Chereads / Adventures Of A Goblin / Chapter 16 - You, Who Are you

Chapter 16 - You, Who Are you

"ask away miss dragon, I will answer whatever questions you have"

"why did you decide to struggle in this life, why did you not just resign yourself to death"

"...."

"you said it yourself, in your past life, you ran from a wretched ending by taking your own life"

"Could you not have done the same for this life, you could have just ended it by killing yourself rather than having to go through all that pain".

"is it not easier for you to commit yourself to death a second time since you have done so the first time".

"hmm..., I never really thought to that extent, but I feel you are right".

"i am someone who has committed suicide once, so it should have been easy for me to do it a second time, and yet I decided not to"

"No, it is not that I decided not to, but rather I never even considered that option to begin with".

"hmmm, I wonder why that is?....."

"perhaps, I wanted to live a longer time in this world, or perhaps it was just my human nature of wanting to struggle till the end that surfaced and took over my thinking".

"this are all just assumptions, but I think the main reason why I never considered suicide is because I do not want to waste this second opportunity I have been bestowed"

"it might also be due to fear of what might happen next if I commit suicide"

"the first time I commited suicide to run away from loan sharks, I ended up in the body of a monster who has to spend his every day in high alert of dangers lurking around"

"I cannot begin to fathom what sort of punishment God will bestow upon me again if I take this second life for granted"

"That is why in this life, I have decided to fight until my last breath, suicide is no longer an option for me".

"what admirable resolve you have"

"eheh, thank you miss angel"

"how many times do I have to correct you that I am a dragon"

"but you look more like an angel to me, a peerless beauty angel"

"the appearance of my medium form is that captivating"

"you have no idea, with a form like this, men would surely kill themselves over you"

"such are the predictable actions of Inferior males, driven by their innate urge to satisfy their carnal desires"

"ahem...., you cannot really blame them for that you know"

"it seems you are no different, I can see right through your acts to attempt a reasonable justification for them"

"putting that aside, miss angel"

"I already said I am a dragon"

"right, miss dragon, are you going to kill me now"

"why do you assume that"

"because I am a lowly goblin and you are a dragon, isn't the rule of the jungle, the elimination of the weak and survival of the strong"

"but we are not in a jungle now are we"

"from my point of view, this place is no different from a jungle, no it is even worse than a jungle".

"You make a sound point, but I have no such intentions of killing you".

"if I wanted you dead, would I have carried you away from the water when you fainted, or would I have gone as far as to have you rest your head on my lap until you woke up"

"hmm..., that is true..."

"besides, spilling your blood will not befit me in any way"

"what if I end up being hostile towards you, will you still not kill me then"

"I still would not kill you"

"why"

"because you will never be able to pose any threat to me"

"The notion of the strong killing the weak is because the strong fear that the weak might someday grow enough to stand up to the strong"

"are you saying that no matter what I do, I will never be strong enough to stand up to you"

"yes"

"hearing that, I don't know what to feel"

"you should be glad you get to survive, trust me having me as your enemy is not something you would want for yourself"

"you are right, i guess I should be glad. you would have to be a God or a Goddess for you to not care about any one trying to contend with you"

"i can't imagine myself going up against such a being".

"do not be delusional, even God's and Goddess's have their rival to contend with".

"are you saying you are above the realm of a God"

"..."

"that, is not a subject for you to pry on".

"that is true"

"I must say though, you are a rare find"

"rare?"

"yes, it is not everyday you get to see a human traverser's soul and in the body of a monster, a goblin no less"

"traverser?, what is that"

"a traverser is a being who managed to cross through the bridges of two worlds with its Perdu soul"

"..."

"normally, when a soul wants to cross through another world, it has to do it through the cycle of reincarnation".

"The memories will be wiped clean before the God of reincarnation unleashes it into the reincarnation cycle to be reborn"

"you however, not only managed to slip from the hands of the God of reincarnation, you also went as far as breaching through the bridges of worlds to reincarnate as a goblin".

"your case is what we call a Perdue soul, while the one that goes through the normal reincarnation cycle is a naked soul"

"I see, Perdue uhhh?".

I stretched my hand and got my head up from her lap with my whole body following the motion of standing on its feet.

Standing on my weight, I realized that something was not right.

My body?....

It has gotten even bigger than before.

I remember now.....,

The reason I fainted in the first place was because I was about to undergo an evolution cycle.

But how?.....

My level was at nine, so how could I have triggered an evolution at just level nine?....

I was just about to make my way out of the stream when I noticed that I was not alone,

And then what happened?.....

Right, It was then that the system notification started coming in.

The first thing the notification said was...

I have encountered a specie belonging to the founder race, forced evolution trigger will now occur.

No way....,

The only person with me here right now is her,

Does that mean?....

Is she the one that caused me to undergo a forced evolution.

"you....., who are you"

"I told you, I am a dragon".
