The forest entrance was bustling as yesterday, the locals seemed to be accustomed to sending kids to train with the bunnies along with some responsible adults to stop any kid from going further inside the forest. But no responsible adult stopped me.
It didn’t take long to find a goblin, I don't know how all this monster spawning works and after listening around at the inn I'm not the only one. If all this Chaos Monarch thing doesn't work out maybe i can occupy my time researching, i'm quite curious about many things. One thing I found out is that no one ever saw a monster spawning, they just happen to be there when you look for it and are related to the surroundings, so it can be somewhat controlled.
Anyway, my mind went off on a tangent while clubbing this poor goblin to death. The reason I didn't ‘subordinate’ him is because if this world is anyway like the RPG games, there must be mutant monsters who are stronger than the common ones. I Didn’t have the chance to confirm with the bunnies since none appeared but the store where I sold the pelts had a price table for Red colored bunny fur.
I spent half of the day in the forest, sometimes coming back to the entrance to kill a bunny or another for food but overall it was all spent hunting for goblins. I finally leveled up and gained a new skill and title. My status now reads as follows.

[System review - On the right track to a racial genocide!]
What’s up with that review anyway? Sometimes I think this system is evil.
[Like you, the Chaos Monarch System is neither good nor evil, just is. You may use it as your heart desires and bring chaos across the universes]
"You see, but that sound evil as fuck you know"
The system is silent.
Anyway, just when i was about to call it a day and return to the inn, i found a strange goblin, his eyes were black other than green, and his skin was gray-ish with a bodybuild on the weaker side. His ‘clothing’ consisted of a sleeveless open vest made of black feathers along with the usual cloth thong.
I tried to convert him.
[User needs to defeat in combat before converting is possible]
It shouldn't be that difficult, it's still a goblin after all, so i approached him expecting the title effect to do his wonders but instead of fear the eyes that looked back at me were filled with intelligence.
[Goblin Shaman Lv.4]
I was preparing to attack him when I felt something was wrong. It was just an intuition but I trusted it and leaped backwards. A pair of skeleton hands bursted out of the ground where I was just standing trying to hold my legs. The hands searched around for something to grab before vanishing in shadows.
The goblin pressed the advantage, taking out a black dagger from his vest. It glowed with a black light when he tried to stab at me, maybe a variation of my own powered strike.
I parried the strike with my club, it was weaker than I anticipated but surprisingly my club started to rot from where the dagger landed.
I throwed it away, making the goblin smirk and attack at me again, but I managed to take him off guard by taking another club from my increasingly bigger [Goblin Club] collection from my inventory.
I clubbed his dagger to the side and before my club rotted I swung it at his face.
The goblin shaman turned out to be more fragile than the normal goblins, one strike to the head was all it took to send him tumbling. Before he could recover i subdued him and proceeded to use my skill.
“Convert!”
The magic circles underneath the monster were different this time, his magic circle was black with a skull in the middle.
[Converting succeeded!]
[Name your subordinate]
“Creativity is not my forte, let’s just go with Dark Dagger” The naming window closed followed by the subordinate tab opening.

System review - A goblin born with darkness affinity, necromancer in training]
“Master” The goblin bowed to me, it seems the 20 in the Intelligence stat makes a difference in communication.
“Let’s hunt some more, I want to get you to level 5 to finish my quest before going back, and it is still a matter to be seen if you can enter town”.
“As the master desires”
Hunting with Dark Dagger went swimmingly well, he used [Skeleton Hands] to hold the target in place while I went with a powered club to the head. A support in the backline gave a considerable boost to how fast we leveled and it wasn’t long before he got his level 5. In retrospect maybe his name should have been Dark Hand, or Dark Skeleton, or Skelly.
Underneath Dark Dagger the same magic circle of before appeared before making him glow up until only his silhouette remained, like a pokemon evolution. From what I could observe, he grew taller and slimer.
When the lights went out and the magic circles vanished, what was left was a goblin of almost my height covered in a black hood, shadows covered his face and he also had this dark aura about him.
“Master, this subordinate class has evolved, I hope my new skills are of use” He bowed again, I don't remember asking to be so subservient, maybe it comes with the skill?
Dark Dagger class evolved from shaman to necromancer, he got two new skills.
[Raise lesser undead - Lv 1

Skeleton Soldiers - Can be raised on any grounds other than sacred, does not need to use corpses but skeletons turn to ash when mana stops being poured into them.

I also received the system update that my quest was completed and received an item in my inventory that looks like a bronze concert ticket, but that is for tomorrow because after a whole day in the forest I'm dead tired.
