Disclaimer: Goblin Slayer and their mentioned or canon characters are not mine except those whose names never appeared within the series.
This is my first ever fiction-writing based on my favorite characters in this franchise. Hajime!
Oh yeah, for heads up, the story will start in the beginning of the series, the OC Demon Slayer was renowned with a reputation like Goblin Slayer to make writing this fic easier for me; and somehow change the latter events. Just to further inform you
In this world where demons and monsters have haunted humanity, roaming freely in the realm, there was a Priestess in a certain guild…
[Priestess]: I'd like to register as an adventurer please
[Guild Girl]: Okay, can you read and write?
[Priestess]: Yes
[Guild Girl]: Okay, would you mind if you fill in your personal record for your registrations?
[Priestess]: It is fine, thank you
Time skip: after registering in the counter and the "tutorials" where the quest board is found and the ranking system (Sorry, got lazy typing XD)
[Warrior]: Oh, you're new too? We're Porcelain-ranked too!{Introduces to his group with Fighter and Wizard}
[Warrior]: We are planning to take a goblin–slaying quest, and we are only one member short. Want to come join us?
[Priestess]: Well I–
[?]: No…
[Guild Girl]: {surprised and gasped from his sudden appearance entering through the front door behind them} Ah! Sir Demon Slayer, you have returned from your subjugation quest!
The Silver-ranked solo adventurer named Demon Slayer, mildly exhausted from completing multiple subjugation quests of different monster and or demon races all found in one province near the Demons' Borders.
[Demon Slayer]: {walks toward them} it's rather advisable to add another member in a group of 4, one that is at least Silver-rank to help novices get used to the experience. Sadly, not many have to kindness to spend time with young or inexperienced adventurers, which can lead to immense consequences to their lives.
[Guild Girl]: Hmm, that would seem a rather safer option, what do you think Sir Demon Slayer?
[Demon Slayer]: {looks at the novices' party} If it favors you all, would you like me to temporarily accompany you in this quest?
The Warrior was contemplating, with his pride on the line, but then was interrupted…
[Fighter]: You're welcome to join us! {looks to the rest} Right guys!?
[Warrior]: {with a somewhat infuriated tone while scratching the back of his temple} Fine fine, he can come.
[Wizard]: It can give us reassurance if we have an elite that can teach us a couple of things to remember during these quests.
[Priestess]: Thank you Sir Demon Slayer! We look forward to working with you!
[Demon Slayer]: I appreciate the sentiment. Now then, we will depart in a few minutes, so gear up.
[Novice party excluding Priestess]: Yes Sir!
Time skip: After equipping their gear and shopping for necessary supplies…
The group stood before the cave stated in their chosen quest, but before they enter…
[Demon Slayer]: Wait for a moment
[Warrior]: {looks at Demon Slayer with an irritated tone} What now?!
[Demon Slayer]: We must have a strategic formation, seeing that this cavern is a bit too narrow for us to spread and cover ground
[Priestess]: That can raise our chances of survival
[Fighter]: Okay then that settles that! So what's the plan?
[Demon Slayer]: Before that, {brings out two metal rods protruding handles near one of the ends} these are called tonfas, they can act either as a shield, club, hammer, hook or it's sole purpose by spinning it like this {shows how to spin tonfas using wrist and hand movements}. Use them wisely {hands them to Fighter}, it is dangerous to fight with bare fists, as it may increase the risk of bruising.
[Fighter]: {blushes while taking them} Thank you for entrusting them to me
[Demon Slayer]: Furthermore {takes out 4 sets of Mithril chainmail} the each of you must wear these under your garbs, it will provide sufficient protection from possible slashes and stabs. Demons may not be smart intelligence, but can be in terms of cruelty and lethality. Never take these quests lightly {in a serious dark tone}. Now then, the people with good physical defenses and offense should stay on the front, and that means Warrior and Fighter should go first. The people that specialize in support or spell casting should be in the middle to cover areas from the back and front while being protected, so Wizard and Priestess, that would be your cue. {they nod in confirmation}. I shall move from behind, to prevent ambushes to backstab us or worse. We may enter now, tread with caution and always look at your surroundings for anything that may seem out of place.
So our adventurers marched into the cave following the given plan of Demon Slayer to ensure their survival, however, there are drops of discord brewing in this small band while they walk for sometime…
[Warrior]: Hmmm, still no sign of any goblins, grrrgh, making me feel impatient…
[Fighter]: Either those goblins are really ticking you or is it something to do with Demon Slayer that is really bothering you
[Warrior]: Come on! Can't we just go, let's just get this over with alright…
[Wizard]: Hmph, arrogant as usual, so immature. At least I don't do that anymore.
[Priestess]: Um {looks away but then notices and points at a totem ahead of them} hey what is that?
[Demon Slayer]: Hmmmm {uses his enhanced senses and his magnifying magic trinket called Night Sight to see within the shadows} you guys in the front, get back slowly to my position
[Warrior]: Why should w–
[Fighter]: Just do as he says {retreats slowly with Warrior until a huge ragged yet muscular hand caught her shoulder} {she slowly turns with fear to see what got her shoulder and notices a Hobgoblin}
[Demon Slayer]: Duck! {throws a kusarigama, whose weight is wrapped around on my forearm, towards the wrist and neck of the Hobgoblin, which slices both of them in a matter of seconds}
Afterwards, the whole group was shocked to see a headless bloodletting Hobgoblin on the ground and its bleeding hand on its back; then looks to Demon Slayer letting his kusarigama fly back to his hand…
[Fighter]: Was that really–
[Demon Slayer]: Incoming! {points to a small squad of Goblins heading their way with spears, knives, and short swords} Formation guys!
[Warrior]: {ignores then rushes towards the goblins} Take this stinkin' Goblin! {splits one Gobln's skull with his long sword, then tries to swing again but at a higher altitude}
[Demon Slayer]: {anxious and angry tone} No, fallback! {about to assist until he notices more Goblins barring his path}
[Warrior]: {does a slash but the tip of his long sword hit the cavern ceiling}
Goblins lunged over Warrior and then tried stabbing and slicing his midsection, arms, and legs, but can't harm his midsection due to chain mail. However, in the blink of an eye, Demon Slayer took out his metal handmade combat darts and threw them toward all the attacking Goblins eyes, piercing their membranes and killing them on their spots.
[Demon Slayer]: {goes to Warrior and kneels with concern in his tone} Can you walk and talk?
[Warrior]: {grunting in pain from bleeding} Maybe, awwrgh…
[Demon Slayer]: Good thing we stopped to check the surroundings, that totem {points to the totem} is nothing but a distraction and diversion, most likely posted by a Goblin Shaman. However, it may also lead us close to their nests if we're smart and careful. But before that {pulls out a self-brewed elixir and hands it to Warrior} take this. One drop from this elixir can mend your wounds and purge the impurities inside your body. Keep it and save it from occasions to come.
Later, the group ventured deeper in the cave until they stop to see a massacre of Goblins inside, the kidnapped girls and prisoners clothed, the Goblin Shaman decimated, and a helmed figure with a blood-drenched club that slaughtered the goblin children…
[Demon Slayer]: Goblin Slayer, we cross paths once more, I know you are hell-bent to slay every Goblin but to slay them for our quest won't fare well for the quest assigned to us.
[Goblin Slayer]: I see…
[Demon Slayer]: {sighs with his palm on his forehead} Anyways, let us escort the kidnapped women out of here alright guys.
So in the end, the group of novices may not have completely subjugated the Goblins on their own thanks to the Goblin Slayer, but they gained their spoils from completing their quest of rescuing the kidnapped girls and women for their clients. And after a few days of reflection on the events that passed…
[Demon Slayer]: Goblin Slayer
[Goblin Slayer]: What is it, is it about Goblins
[Demon Slayer]: Yes, stay out of quests that may have been taken by other parties or adventurers, it rids them of their experience that will help them learn from their mistakes.
[Goblin Slayer]: I only care about ridding Goblins, I didn't kn–
[Demon Slayer]: Take other quests next time, and don't go on random ventures of your own without knowing other possibilities that will happen. Cross me again, it won't be pleasant. Will you accept my terms.
[Goblin Slayer]: As long as I can slay Goblins, then it's fine {reaches hand out}
[Demon Slayer]: Good {shakes his hand then walks toward a nearby stool, then happens to notice his temporary team having a slight argument, especially between Fighter and Warrior, then sees Fighter walking away}. It has been a while young warrior maiden. Having a misunderstanding with your companions?
[Fighter]: {sees Demon Slayer then her face brightens} Mr. Demon Slayer! {goes to him} Um, actually, I've decided, to leave the team actually, others did, because we were afraid of what might happen if we stay with that brawn for brains with his arrogance. So basically, I'm just on my own now. Hehe…
[Demon Slayer]: Hmmmm, that so…?
[Fighter]: Yes, and so um, I was contemplating if I…um, if I can uhm…
[Demon Slayer]: {raises eyebrow}…?
[Fighter]: {with a fidgety tone while slightly blushing and bowing} Can I please be your pupil, Mr. Demon Slayer!?
[Demon Slayer]: …If you can follow my pacing, you may stand by my side as long as you can. Can you handle it?
[Fighter]: {raises head with excitement and brightness in her face} Yes! Understood Teacher!
[Demon Slayer]: {thinks to himself} Maybe that was too hasty of a decision, was it…?
