Chereads / MMORPG: I Am A Gamer Goblin! / Chapter 40 - Becoming A Leader

Chapter 40 - Becoming A Leader

"Don't tell me!", Suddenly a shocked expression appeared on his face.

"The Legendary goblin!?". As soon as he exclaimed these words the other two players too became shocked. Because they too knew about the rumor of a legendary goblin wandering in the newbie village. They never thought that the rumors were true, or they all wouldn't have dared to enter a goblin village!

Rei once again took advantage of the moment and swung his long sword decapitating one of the player's heads.

At this time the other two level fives didn't have confidence in themself, due to which they started to run away, which was their biggest mistake. Rei quickly picked up his shuriken and then launched it, targeting both the players as they ran in a straight line, killing them on the spot.

Both Rei and Lucas were surprised on seeing that Rei was promoted to Lv.6.

They then soon realized that previously, when none of them paid attention to the screen, Rei had levelled up to five.

Regardless, Rei couldn't control his joy.

To him, the feeling of levelling up was refreshing.

He hugged himself as he mumbled, "It's so addicting."

On the other hand, Lucas sighed as he looked toward Rei. Even though he never played this game, he knew that the players wouldn't feel anything special when they level up which meant that there was something special with Rei's case. Something abnormal.

-"Not that talking with a goblin is normal. Everything happening around me has been abnormal lately…"- Lucas chuckled at his stupidity, after all, travelling to the world of fantasy wasn't normal now... Was it?

Rei then walked forward and stored the items of the fallen players.

While he collected the items, from the corner of his eyes, he noticed goblins walking in his direction. He kept his guard up but at that time the goblins bowed in front of him, startling Rei for a second but he then understood the purpose behind their action. After all, he had saved them all so he was considered to be a saviour and who wouldn't thank their saviour?

Voices echoed in his ears.

"Thank you."

They all started to thank Rei, confirming his suspicion.

As they thanked, one of the elders of the goblin tribe, slowly placed a wooden chair in front of Rei as if gesturing for him to sit on it, which was gladly accepted by Rei.

The elder goblins too, this time, started to bow down making Rei feel awkward. He didn't know what to do in this situation.

At that time his eyes paused on an elderly goblin lady. All her hair had already turned grey. She was holding a wooden glass in which some kind of blue liquid was present.

"Please drink this," She said as she gave him the wooden glass.

Rei stared at the liquid for a second.

'Lucas do you know what this liquid is?', Rei asked.

-"No idea,"- Lucas said as if shrugging his shoulders.

-"Why don't you ask the system?"-

And Rei did exactly what Lucas said.

A smile appeared on Rei's face as he looked at the contents of the blue screen.

He then lifted the glass to his face level and then gulped it in a single breath.

As soon as he did that everyone around him started to cheer and jump for joy.

*Ding*

< = = = >

Rei's muscles bulged for a second as he felt himself becoming stronger.

His smile became even wider, but at that second his serious expression returned to his face as he remembered about the reason, that he was trying to become stronger.

It wasn't for self-pleasure. Rather it was for his younger siblings, to find them...

On the other hand, Lucas was shocked. He never knew that a goblin could have such an expression. Just like any other person on the earth, he too thought that goblins were vicious creatures, and were very dumb. But now staying with Rei, he had changed his complete perspective of a goblin.

-'Ha… I wonder, if I hadn't died that day, would I have ever seen such wild things…?'- Lucas wondered.

-'Haha.'-

-'It will be fun…'-

-'Seeing this goblin grow stronger, gather people, expand the tribe and finally build a kingdom…'-

-'It will be so much fun to watch this.'- a sudden feeling engulfed Lucas for a second as he recalled everything that he had gone through with Rei until now.

Lucas then looked at Rei whose eyes were completely focused on the status screen. He was checking out the message he got right after getting promoted to the leader's rank.

*Ding*

[Leader's Tasks:]

[Solve your subordinates' problems.]

"What!?", Rei exclaimed as he proceeded to look at what problems were presented in front of him.

[#1 Problem: Debt]

[Amount due: 8000 gold coins.]

[Clue: Ask the goblin Rondachika.]

"…"

"Huh!?"

"What the heck?", Rei was surprised after seeing this.

Much more surprising was the name of the goblin.

"Rondachika?"

"Y-yes master…"

Rondachika was a weak-looking goblin. It looked as if he hadn't eaten for several days and would die of energy loss due to speaking at any moment.
