Day 1-2: Just the beginning

-Day 1-

Soon I opened my eyes to find myself in a very dark place, but I could somehow still see. My eyes could somewhat make out the figure of an old and wrinkly green man. If my memory is to be trusted this is old Gobuji. This means there's a chance I'm from the same generation as that glutenous bastard Rou... I wanted to do more but my body was too tired and really wanted to sleep, though I fought the urge.

"Huh?... This one is odd... It has hair like a female but has a dick like a male... Maybe he's a hobgoblin... I guess I'll call you Gobumo for now. Grow strong and fierce." Those were Gobuji's words as he feed me something before putting me down and leaving.

Knowing that I was likely in the Re: Monster world, I couldn't help but somewhat wonder if that really is a good choice at all. Whatever, I'll find my way to be the last one laughing.

(Complexia, what can you do?) I immediately ask wanting to be sure of everything.

[I have various functions and can do many things, but my main functions are: Status Screen, Inventory, Harem Management, Relationships, Legion Management, World Travel, Lifestyle Functions, and Body Conditioning] Her holographic form appeared before as she began explaining it to me.

(Wait, what can Body Conditioning do?!) I inquired about what caught my attention, knowing I won't be able to stay awake for too much longer.

[This function allows the system to release 27,000,000,000,000(27 trillion) bio-spiritual Nanobots known as Bispina into your body. Once the Nanobots are implanted they will push Master's body and soul to their limits and make sure they always stay at the healthy pinnacle of their current condition. While also connecting the system and Master at a physical level on top of the spiritual one, better than before.]

(Do it!) I order as I feel the drowsiness slowly overtake me.

[Initiating Bispina injection... Process complete] In a surprisingly painless manner, apparently trillions of nanoscopic beings now live in my body.

[Warning! Initiating the body and soul optimization will be very painful for Master, and while it is possible to smooth the physical pain with anesthetics, the same can't be said for the spiritual one. Do you still wish to proceed with the operation? Y/N]

(I've come this far... Don't give me the option to give up... I might take it... Anyway, just proceed with it, like the gym bros say, No pain No gain.) I convinced myself to answer before I changed my mind or the sleepiness fully takes me.

[Initiating the Full optimization process.... Estimated completion time: 10 hours.]

It was then that I slowly felt my sense of touch go numb, and once it was done, things took a 180 turn as an intense feeling of irritation spread throughout my body leaving me in an uncomfortable state that grew worse by the minute. That irritation caused me to tremble and squirm for unknown periods before the real pain kicked in. Overall my body or more precisely what I imagine is my soul, had a massive wave of pain flood every corner of it, leaving me on the floor helpless and having no choice but to take it. No ounce of sleepiness was left in me.

My own screams filled my mind as the strength to even do that physically no longer existed in my body, that or the system was just stopping me from doing it because of the possible repercussions of that. It didn't matter, all I knew at that moment was that it hurt and I wanted it to stop! Tears left my eyes together with my blood and some foul black liquid, all things I couldn't care less for in my current state.

10 hours she said, but it soon had been days... No, months of this and I saw no ending nearing! PLEASE STOP! Enough! I just couldn't take it but fortunately or unfortunately it did not stop and went on and on and on AND ON!!!!

Whenever a part of me thought that maybe I could get used to it reality would remind me of just what I was experiencing and all my delusions would crumble.

-At the end of 10 hours-

[Process complete! Full optimization process complete!]

"I... Hate.... This...." Those were the words I uttered before the weakness I felt took me over and I fell unconscious.

-Day 2-

Later I woke up and luckily for me as a newborn not much is expected of me, so nobody paid too much attention to me. When Gobuji come to feed me he thought I had made a typical baby mess and didn't think too deeply about it, once again luckily for me the impurities of my body were so thick and dark that the blood became unnoticeable... At least I think so.

Anyway, he feed me bugs and cleaned me by basically pouring a bucket of water on me before leaving again.

This time I wasn't super sleepy so, I decided to see what else Complexia could do. Starting with the status screen.

I wasn't too sure about how powerful this signified me to be, but it didn't matter right now. I'll test my limits tomorrow when my body fully develops. For the moment I decided to continue looking at the functions Complexia has.

The inventory was as expected empty, so I moved on to harem management. There was not much to see besides:

[Harem Members:

•Complexia Von Rath(First Partner/First Wife Candidate)- Harem Manager].

My probing continued as I opened the relationship and in there were a few surprises.

[Relationships:

-Loyalty(Trust): 0(Who?!?!)

•Gobuji | Ji(Caretaker)

-Type of Relationship: Baby-Caretaker

-Relationships Status: Normal(Odd Gob Baby?)

-Loyalty(Hope): 50(Grow strong for the future)]

This was completely unexpected. The way relationships are presented is different from what I expected, but I think I can get used to it, and if it doesn't work out, I'll just talk to Complexia about it.

Content-wise, I was not prepared for all that and am honestly a bit conflicted on this one. I'm a lot of things, but ungrateful isn't something I would like to be, which leads me to the problem. Should I try to help Melina(The biological mother)? Cause if she gave birth to me she's definitely being used as a breeding device and her hate for me just serves to prove it.

Now the problems with that would be first, knowing which one of the victims she is. Then again I'll probably just free all of them if I get the chance to, but then comes the second and more unpredictable problem, Goburou or Kanata or whatever his name was, in the original story he gave the captive women poison, and they all drank it themselves, the result of their actions is obvious.

And even if I don't have to worry about Kanata, I would still have to grind my ass out if I plan on freeing them. Not because of the older generation of goblins since those guys are super weak, my worries lie with the expedition team that will come back in Little more than half a month, more specifically the mage girl will be a problem, especially if I consider the rest of their team. I'm not like Katana who can just steal others' skills by eating them, my prowess will mostly depend on how effective the body conditioning is and the job system, I guess?

Maybe I'm overthinking and underestimating myself... But there were no mixblood goblins in the original from what I remember, so I don't know how strong I'll be. I'll just focus on getting stronger for now and if I'm strong enough before shit hits the fan, I'll help, and if not, I'm sorry but I will not put myself in danger at a disadvantage. I might be able to regenerate from basically everything, but it doesn't mean I'm super durable or anything like that. If I find a powerful monster before I'm strong enough, I might become some sort of eternal snack or a punching bag, though that will only happen if my regeneration is a permanent passive, which it might be... I don't even want to imagine what the humans would do if they found me first...

Whatever can't be whining and crying too much, for now, I'll continue looking at the system's functions. Next was Legion management which was empty as expected, and then I skipped world travel which is pretty self-explanatory.

Lastly, there were Lifestyle functions, which are just a bunch of modern services or appliances that can be used for a price in the currencies of whatever world I'm in. Stuff like a washing machine, a dryer, a microwave and so on.

Finally done looking at the system's functions, I decided to talk to Complexia.

(Hey, Can you enter a physical body like as in possession?) I asked out of curiosity.

[I mean... It is possible if you want me to.] She answered a bit hesitantly while twirling her index fingers, and a completely blank expression.

(Are there any risks for you, If you do so?) I questioned seeing her reaction.

[Not really, the biggest downside, considering your attitude, would be how my appearance would become whatever you got for me. Also, just to clarify I can only take over an empty vessel, so if you choose a living being, it has to die before I get in.] She responded still expressionless, but her finger twirling grew more intense.

(Are you really sure that's all?) Having noticed her tick, I insisted.

[It's just... If I take on a physical body, our connection will weaken slightly since we'll go from practically being the same soul to being two different ones.]

I couldn't help but chuckle at her response.

[Master?] For the first time, there was a small alteration in her expression with an ever-so-slight frown.

(Sorry, I just didn't expect that to be what you're worried about. We'll be VERY close don't worry.) I try to reassure her.

[*Sigh* I know. Oh, and before I forget, I'll be permanently bound to whatever body I get into first... At least so long as we are in this world.]

(I see. What type of body do you want?) I inquired.

[Actually, I encourage Master to just choose a female goblin and just kill her. I'll take whatever vessel you give me.]

(If that's what you want, then so be it.) Having made that decision, the rest of the time was spent on small talk and a bit of me teasing her.

Eventually I fell asleep and so ended my second day in the Re:monster world.
