Getting Stronger

And if I'm not wrong Alaric means. (Ruler of all) or something like that in Greek, so actually I kinda dig this name. I shall be a ruler since it would seem im destined.

Anyways, this horn is the perfect size for me to use as a weapon.

I would also like to keep the pelt intact so I can use something to wear. I don't really like this simple cloth.. doesn't feel right.

While I'm complaining about the cloth I feel a presence and when I turn to see I find Goblin Rou drooling looking at the rabbit in my hand.

"Alright im sorry."

"Here." I gave him a piece of it .

He then went on thanking me and being all happy but in the end we ended up splitting it.

After this long, meat it very good. While those weird bugs we are werent bad per say- they cannot beat meat.

I got a weapon, and ate some meat.

I would say today is a pretty good day.

I'm really looking forward to tomorrow.

…

[Day 5]

Today as well, I go hunting to survive.

Not too long after me and Goblin Rou left the cave to go hunting again I spotted another horned rabbit. Just a tad bigger this time.

So again I had Rou go up and scare it, distracting it and then I came up behind it once more and killed it with my recently created dagger with the horn of the other horned rabbit.

"The most Legendary horn!".

Goblin Rou stares blankly at me.

"Ahem, ahem, it's a nice day isn't it?"

Leaving my embarrassing thoughts aside..

I had obtained a good item yesterday.

Mainly thanks to Goblin Rou's, fast reflexes and being a good bait.

[Goblin Alaric Has Obtained "Medium Animal Horn"]

'Yeah this voice is definitely something alright.'

Compared to the last time we hunted, we got a big score this time so sharing with Goblin Rou wasn't a problem.

[You learned the ability "Escape"]

Hmm?

What was that? I start looking around confused.

But not long after it hits me.

"What's wrong Goblin Alaric?" Asked Goblin Rou.

"Nothing".

So it would seem I got the ability to take whatever I devour skills huh?

If im being honest this is kinda cool. From the novels I read this means I can basically be a jack of all trades.

Considering I am a puny lowly goblin this is very good news. Atleast this would give me the confidence to fight other monsters. Although I actually have to kill strong monsters to get strong skills. Which is gonna be hard.

But I believe as along as I got Goblin Rou and he is a good bait, I can easily kill some other monsters and along with some good traps.

I'll name this Ability…

Gluttony!

Since gluttony represents eating, and I will be eating a lot to take skills this represents it perfectly. I wonder if they have that skill already. Maybe not.

Enough blabbering it's time to get going.

"All right, let's keep going." I say to Goblin Rou and thus we set out.

While we were walking I figured I would try out the new skill I got.

As soon as I activate the skill it basically makes me feel lighter and faster. But that's all, it is mainly for escaping from your enemies and if you were to actually fight someone head on with this skill. Well let's just say your dead meat.

I spotted another horned rabbit not far away and decided to use this ability.

As soon as I activated it I became faster and arrived right up to it without it noticing and I took my horned weapon and chopped its head off.

'Yeah definitely just an ability that lets you run away faster. I suppose it depends how you use it though'.

After filling our stomachs with this and that, Goblin Rou began to look up to me.

Looks like he knows where he stands in this relationship.

…

[Day 6]

"EHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"You're eating Horned Rabbit, You're that strong? THATS AMAZING!"

It looks like Horned Rabbits are too strong for newborn goblins.

The one asking is called Goblin Ami.

"Then what have you been eating all this time?" I asked.

"Uh w-well tree nuts and stuff."

So..

It seems the naturally gifted have all left the cave. Not sure about this one.

According to Goblin Ami, it seems like other Goblins would get impaled by its horn.

"You kidding me? Do they have a brain?"

I said unintentionally.

'Hmm but well it would make sense that it happens.'

'Because they are retards..'

For the tree wielding clueless goblins, it seems likely that they would get jammed with a horn into their guts.

But, it's just recently I've noticed others have been mimicking us and have started to carry around sticks.

Well, it's not like it's a bad thing I guess.

"You're called Goblin Alaric?"

"It really is amazing, your so strong and smart!"

"That's really cool!"

"R-really?"

I stuttered embarrassed, since being called cool while being a goblin is uh.. well..

"Yeah! The other can't even compare!"

'I guess serious goblins are popular, come to think of it what is a hot goblin supposed to look like?'

"Well, what do you think about Goblin Rou?"

"Uhh? Normal?"

"Really".

"Hm? What's up Goblin Rou?"

"I'm hungry!"

"Hmm it is around that time, yosh! Lets go hunting".

….

"Goblin Ami you want to come too?"

"Eh?"

"Eh?"

"Ehh?"

"You've taught me many things, It's thanks to you. You probably can't go around swinging tree branches right?"

"Well, I won't ask you to do something impossible".

She looked at me like she was about to cry.

"Erm, did I do anything wrong?"

She jumps onto me and starts rubbing her face on my chest.

"Really?! Can I really come with you guys! I'm so happy!"

"Thank you Goblin Alaric your so cool!"

"Uh alright calm down".

'If this we're normal human children no doubt love would be filling the air, unfortunately we're not human'.

And like that, the three goblins happily went hunting. Horned rabbits are seriously delicious.

…

[Day 7]

It's raining today so we've put hunting on hold.

Instead we leisurely tried our hands at crafting.

I thought it would be nice to have some better quality pelts instead of being practically naked.

Yesterday when we were out hunting I went to a river bed and I picked up obsidian looking ores.

I took out the ore and put it down on the smooth rock I got, i then took some cloth I ripped from the trash clothing I had and got another rock to start chiseling into the ore.

I made it so it looks somewhat a knife, with a handle at the bottom and a not so even pointy end.

I then got the cloth I need and wrapped it around the handle to not hurt my hands.

And with that it was done, although its a bit crude but it will get the job done.

With this we can finally get rid of these shitty rags.

While we were working we ended up drawing a crowd of those around the same age as me around us.

The older ones just smiled, and I just ignored them all. They don't know if they should get in the way or not.

We made three knife prototypes and finished working, just after noon, with goblin Rou and goblin Ami the three of us thought of a new hunting plan and…

"What are ya folks workin on?". Asked The senile goblin.

I showed him and he praised it.

His name is grandpa goblin he is around 30 years old, which is pretty old for a goblin.

What the elder knows could prove to be very useful in the future. I paused the strategy meeting so that I could listen to gramps goblins stories.

Except for the useful things, such as this worlds "rank up" system, I'll spare the details for now.

What interested me was of a young servant, our parents generation wasn't there for it but, anyways, outside the forest, he was working away from home basically in goblin terms he was out pillaging… risking his life, using his strength and wit. A place where only the strongest survive.

It's so difficult yoy could cry, but this generation is a bunch of people who can only copy us, so our chances of survival are pretty high.

'Even then in 20 years I'll end up like this huh? Perhaps I can evolve and live a longer life though'.

"Hmm?"

I look down and geezer goblin has a hard on.

'Even at this age he still can move it? Goblins are truly a miracle'.
