DUNGEON CONQUEROR SYSTEM: I transmigrated into a Mosquito

The small goblin

The small goblin entered the village, and he saw his kin having their leisurely life. Some children were swinging their swords diligently, while others were playing with their same age. Most of the kids were doing mischievous things to the Elder, for which they would be scolded afterward.

Meanwhile, the adult and married ones were gossiping with nonsense news, clearly, they were women. And while Men were talking about how great their dragon was, which subdued their partners in bed.

The small goblin passes through them, and his panicking face does not escape the other goblin’s eyes. They couldn’t help but ponder what he was panicking about, and once they saw the direction he was heading. They couldn’t help but be affected as well. After all, the small goblin was heading to the Chief’s abode location.

The small goblins were clearly heading there to report for something. The small goblins were also kind of famous in the village. He was known for venturing outside, scavenging even little things just to survive. Gathering information was one of them because they were clearly valuable as well.

Although, most of them knew the small goblin don’t have parents or other kin to raise him and his sister. They weren’t compassionate enough to help their circumstance. Although, some were kind to provide them with some food. However, these days, they were currently suffering from a lack of food.

Therefore, the small goblins probably ventured outside again, hoping to have a portion of food for him and his sister to eat.

The parents decided to have their kids enter their own family shelter. As a result of their impatience and anxiety, they couldn’t stand the kids having fun as though being ignorant about the outside world. Therefore, they have no choice but to affect the kids through their emotions.

The kids innocently looked at their parents outside, who were looking in the same direction. Parents were biting their nails while some were hugging each other, hoping it was no bad news. Meanwhile, the cause of the alarm was none other than the small goblin who stood before the Chief’s guards.

There were two of them, each standing at the side of the sixty-four-inch width door. It was double the size of the standard door back in the modern world. Compared to the guard the small goblin encountered previously, the two guards exude a dominant bearing. Their pack of muscles was exposed as they were only using light armor made from the leather of the beast.

The thickness of the guard’s arm could even compare to the small goblin’s body. They have the same weapon hanging on their waist, and it was a mace. The head of the mace had uneven spikes surrounding it, and the goblin couldn’t help but gulp as he peeked at them. After all, that mace had been used countless times to smack the head of the beast threatening their village.

As the goblin was about to deliver his intention to them, he turned his head upward, and the words stuck in his throat. After all, how could he not be intimidated when the goblin was taller than him, and he was only probably on their chest level? In addition, the goblin wasn’t looking at him but forward as though disregarding his existence. Their lower fangs even stood out of their mouth, acting like a predator ready to gobble every prey they would spot.

In addition, the stench of raw meat entered his nose, and now only he noticed a severed leg of a beast in their hand. Looking at the size and its appearance, the goblin concluded they must have belonged to the wild boar tusk. He then looked at the lower fangs and saw the lingering meat of the severed leg and blood tainted their yellow teeth.

The goblin was really frightened about it and felt his legs trembling and turning jelly. However, he was resolute and reminded himself of the reward. As long as he could have the reward, then it all mattered. Even if he lost one of his limbs, he couldn’t care less about it. There was still a special person waiting for him.

“I-I wanted-,” stuttered the small goblin.

Before he could even finish what he wanted to say, he halted the words in his mouth when he saw the goblin guard move his arm, clutching the severed legs and tearing it with his yellow teeth. The scene was so gruesome to the small goblin that he wanted to throw up. Thankfully, he was used to the same sight, and his empty stomach held him from vomiting.

“Why come thee?” The other guard asked.

He then followed his partner and ate the severed legs as though it didn’t matter how hard the meat was. His tone was casual and didn’t appear intimidating, but the small goblin took it differently. He gulped and braced himself to send his intentions without stuttering up.

“I was venturing outside the village hoping to scavenge materials to trade for some food when I came across-.”

Sadly, the two guards reacted aggressively once they heard what he had said. The two of them bellowed at the same time.

“What?! Did you venture outside?”

“Do you know how dangerous outside, kid?! Even we need to be careful to avoid becoming prey to others!”

“With your body? I doubt even the mosquito monster we are wary about is enough to eat you alive!”

“Mosquito monster?” The guard asked his partner.

“Did you forget about them? How could you when…”

“When what?”

“I don’t know.”

The small goblin watched them as he didn’t know how to react. The Chief’s guard was famous for their brutality and cruelty. However, they were known for another identity as well, all brawn but no brain guards! Although they might appear fools and talk like an idiot, their masculinity was enough for everyone to fear them.

When the pair of guards were talking about the news in the goblin’s knowledge, he gathered his courage and decided to explain it to them.

“I-I think you are talking about the hunters hunting outside the village but returning with their member's sufferings from the loss of blood.”

The guards heard his explanation and stopped their quarreling as the small goblins garnered their attention. They both turned their head and glared at the small goblin, who immediately lowered his head because of fear. Their aggressive facial expressions suddenly lit up as they remembered something.

“That’s right! You, the small goblin! How can you know about it?!”

“Oh yeah! I remember them now! HAHAHA! Serve's them, right? After all, back when I wasn’t still a Chief’s bodyguard. I remember fighting other monsters who placed me in a life and death-situation…”

“And then?”

Once again, they were lost in an irrelevant topic, and the small goblins had to wait for an hour so the pair of guards could stop their conversation. Once saw the chance, he immediately grabbed it, but before he could announce the reason for his coming, the voice inside the hut reverberated outside.

“What’s going on?! Why are the both of you barking at each other?! I clearly made the entrance wide enough to prevent the two of you from making noise outside. Who would have thought it becomes useless? There’s probably someone who caused this mischief, so who is it?”

The two guards outside immediately shut their mouths and sent a glare at the small goblin, seemingly blaming the scolding of the Chief on him. The small goblin was wet with sweat, and his mind was panic-stricken. After all, the guards looked at him as though they were ready to devour him at any moment.

“It was this small goblin who started this Chief! He should kowtow and lick your feet for forgiveness. He deserved it!”

“That’s right! If it wasn’t because of him telling us he ventured outside. We wouldn’t have reacted about his carelessness and spent three hours scolding him.”

“Bro, it was only two hours though.”

“No, I felt it was three hours so it should be!”

“Stop!”

Both of their mouths immediately closed.

“Guard your post properly and stop slacking off!”

“Roger that, Chief!”

“Yes, Chief!”

Once the two guards returned to their respective posts, the Chief’s voice echoed outside again.

“Enter!”

The small goblin knew he was being called by the Chief and couldn’t help but gulp as he felt nervous. This would be the first time he had come face to face with the Chief and would personally deliver a piece of information to him. He moved his shaky legs and couldn’t stop ordering them to move, which made him even forget the existence of both guards. Thankfully, they disregarded him, and he struggled to move his legs until he finally entered the Chief’s hut.
