Demon King

Chapter 1. Goblin 3

If you don't hesitate, you're lying. I don't want to eat cracked fish bread even though I'm hungry, but the corpse of a Goblin is more haunted than a busted crucian fish, not a busted fish bread.

Anyway, we can't stay here like this. In particular, corners are dangerous. I dragged the Goblin corpse back inside the passageway. If I didn't have my own hideout, I should have at least stayed somewhere where I could be alert.

You're back. The Goblin corpse is still dirty. But I was hungry. An intense hunger that I had never felt before in my human life drove me crazy. It wasn't like this until just now, but I became more and more hungry because I was holding a Goblin corpse in front of my eyes.

I thought I was going to die if I didn't eat.

“Damn……. ”

Eventually, I grabbed at least a dirty arm, muttering.

And then I put it in my mouth.

“Woof.”

I pressed and held back the nausea coming up, and I bit it slightly.

It was then that I felt the effects of predatory skills.

“Delicious.”

Goblin meat that would have been in my likeness was so delicious, even if it hadn't been cooked. I cut off my arm with my eyes wide open. The filthy blood and flesh of the Goblins filled my mouth.

From that moment on, I lost my mind and enjoyed the meat.

And when I woke up, there was nothing in front of me. No bones, no flesh, no blood, nothing.

“Well, what the hell. ”

I was remembering until I chewed through my knuckles. Did I eat an entire Goblin? I didn't think I was crazy either. But my belly swelled up proved true.

My teeth didn't hurt. Instead of being sick, my body was extremely fine, as demonstrated by the predatory skill of restoring health. However, unlike saying that it absorbs some of the abilities of eaten things, it didn't seem to be strong. Why? Is it because Goblins are too weak?

At that moment.

[Goblin Predatory 1/1]

[Quest Completed!]

[You got EXP 100.]

[You got 10 bronze.]

[You have obtained 1 Lesser Health Potion.]

[Level Up!]

At the last moment the window appeared, my body was refreshed beyond compare to my predator's recovery.

Why? That's it. Because you leveled up!

My level just went up? I can't believe you said experience, but you could level up!

Level up was a bath if the food was washed away. Level up was TOP if the snack was just coffee. The feeling of the moment of level-up was overwhelming enough to be addictive.

“Ah, ah... ”

There was no change in my appearance, but I could see that I had become stronger by leveling up. Status proved it.

[Fade]

[Goblin Lv 2]

[Strength – 8 HP – 10 MP – 5 Luck]

[Skill – Dark Heart, Predatory Lv1, Escape Lv1]

Strength +1, HP +1. It was a really shitty change, but I felt that difference too much. You won't know what it feels like to be outraged at one point, unless you've experienced it yourself.

Kill Goblins to gain EXP and quest completion to gain EXP. Gain more EXP to level up or become stronger when you level up.

And when you get stronger, you're more likely to live.

“More.”

Be stronger. I'm sure I'll be stronger in the future.

I have to live... No, I have to live. And you have to be stronger to survive.

As I read my mind like that, what I need now appeared before my eyes.

[Quest Occurred]

[You have done a fabulous homosexual feast. You have proven your lowest qualification to live in a dungeon. But it's not enough. We need to eat more Goblins and improve our abilities.]

[Goblin Hunt 0/20]

[Goblin Predatory 0/20]

The figures increased 20 times at once, but I didn't complain about it. You can get experience from catching 10 Goblins with that quest. This quest won't be any different.

A life that should have died was resurrected here in the dungeon. I'm wearing a Goblin's body, but I have what I need to survive. Someone who doesn't know who I am keeps giving me orders named Quests.

There's a lot I don't know, but it doesn't matter now. Survival is all that matters. And to be strong, if possible.

I got up from my seat. With a stone that is slightly more comfortable to hold, I walk out of the hallway cautiously, but blinking my eyes.

I guess I was on a staircase full of weakling Goblins like me. If you ask me why I thought that, it's because soon I could find the same Goblin.

I found a Goblin wandering through the passageway and looked around carefully first. Not only did I walk to, but I saw that Goblin wandering around the hallway like a fool. We have to get rid of it now.

I don't know when he'll look back. I approached him as quickly as I could, being careful not to make as much noise as possible.

But damn it, I stepped on a stone that was on the floor the moment I got close to him!

“Queek!? ”

The Goblin turns his head in panic. At that moment, I struck him in the face with a stone that had nothing to hide from him.

“Queek, queek!"

The Goblin opens his fist unconsciously, screaming. However, it was right on my face.

I wanted to scream so badly, but I saw it earlier, didn't I? The moment it shrinks, it's over!

I gripped his teeth, endured his pain, and plunged him into my body.

“Queek!”

“Die!”

He falls to the ground and hits his head hard. I punched him in the face with my fist. He was desperate, but I was desperate.

Suddenly, he raises his hand and stutters on the floor. He wants to fight me with stones, just like I did. No way! I slapped his arm hard and grabbed a stone nearby and smashed it on his forehead.

“Kiuiyi!”

Kill him or die! Only that thought filled my mind. My heart was pounding again. My hands naturally accelerated. You continue to stone the place you just hit.

“Kee, Kee, Kee...! ”

The guerrilla Goblin rebellion gradually slows down to a certain point, and eventually stops.

[Goblin Hunt 1/20]

[You got EXP 10.]

[You got 1 Bronze.]

“Huff, huff, huff... ”

I put the stone down, breathing heavily. And I listened around to see if there were any other monsters who heard me fighting.

No. The dungeon is still. Well, it was a big dungeon. That was the only salvation.

“Then.”

I had to take the Goblins with me earlier, but now I'm in the middle of a clear-cut passageway. A space that can be alert.

I looked down at the Goblin corpse. I didn't feel nauseous like the first time. Rather, I looked like a nutritional supplement that would heal me when I was tired.

“I'll eat well. ”

This is how I began my new life as a Goblin.
