— A goblin duke POV—

My name is Aegir.

I was born in a tribe called Gobblestone about 20 years old.

I was born from one of a goblin leader way before our tribe was found.

Back then there are no such things as goblin tribes or villages, we all live as groups in a cave or a place we could hide and get away from the sights of strong beasts.

Every goblin is born poor, weak, and cowardly.

We strive and struggle to live facing the strong with mere numbers.

Every strong goblin that manages to evolve to a goblin rare will be the leader of a group. so basically, the tribe leader is the strongest person in the tribe.

So there is my father, he is a goblin rare, he is quite a good leader as a goblin, he is strong but also smart, and he had a good charisma to lead the pack.

When I was little, he taught me all the things he knew, he taught me fighting, leading, communicating, and how to use your wits.

Back then, there are only a few goblins that could use the human’s language, including my father, from 120 goblins, there are only 26 goblins that could speak fluently.

From my father, I got taught the ways of things to be done, and he builds me and showed me the way how to be a good leader, and that’s who I am now.

I am the tribe leader and its founder.

After my father died 10 years ago, I proceeded to be the next leader of the group. Usually, goblins died in only 10 years because of unhealthy ways of life, their diet and sexual life shorten their lives.

But my father’s group is different, they only mate twice a week and have a proper diet, as we could hunt more expertly than others, and our group overall strength is quite higher than other groups.

My father died because of an attack from the direwolves pack. He died when he goes hunting with 10 members of his peers, he got surrounded and go outnumbered by the numbers of the direwolves. There are only 11 members at my father’s party, and there are 50 direwolves surrounding him.

With the direwolves leader had also evolved to a rare dire wolf that quite stronger than a rare goblin, the party got wiped out after struggling and killing about 24 direwolves and injuring the leader.

Learning from that battle, I got the idea of making a goblin tribe and recruiting and inviting other goblin groups nearby to form a tribe with us and joining us to make a stronger pack.

I talked about my idea to all the tribe members, and most them accepted my proposal, some members don’t agree because they’re afraid their position would be taken if we merge with other groups, so I ensure them that even if we form the tribe, their position will remain.

But every idea had its own challenges, not every group leader I invite wants to be under my rule. First, I thought it’s okay for them to be the leader, but I’m afraid that they would make abuse of the power, so I decide to continue my father’s wishes to rule justly and be the leader.

Because of the training and hunting I faced, I evolve to a goblin rare 5 years after I was born, and the opponents I faced at the tribe leader challenges is rather inexperienced at one vs one fight so I won all of the fights quite easily as there are only a few goblins rares.

Being the tribe leader, I united 6 groups together, some small and some big ones, and we became a huge family with 500 members. There, we made the first tribe ever.

I married 1 of the goblin from another group called Gina, she is the goblin leader of a small goblin group. We fight, we fall in love and we became together.

3 years after founding the tribe, we had become larger than before. We had 1200 members and a lot more of warriors from stray groups joining us and from the high fertility of goblins, there are a lot more mouths to feed but there are also more warriors to hunt.

Following my father’s rules and ways of life and teaching it to all the members of the tribe, we have a healthy diet and sexual life, and all of the teachings became a tradition in the tribe and became a strict rule of life.

Our lives are peaceful on that days, we hunt, we adventure the forest, and the kids grow safely because we made the village quite at the corner of the forest where there are only a few strong beasts we can’t handle. The peaceful life continues until one day, the direwolves pack attacks our village with 90 wolves because of hunger and we lost 20 goblin soldiers and 4 kids that caught off guarded.

We intercepted the attack rather late because it’s at night and the direwolves coordinate the raid perfectly by the rule of the dire wolf rare, seeing the dead kids I went to a rampage and kills 40 wolves.

The other soldiers start to attacks the wolves too and guard the defenseless goblins, because of the lack of danger we had a face, the soldiers are hesitant to attack the direwolves, and that piles up the casualties.

The result of the battle is, we manage to kill 80 wolves and capture the 10 direwolves, the rare dire wolf is killed by a wooden spear I threw. For the captured direwolves, I’m thinking of taming them and making them our pet, disregarding my personal grudge to the direwolves leader, I thought that taming them could maybe benefit our village.

After the direwolves incident, 6 months passed, now we already have 100 direwolves as our comrades. Back then, because of the grudges, I called them pets. But before I knew, I start to become attached to my partner Agira. He is the son of the direwolves leader; I knew it because he was born as a rare dire wolf, I took him in as mine because he is so cute back then. But now, in only 6 months he already as big as me.

The peaceful year passed and another year of the problem started, a foe more dangerous than direwolves and more wicked than goblins came, the humans. They chopped trees and hunt some beasts at the end of the forest, they’ll kill every beast they met and they’re always well equipped, so basically, the goblins are no match to them.

Our village is placed near the end of the forest so humans could find our village rather easily. One day, a party of humans assaulted our village, at that time our tribe had become bigger than before with 1500 goblin members and 200 direwolves. They assaulted us with 80 members, they equipped with heavy armors and called themselves knights of Grandaria.

Just like the direwolves, their assault starts in the middle of the night. They burn some houses and kill the goblins before they could take their weapons. Seeing our members killed again, I start to shout the commands and rush to the members that are attacked. I startle the knights with my sudden strikes and I manage to save some goblins, after reforming the positions and giving some commands, the goblins start to fend off our attackers.

This time, we kill all of them with no mercy. We wiped them out, but they killed 120 goblins and 20 direwolves, it’s the biggest loss for our tribe. But together with that lost, we got some useful loots. we got 80 full body armor, 40 iron swords and 40 bows from the human corpses. After cleaning the aftermath of the assault, some goblins came to me and said that they captured a human. When I came to the human, they captured there is an unnecessarily fancy-looking moving house-like thing that tied and pulled by a horse, and there are a lot of books inside.

The human my peers manage to captured is maybe a tribe leader in a human place but he is so weak and noisy so I killed him and toss his corpse to Agira for his snack.

I’m quite interested in the books inside of the walking house so I asked the goblins to put all the books to my house, my house as a tribe leader is far bigger than anybody houses, when I came home, Gina is already waiting and she found that the books are also interesting so we tried to read it together.

My father could read so he taught me how to read too back then, and now I taught Gina too how to read and she begins to learn how to read, Gina is smart so she manages to learn and memorize the characters quickly.

From the books, I learned about walls, mana, weapons, ores, and magic. and a lot of other things. I learn things from the books and applied it at the tribe, now, another 6 years passed, our goblins live longer than before with our healthy lives, I’m already 20 years old and still as vigorous as I was before, now I had already evolved to goblin duke together with some of my peers that evolve to goblin count and marquis. Benefitting from the knowledge of the book, including me, some members in the tribe could also use magic, and now there are even walls and watchtowers that make out defense more fortified than before, and every member had some useful fighting skills like strengthening and etc.

Oh yeah, I remember about having a weird dream some time ago.

One day, I got a dream that I was kneeling together with other races leaders to a certain someone, the memory, and the image is too vague and blurred. But one thing I could still feel is the lingering feeling of longing for that person to face me and show me his smile. I know nothing about that person but I could feel our connection, and I hope that I would meet him one day.

Today, Using my favorite sword and bow from the loot we got from the humans, I strolled the forest a little more than before because of my rank is already at Duke, as there is no one that could match me at the territory surrounding the tribe, I started to find some opponents at the deeper side of the forest.

After hunting, I killed some ectra vipers and some killer bears and went back after exhausted. In the middle of the road, I found a figure, lying at the ground and soaked with blood. He is a goblin duke like I am as its skin is the same dark green as mine, as the darker the green color at a goblin skin the higher its rank is.

(Where the hell does this guy came from?)

(I wonder where he came from but I guess it’s not that important right now, I should bring him to the tribe as soon as possible.)

(I hope he’s not dead yet)
