Goblin Slayer: Self Insert

by hitesh90

I somehow got reincarnated in Goblin Slayer World. At least I got born in Royal family even if my father is sometime a dick. Still its not all bad. Look out monsters here I come. I will definitely try to better this world by hook or crook. Self Indulgent. Self Insert (SI). Will contain harem later in the story. Lemons are also heavily featured.

Hello my faithful readers! Today I have brought a Self insert which happens in the Goblin slayer world.

I got this idea while I was reading the light novels. I was surprised when I learnt that Goblin Slayer only has 80 stories and most are not worth reading except 2 or 3. So I wrote my own story. I hope you like it.

Anyway this is "Goblin Slayer: Self insert". I have also written 4 other stories in the same genre (Self insert): "Highschool of the Dead: Self insert"; "Dragon ball Z: Self Insert"; "Harry Potter: Self Insert" and "One Piece: Self insert". You can read it from my profile page.

This is my 5th fan fiction of Self Insert series. I already have an idea for Naruto; Young justice and some others but they are all in infant phases.

Also I am sorry for any spelling or grammar mistakes I may have missed (English is not my native language)

Please review and tell me what do you think, any suggestion would be appreciated.

Disclaimer: I do not own Goblin Slayer, just my OC.

Chapter 1

Starting New Life as Adventurer

I reached the Guild by the afternoon.

Although I reached the Water town in the morning, it still took some time to rent a place to crash. The houses in the town were a bit above my budget and the tavern in the guild was also quite expensive if I had to live for large amount of time. On the contrary it was quite cheap for small periods of time like for 2 or 3 days.

So in the end I decided to rent a room on a farm which was on the outskirt of the town. I admit I got the idea from Goblin Slayer himself. With that I got out of the town and went to nearby settlements.

Most people weren't very forthcoming when I introduced myself as an adventurer. Truthfully they shouldn't too. Adventures were a rowdy bunch. They were thugs in simple terms. You don't know which one is good and which one is bad by simply looking at them. Truthfully most were bad sorts and the good ones were far and few in between. The good adventurer also suffered from the bad reputation.

Maybe by the time cannon starts their reputation will also change. Although the Guild was started in my time, in front of my eyes, the adventures already had a bad reputation.

I gave my father advice in how to properly induct adventures in the Guild and make laws but he was a stubborn bastard. Only in next few months I was proven right, still my father continued to ignore my advice. Though in the end I applied some cunning and was able to see him the light through the nobles from whom my father listens. Now though I can't do jackshit about it. Fortunately for me, I always planned to leave that place.

I hated the Capital – Constant whining of nobles wanting something or other; cunning council who liked to play games even if lives of people were at stake. Maidens and courtesans ready at back of your call. There was no adventure. There was no thrill….

Oh who am I kidding? I loved that place. It was everything I wanted. But like Loki I was discarded for my brother by the King though I was sure that I was his son and not some bastard. I was also older than my brother who…..

Well enough of my past. Back to the story – I found the place by the afternoon after going to every house from the morning. Thankfully I only had an old ugly trunk to carry otherwise I would have gotten tired carrying around my things. The old trunk was just a cover to protect my belongings from thieves. Nobody would ever think that an old trunk would contain hundreds of gold coins' worth of material. The trunk actually contained my armor and weapons. They were the only thing I was allowed to take other than my clothes.

Anyway, it was a 2 story house made of woods just like every other house outside the cities and towns. The owner was a middle aged man. He took a look at me and just nodded when I asked for a room although he raised an eyebrow as if asking me if I was stupid when I told him that I was an adventurer. Well I didn't want to lie to get the lodgings.

Consider this – If somehow the owner gets to know about me being an adventurer after sometime, it would have created problem for both of us. Still he agreed to give me a room in the end on rent.

He had the surrounding lands as farms on which he grew crops. He also had a scoop of chickens and a few cows.

We decided the rent to be 10 Gold coins per month for the lodging after a little bargaining. My room was on the 1st floor. It only had a kitchen attached to it. I put my things in the room and got out after eating little bit of left up salted meat from the morning.

With the lunch eaten, full stomach and place to crash, I started walking to the city for my main objective.

It was an old city built on the ruins of older ruins. The Guild there was just next to the town gate. The shops for armory and taverns were also quite near. It was quite clever of them to put all the ruffians away from the main city. That way the town people would not interact with the 'rowdy' adventurers, any more than it was necessary.

The Guild was quite large but it was still smaller than the capital's Adventure Guild. It had an administrative office, tavern and an inn. It was built of white stone which lent in an air of tranquility. It actually looked like it could have been a bank. Well folks you guessed it right it was the one and only 'Water Town'.

I totally didn't come to this place to bang Sword maiden. Well at least it is what I tell myself to convince me that I am not a dude whose sole motive is to bang chicks. Moreover she will still be a child. And I had a policy to never fuck a girl who was younger than 16.

Well truthfully that's not much considering I have never fucked a girl in this life. I didn't want to get some sexual disease so I didn't put my cock into every pussy I encountered. That doesn't mean that I was inexperienced. There were other ways to get pleasure.

You wouldn't believe but there was this girl who did things with her mouth that nobody else could. And another girl who had enormous breasts and could give one hell of a Boobjob. I cursed my father once again, for exiling me away from all those pleasures.

'Well I can't change the past' I thought bitterly

And that bring us to the present.

I walked boldly into the Guild without breaking any stride. The Guild was empty as it was some time after noon. Most of the adventurers were out on their quest. Some were milling around and about in the area. They were boasting or asking about each other's adventures. I tuned them out, not wanting to hear their drivel. I already heard much of it in the capital.

Seeing one of the receptionists was free, I started walking in her direction. Seeing me walking to her, receptionist plastered a smile on her face. Well I have to give her points for the try but I could easily see it was a fake one. I saw much of it in the capital. If it was old me he would have raised an eyebrow at seeing her fake smile. I would have even ordered her not to do that in front of me but I have matured since then.

She was obviously in this line for quite some time. I would say that her age was 20+ easily. It is quite difficult to judge anyone's age here. Everyone looks just damn pretty. Everyone was always in their peak appearance.

She was wearing a gentle expression. Her immaculate outfit was impeccably kept. Her black hair was down giving her a mature look. A quick glance around the hall left me no doubt that her work as a receptionist was demanding here too. And that she showed none of the strained demeanor that was all too common among professional receptionist was a sign of how well she knew her job.

"Welcome to the Adventurers Guild! What can I do for you today?" She said wearing a fake smile. If I hadn't dealt with this type before I wouldn't have been able to distinguish it. Still I know she just wanted to be polite. There was a saying in the Guild that you don't send the adventure with anything other than smile. I still haven't been able to discern from where that originated.

"Hello! I am here to register as an adventure" I said in perfectly calm voice mimicking her fake smile. She wouldn't be able to distinguish my smile from real one as I had tons of practice with it in the capital back when I had to deal with the nobles.

"Is that…..right?" She said. Her sweet expression momentarily slipping as she hesitated briefly, seeming at loss of words. I felt her eyes moving from my face down my body. I already sold my Royal clothes in place of a few dozen gold coins when I started the journey. And in place of it I wore some normal clothes, well as normal as a commoner could. Till now I hadn't needed that much amount of money but I know I could need them in future. Moreover some money lying around never hurts someone.

It also helped me hide my identity. Moreover the journey had left me bedraggled. She probably thought I was some other street urchin aiming to be Adventurer. Well it's her loss if she can't tell a talent when she sees one.

She resumed her smile with practiced ease and said "I see. Can you read and write?"

"Yes" I curtly replied feeling a little offended even if I know she is just doing her job thoroughly.

"Then fill this out, please. If there is anything you don't understand, just ask. You can leave 'Abilities' and 'Adventure History' spots Blank. The guild will fill those later" She said giving me a white sheet.

It was the Adventure sheet. Black letters paraded across the light brown vellum. I nodded and took the sheet and pen from her hands.

Name: Sasuke (Obviously a lie. Can't tell my real name without making a scene)

Now I know what you are saying. How could I write my name when the characters call each other by their profession?

Well truthfully the canon's naming is a load of bull. Think for a second. There are many people who are in same profession. How can they be called without getting confused who is who.

Simple! We differentiate them from each other, by their original name.

Moreover think – what would have Goblin Slayer filled in his sheet for the name. He couldn't have written Goblin Slayer as the name came after he started to get recognized for his goblin slaying. I suspected that either the author was just being lazy or he wanted to do something different when he named the characters.

In any case, I filled out the form in no time and handed the finished sheet to her. She was surprised to see me write it in surprisingly good hand writing and short time, as she looked up at my face when she looked at the sheet for the first time. I just raised my eyebrow and stared back.

"Yes I can write in good handwriting" my expression said it all.

She blushed a little at getting caught and instantly looked down.

Once she read it, she again looked at me. No doubt thinking how I can have so many skills. I just raised an eyebrow again. She even blushed again. But instead of looking down she started to speak up. Words somehow froze in her mouth. She maybe thought otherwise and didn't say anything.

She then took a silver stylus and carved a series of flowing letters into a white porcelain tile. She then slid the tile across the desk to me. I looked it over and discovered it bore the same information as my adventure sheet in closely spaced and small letters.

"This will serve as your Identification. It is very important. It will be used to corroborate your identity if something happens to you so try not to lose it, Okay" She said full in lecture mode.

'Maybe she was trying to cover her mistake by lecturing me' I mused

I just nodded not wanting to imagine my death so horrific that they will need some tag to identify my identity. Even so they can't identify my real identity anyway.

She continued "The quests are posted over there" She indicated a corkboard that covered almost an entire wall. Well it appears I will not be out of the job easily "Choose ones that are appropriate to your level, of course" She said in the end

"Personally" She continued "I'd recommend getting your feet wet by cleaning the sewers" She said

I just nodded and slipped the tile in my pocket. Pickings were slim, since huge crowd of adventurers have been going over all morning. And in no way was I going to those 'Sewers' quests. I have already killed so it doesn't bother me anymore. Moreover some greenhorns could take that quest. Chances of mortality are low on those quests after all.

I also wondered how they have 'Rat' and 'Cockroach' problem. This was Water Town after all. I distinctly remembered that they didn't have such problem when Goblin slayer visited it.

'Maybe they ceased to exist when Sword Maiden came into the picture' I mused.

Just thinking about her make my cock goes all stiff. I couldn't wait for the day when I meet her. Then again she will still be a pre teen. Moreover I remember that she didn't have those amazing breasts during her teen years when she was on the secret mission to defeat Demon Lord.

Shaking my thoughts away I looked over there searching for 'Goblins' related quests. I didn't have to look around much. Like in the novel, veteran adventurers didn't take it so newbie adventurers had to deal with the Goblins.

Surprisingly there was only 1 quest. Apparently a village by the northern river was facing some Goblin problem. First they only stole some corps but later got bold and started stealing livestock. They also injured a young man on guard. The quest was only a day old.

I took it to the receptionist. She checked the quest sheet and said "The Reward for this quest could only be 10 Gold coins at most. Are you sure you want to take this. It could be dangerous without a party"

Yeah I totally forgot to tell you how the rewards work. It was actually my idea. The capital gives certain amount of money to the guilds that are all over place. The capital already assigned a certain amount of coins for certain monsters. Still sometimes it is not enough and in that case quest givers give some money from their pocket. But at least this way the villagers won't become stingy and come to the Guild only when their options are dire.

Villagers till praise me to this day for that.

What? You thought I would do all of that freely. No I wasn't that noble. I couldn't gain any monetary reward for that and I didn't even need that after enjoying more than a decade of royal life. There was only one thing that I needed, and that was popularity. Even now, after the last incident, small folk loves me.

I also proposed an EMI payment method in case someone doesn't have the money but it was rejected by my father, our benevolent king. Let's not talk about that man. Even thinking about him makes me so angry. Still I wasn't here for the money. Sure 10 Gold coins seem a little less for a party but for a single man it was more than enough.

'Well judging by the quest, there should be maximum 6 goblins. Most probably wanderers' I thought. Still I can't be fully sure about that

I just nodded.

"Very well" She sighed and then explained me the outline of the quest which I had already read.

She looked at me like I was a dead man. On one hand I found it good that she was worrying over no named urchin. On the other hand I was a little annoyed that she would underestimate me even if I wrote my abilities. Even if I didn't fully disclose my abilities, they were quite more than a few steel ranked adventurers. But then again she maybe thought that I lied in my sheet.

Although I wanted to ask for other Goblin related quest that newbie adventurers took, I decided not to do that. I was only 10th rank after all. She wouldn't tell me about any other quest – which I was certain of. She already thinks that I will lose my life doing this quest.

First I have to show her my prowess and only then will she take me seriously. So I just nodded and went back to my room but not before buying an adventure tool kit for a silver coin.

The adventure kit contained a rope and some other things.

Once I reached my room, I quickly wore my armor and grabbed my weapon. Truth be told, I definitely copied some of Goblin slayer's ideas into my armor.

My black colored armor was made of Mithril which was connected by hard leather on the inside so that it doesn't make any sound. It didn't restrict any movements at all. Moreover it had Mithril chainmail stuck to the leather on the inside just in case someone slips past the leather. I also had 2 small and round Mithril shields stuck on my arms. 2 small spikes were also there on my elbow in case of enemy attacks from the rear.

My leg armor was the same. I was specific when I ordered it as I knew I will be going against Goblins one day. And as they are small, they will definitely attack my legs. Its main parts were made of Mithril while joints were connected by tough leather which had Mithril chainmail stuck on the inside. Also my knees had Mithril spikes to act as a weapon.

My shoes were again made of Mithril while covered with leather on the inside to provide some comfort.

My helmet was also made of Mithril while it was covered with leather on the inside to soften the blow. Although it was open from the front unlike Goblin slayer's helmet. The reason – I didn't want to compromise my field of vision if I had to fight in the daylight. It covered my head, ears, chin and my neck. There was no space between my armor, although I could cover all of my head like goblin slayer by sliding a part to the front of the helmet that rests on the top.

All in all, my whole armor was super lightweight so my speed also didn't get affected – much. Well it was tons better than the steel one, that's for sure. I also have a similar one but it's made of steel. And trust me it is heavier than this and decreases the speed marginally. I just had it just for emergency case.

Last but not least was a small black cloth which was enchanted by yours truly to block harmful gases. I would later learn that it doesn't block the smell of shit and blood though.

As for my weapons – I had 4 enchanted blades on me. First was a normal sized bastard sword for fighting in open space, perfect for me. 2 short swords, perfect for fighting in closed spaces like caves, and 1 dagger for multi purposes.

Thankfully I wouldn't need my Bastard Sword for the Goblins so I left it there.

All weapons were enchanted to be forever sharp and everlasting by again – yours truly. The enchantments were not something difficult. But the enchanters were very rare. A simple enchantment to any weapon adds zero to their cost. Most enchantment for the weapon is for everlasting and sharpness.

Unfortunately I couldn't enchant armor that easily. And it is not worth the effort. I was a growing boy after all. I didn't want to enchant an armor which wouldn't be fitting me in a year. In fact it's been more than 6 months since I modified it. It is starting to constrict again. I will have to modify it sometime soon.

When I reach my proper height, only then will I enchant my armor. Till then I can make do with this one. Moreover enchantments are not forever.

Although my swords are enchanted, they will lose their enchantments over time and use. A simple sword could be used to deal with 5 people as it chips away with fat and blood. Sometimes it even breaks when it crosses hard bones of hard creatures. People like me who are skilled in ways of sword could kill 8 to 10 people with it. And with a Mithril sword the number could raise up the number to 30 or you could say that it triples. And if we use a basic enchanted blade it could kill 20 to 25 times.

But then again Mithril could store more magic and thus more enchantments. But that is for the future when I will need to face strong monsters. That time I will need powerful weapon to combat them.

(.'. Mithril is a metal which is stronger and lighter than steel)

By my estimation I could use my weapon to kill approx 200 to 250 beings before it break away as my weapons were made of steel with basic enchantments.

Mithril is quite costly than steel. 1 Kilo of Mithril is same price as 5 Kilo Steel so having steel weapons was more profitable. I could easily enchant some other sword if this breaks away. Although it uses 10% of my magic reserves of a day to enchant just 1 normal sword…..I am just so awesome.

I didn't use steel armor as Mithril armor was more profitable after all a nick could be fatal if your luck is bad. Weight was one of the big factors too. It was like I said, for emergencies.

I fastened 2 short swords on both my sides and hid the dagger on my thigh. I also had an Adventure's Tool Kit, some dried meat, a water skin in my pouch on the left. Don't know when I would need them.

I took 3 small bottles of potion in my other pouch. 1 was healing potion, 1 was stamina potion and the last was antidote potion. All 3 bottles were enchanted to be unbreakable by yours truly.

Feeling ready for the quest, I took off in the direction of the village.

It took me only 1 and half hour to get there. I was on the road for half an hour when I saw my ride to the village. It was going in the same direction and charged just a copper for the ride. It got some protection and I got my ride. Usually they charge extra but my protection discounted some of the cost. Well he asked for more but I bargained him down.

Reaching there I met with the village chief who reported the quest. First thing on the quest is to collect all the information from the quest giver.

The village was quite big in my opinion. There has also been 1 raid last night. The goblins tried to kidnap a maiden but the villagers drove them off. 4 more young men got injured in the struggle. Fortunately no one got murdered.

They didn't know how many of the goblins were there exactly but after asking from everyone it turned out to be number 6. They also don't remember their conditions as the goblins usually attacked in the night.

'And they could be more than that' I mused. Still I don't think that anyone was leading them. I asked them if the number of goblins has increased but they were quite clueless in that regard too.

Thankfully they knew from which direction they came from.

I was pretty sure that they had some cave for their nest. And I was right. It took me only 20 minutes to find their cave.

The cave appeared abruptly in the middle of the forest just beyond the village. How long had it been there? None of the villagers remembered. It seemed as though it had been there forever—and yet, at the same time, it was like the cave had only just recently come to be, in a flash. Most probably the goblin themselves dug it up. Such an impression was common here in the world, which had not been under human development for very long.

Every part of the world was continually changing. Even among the elves there was none who knew the exact geography of all places. And now, goblins had made a home in this cave. Were they stragglers, survivors from some battle? Or just wild creatures, nobody knew.

What people did know was that goblins had appeared out of that cave, attacked the village, stolen some livestock, and finally tried to kidnap a woman.

'A common tale' I thought. Including the part where someone came to the Adventurers Guild to file a quest. Thankfully they did it before some woman was actually kidnapped.

Now, I faced the mouth of the cave, hiding myself in the forest undergrowth, waiting intently for time to go by. The sun had passed its zenith and was working its way down through the sky. I spent quite some time before twilight in observation.

It was my first time seeing any goblins in person. Sure I have seen them in both my lives but only as a drawing. They were small sized creature with a green skin. Although they truly looked evil even by their looks, No woman would willingly sleep with any of them for any price, that's for sure.

The goblins went in and out of their nest, showing no sign of noticing me. The guards didn't take their jobs seriously, standing around almost; it seemed, out of habit. They didn't look starved to me.

'Most probably as they are feeding on the livestock and crops they stole from the village' I theorized.

The patrol changed every hour. This meant there were at least 6 Goblins for sure as they had to patrol for 12 hours.

I couldn't see any totem so shaman was also out of the picture. And without shaman, there would be no hob. Or it could be – I wasn't sure now. If they had hob then they would have attacked with him. Still I was 90% sure that they were only some wanderers. I wasn't sure that they hadn't kidnapped some girl from the caravans and such. And so smoking them out wasn't an option as it could cause the death of the woman.

I briefly thought whether the death will be merciful to her or not. I shook my thought from these dark thoughts.

'I have to remember that Sword Maiden herself got up after the torture the goblins put her through. Moreover she became a gold rank adventurer which was pretty damn impressive' I reminded myself

It seemed I will have to go in. I sighed and decided to get ready. The goblins I saw were coming and going carrying weapons, sword and clubs mostly. I just watched them and tried to breathe as quietly as possible. They are cowards for sure. If they get some hint that I was here, they will flee.

Knowing they will be waking up in some 2 hours as it was 2 hours before the evening, I decided to attack when there was still some light. I stepped out of the bushes carefully not wanting to alert them by making noise. Just as a goblin came to change the shift; I picked up 2 heavy stones and threw them towards the goblins.

Oh I forgot to mention. I am also ambidextrous. Knowing it would be very useful in future, I trained from the start in using both of my hands.

'Thwack' 'Thwack'

The stones directly impacted onto their skull making them bleed. They didn't even know before dying. Their skull caved in from the stones. The bastards didn't even have time to scream. I would have loved to torture these things to death as they torture girls but I was on a mission. Culling them is the very least I could do.

I slowly approached the cave entrance as silently as I could. Fun fact: Their blood is not Red, instead it is green. I wasn't sure how and chalked it up to magic.

First things first – I checked whether they were alive or not by slicing their necks clean. I didn't want to give them any chance to attack.

'2 done' I mentally counted as I swiped my blades clean from their loincloths and placed into its scabbard. I took the sword from one of the goblin. It was a little small than my twin swords. It was rusty. Still it was perfectly usable. Goblins are numerous and I don't want to waste any coin in getting new weapon when I can use theirs. The second goblin had a club as a weapon. I discarded that as it was the size of my wand and probably useless.

I also noticed that my cloth do not hide scent of blood.

'I will have to add enchantments to it' I mused. But then again it will be beneficial if I get used to smell of shit and blood. I nodded in my mind and decided against enchanting the cloth for blocking the smell of shit and blood.

Next thing I did was used a spell to hide my body, scent and sound totally. It was actually first thing I learnt instead of fireball, lightning strike or thunder bolt.

Initially I actually used 3 different spells to hide each – scent, sound and body. But with time I learnt to be more efficient. Now I only needed a spell to do it although it uses little more than 6% of my magical reserves instead of 4% that a normal spell takes.

I was so much adept at this that I didn't need to verbalize it. But its potency reduces vastly if I didn't verbalize so I just murmured the chant. And lo behold the spell was complete. It was already tried and tested so I wasn't worried about its failure.

Moreover I wasn't worried over using all my spells for the day. Although I wrote that I could only use 3 spells in a day, I could actually use more than two dozen (25) spells. I only wrote 3 as it was the highest I could go without making them suspicious. A newbie able to use 25 spells. Like that would go right.

So how I could use so much spells?

It was all thanks to an idea.

I noticed in my early years that most wizards use staff (or staves as they usually called) for the spells or some even without them. So I did an experiment and made a wand. I used a heartstring of a ferocious dragon that an adventurer killed recently then. I admit I copied this idea from Harry potter but it's not important. The most important thing is it worked. Although much of it was trial and error initially, I still made a wand for me after a year.

Most of trial and error was spent in carving runes and deciding which wood was best useful. I had to check my and the dragon heartstring's compatibility with the wood too. I experimented with different woods from yew to elder. I didn't use any other core as the dragons were the most powerful magical beasts. Some could even talk.

So instead of a stave I made a wand. Well it was not proper wand and more like a club. It was smaller than the staves but a lot bigger and heavier than wands, that was shown in harry potter movies. Still with the help of this I could use much more spells.

My wand was 25 inches long and 2 inches in girth. Its core was a heartstring of a dragon and its wood was from 7000 year's old Elder tree. It was the only tree that I could find which was the oldest. I could have used some other tree and I even used it but it was less efficient compared to now.

I didn't tell anyone else about the wand as this info could get to the evil faction and I wasn't going to give them any advantage; At least not before the upcoming war. This doesn't mean that I won't share this knowledge. It's just that very hard to trust someone who would not use it for nefarious deeds.

Moreover nobody would easily believe me, not until I could prove them my worth. I could have shared it when I was a prince but then too they might have didn't trust me due to my eccentric nature. Well my nature is eccentric for them, but perfectly good from where I come from.

From some other perspective it would look like a torch was floating on its own as I was totally invisible. The spell only hid the body and the armor or anything the person was wearing.

Now to get inside – I will need light to see. A light source could give away my position to anyone in sights. Moreover the goblins could easily find me in dark without even the torch due to their unique eye sight. What I wouldn't give for heat sensing goggles. In the end there was only 1 option. I took a torch from my Adventure tool kit and lit it up. It could also be used as a club.

Suddenly I got an idea. I kicked myself for not thinking it before. For god's sake it was a common spell in the harry potter. I am talking about 'Lumos' and 'Nox' spells. Well next time I will definitely use it after making it from the scratch.

I also covered all of my head with the helmet by sliding the panel. I will need it as I was going to fight in the dark anyways. I did not want to get killed by a stray arrow (if they have those). I could now see with only a slit in front of my eyes. Step by step it was getting darker.

A sword I liberated from the goblin in my right hand and torch in my left, I traversed the cave as silently as I could. Although I have masked my sounds, the goblins could easily find me from the torch light. I made sure to look around on the path for the side tunnels. Fortunately there were no side tunnels in the cave. I double checked just to be sure.

It didn't take me much time to reach the main chamber. They were all sleeping without any care in the world, thinking that the guard would alert them of the danger. The smell of shit and piss was 10 times strong from before. With inhumane effort I controlled my bowels and withheld a grimace.

Before I could get distracted again, I placed the torch on the ground once I got used to the smell. That way the whole room was lit up and I could see easily. I also uncovered my face by sliding the panel back as I didn't want to miss any goblin. And then with that I killed the largest goblin among them by stabbing the sword through the mouth so that he does not scream and alert others.

The goblin I killed was a bit bigger than the rest of them and looked like to be the leader.

'Maybe he is transitioning into his higher form' I wondered.

I twisted the sword as extra precaution to make sure he would die without making any sound. Still the bastard made some noise when he was choking down on his own blood. The other Goblins started to wake up from the sound.

Still they were groggy from the sleep so I had some time to finish them off. I took out the sword from his neck while deftly ignoring the blood squirting out from his neck and sent it through the face of the nearby goblin. I noticed that other 2 goblins were somewhat awake and reaching to their respective weapons.

Knowing the blade was already useless to me by blood and fat; I picked up the axe lying beside the corpse of the leader and threw it to the nearest goblin. It got struck into his chest and he easily went down. I wasn't sure if he was killed but he was definitely out of commission for now. The last goblin took the situation and made for the run.

'Not on my watch' I thought.

I wasn't going to let him escape. He will only learn from this encounter and spread suffering. I picked up a big stone from the ground and threw with all my might. It struck his head dead on. He went down and didn't move at all. Blood pooled around him and other goblins. I was breathing hard when I was done. I took a moment to myself to calm my breathing.

Still I checked on all of the goblins to make sure they were dead.

They were. I was half expecting them to try to kill me or make a break for it. But they were clearly dead.

Now that they were dead I sighed in relief. I don't know how but just killing those 6 took a little toll on me. Like I said, I was breathing a little hard in the end.

Now that the danger was over, I looked around the main hall of the cave.

Truthfully it was a mess. Bones of small animals were lying around. Bits and pieces of some carcass were also there. Thankfully there was no woman that they had kidnapped as I couldn't see any corpse or human bones. There were also no hidden chambers. I was very thorough in checking. Truthfully I didn't want to kill goblin children today no matter how they turn out to be.

I would have done it though. Thankfully there were none.

In the end I piled their corpses outside the cave and divested them of their weapons. There were 3 clubs and an axe which were usable. I already used the other sword during the massacre. I took them and placed them on my belt. I already made sure that my belt could carry extra weapons when I ordered it to be made just for this type of situation. With that I turned back to the cave.

With a long breath I swished my wand and sealed the cave. It took nearly a minute to do that and about 40% of my magical reserve. That was equivalent to 10 spells. With 1 and a half spell, I used in the starting to mask the senses and a half spell, used to start a campfire in the morning to cook breakfast; the number came to be 12. I had 13 more spells to go. Well I had 8-10 spells more to go in truth.

The thing is – I always make sure to try to use more than 3/4th of my magical reserve every day. So that it increases a little bit the next day. It was a perfectly tested method to increase the magical reserve. More than 95% risk getting magical exhaustion and less than 30% doesn't do anything, much. The best outcome was to use 70-90% of magical reserve. And that meant using 18 to 23 spells.

I also tied all the goblins to a rope and carried them back. The battle only took 10 minutes in total so there was still light for little less than 2 hours. The walk back to the village was quite soothing. Adrenaline already wore off and with it came some fatigue. By the time I reached there, my masking spell came undone.

I left the goblins on the edge of the forest. I drank some water from the river and went directly to the village chief who was talking to a man.

Seeing me walking in their direction, the man pointed me out to the chief just when I reached there.

"It is done" I said to him making my presence known.

"Oh! Thank you very much for killing those Goblins" He said turning to me. Relief and happiness were clear in his voice.

"There were 6 in total. Corps and livestock were already eaten when I reached there. I only salvaged these 5 crude weapons" I told him showing the weapons. I asked him if he wanted any which he nodded so I had to part with them. I wasn't stingy. I was already well off.

"There was something I was meaning to ask" I said to him to which he just nodded

"Can the goblin meat be used to feed the pigs in your village?" I asked him wanting to know an answer. I thought about this while I was in capital but I couldn't exactly ask anyone without getting laughed at. Usually the monster's corpse is just left there or burnt off in some rare cases. In my opinion it was waste of perfectly good meat.

He was taken aback at my question.

"Err we haven't tried it before but we can do that now" He said after mulling about it.

"Make sure to do that and tell me about the outcome. I will come back whenever I get free" I took a pause before continuing "And In case if the pig dies, I will even compensate you" "Be sure to tell me which parts are poisonous. Also burn their corpses in the case, whole body is poisonous" I suggested to him before turning away and walking away. Suddenly I remembered something.

I turned back "The cave where the goblins were living. It is just 20 minute away in the middle of forest. It would have only used by other goblins in future so I sealed it up. Still it is a good place for the goblins to live. So make sure to check it every few days" I said.

"How will we find the place?" He asked

"You will find some clues of skirmish taking place there. Trust you can easily find it" I said before walking away

Unfortunately for me nobody was going back to the city so I had to travel by foot.

'I will need to buy a horse for travelling fast' I mused as I reached the guild. Seriously time wasted in travelling was quite much. A Horse would certainly be a boon. With it I can do 2-3 quests like this every day. It will cut back the travelling time by at least 80% by my estimation.

It took me 2 and half an hour to reach the Guild. Knowing I wouldn't be able to take another quest, I jogged to the water town to burn some energy. It was also a good way to remain in shape and increase the stamina. I took a break in between. What? You thought I could run for 2 and half hour straight? That's adorable.

I can't. I am still 14 year old boy. Well this body is still 14 years old. I had to take a few break in between.

In the break I cooked the meat jerky. I also cleaned my armor when I took a little rest. I did them with half a spell each. It was one invention of mine. That brought my total number of spell usage to 13 with 12 spells remaining.

By the time I reached there, the Guild was filled with all the adventurers who came back after doing the quest. They were telling or regaling their story to each other. I tuned them out as I didn't want to hear their lie filled story. What they tell and what actually happened are totally different thing. I zeroed on the receptionist. Thankfully she was still there.

The receptionist at first didn't recognize me although she was clearly surprised when she saw my tag. Like I said she probably thought I was going to die. She gave me the reward money after checking the quest sheet which I had to get signed from the quest giver.

Yeah many new adventurers were also surprised when they learnt that information. The guild also checks on the quest giver to confirm too. Again this idea was of yours truly. And if for some reason quest giver died or was unavailable then Guild only gives the adventurer money after checking on the village and confirming that the quest is complete. This continues until the adventurer built a little trust in the guild. It was a great way to avoid con adventurers.

As it was already dark, I took off to my place to crash. Today was quite big day and I wasn't in any shape to take any new quest. Nor was there any time to do it. Come to think of it I haven't actually rested properly in last 4 days since I was exiled.

I took off my helmet when I reached near the farm. With a thud I dropped my armor and my helmet in the trunk. I wasn't in any position to use any more spells. I was physically exhausted. Still I preserved and swished the wand to clean my room. It used up a spell to fully clean the room as it was very dirty instead of half a spell it normally uses. All the dust was placed in the corner.

I also set up basic protection wards. It stops anyone to magically spy on me. It also stops anyone with harmful intention from coming in by zapping them. If the person tries again, then the zapping level increases from low pain to high pain and then death level. It also paralyze them for 20 hours so I can see who wants me harm.

The warding spell took 7.5 spells worth of my magical reserve totaling my spell usage to 21. And that wouldn't last for more than a day. I will need to properly enchant the walls to increase the length of warding spell. Then again I didn't want my efforts to go waste if for some reason I had to ditch this place.

'I will need to look for a permanent base. Maybe some type of warehouse' I mused

By the time I was done, I was ready to drop at any moment. My eyelids were dropping from exhaustion. I decided to leave the thought of residence for tomorrow.

I was asleep before I even hit the bed.

…..…..

And, done with the first chapter (8.1k+ words)

So how did you like the 1st chapter? Be sure to comment and leave suggestions. I have already decided to add Sword Maiden as the lead Harem Member. I was also thinking of adding Alchemist. You can tell me which female character would you like MC paired with.

On further Note: This is just a trial run. I won't update another chapter until English version of Volume 10 is released. But then again I might update. It all depends on the mood.
