Chapter 22 Breakfast With A Cute Hob-Goblina
Chapter 22 Breakfast With A Cute Hob-Goblina
Day 12
The sound of bone snapping woke me up. Next was the scent of metal that tickled my nostrils. Oh I wished it was copper but it couldn't be. My body was heavy and I laid in a pile of… water? No wait… it's red. That was blood.
I could see a few bodies around me.
[Name: []
[Species: Timber Wolf
[Status: Dead
[A very ravenous creature that roams in thick forests and hilly areas. They are carnivorous beasts of honour, very territorial and believe in the system of power. They are powerful creatures that travel in clans.]
I gulped. Dead? There was a dead timber wolf before me. How? When? Why?
RRRIIIIIIIPPPP
The sound of something being torn apart entered my ears. I dared not move my body. That was mostly because I couldn't move. Moving my eyes around again, I was surrounded by about five timber wolf corpses.
'W-What the heck happened?'
<<Notice: You lost>>
'Sa sa! That's not something you should be saying. Since I'm alive and there are dead timber wolves, why don't we just say I barely made it, no? Maybe in my rage I ended up pulling off an impossible feat?'
<<Notice: You didn't defeat anyone>>
'Huh? If I didn't explain who the hell did!'
<<Notice: The Tyrant of the West>>
I already knew someone else came, but then hearing it coming from the agent was scary. Images of the previous night flashed before my eyes. The absurdity of the creature that appeared that night. How could something so strong exist?
"Hmm?"
I ceased my breathing lest the creature hear my ragged breaths. I could feel eyes on me. My instincts screamed for me to run away, but I seriously couldn't move. What the hell was this? I had even acquired a new ability.
[You have acquired the skill [Auto Regeneration]]
I acquired this earlier. The night I fought the timber wolf, but I was simply too tired to hear the notice or see the panel.
Right now, my health was almost at 100 percent. So why was my body still heavy? I looked at my status and the only thing there was [Normal]. That meant there was nothing absurd on me. So why?
Damn it! This was really annoying!
'I refuse to become someone's meal!'
With all the mental fortitude I could muster I forced myself to stand up. It was painful, but I felt that if I could stand, then the heaviness would go away a bit.
I was wrong.
My body still felt heavy and when I looked forward, a creature was staring at me.
'W-What the hell are you?'
That was all I could think.

[Skills: … Calculating…]
I really wanted to vomit at the absurdity. Wasn't she simply too strong? Like, absurdly strong? The monster's eyes locked with mine. Those beautiful powerful golden eyes. I was honestly excited at the sight. They showed untamed power. As such, my first impression of her could be summed up with one word.
Fierce.
She was fierce and wild. Unmatched in beauty if I were to compare to the girls I knew from my previous life. Also, interesting fashion style. Much like an amazon. Or should I say cave woman? With the rags barely covering her breasts and other private parts.
She was a bit shorter than Shiro and a tad bit more muscular
'Wait… have I fallen for a monster?'
She dropped the limb she was eating. Her mouth was covered with dripping blood and she stumbled towards me. Naturally, I took a step back. She reached out her hand to grab me.
Her ragged up hair swayed from side to side. Every single step of hers felt like the earth was shaking. With one word, I collapsed on the ground.
"Carkien."
[You have received 200 damage]
[Your legs have been broken]
The pain of having my legs twisted came hard. Ok, honestly it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
'What? What just happened? Agent?'
<<Notice: There are several possible skills that could cause this effect. Narrowing down the list of skills>>
'Can't you just scroll through her skill set?'
<<Notice: The skill set of the target Minerva is still being scanned and compiled>>
'W-What? Why?'
<<Notice: Attempting to group all possible sub-skills into one skill to minimize status panel length>>
'Why would we care about that? Just scroll through her skill set! Now!'
It didn't take even a second for the agent to come up with a response.
<<Notice: Possession of the skill [Overlord] confirmed. Would you like to see the skill's information? >>
'Yes!'
<<Notice: The skill [Overlord] is a skill that allows its user to have control over all weaker creatures in its territory>>
'So… literally the boss of its territory. Damn it, so that's what she used to break my legs?'
<<Affirmative>>
The hands grabbed my body and lifted me up. I came face to face with the beast and even closer I could only see how pretty she actually was.
'What the hell is wrong with me? Tch, agent! Give me suggestions on how to survive this!'
<<Notice: Use of the skill [Lustful Gaze]>>
'Eh?'
<<Notice: The skill [Lustful Gaze] is one that bewitches its targets, causing them to be entranced by the user. Using this skill will give you a route to escape>>
'Oh? In that case, let's go! Sexy Tori time!'
I activated the skill. In attempt at making the fresh boy face I winked at her. If I had lips I would have probably blown a kiss her way.
She paused and for a moment her eye colour changed to a dark violet, but that was only for a moment.
'W-What just happened? Did it work?'
<<Notice: The skill [Lustful Gaze] failed to work on the target>>
'Eh? W-Wait, then that means-'
<<Notice: Possibility of death now 92%>>
I swear when I get a way to mess with skills I was going to fuck this one up. If I ever saw its real body I'd kill it a thousand times over.
The creature looked at me with confusion, before dropping me and laughing hysterically. I blushed, sort of embarrassed, but the creature grabbed me up with both hands. This time its grip was soft and relaxed.
There was a bright smile on the creature's face. Her bangs fell messily on her face.
"Seran dulk sik."
'What?'
<<Notice: The target "Minerva" just said "You are cute." >>
'Eh? Eeehhhhhhhhhh?!'
***
So, I had a bit of problem. My problem was with the retarded skill I had known as [God's Voice]. You see, when I first came here, I couldn't understand shit of what everyone was saying, but then when I'm in the jungle with dangerous monsters is when the skill decides to reveal to me that it understands all languages.
Talk about dumb and useless. At the end, its excuse was that I never asked. That was another dumb excuse that pissed me off, because I couldn't remember asking for it to translate for me just now.
Oh yeah, there was also the current problem happening.
Oh? What you might ask? It would seem this beast upon beasts thinks I'm cute. And what happens when a girl sees a cute animal? She makes it her pet!
Now as her pet she has decided to feed me! Normally I should be grateful, but this girl is insane. Wait, why was I calling her a girl? She's a beast! She grabbed some of the timber wolf meat she was eating and tried shoving it down my beak. Seeing that it wasn't working, because I was didn't want to, she chewed it up and spat it into my mouth.
Who the hell does that?! So here I was, receiving an indirect kiss from a monster.
'No! Please! Stop! Stop!'

POOF!
I poofed up, being blown out of the goblina's grip. My legs were healed and my body was up to full health. I felt stronger now as well.

[You have received 40 status points]

'Sa sa! What is this? Ah, never mind! Now isn't the time! My chance at escape has come!'
I was about to fly away, but then
"Break."
My wings just snapped and I fell on the floor. This time, the pain was so intense that I actually screamed, something I hadn't done for days.
'Why?! This is too painful.'
"No flying in cave. Heal."
My wings just became normal again, and the pain slowly faded away.
'W-What the heck?'
