Demon King

I wanted to say something. So I opened my mouth.

But I only opened my lips, and nothing came out of my mouth.

“Do you like special sales? ”

“W-w-what...? ”

I knew that my own words could not form properly, but I said I wouldn't be able to endure it unless I said something.

“What-what-what...? ”

“I quickly recovered the body from the soul with Fett. If Fett's soul, which had completely escaped from the body he was staying in, rested in the human body again, his heart would start beating again. ”

“Is it... possible? ”

“Of course you can. I never lie. ”

Even the reliable words of the rain seemed to tease me. I listened to him and came up with ten thousand ideas.

My heart tried to have another seizure, but this time I thought it was enough not to just pick up the knife. It was because of the mood that the rain smiled at me.

I opened my mouth again, barely holding my breath just by screaming and glowing.

“Possible...?" ”

“Of course. But you'll have to come up with a good excuse for the people around you. an excuse to get sucked into a small warp gate that happened all over the world with heavy fusion, or summoned into a dungeon. ”

Then there's nothing to worry about!

If I could go back to being human, if I could go back to my place!

However, naturally, the hand that reached towards item 2 stopped at that moment.

…… back to my position?

To my position when I was one of the bad guys? A pathetic man who lived every day with no dreams, no will, no possibilities?

“Vee, can I ask you a few questions? ”

My voice, asking him, was still enough to make him think he was weird. The rain slowly smiled and rebuked.

“I'm also an informant. But just for today, and I'll answer for free only what I deem okay. ”

I asked him like a rush.

“What happened to Earth? ”

“There was a great fusion, and the Earth became one with Haiter. Except for a number of complicated explanations, the Earth is now plagued by abilities, monsters, dungeons and labyrinths. Everything has changed. ”

It was quite as expected. Just before I died, there was a synchronization going on, and I was rambling on about how a monster appeared. If it went the way it did, yes. It would be the world the rain is talking about now.

I followed up with the question:

“If I go back to human compulsion, do I still have the heart of darkness and predation? ”

“No, I'm sure Fett saw it with his own eyes. An empty Skilllan. ”

And the answer is yes. As expected. This skill was acquired by obtaining the body of a Goblin because I am a Goblin.

Human compulsion prevented me from handling that skill. I didn't have that kind of talent. It's not something I was born with.

If so, it is.

The talent that kept me alive as a Goblin and alive until now. The Dark Heart.

I closed my eyes and opened them. I took a deep breath to ask the third question, then hit the calm eyes and eyes of the rain.

And I breathed. Rain asked me.

“Don't you have any questions? ”

“I won't do it. ”

If you ask him, he won't come back with an answer. I was so sure.

The rain spoke to me with a smile again.

“Do you want to buy?”

“Yes.”

“Would you like to select?”

“Yes, but first another question. ”

“Whatever it takes.”

I even wiped the glasses with dry clothing and asked the old middle-aged man a question.

“If we continue to evolve into the body of Hobgoblin, will we someday be like humans...? Or can we work in human society?" ”

“Hehe, of course. ”

He replied with a deep smile, how much he liked that I changed the question on the way.

All right. I heard everything I needed to hear. I hesitated in my mind.

“I'll buy you a Blood Iron Armor. ”

What can I do when I fall into a world full of monsters or other abilities with a weak human body?

Then you will be able to eat the shoe. However, the scenes eaten by the 'wicked' who have no room to grow will definitely taste worse than the Goblins I hunted and ate.

I remembered the text that appeared in the notification window when I received the quest. Curses and blessings.

He was right. My situation was truly cursed, but at the same time it was also a blessing.

When I was born a bad guy, lived a bad guy, and died a bad guy, I got a chance to escape the envy of the other good guy and take his place.

I wouldn't have imagined it if it were me before. It was possible at this age. It was a possible choice at a slightly older age, from Goblin to Hobgoblin through Goblin Fighters.

I will take it. I was tired of being jealous. It was terrible to think of returning to the humans and wandering around on the floor.

I wanted to be stronger. I wanted to survive, but I wanted to be as strong as he was.

I wanted to be strong to survive, but I also wanted to survive to be strong.

I thought that two desires were forming an ascending relationship within me, but I was wrong. I wanted to be strong from the start.

You're going inside because you're afraid the humans will come? He was right, but that wasn't all. I've found rational reasons to hide my irrational desires.

And when I acknowledged it, I was relieved. At this moment, 'strength’ and ‘life’ in me became equal weight.

As though he knew it well, the rain said with a satisfactory smile.

“Excellent choice indeed. It's not uncommon for armor to recover and grow just by soaking in blood. ”

I didn't need to pay for it. The 55 silver in the inventory disappears automatically and replaces it with full body armor made of red steel in the inventory.

I confronted him, looking at it, and my sword, Blood Bastard Sword, right next to it.

“But there are others, right? There's a reason he picked this one. ”

“Hehe, what about that? ”

Rain took my questions with a smile. But I was sure. He told me. The fact that the Blood Bastard Sword I picked up from the Goblin Warrior is also a weapon that can grow just by soaking blood.

He was no ordinary Goblin Warrior. Neither did he have magic, nor did he eventually break a mercenary who had strong energy. It seemed like a miracle I was able to kill him and eat him.

“Fett, I have one last gift for you. ”

“What is it?”

“Time.”

I didn't think anything of it.

“Time?”

“Yes, I will extend the remaining 11 minutes to 12 hours and 11 minutes. I thought I hadn't slept in a while, but... what about here? ”

That's what I'm talking about.

I refused with a bitter smile.

“That's enough.”

“The condition is not normal. It's never normal to have a natural sleep condition. ”

“As long as I take this sleep appetite as it is, it will continue to rise. ”

“ ……. ”

The rain has lost its horses. Perhaps his appearance is rare, I said.

“I don't want to give myself more time. Later on, I will buy time for a fair price. Maybe when you don't have to buy time. ”

“…… This is absolutely impossible for me. Fate is truly amazing. ”

Seeing the rain that seemed really impressive made me wonder if it was that great. I said with a bitter smile.

“Then can I ask you one more question? ”

“Hahaha, got it. Ask a question."

‘Fate is already dead, so why do you call me Fate, not a bully? ’

The question I decided to ask was: But what came out of my mouth was another question.

“Here, you sell weed, too? ”

The rain stopped, smiling.

“Five gold, sir. ”
