'Fucking hell, I'm getting tired of this.' Kin thought to himself. 'Still, I've grown a ton in the last few days.'

It had been three days since Kin had been Reborn into this new world.

'Been a Goblin isn't as bad as it seems. Well, I still don't know much about that.'

For three days, Kin had been stuck inside the newborns' cave, in which there were only other Goblins as young as him. From time to time, an older and mature Goblin would come in and throw some food at them, mostly scraps.

Because he was able to assert his dominance rather fast, Kin has been eating better than the other newborn Goblins. 

'Newborn is a bit of a stretch though. I could crawl and see right away, I could walk on the second day, and on the third, I'm close to the same height as the mature Goblins. The others aren't as fortunate, but to be fair I have been eating way more than my fair share.'

Ever since he was able to walk, Kin has been debating whether to leave the cave or not.

Something convinced him to keep waiting.

[System initializing...]

[Four minutes left before System Activation.]

'I wonder if the activation is somehow linked to me achieving maturity as a Goblin. What a race though... Mature in three days.' The Goblin scratched its chin while staring at the light at the end of the deep cave. Kin turned towards the other young Goblins, studying them one by one. 'Yep.' He had come to the same conclusion many times. 'Only males. Whether they separate them at birth or something else...' He shrugged it off. 

Kin wasn't planning on living with Goblins after all, despite being one. 

'Once the System activates, I'll choose what to do accordingly.'

The sound of footsteps approaching from the cave's entry resonated as the countdown approached 0.

'Bringing food?' Kin asked himself. 'Good. I'll have something to snack on while the System does its thing.'

[System Activation is underway!]

[System...]

Kin wasn't able to read the rest of the System messages.

'What the fuck?!' He exclaimed internally as his head was suddenly and roughly grabbed.

He managed to keep himself from punching the mature Goblin. 

Two minutes later, all of the young Goblins were out of the cave. 

'Nice village.' Kin thought to himself.

Pretty quickly, the young Goblins found themselves encircled by mature Goblins. 

'Wooden huts... I'd like to see the inside of them. It's surprising Goblins... Oh, they probably just found this place, or conquered it.'

The mature Goblins' grunts and shoves showed the way. 

At the center of the village stood a throne elevated by a wooden platform. A roughly made staircase led to the throne, behind and below which were dozens of colorful leaves.

Leading to the platform and throne as a long path devoid of huts and drawn through the village.

'We're being positioned on either side of the path. Since they haven't taken us out until now, something special must be happening. Some kind of visitors?'

"Stand up straight, pipsqueak."

Kin stared with a frown for a moment. 

'I can understand them...? Is it because of the System Activating, or because I've somehow matured?'

"What are you staring for? Oh, I see. You're one of the brats. Wasting my breath..."

Kin looked around for a moment. There must have been 100 Goblins on either side of the path leading to the throne.

"What's happening?" Kin asked.

The Goblin stared at him for a moment.

"An important meeting."

Before Kin could say something, every single one of the two-hundred-plus Goblins went silent.

On the old Goblin's head was a colorful crown. He walked slowly and cautiously before stepping up the staircase and taking a seat on his throne. 

Kin wanted to ask questions, but it was obviously not the time. 

The old Goblin, the Goblin Chief, reached below his throne and pulled out a wooden staff.

Moments later, Kin felt his heartbeat increase suddenly as howls echoed in the distance.

"They're here." The Goblin standing by his side muttered.

The howls got closer and closer. 

Eventually, that silence into which the Goblin village had been plunged broke. Mutters, cursing, whispers.

A mutter coming from behind him helped Kin understand the situation better.

"Those damn Hobgoblins...!" A Goblin cursed under his breath.

'Unwelcomed visitors, huh? But he talked about an important meeting.'

The fact that every Goblin was brought out into the open made the Goblin Chief's idea clear. It was a show of force.

'And since those howls indicated the Hobgoblins' approach, I assume the Wolves are their show of force.'

Seconds later, the ferocious beasts could be seen at the village's entry.

"Damn Hobgoblins..."

Many Goblins entered those words at the same time.

'They're riding the Wolves?! That's cool as fuck! I was born in the wrong race!'

The Black Wolves were ferocious blood-thirsty beasts. 

'Hm... Not much of a show of force though. There are twelve of them at the most. Twelve Hobgoblins and twelve Wolves, but still...'

What Kin ignored for now is that the forest that surrounds the Goblin village is the territory of many Species of Wolves, primarily the Black and Gray Wolves.

While Goblins could fight Gray Wolves on equal footing, Black Wolves were a completely different issue. 

As the Hobgoblins riding their Black Wolves approached the throne,the swarm of Goblins moved rythmically, following the Black Wolves' growling mouths. The Goblins would step back when the Black Wolves turned their fangs towards them, and take back their previous position when the Black Wolves would turn away, or go past them.

"Don't be so scared." One of the Hobgoblins said with a smile. "They're nice and harmless pets."

Even Kin could tell that the Hobgoblin was trying to insult the Goblins. 

Black Wolves preyed on Goblins, and Black Wolves were nothing more than nice and harmless pets for Hobgoblins.

What does that make of Goblins for Hobgoblins?

As the Hobgoblin standing at the front stopped upon reaching the wooden platform, two things caught Kin's attention.

The first was that one of the riding Hobgoblins was a female.

'Nice tits.' He noted internally. 'So Hobgoblins have females, but not Goblins?'

The second thing that caught his attention was the large cage, partially covered by cloth and pulled by the last three Black Wolves.

"Goblin Chief!" The Hobgoblin called out as he hopped off his Black Wolves. "It has been a while."

The Goblin Chief stared with narrow eyes.

"Where is your chief?"

Ferocious growling suddenly broke out, causing the Goblin Chief to wince and the surrounding Goblins to step back.

"There, there." The Hobgoblin patted the Black Wolf, calming it down. "They're friends, don't worry. Nice and harmless friends..."He turned towards the Goblin Chief. "Isn't that right?"

The Goblin Chief remained silent, staring with his wooden staff in hand.

"Our Chief was unfortunately unable to come. Duties and all, I'm sure you understand."

A heavy silence ensued.

"We're still going through the exchange. If the most honorable Goblin Chief agrees, of course."

The Goblin Chief's narrow eyes suddenly grew wider. His gaze, just like the gaze of all the other Goblins, immediately moved towards the cage.

"What have you brought for us?" The Goblin Chief asked.

Despite his best attempt not to, the Goblin Chief couldn't help but lick his lips.

'What the fuck?' Kin frowned as he looked around. The rest of the Goblins, lacking the Chief's restraint, were heavily salivating and not exercising one ounce of effort to hide it.

A hand was suddenly placed on Kin's shoulder.

It was the same Goblin that had talked to him earlier, though it was hard to believe. 

The Goblin which previously seemed exceedingly serious and almost respectable, but now salivating like a beast and breathing heavily like an animal in a heat.

"Show them." The Hobgoblin gestured to those at the back.

Before the contents of the cage were revealed, Kin felt the Goblin's grasp on his shoulder get tighter.

"S-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s..."

Never before had Kin heard someone stutter for that long.

"S-s-s-sm... Smells...."

'Smells?'

"Smells like a female!!"

"Like a female...?" Kin's confused expression turned towards the other Goblins. 

Presently, they had all forgotten their fear of the Black Wolves, or their hatred of the Hobgoblins. 

Presently, they were all animals in heat.

"I'm kind of offended that I don't have the same effect on them, but are you gonna do." The female Hobgoblin shrugged as she took hold of the cloth hiding the cage's contents."Give them a nice smile, will ya?"

The cloth was pulled down, revealing the prisoner.

The sight was such that even the Goblin Chief forgot himself, and started salivating heavily.

The sudden sunlight caused her to close her eyes. The headache made her feel miserable.

Through her torn clothes, hints of her generous curves and plump breasts could be seen.

She fought back against the pain, and slowly opened her eyes.

"Wha..."

At the sight in front of her, she nearly passed out.

Dozens and dozens of salivating Goblins, with erections so strong that the cloth that his their privates seemed about to tear. Other Goblins didn't have that problem, as they had taken out their junk the moment that the prisoner had been presented.

'Damn...' Kin hadn't noticed any of that yet. 'Those ears and that tail... A Fox Girl? This world sure is interesting.' He nodded to himself.'System. Anything you want to tell me?
