“Let’s go, my lord, “A majestic dark green figure said to Oz. Hearing that sound Oz opens his eyes, and he browses at the surrounding.

He could see a grandeur throne room with magnificent designs and decorations. Golds, diamonds, and all kinds of jewels are decorating the whole room. The walls are embedded with gold, and the pillars are made with a magnificent white jewel.

“My Lord?” The figure once again said.

“Ah, yeah, what are you saying just now?” Asked Oz

“Oh Come on Ren, what are you doing spacing out like that?” A human man with an expensive-looking armor said.

“Yea Ren, what are you doing? Do you lose your mind?” A sweet voice said.

When Oz focuses his eyes on the figures near him, there are 20 backs with a lot of species variation. He focuses his eyes on the lady who called his name, but no matter how hard he tried to focus his eyes, he still couldn’t see the lady’s face.

“Hey y-” As Oz about to call the lady, he felt great pain at his stomach. He looks down at his stomach and a red sword stabbed to his stomach could be seen.

“ARGHH!” Oz groaned. The scenery changed; it’s not the beautiful palace anymore; it’s a gruesome battlefield. A scene of humans being massacred by the demons. Humans screams and demons laughter could be heard everywhere.

A demon with a majestic air walked to Oz’s position, slowly and gracefully.

“Human” The demon calls.

“Do you wish to live?” He asked.

Oz tried to say something, but his lips seemed to be sealed. Suddenly, he feels like he is losing his ability to control his body. He stumbled and fell to the position where the demon is.

!!??

But a strange thing occurred, he got through the demon’s body as if the demon’s body is thin air. He gets up, and he saw, not his old body, but his current 14 years old body with a red sword stabbed to his stomach is glaring at the demon eye.

The demon laughed.

“So have you made your decision yet dear strong-willed one?” He asked.

“I won’t fell, to the despicable demon lies,” the boy barely said.

“HAHAHHAAHAHA! You’re near your death already but you could still say such overbearing words.” The demon sneered.

“To respect your strong will, you who is an orphan and the one who have the same kind of eyes with the heroes, I grant you a chance to live longer and grow stronger, grow, and keep growing dear young hero, make yourself as strong as you could, and help me the demon king face my boresome!”

The demon king pulled his sword and called his underling. “Sell this kid to a slave trader. Don’t heal him. It depends on this kid’s luck whether or not he will survive this wound. If he dies, then so be it, but if he survives, he will be my next hero toy.

(The hell? this is the memories of the real owner of this body?)

When Oz is processing his thought, suddenly, the demon king turns his body and walks away. But after taking three steps, he stopped, and he turned his head to Oz direction and their eyes met.

Oz sweat his back, and he gulped, the terrifying eyes of the demon king seemed like he is trying to devour Oz and every bit of his existence. Suddenly, his eyes shone with bloody red lights and Oz’s head is overwhelmed by a terrifying pain.

*Sound of heavy panting*

Oz wakes up from his slumber and he heavily gasps. He held his head, and he tries to calm himself down.

(That gaze is deadly! just by looking to his eyes I feel like my head will burst!)

Oz calm down and he examines his memories related to his dream, as he scanned he remembers things that are not his, he remembers about he living in slums of a town and got picked by a wandering knight, and he remembers, he and the wandering knight got assaulted by demons when they’re having a night at a remote village.

He remembers, he dies when he fell from the slave trader carriage.

(So that’s the story, rest in peace kid, leave all of your grudges to me, I’ll pay all of them who do all of those things to you, as we share our memories now, not even the demon king I’ll spare!)

Finished thinking about the memories, Oz realized, he’s on a place he doesn’t recognize, he’s in a house.

(A house! Whose house is this? Wait a minute, as I remember, I fainted at that creepy forest after meeting that fearsome lion, but where am I now?)

(Lucky me! seems like someone met me and helped me all the way here, at least the wound has some benefits, huh, finally I arrive at a civilization huh.)

When Oz tried to raise his body and get up from the bed.

“Aargh! hell, it hurts!” He held his stomach and saw his wounds had been bandaged, the wound is bandaged skillfully and neatly as if a professional doctor had treated him. When he tries to touch the bandage, Oz saw his hands.

!!!??

“THIS IS MY GOBLIN FORM!” He shouted.

(Don’t tell me-)

“Hey!” A sweet voice called.

“Are you awake?” the sweet voice asked.

The footsteps getting near and Oz got nervous because of his current body. The room door opened and a beautiful figure came in.

“Hey! you’re finally awake!” She cheerfully said. The girl who appeared is beautiful and sweet at the same time, her hair is pink and she had a smart girl kind of feeling around her. The only thing that makes her kinda strange is her green skin.

“Hello? are you okay?” She carefully asked

“Ah, yes I’m okay” Oz answered.

“Good then, come follow me. My brother-in-law is waiting for your stories.” She kindly said.

“yes..” Oz answered quietly.

(She looks exactly like a normal girl, but her skin is green! Is she a goblin? I guess I only need to check it myself huh.)

“Appraisal Card skill activate!” Oz silently muttered.

(As I expected)

Oz followed Geeta outside the room, Geeta led him to the living room to meet with his brother-in-law.

In the living room, he could see a man sitting and drinking on a wooden chair. The man is muscular and has a good-looking face; his face shows a great charisma; he is the goblin tribe leader, Aegir.

“Brother in law, our patient has finally waked up” Geeta cheerfully said.

“Ooh, so you finally awake! Come sit in front of me, let’s hear your story.” a bass voice said.

“Oh yea, my name is Aegir, I’m the leader of this tribe, nice to meet you.” The man kindly said.

“Y-yes, nice to meet you too, my name is… my name is Ren,” Oz said. He wants to say Oz as his name, but his guts asked him to introduce himself as ren.

“You know? I found you lying at the deep side of the magical forest soaked with blood so I brought you here.”

“It’s weird to found a goblin inside a very dangerous place. So ren, what’s your story, what happened to you and where do you come from” Asked Aegir with a smile.

(This is difficult, I’ll just make up something I guess)

“I don’t know… I.. think I lost some of my memories, I can’t remember where I came from and I seem to be unable to remember anything else except for my name and the moments before I faint.” Oz lied.

“Hmm, so you lost your memory, one of our tribe lost his memories to when he fell from a tree on his head. Well then, what happened before you fainted?’ Questioned Aegir.

“I got attacked by a darkness lion,” Oz said.

“A DARKNESS LION!?” Shouted Aegir.

“You got attacked by a darkness lion and you’re survived?”

“It’s impossible” Geeta interjected.

“um.. when I met it, the darkness lion is fighting with a creature, I don’t know what creature it’s fighting because I immediately run after seeing the darkness lion, but in the middle of my retreat, the darkness lion battle got near me and a stray wind bullet magic crashes me,” Oz said

“That makes sense, I saw some holes and there is some trace of wind mana on your back when I treated you, he is not lying brother,” Geeta answered.

“That’s unlucky for you, but from the fact you meet a darkness lion is already an awesome unluckiness itself but let’s not talk about this anymore, so Ren, stay here for however long you want, either until you regained your memories or until you fully healed. Geeta, I’ll leave him to you.” Aegir said, and he gets out of the house.

“So what you gonna do right now? do you wanna tour our tribe?” Geeta asked cheerfully.

“Yes, I’m in your care”. Oz answered.

Oz followed Geeta outside the house and he surprised. The scenery of the goblin tribe is too unbelievable that you won’t believe the one who lives here is goblins.

Not only the buildings here are similar to a human town, but all the goblins here have a similar appearance with a human. Oz shocked, seeing Oz face, Geeta giggled.

“Welcome to Gobblestone tribe!” She said with a full smile.
