The goblin tribe is known as Gooblave, Aryss told Soda. While they were walking to the cave, Soda had been enjoying the feeling of walking for the first time. Every step he gives makes him smile. It's such a simple act, but feeling his legs extend, move, the tickles that his feet enjoy as he steps on the grass makes him happy. In his whole life, he never expected to have this opportunity. It didn't matter that his mind felt tired due to the use of the System. Every step is given with the greatest of joy's as he advance through the dark forest. Since he didn't have a light with him, he had to take Aryss hand so she could guide him. As a goblin, she could see in the dark with no problem. Soda just could see the darkness and shapes surrounding him.
I'll just hope they don't realize that this is my first time walking… I need to get a way to see in the dark soon. Maybe in the store of the system, can I get a skill that allows me to do that? I'll have to take a look… I cannot continue using my power so recklessly
While they were walking, Soda decided to take a peek at the system. He needed further information about it to know how to improve. So he evokes the menu using his mind.
With a white and black font, the transparent menu appears in front of him. The goblin girls didn't react to it, which reassured him that only he could interact and see it. Soda had the goal to investigate the system. After all, is his main tool and weapon in this brand-new world.
He finds himself interested in knowing about the rest of the menus that he hasn't checked. Specially the store. What he could even buy and which currency could he use? It was a mystery waiting to be uncovered. He takes a look at the different options on the main menu.
Psychic System
Skills
Development
Status
Store
Soda chooses to enter the development menu first and takes a look at his two main abilities/skills, the Telepathy and the Telekinesis.
Telekinesis Lv.1(Cost 10 M.E)
Telepathy:Lv1(Cost 20 M.E) Experience: 25%
This must be the way the system uses to mark my progress… It appears that it only filled a small part of the bar. So if I continue using my powers… They must level up. That sounds fair. At least i have made some progress with telepathy…although it cost a lot.
Soda had made a couple of mental links since he woke up, and both had been made with Aryss, which hadn't taken much work, but his mind felt weak. So the skills had to use a type of energy to work. Now that he has a vague idea of how the skills evolve, Soda has to solve the next issue, the energy.
The otlan exits the development menu and then opens the Status menu, and he's met with the three main stats, similar to the ones of the development menu:
Health:100/100
Stamina: 100/100
Mind Energy:10/50
Nice, this is a classic. I'm no fan of these stats…but is better than nothing. My mind energy, is far too low right now, I'll need to improve it… If only i got a way to make my stamina fuel my mind energy.
But what exactly is the mind energy? He could guess by the name that it comes from his mind, but the system didn't give a direct answer, leaving room only for speculation. What matter's is that he needs a way to gain it again.
Perhaps if I get better at using my powers, I'll slowly construct more mind energy… I'll need it if I want to get better at this.
The Otlan sighed as he looked at his overall status screen to continue his investigation.

He closes the menu. He was relieved to find the classical rpg status screen of traditional videogames. Since he had some experience with those, it's easy to understand them.
Now, the part that he wanted to see the most, the store.
He opens it, and it instantly welcomes him with a message.
Congratulations! You have earned Ten points
Oh, so it uses points as currency, and it appears that I have earned some… Maybe fucking Aryss gave me those?
He took a peek at the store as soon as the message disappeared.

Wow, it's better than I thought…
He found interesting that the system rewards him points by developing his own goals… Maybe the experience can also be earn like that? He didn't see any menu of tasks. Those shepherds really wanted people to enjoy these systems, he thought. The otlan smiles, as he closes the menu. He could explore more of the store and the system, but he prefers to do it while he's not walking through a dark forest. When he gets a place to sleep, he will continue his investigation.
But now, on to the goblin tribe of Gooblave.
Soda expected the goblins of the tribe to be living in total darkness, but as soon as he saw the big hole in the ceiling of the cave, he got more surprised than before. The hole let a clear view of the sky and the moonlight directly shines upon them. Torches were distributed all around the area and there were various tents dispersed, with one big tent in the middle. A small river flows through the middle of it, leading to a dark path of the cave. Soda walked with the pair of goblin girls, who upon arrival, saluted a couple of goblin guards, two males that looked surprised at the Otlan. They held wooden spears in their tiny hands, and wore small leather armors. The Otlan ask himself why do Aryss didn't wear an armor.
"Is the Chief awaken?" Cressa asked the goblin, with a serious tone in her voice.
"Umm, yeah, We just saw him a while ago, he's probably in his tent… Who's the horned guy?" One of the guards pointed at Soda with his spear.
"He's my Muga!" Aryss tightly held Soda's hand, with a proud smile that showed her sharp teeth.
"Really? Do you actually have a partner, Aryss?"
"Are you sure he isn't just a slave?" One of the guards teased Aryss, as he grinned and Aryss stuck her tongue out at him. Cressa intercedes.
"It's true. That's why i need to meet the Chief, so I can present him"
"Check in his tent, he's probably there" The goblin laughed, "I bet that he's still lusting for cock like the f-"
Cressa stomps his uncovered feet with her staff, making the goblin guard grunt.
"Respect our leader" Soda could notice how Cressa's voice shifted, her tone being more menacing and serious, like if the guard was going to offense the chief. "I will not tolerate any defiance against him. Understand"
"Sorry" Hesitant, the goblin just goes back to his post.
Interesting. Soda just smiles and wave at the goblins, as they walk through the village. He couldn't avoid feeling himself out of place, since he was taller than most of the tents there. There weren't many goblins outside their tents, but those who were, stared at him in silence. The otlan could feel their big, round eyes on his back, wondering why a naked man is in their settlement, and why does he walk alongside Cressa and Aryss. Soda could see how the goblins mostly wear loincloths or rags, like Aryss does. Not even shoes. He could only see a few of them wearing an armor like the guards at the entrance, but even those armor looked poor and miserable. Soda doubt that they provide much protection. But at least it's better than being naked like him… Speaking of which.
"Hey, Cressa?" Soda touches the Goblin witch's right shoulder
"Yes?"
"Can you give me some clothes?... I have no problem being naked, but i would like to cover myself"
The goblin witch lets a dry laugh out as she grins at him.
"Sorry, but no, I cannot let you run freely without the chief permission. You are a stranger to us after all… After the presentation, I'll give you some clothes."
"Great… Any way, who is this chief?"
"He's new" Aryss intercedes, still grabbing the hand of Soda "He's the son of the last goblin chief. He has been our leader for the last 4 months… Well, if you can call it like that"
"Why do you say that?"
"Because his mother is the one who truly manages the tribe." Aryss looks at the hole in the roof of the cave. "If it weren't for her, no one would respect him…She's a witch like Cressa"
"Is that true?" Soda asked the goblin witch "Then why did you defend him at the entrance?"
"Because I'm loyal to them. Her mother is a great friend of mine, and I don't think anyone else in this tribe can guide it without making it tear itself"
They reach the tent of the chief. Cressa enters in it, alongside Aryss.
"You coming, Goat Head?"
"Sure…yeah"
Soda kneels and enters inside the big tent. Where his eyes meet with a couple of goblins. One of them is sitting in a throne-liked chair, decorated with hide and bones from animals, giving a majestic look to the goblin who resides in the throne. The goblins possess a cute, feminine face, and long blonde hair. His body seems fragile, yet, it possesses curves like other female goblins, in a more pearl shaped figure. His chest is flat and wears a black robe that covers his front and back. A small bulge forming in his crotch area. He appears to be the so-called "Chief". His eyes fixated on the Otlan, as he can feel his green eyes staring at him.
So they have a femboy as their leader? That's unexpected… Maybe that's why they don't respect him? But, who could he be a chief in that case? I'll may have to read their minds.
The goblin that guards him at his side is a mature woman. She has long gray hair, her face has a noticeable scar across her face, some wrinkles, a long nose and big, black eyes who analyze him upon his entrance. Her body was a marvel, having huge breasts and a good pair of hips, showing an hourglass figure. She wears a similar robe as the chief, but with a brown color and what appears to be a cape made of wolf pelt.
Soda prepares himself, with his powers recharging, he couldn't preview what the pair could ask him. Or what they could plan for him. He didn't know much about the tribe, aside from Aryss's memories. His mind felt better, but still, he hasn't tried to use his powers again. He waits, as the Goblin Chief does his first move…
