[Creature: Goblin
Description: 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 the little girl. Having a fever for half a year? In addition, the cold might be worsening as time flew by. As Isaac was back to study the results again, he decided to ask the system regarding the fourth option for clarification.
"System, when I transmigrated in a dead body. All I experienced was hunger and thirst for blood to revive my dead body. In addition, I was transmigrated into a dead body, and it shouldn't the same case for the little girl.
She is a reincarnated person!
Consequently, why did her soul only react six months ago? Seeing the structure and outline of this girl, she should be two-three years old by goblin standards."
[Responding to the host’s question. The information isn’t enough. However, there is a chance the soul is reacting to something.]
"Reacting by something?"
Isaac pondered as he was completely perplexed about something. In the end, he gave up. However, he remembered he recorded the short conversation with the small goblin and the little girl, so there would be information once he replayed it after learning the goblin language skill.
"Speaking of goblin language skill. It has been ten minutes since this kid talked."
Isaac wanted to beat up the small goblin for being silent for ten minutes. He wanted him to talk for an hour straight, so he would learn the skill by that time. However, the kid only talked for five minutes, so he needed to listen to him talking for another fifty-five minutes. However, the kid didn’t talk about anything yet.
"Ah! He is talking while cooking. What a garrulous kid!"
This time, Isaac decided to record his gibberish. Although most of them might talk about nonsensical things. There would still be a precious gem hidden in a mountain of garbage.
{The guards are really scary. The guards guarding the village pale in comparison with them. I’m pretty sure they only wanted to play with me, acting haughty and all mighty, but compared to the village chief’s guard? Meh.}
"Is this kid perhaps talking to someone behind their back? This kid has such a bad mouth."
Isaac thought as he continued to listen to the kid’s gibberish. He tried to understand his feelings from his tone. Hence, he wasn’t too far from guessing what the kid was saying.
{The villagers are also scared cats. I was running while feeling anxious only because I got tensed up, thinking of meeting the village chief. But who would have thought they misunderstood it? Later, I was told to assure the villagers that my report was nothing worthy, and I was only worried because it was my first time meeting the village chief. In the end, they laughed boisterously, and everything immediately returned to normal.
Seriously? Do they really think copping out inside the village, fearing fighting the monster outside, is enough to live peacefully? Delusional! While I’m gathering information outside and scavenging some things like the carcass of wild boar tusk. I discovered most of the beast was nearing the magical wall. Eventually, monsters will flood inside, and even the helpless hunters can’t do anything about it!}
Isaac continued to listen to his depressing tone and wanted to pull out his hair. After all, the kid complaining about something was probably precious information he should know! Thankfully, he had activated the skill, Voice record, and would listen to them later on.
"System, do the skill, Voice record, still active?"
[Responding to the host’s question. The skill is still active. Time check: 19 minutes and forty-five seconds.]
Isaac was satisfied, but it didn’t mean he wouldn’t listen to the kid’s tone. After all, he would feel bored if he didn’t.
{In addition, did they forget about the hunter’s enormous defeat by the mosquito monster? Our previous hunters, whose members almost reached fifty, have now reduced to a pitiably half!
Half!
Didn’t they feel concerned about the stunning loss? Just a single comfort from the village chief immediately calms them down, and they even act haughty, thinking monsters will not discover the magical door. And thought that even if the monsters or beasts did, the hunters and village chief’s guard would handle them before they could pass information. That’s bullshit!}
Isaac hovered as he continued to listen to the kid’s non-stop babbling. Although he understood nothing of it, as long as he learned the skill, then everything mattered. Thinking back to the time now, he probably listened to the kid’s talking for more than ten minutes.
"That’s good. There are only fifty minutes of torture, then everything will be settled later on."
Boring. Isaac felt bored again despite having his interest earlier perked up from the goblin’s talking tone. He felt bored. After all, what’s the point of listening to someone’s non-stop talking when he understood nothing of it? In the end, he could only resign to his fate and patiently waited as time passed.
Meanwhile, while he was near the kid. He studied what the kid was doing. Surprisingly, the kid was multitasking as he moved his mouth non-stop while attentively looking at the small pot, boiling the rice with water. Isaac even thought the kid might have the passive skill, Split-consciousness.
"Yuck!" Isaac felt disgusted when he realized something. "Is he thinking of making a soup using only rice and water? Even without a little bit of seasoning? Just thinking about it almost makes me throw up!"
Meanwhile, the small goblin, which Isaac had been disgusted with his cooking, was having glee on his face as he checked the rice had been cooked. After all, he considered it a feast.
{Finally! I can now eat soup with my sister! With this, it can last us for many meals!}
Of course, he didn’t cook all the rice as he only used a small fraction of them after thinking if it was enough for their meals. Inside the dungeon, there were no days and nights. Therefore, the goblin only decided the time when he was hungry; the early, middle, and last.
The early was their breakfast, the middle was their lunch, and finally, the last was their dinner. However, the small goblin wasn’t extravagant and was used to eating two time’s day. Yet he still planned to let her sister eat three times a day starting now.
While the small goblin carried his meal and for his sister. He helped her sister eat and assisted her and ate with her from time to time. This continued for almost an hour because his sister was a slow eater, probably because of her health, and he didn’t stop talking with her at the same time. This helped Isaac finally learn the skill.
[You have learned the skill, Goblin language.]
“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
Three hours earlier, after the fifty remaining mosquitoes gathered around the corpse of the goblin wizard. They discussed and considered what to report to the King. As much as they wanted to leave the job to the Phantom, the Phantom's assassination of the goblin wizard, which they feared the most, caused them to dismiss the thought. Therefore, they finally decided there would be only five of them to report to the King in case they encountered the other races along the way. They could only pray at least one of them to safely reach the destination and report an important matter to the King. Under the leadership of the pervert mosquito, they journeyed to travel to their old kingdom. Meanwhile, the remaining mosquito decided to split themselves and formulate a map for the goblin village. They were exhilarated and enthusiastic to get their job done as they thought the map would greatly please the King. They dispersed and only two remained to guard the goblin wizard's corpse. Two hours
