Chapter 2 - Goblin!?

I started to think to myself, again; 'Wait, where am I going? Isekai?'

'What the fuck did I do?' I started to regret my choices... again.

After a few seconds I started to feel my body, the cold stone floor, a breeze that was awkwardly too refreshing, my, body? It felt strange, like it wasn't my own, wait, I was naked?

I slowly opened my eyes, in front of me was a 2 meters tall humanoid being, his skin color was green... and he too, was naked...

"wiggle, wiggle*

"PLEASE NO HENTAI!" I did a back roll to halfway, and pushing the ground with my hands right after to land on my feet, what I called a tactical standup, though never this perfect.

Through a quick glance I noticed 2 more bodies lying on the ground, naked, they were females, I also noticed a few smaller green humanoids, 7 for what I could see.

'Goblins huh.' I saw a faint light coming from my back, I turned away and sprinted as fast as possible smashing a goblin out of the way, as much as I wanted to save the others, I hadn't weapons or knowledge about what I'm against, I also doubted Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu would work on that guy.

Halfway through what it seemed was a cave, I felt oddly tired and grasping for air, I knew I wasn't on perfect condition, but I was in no way sedentary, fortunately those monsters didn't follow.

Near the end of the cave, I saw a bunch of goblin corpses, and a few human corpses, as I reached the light, I saw a battle field, dozens of corpses of goblins and humans, though the humans seemed clearly outnumbered, there were wheel tracks near a forest, seems like the humans retreated.

'Shit, what should I do? I... I don't need to save them... what would 'he' do? The other humans have cleaned the majority of the goblins, they must have retreated since they didn't know their numbers... but 8...' I rekt my brain, every bit of knowledge I had in my possession, poisoning, suffocating, traps, anatomical weaknesses, positioning, tactics, it's all useless, nothing would be applicable here, it's a single way cave, I am outnumbered and I don't have time to prepare anything.

'Aaahh shiit!' I quickly grabbed a bow a straight stick and a piece of wood,

'Bow and drill method, shouldn't be that hard,' I start drilling, after a few minutes, I am unsuccessful and out of breath.

'... Fuck!' I give up on crafting a torch, I rest for 5 minutes and after, get the smallest sword and a shield I see.

'Hurry!' It would be preferable if I had armor, but oddly, no armor in here fits me, after gearing up, I carefully reenter the cave.

As I crept through the wall I suddenly break part of it, '!?'.

'Brittle? It... it can't...' I collect the broken part and return outside,

'Magnesium? I thought it was only present in deep caves, with this fragility it might be of high purity, but I can't be sure it's really it.' I thought of a plan, I grab some pieces of clean cloth and go back into the cave, I walk towards the magnesium vein, and start to scrape it in grains as thin as possible to pack them into 2 little pouches of cloth.

I start to head deeper into the cave, as the light gets dimmer, I arrive just in time to see one of the goblins raping one of the girls, the girl is conscious, she is struggling while moaning pitifully.

I wait and analyze the situation, I observe each of the 7 goblins positions, and attack the closest one.

*slash*

I killed a living being... but before I could dive in thoughts again...

"Krreekrekkk"

*slash*

'2' the rest of the goblins quickly gear with knives and bows, I block the passage outside, while leaving space for retreat.

"He... help-"

Two of the goblins who have bows shoot at the same time, I block one arrow while sidestepping, they do the same thing, and I repeat, while the other 3 are still keeping distance.

'Seems like they are smart enough to coordinate their attacks.'

I was starting to get tired.

One archer shoots again, this time, while 2 try to cut me from both sides, I block the arrow while slashing the goblin on my right and stepping back, but I wasn't fast enough, the second goblin pierced my left arm.

"Khehekhekheke"

'Bitch-' before I could finish my thoughts, the goblin head suddenly bursted, and something hit the shield hard.

"Kkeuughk"

I was sent flying, it was a mere rock, I struggled to stand up, I dropped one of the cloth bags I was holding with my left hand, the shield was bent and my left arm dislocated, almost broken.

"KHEKEKHKHEKHK"

The hobgoblin came walking slowly, as if I was a joke, I grabbed my sword, and secured the cloth bag firmly, the one I dropped earlier had spread the thin scraps and powder on the floor, it was too dark for me to see exactly where, I slowly crept forward, towards the approaching hobgoblin...

He was right in front of me, he readied to attack, when I found the piece of clothing, we were right over it, I threw the second bag on his face.

"KHE!?"

"Let us burn."

*clink*

*Frrsrshhsss*
