Chapter 2 (1/2)

Goblin (1)

I remember the feeling of dying. The terrible sensation as the stimulus from the body gradually ceases and becomes impossible to move little by little.

But what is this?

[Gang Si-ha (Fate)]

[Goblin Lv 1]

[Strength – 7 Health – 9 Magic – 5 Luck-???]

[Skill-Ebon Heart, Predation Lv1, Escape Lv1]

It wasn’t like the status that came to my mind before I died. Human Lv 3. Poor abilities. And there was no skill. I definitely remembered it. Perhaps if Fate didn’t die and synchronization was in progress, I would have been a farmer.

But now I wasn’t a farmer.

I wasn’t a Level 3.

I wasn’t even human. I was a goblin.

A weak monster common in games. With exception to slimes, the goblin was the most prolific threat in fantasy.

“What is this… “

The only voice that I remembered was my voice. It sounded awkward when I was talking on my own. After thinking about the reason for a while, I realized this is because the goblin’s vocal organs are different from humans.

I really became a goblin. My arms raised in the dark field of view were more elevated than a human’s. My skin was thick, and my nails were sharp.

My head was complicated. I had no idea why I became a monster without dying, what on Earth was I going to do, and what I should do in the future.

But one thing is certain.

“I lived.”

I am alive. I thought it was all over, but I survived. I was so happy about that.

I wanted to live. Even if I wasn’t human, I wanted to live to the end.

It was then.

[Quest generated!]

[You’re a Goblin, the weakest monster in the giant dungeon ‘Black Palace.’ You have to eat something else to survive. However, all you can eat is goblins of your kind. Hunt your kin and prove you deserve to live in the dungeon.]

[Goblin Hunting 0/1]

[Goblin Predation 0/1]

“Ugh!?”

It was the same as when the status window appeared in front of me. The status window was erased freely, and a glass window written in English with unknown content appeared in front of my eyes.

“Quest? Dungeon? Cognation? Damn, who are you!?”

The Quest I know is all I got when I played the game. But now, someone who knows my situation is instructing me to do what I have to do with the Quest.

I couldn’t overcome the discomfort and the fear spreading, but I couldn’t hear the answer. My voice was the only voice in the cave. Yes, it has spread to the cave where I am now.

And beyond that, a crackling sound was heard.

I had goosebumps on my neck. There was an enemy that could not be beaten. I could know instinctively.

‘It’s not the time to be dissatisfied with the situation.’

The fear of death came suddenly, and my mind flashed. I thought I should get away fast from where the sound came from.

Goblin’s body survived death. Moreover, now I do not have any information about where I am.

I don’t know who is telling me what to do, but having dissatisfaction and fear about it didn’t help me. Cognation. Kill goblins and eat them.

It was a very sensible instruction unless there was prey that I could fight against and win.

‘I’m hungry.’

After recognition, there was an unavoidable hunger. I moved as silently as possible and carved the Quest in my head.

‘Kill the goblins, eat them. Okay, that’s it. ‘

The window disappeared. I recalled the contents of the Quest in my mind. Then a glass window with the contents of the Quest came up in front of my eyes again. I thought about it disappearing, and it disappeared.

‘Then… Status! ‘

It was a success. My ability was quantified just by thinking strongly, and the status appeared.

I cheered myself and looked at what’s written on it.

Fate must have died, but the name of Fate was in the brackets next to my name. The question arose, but it wasn’t helpful for me to survive right now, so I left it out.

I can’t know how high my muscles, stamina, and magic are, because there was only me before the comparison target died. However, since the Quest tells me that I am the weakest monster, it was inevitable that it was not a high figure.

Next, the skill I was most excited about. A skill is a specialty, and it makes things that you can’t ordinarily do possible. It is also the most important thing when playing RPG games.

I didn’t have any skills before I died, but now I have three skills.

Ebon Heart, Predation, Escape.

I couldn’t guess the skill description except for Escape. At the moment I thought I couldn’t figure out what power these skills had, I had a glass window in front of my eyes again.

[Ebon Heart]

[???]

[Predation Lv 1]
