Isaac once offended his classmates because he was told to follow her. It should be nothing noteworthy in the school, but his classmate felt disgusted by his personality. The girl saw his friend and chatted with her for five minutes, but Isaac felt impatient and grabbed the girl’s hand, and it immediately left a bad taste in the other girl.
Isaac had always been impatient that he treated seconds as minutes. Time was gold, his motto. Therefore, he grew annoyed by the system’s demand for acquiring skills only he invested time. However, Isaac always moved on rather than wasting time complaining about it.
“I should follow him then.” Isaac set his eye locked on the small goblin. “He seemed to have a loud-talking mouth. If I followed someone introverted, then I might spend weeks learning the skill.”
Isaac silently followed the small goblin running while carrying something on his chest. The other goblin looked at him as they smiled, but some gave him an envious stare. Thankfully, no one followed him since the goblin respected the rules, even though some of them were against their nature.
Isaac was trying hard to catch up to the goblin for the latter was fast, probably because of his small size. Not only that, Isaac had to make sure the distance of other goblins between him was no more than ten meters to avoid garnering their attention. Thankfully, with his passive skill, Split consciousness, it didn’t take a toll on his mind.
Eventually, the goblin was about to reach the village wall on the west side of the village. Isaac was even confused to see the small goblin still running even though the street he was taking was lacking in population. It was probably because the place wasn’t in the center of the village. Or maybe because it wasn’t meant to live. However, despite the bewilderment, Isaac didn’t question the small goblin. After all, how could he be in the first place?
“A house? Here in this place?”
Isaac noticed in the distance a small house was built. The structure and the outline were quite a mess, probably the person who built it was only trying to build this by putting the pieces together, and making sure the house wouldn’t fall. Isaac didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at the handiwork of this crap, he could even demolish them by poking in a particular part of the house.
“Somewhere live in the house? Seriously? Is he or she bedridden?”

Isaac didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at the handiwork of this crap; he could even demolish them by poking in a particular part of the house.
“What if the bedridden goblin didn’t even have a comfortable bed to lie in? The poor goblin might instead be lying on the rugged surface of the ground!”
The dungeon ground, which even the village floor wasn’t filled with grass or soil, was a rock-hard surface. Therefore, it was indeed uncomfortable to sleep if they treated it as their bed.
“I should hurry. It seemed he started talking.”
Isaac immediately hasten the flap of his wings, and eventually entered the small house. He could finally hear what the small goblin was saying, but it was incomprehensible. He understood nothing of it.
However, for some reason, hearing the tone of the small goblin filled with assurance and a hint of concern. Isaac was perked up with interest. Therefore, a brilliant idea suddenly came into his mind.
“System, can I have the skill, Record? I want to record what he is saying, and play it once I learn the skill, goblin language.”
[Searching… Found… Registered. With the host’s skill, Split consciousness, and enhanced thinking, the host can learn the skill, Voice Record.]
Isaac heaved a sigh of relief because the system didn’t demand to use any of his time. After all, if he does, then he could probably only record the end of their conversation.
[You have learned the unique skill, Voice record.]
[Activating the skill…]
{Just what happened to you, little sis? Since the time the chief discovered this hidden place and built it as our village. You have been experiencing a cold. At first, it was only mild, but it is now worsening!}
Isaac felt a second voice imitating the small goblin’s gibberish. As expected it was indecipherable. However, he decided to play it later on. Although Isaac felt bored after not a minute passed, he patiently hovered and listened to the small goblin. In the end, he decided to land in a spot, which was difficult to notice him.
{Don’t worry. I will do my very best to find a cure. Even though the only doctor in our village couldn’t find the cause. The magical door outside was filled with treasures. Just don’t think I will come across against beasts. All of you need to do is pray that I can discover an herb that can restore your health!}
The small goblin with a little twin puny tails tried hard to look into his brother’s eyes, smiling and said.
“Okay.”
A second passed, and she returned to puffing out a hot breath. The small goblin felt worried and realized he should cook soup, so his sister could finally have a meal.
Before he stood up, he caressed her forehead filled with longing love, but the heat didn’t last their physical contact before he knitted his eyes brows from worrying. Resolving himself, he decided to make soup after pulling upward the sack that prevented her sister from feeling the cold from the breeze.
Isaac hovered before the little goblin for a second, before he realized she was a girl from her reply. He couldn’t help but pity her, but only if he realized the little girl had been experiencing the same sickness for more than a month, he might be thinking of saving her.
Isaac then followed the small goblin, who placed the object he carried, and tried hard to recognize them. A bottle filled with liquid inside, and a grain, which was probably rice, were inside a sack. Isaac then realized the small goblin’s intention for venturing outside was probably to get them.
How admirable, he thought.
Back in the modern world, who would do their best to the point of endangering themselves just to have a bag of rice and a bottle of water? Probably, only the children and parents who were suffering from famine could only perform it.
Hearing no talking coming from the small goblin, Isaac had an idea. He decided to analyze the small goblin. However, he immediately recalled he had already done it. However, he didn’t know the name of the creature and thus asked the system if he could know about it through the skill, Analysis.
[The host needed to upgrade the skill, Analysis.]
Isaac was disappointed to hear the answer. In the end, out of boredom, he decided to analyze the little sister and was shocked to find out.
[Creature: GoblinDescription: A girl goblin who experienced a fever for half a year.Note: The system detected a malfunction in her soul. The system couldn’t find the source, but here is the list of results.The little goblin is experiencing a soul attack. Chances of happening – 15%There is another soul occupying inside the little goblin and is awakening – 30%The actual soul of the little goblin is dead and used as a vessel for a soul to reincarnate – 20%There is only a single soul inside the little goblin, and that was the reincarnated being – 35%]Isaac carefully studied all the results from the system’s findings. He was stunned to the point he almost forgot to control the limb on his back. Thankfully, he was quick-witted to immediately flap his wings, denying his impending doom."The fourth option has the highest percentage. In addition, three of the option was about the soul thing, which should be the underlying reason she was sick. And for half a year?!"Isaac felt pity for t
“As expected.” Isaac sighed. “I didn’t know the goblin village is about to face its impending doom. Who would have thought they are dumber than humans? Well, back then. Citizens were easy to deceive by the government, but it was only because they doesn’t have a choice. While here… I have nothing to say.” Isaac looked at the little girl goblin with pity. He also looked at her big brother and later learned his name was Ink. He couldn’t help but feel sympathy for their future since even his big brother doesn’t have the power to change their faith. “In addition, even if I wanted to protect them. I might only bring myself harm. After all, who would have thought the greatest nemesis of the goblin is my race? If it isn’t because of my cautious attitude, I might not be alive and flying right now.” Isaac chuckled lightly and concluded that from now on, he would always be cautious wherever he went, especially now he was inside such a large dungeon. Even the hidden door is enough to be a lower
“Thank you,” replied Isaac coldly.After he learned his name, Phantom, he acted like how the name described. His personality should be cold and should be narcissistic. However, he didn’t know how to act like the latter because he never considered himself the main character. He was always humble and prideful but not overly arrogant. Therefore, he decide to act naturally as he could.“Phantom, I heard your flying skill is faster than any other flying monster. In addition, even the king greatly always praises you because of your astonishing skill to act as a spy and scout to other races without being discovered once. He was disheartened when he heard about your sudden disappearance, but when he discovered you are still alive and thought should discover a hidden place.He immediately gathered five hundred of us to follow you and accompany you in conquest. After that, he wanted to report you to him,” said the mosquito in the middle of the group.He then continued. “However, we can’t match
“I will take my leave now. However.” Isaac’s eyes turned cold, causing the five mosquitoes to tremble in fear. “You will know what will happen if something happens to the sibling goblin. I’m not kidding. Don’t test me.”“Y-Yes,” replied the leader while nodding his head. “Rest assured, Phantom. With five of us guarding them, our kin can't harm them.”The other four mosquitoes immediately supported their leader while trying their best to flap their wings, wanting to resist the pressure Phantom brought to them. Isaac felt assured by their reactions and quickly smiled at them, causing the tense atmosphere alleviated.Isaac was about to ask where the king was currently because he knew nothing about where the previous Phantom resided when he sensed his kin asking for help. Immediately, he lost connection to a single mosquito up to five mosquitoes each second, signifying their death. Isaac couldn’t help but tense up. What could have caused the sudden death of his kin? Does the goblin villag
Of course, once they exclaimed Phantom’s name, Isaac immediately acted like how the previous body would. He swept his head to his kin, nodding while pretending he was elated from the countless praises. Most mosquitoes who knew Phantom fired up once he was at the center of attention continued their exaggerated praises, and their loud voice escalated each second.The goblin wizard stopped the continuous chant of fireball, even though he could have taken the chance because the mosquitoes face their back to him. How could he have the gall to continue when he sensed an ominous, terrifying presence?His eyes locked intently on Phantom's presence and realized the mosquitoes surrounded Phantom and acted happily delighted because of his appearance. He couldn’t understand what they were shouting, but the goblin wizard wasn’t dumb to realize the real battle was about to start.He immediately consumed a single mana potion and secured the remaining in his waist, making sure there would be no distr
The mosquito armies visioned the five materializing pentagon-shaped hovering, covering the body of the goblin wizard. However, their thirst for killing the goblin wizard didn’t halt their attack. Some were sensible enough to follow their screaming instinct, but it was only a pitiful amount of them. Isaac took the chance to blend in with the group of mosquitoes, who halted their attack, while attentively looking at the five materializing fire shields defending the goblin wizard. Relying on his vision, he knew the intensity of the heat coming from the fire shield was getting higher which was about to surpass the fireball heat! As expected, Isaac sensed the threat coming from the fire shield, and there were five of them at that! “No, it should be the only powerful skill that the goblin wizard has in his arsenal.” Isaac rejoiced. “The blue liquid he had drank, which amounted to almost ten, must be the mana potion. Seeing he immediately gulped them all means he was going all out!” Isaac
Time seemed to stop again, but it only worked at Isaac. He felt the wind, but as though he became a wind. The air resistance that became a barrier because of his speed seemed to disappear, causing him not to feel the roughness of the wind on his face anymore. In addition, he felt he could borrow the wind to penetrate the fire shield. If it would really be achieved, he could use the wind to block the heat entering his body! However, he was proved wrong when he finally entered the fire shield. “Hot!” Isaac felt his flesh was scorching, and the tremendous pain was traumatizing. Halfway through his penetration, he grew accustomed to the pain and suddenly heard the system’s announcement. [You have acquired the Heat Resistant.] He ignored it afterward, even though he was questioning if it was a skill. It would be good for him to remodel the system after he assassinated the goblin wizard, who was now staring at him in horror. The goblin wizard knew the mosquito monster had survived from
Three hours later, after looking at every nook and crook, Isaac finally found the tome. It was hidden in an isolated hut, which stood at the northern part of the goblin village. When Isaac found it, he immediately tried to open it but couldn’t. Aside from thinking of using his needle mouth to open it, there was no option as his limb was small and thin. It doesn’t have enough power at all! Therefore, he decided to ask the system about it. “System, how can I learn the tome’s content.” [Simple, the host only needed to touch the tome, and the system will absorb the contents through contact.] Isaac’s eyes lit up as he discovered more about his skill, Digestion. However, to validate his assumption, he decided to ask the system. “Will you use the skill, digest? That unique skill shouldn’t be that omnipotent, right?” [As for the host’s first question, the host is wrong. As for the second question, the host is correct. The prerequisite for the skill to be activated is needed to store the
