Demon King

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]

[Any creature can eat anything. Eating restores stamina. Slight toxicity is negligible. It absorbs some of the power of the consumed.]

[Escape Lv 1]

[You can run away quickly by consuming mana. Can only be used to escape from battle.]

‘It’s on hard mode!’

The description of the one that seemed to be the best, the Ebon Heart, was filled with question marks. Predation appeared to be an excellent ability, but it wasn’t a skill that would boost my fighting power right away.

The only other skill I had was for running away.

‘What do I do? I’m going to die even if I meet the weakest goblin. ‘

At some point, while walking defenselessly, a monster with a small body suddenly appeared from the corner of the road that he had entered.

If you reference a game, you can be sure that ‘it is the weakest monster of level 1’ from its attire. An attire that only covered the groin with a dirty cloth and armed with nothing else.

It was none other than a fellow goblin. Of course, I was dressed exactly like him.

“Wow aw ah ah ah ah!

“Kee-i-i-i-i!”

I instinctively clenched my fist and beat him. Was I originally so aggressive? It can’t be.

I grew up without aspiring to do anything competently. I couldn’t study or exercise. If I had also been aggressive, I could not have lived until I was twenty.

But now? As if I lived like that all my life, I was ruthlessly throwing a fist at the goblin that I had just encountered.

I thought that even I couldn’t win against the goblin, but I was wrong. If two parties are equally weak, then the guy with the most desperation wins. My fist hitting him was also painful, but my opponent wasn’t able to properly hold his body.

It was an opportunity.

I desperately beat him with only the thought of surviving. I hit his face intensively and kicked his stomach with my feet. My fists and feet were throbbing and sore, but I didn’t stop.

“Kikikik! Suck! “

The goblin screamed and fell to the floor. I ran quickly to see if he would wake up and trampled him on my feet. The little power contained in the skinny feet crushed the goblin of the same skinny body.

This was not enough. I stepped on him without rest and looked around. Soon a stone larger than my fist came into my sights.

“Kikik, Kikik!”

“It’s a profit. Just die, you bastard! Go away! “

I grabbed the stone with both hands and hit it on his head. The goblin screamed to die. The more he shouted, the more anxious I was to hit him with the stone. I hit the goblin until it was no longer making a sound.

[You gained 10 experience]

[You got 1 bronze.]

[Goblin Hunt 1/1]

After such a window appeared on one side of the field of view, I barely calmed down and stopped moving. My whole body trembled. I couldn’t hold the stone anymore and dropped it.

“Pant, pant … … . “

My breathing was rough. My heart was beating faster than my breath. Looking at the body of the goblin under my body, I just realized that I had killed him.

“Wook…”

Nothing was eaten, but something came up inside. My stomach was hot.

At the same time, I realized why I was able to attack him as soon as I saw him.

It was because my heart was running wild.

The ebon heart made me move. It made me violent and impelled my weak arm so that it could hurt the enemy. As a result, my whole body was throbbing right now.

There was no skill for fighting, but this skill was the skill that helped me fight.

“Damn it.”

I murmured at the end and bowed my head. At the end of my gaze, there was a corpse that was dirtier than the piece of cloth covering its groin.

“But it’s hard mode.”

It would be a lie if I said that I didn’t hesitate. No matter how hungry I was, I didn’t want to eat a smashed up corpse.

Anyway, I cannot stay in this place. The corner is especially dangerous. I dragged the goblin’s body back into the aisle. If I didn’t have a hideout, I had to stay somewhere that I could be vigilant at least.

The goblin’s body was still dirty, but I was hungry. I felt an intense hunger that I never felt when I was a human. It made me crazy. It wasn’t like this just a while ago, but the hunger got more potent because of the goblin’s body.

It seemed that I would die if I didn’t eat.

“Damn it!”

Only

Ultimately, I grunted one last time, grabbed the less dirty arm,

and moved it to my mouth.

“Woo-wook.”

I pressed it’s stomach up and shifted it; then I bit down.

I felt the effect of predation skill.

“Delicious.”

Even uncooked, the goblin’s meat, which would have been shaped like me, was delicious. The goblin’s dirty blood and flesh filled my mouth. From the next moment, I lost my mind and indulged in meat.

And when I woke up, there was nothing in front of my eyes, no bones, no flesh, no blood, nothing.
