out shrill screams, shuddering as it grew closer to death.

Gauging the depth of the blade, as well as noticing the Goblin cough out a little blood, I took that as a sign that it had a punctured lung.

I couldn't be sure; not yet, but when I healed it I could tell 'what' I had healed, so I would know in a few moments...

Removing the dagger, I was transfixed by the gushing blood that seeped from the wound, remaining motionless as I watched the pool of blood that formed below the Goblins body.

Licking my lips, I felt a rush of pleasure flood my body at that sight, before jolting back 'awake' as the Goblin started convulsing.

"Nuh-uh~! Not yet..."

Placing my hands on the Goblins wounds, I let my mana pour into the Goblins wounded body, stimulating the growth and healing of the flesh it touched.

I also felt my mana enter the Goblins lung, draining the blood from its interior before closing the slitted tissues.

Grinning slightly, I then watched as the entry wound was healed as well, but...

Tapping the Goblins unconscious face, I frowned in annoyance as I realized that I was, apparently, incapable of replacing, or stimulating the growth of, blood, meaning the Goblin was suffering from the effects of blood loss...

And mental trauma...

Sighing, my frown deepened further as the Goblin remained unresponsive after being slapped twice.

"Well... fine... guess I'll continue on alone..."

Annoyed that I was now deprived of the wondrous sound of the Goblins tortured screams, I set about to more experiments, like...

Slicing off large chunks of flesh, which let me know that I was capable of, with enough mana, regrowing missing flesh.

However, it was only flesh; when I removed a finger, skin grew over the exposed muscle and bone, meaning that, as of now, I was incapable of regrowing limbs.

Out of curiosity, I removed one of the Goblins fangs, which let me know that I was potentially close to being able to regrow bone, as the fang grew back.

The same occurred when I removed a claw, wondering if I could regrow those as well.

I could.

Besides that, I then tried the same thing with an ear, which was a partial success; the entire thing didn't grow back, but after a cursory scan I was able to determine everything it needed to hear was in place.

Then I tried to regrow an eye, but sadly I was also incapable of that, meaning Mister Goblin was down a finger and eyeball.

Flicking the fleshy orb away, I began my work anew; this time, I wanted quantity of wounds over the quality of them.

Scoring multiple deep gashes on the Goblins body, I then broke a few fingers and toes, and tore out another claw.

Laying before me was a horrifying looking 'corpse', though the rapid rising and falling of its chest and the beating of its heart belied that idea.

Tracing the runes for my healing spell again, I watched as most of the cuts closed up, however only a few of the bones mended back together, and the claw grew halfway back to normal.

Frowning, I poured a little more mana into the spell, watching in fascination as everything grew back and snapped into place.

However, moments later the Goblins heart stopped, likely from the combination of repeated trauma, blood loss, and more...

Sighing, I stared over the Goblins corpse before clasping my hands together in mock prayer, muttering "Thank you for your help Mister Goblin... may your soul rest in pieces..."

Getting up, I then turned my attention to the system notification, letting me know that a skill had advanced.

[Skill: [Healing (Adept)] -> [Healing (Expert]]

[[Healing (Expert): Healing Spells are much more potent, and require less mana; additionally, when (1/3rd) of Hosts total mana is pooled into a single healing spell, there is a chance for a full recovery]

Reading the [Healing (Expert)] skills new additional perk, which made me rather excited.

Now I was tempted to attempt this on a new, completely willing subject...

"You done Kat? Huh... seems more... whole than I thought it'd be..."

Glancing over my shoulder, I saw Jahi and the others walking back, their bodies speckled with splotches of blood.

Leone was panting, Jahi's extra sword in her hand.

However, when they saw my normally pale skin stained crimson, they all blinked before shrugging.

"What? I just wanted to practice my healing..."

"By torturing a Goblin?"

Hearing Jahi's exasperated tone, I chuckled before asking "Would you prefer I go hunting for a mortal?"

The Demoness sighed as she shook her head, before gesturing towards the expansive plains around us.

"Come on Murder Puppy... we got some Coal Serpents to hunt."

---

I want Kat's power ups to be exponential, meaning that, for now, while she is 'strong', she isn't OP MC 'will utterly decimate the world with a sneeze' strong.

Which is why things like the [Healer] skill will continue to grow more and more broken...

Resurrection anyone?

Blanket healing an entire Empire perhaps?

Sounds rather fun, no?

Anyways, yeah, that'd be a long, long ways away, but for now, we have a lovable, blood soaked puppy who is just that; a 'puppy' compared to the Demoness and mysterious Empress...
