'Day 2 of my new life in hell.'
After waking up, I could feel my vision had changed again. I had become taller than the previous day, bigger and stronger as well. But, I had to compensate for higher food consumption as my belly was growling, in hunger.
Looking around the room, goblins started to wake up one by one, probably because of hunger as well. One goblin suddenly stood up and walked toward the entrance of the room. Inspired, and maybe remembered about the previous day, we gradually went after it as well.
Going through the entrance of the room, I found myself in another bigger rocky room.
'Woah, all the bigger goblins are all here.'
Some goblins were at the corner brandishing weapons. Some were exercising and training. Some were drinking. Some were sleeping. Looking back, it seems the room was for rearing newborns.
'The room seems to be smaller compares to yesterday.'
Upon seeing us, they began to be more talkative.
"It's the day, kids. Go out there and hunt some!"
"Step up little beasts!"
"Woooo."
I felt weird, and a little bit excited as well, being cheered on by green creatures that I've just met.
'When was the last time that I got cheered on?'
As the room only had one path, we kept going together until we finally saw some light. Worries and excitement filled me as I gradually came closer and closer to the entrance.
Passing through that blinding light, a green forest seemed to stretch forever. The sky was beautifully blue, unlike the grey sky I used to see. While I was dazing off, one goblin came up and talked to me.
"Hey, let's move! Why you stand there?"
All the young goblins were looking at me confusedly, and I was confused and surprised as well.
"Why you all look at me?"
"Because you don't move."
"Why you wait for me and not go ahead?"
"Because we need to move together."
He answered it like it was a fact while looking at me weirdly.
'Ah, I get it, even though they are young, they instinctively know to move in number.'
"Right, let's go!"
At that moment, even though I didn't realize it, a part of me had already accepted that these goblins were my family.
———————————
We went all out as a group of twenty-three goblins, young ones, hoping to achieve greatness, food. At our first encounter with a rabbit, it raised its black head to look at us, then ran away. A black rabbit, with a horn and red eyes. We tried to chase after it but it successfully escaped due to its high speed. Aside from me, other ones shouted out in anger. Me, a little bit. Putting it aside, we continued to find our next prey.
Wandering around for a while, a goblin notified us of a herd of rabbits in the front. A large group of horned rabbits but had grey skin. I didn't too much about it, and charged alongside with the other ones. The rabbits noticed us, but instead of running away like the previous black one, these grey ones jumped at us while using their horns as a weapon. Some were able to dodge or kick them away, but a few got stabbed and bleed. After kicking 1 away, I ran after it and started to throw out punches and kicks. It jumped away from my attack range, then turned around and got ready to jump again. I hurriedly ran backwards only to fell to the ground because I stumbled upon a broken branch. It saw an opportunity and jumped in to attack me while I was lying on the ground. Realizing the stick could be used as a weapon, I forget about the anger and used it to smack the rabbit away while if was in mid-air. I ran to where it fell and hit it with the stick . Its cry grew weaker until there was no more and it stopped twitching. I roared while raising my stick high up in the air, signaling one was taken down. Looking around, I soon joined in and helped taking down more rabbits.
"Waaaaaa!"
The fiercest battle of my life, goblin's, had ended in victory. One was unfortunately got stabbed in the heart and died, while 10 were injured. On the other hand, we managed to catch 14 grey horned rabbits, which should be good enough for one day. About the dead goblin's body, we decided to leave it be.
I didn't know much about the hierarchy in this forest, so I thought a group like this was strong enough. And that idea was further reinforced when we were able to hunt down the rabbits. Returning to our cave while feeling excited, I wondered what would we hunt the next day.
