Akihisa's point of view

I was walking through the streets after school like I always did I wasn't going home I was going to meet someone down town.

I soon came to the down town park away from everyone form school so far down no one knew me or her. Yuuko.

I saw her and called out she smiled and me and ran up to me and hugged me, I held her tight. For the longest time we've been secretly dating avoiding the FFF, and her twin. I quickly gave her a kiss and she returned it little did I know it would be the last time for the longest time!"

We broke apart when we heard a scream and we turned I quickly put her behind me as I saw who it was it was Himeji and she was holding a pocket knife.

She was growling, "how dare you date someone who isn't me!" her normal sweet voice removed as she ran at me and drove the knife into my stomach! Yuuko screamed as did people around me!

People were calling the cops as she kicked me to the ground and kept stabbing me, I could hear her say, "I've want you and even had a shrine to you sense we were kids! AND YOU DO ME LIKE THIS!"

So this is how I die by a stalker who I thought was my friend after kissing my girlfriend the light left me my eyes as the world fade too black, the last think I heard was Yuuko screaming my name in fear and seeing her tears.

At least she's the last thing I see. Then when all went black it suddenly came back I tried to move my hand only to see a green small little clawed hand where it should be I was confused when I saw a small old very long bearded goblin is the best thing I could call him looking at me.

He smiled and said, "Well aren't you a hyper little young one, I don't know why but something is telling me to name you Akihisa, but sense magic can hurt you badly if people know your real name let's call you Gobuhisia."

I then looked around to see baby goblins I looked at my hand it was the same as theirs I don't know how but, I don't' want to think it, but I have too.

I've died and been reborn in a world of magic and monsters as a goblin! A goblin! Why not an elf, or even an imp! I mean there isn't much difference between Goblin and imp, but an imp has wings and can fly! It would have been a step up!

I mean I get a got dam second chance and I'm the lowest point of the fantasy world, I then felt myself drifting to sleep, well I did just die and was reborn so I guess I'm sleepy. FUCK YOU HIMEJI! I'LL FIND SOME MAGICAL AWAY TO RETURN HOME AND EVEN THE SCORE BITCH!"

That was the last thing I thought before I fell asleep.

When I woke up I sat up and was puzzled, I was just born I should have been able to sit up yet, I then looked out through the cave I could see the sun coming up, it's been a day. I looked at myself and sat up, I was already close to being a grade schooler in size.

I looked at myself I was only in a loincloth and I noticed the other new borns sleeping the same size as me already.

..we all aging quickly. This means we'll all grow old and die sooner… My new life is a short one! I growled as it hit me, I just died and I'm already knocking on deaths door because I'm a weak quick aging goblin, I'll probably die sooner this time around then in my old life!

I stood up and took a deep breath, fine I have a short new life well might as well make sure I'm lived to its fullest! Yuuko's image popped in to my head, I'll live I'll learn this time! I'll find a way home so I can have revenge and see her one last time!"

A few days later I noticed something about the other goblin they just sat around all day doing nothing and getting food form the older generation.

While I was swinging around a stick that was big enough to be a staff in my short goblin hands, are they really so stupid they thing the adults will just keep feeding us?

An adult came out and said, "ok time for you all to hunt for yourselves! You're not free loading anymore."

They all gasped and I was just fine with it. I notice another Goblin who had picked up a large stick which was like a club with him, while the others head out unarmed.

I looked at this goblin he was clearly smarter than the rest, but not as smart as me as he hadn't done so before now. Me the smartest of a group! Anything is possible.

Point of view switch to third.

Gobuhisa put a hand on the other goblin's shoulder, "I'm Gobuhisa you?"

The goblin then said "Gobukichi!"

Our other worlder smiled as he said, "look it's the first time any of us have hunt and as we are both smart enough to take something to hit prey with how about we work together and split our kill, after all it'll be easier if you have a helping hand."

Gobukichi then said, "ok whatever." The two then headed out and spotted a rabbit with a horn almost as big as them.

Gobuhisa formally Akihisa then said "look it has a horn this'll be easy we just get its attention it charges we move out of the way it gets its horn stuck in a tree then we whack it dead!"

GobuKichi then said, "then we eat!" He then picked up some rocks and throw it at the rabbit, "Hay horned rabbit over here we are goblins come get it!"

The Rabbit then charged super-fast and both young goblins ducked out of the way and it got its horn stuck in a tree.

At which point both goblins hit its head with their sticks the horn snapped off as it's skull broke killing it.

Gobuhisa then pulled out the horn and looked at it to him he saw a box saying, "you know own a horned rabbit horn." He looked confused as Gobukichi ripped the thing in half.

Gobukichi throw Gobuhisa one half and said, "it worked. Who knew!" Gobuhisa saw him about to leave and he said, "Gobukichi wait, look you're clearly the strongest, and I'm clearly the smartest goblin!

Gobukichi rubbed his chin, "well yes, I can see that what are you getting at?"

Gobuhisa then said, "look would you have come up with the plan that's letting us eat by yourself?" the other goblin shook his head no.

Gobuhisa then said, "then let's stay teammates and friends. We can work together with my brains and your brawn we'll never go hungry."

The two then shook hands and went to rip skin off there kill and eat.

While eating Gobuhisa saw a box pop up and say, "Skills learned escape and charge!" Making him look confused.

A few days later Gobuhisa point of view.

I was eating more horned rabbit with GobuKichi this time we cooked it and were sitting by said cooking fire. As I eat it I saw box saying charge and escape enhanced.

It was like I was in an RPG I gain skills levels and object form my kills, and if it's an rpg that most mean there is a evolution system like in games, so I had a talk with goblin grandpa a few days about the possibility of growing so strong I would change into something else.

Flash back.

After I asked my question Goblin Grandpa smiled and said, "why yes you can get strong enough to turn into something. It's called ranking up. When you reach level one hundred and done enough things for a path to open you turn into that new creature. The straight line for us goblins is Hobgoblin then ogre. But some actions can change this, you might even turn into a never before seen monster. And ranking up and age gives rewards."

End flash back.

I growled at the member as I eat, goblin females are mostly infertile so they use captured human girls! Disgusting! I will rank up just so I can do something about that! And put an end to it! I will change this goblins form savage beast into a race!

I then heard a girl's voice say, "you're eating horned rabbit you're that strong!" I then turned to see a girl goblin she was just as short as us but she had hair and looked more human. Also instead of a loincloth she was dressed in a simple sawed together dress

I then said, "what are you talking about you just move out of the after they charge and you hit them in the head while they are trying too free their horn form a tree!"

Gobukichi then finished for me by saying, "then bam you have lunch!"

The girl Goblin named Gobumi said, "be quite you I'm talking to the cute one!"

I blinked all male goblins look the same, "But we all look alike like?"

Gobumi blushed and said, "your modest too come on you look way cooler than your average friend over there. "She then looked at something next to me and asked, "what's that?"

I then picked it up it was a stick with a piece of horned rabbit fur on tied on it, making a sling shot, I load a rock in to it and fired it at a stalagmite knocking it's point over. "Sling shot it throws rocks."

Gobumi gasped," you're so smart!" I blinked at the comment every goblin has been saying that and I'm still not use to it.

I then handed it to her, "here you give it a try!" she then blushed.

Later on we were in the forest the three off us and Gobumi was shooting rocks she gathered at seven colored snaked knocking them out. She then fired a stone that explode into a fireball when it hit making her gasp.

Gobumi blinked "What just happened?"

I then looked into her rock back and found a stone like the one show fired it was different there was a faint energy coming off it so I eat it and saw a box saying "Spirit stone type lighting eaten skill gained shock touch!"

I looked at my hand and it sparked like a teaser as I said, "It was a spirit stone a rock with elemental powers the one I just at was lighting!"

Gobukichi then said, "so now you got a lighting hang because of your power to get the powers of whatever you eat."

I nodded.

Gobumi gasped, "YOU HAVE A SUPER POWER!" At that moment I understood it! This ability of mine is not normal! It's a super power no one else has! I'm a goblin super hero!"

A seven colored snake got back up and tried to strike at Mi while her focus was on me so I pushed her out of the way while screaming "Look out! Shock touch!" I then grabbed the snake and it was teased making it fall over dead smoking and cooked.

Gobukichi then pulled out his club now full of horned rabbit horns giving it spikes, "Now let's kill the rest before they wake up so we can get eating already!"

I then said, "That's the smartest thing you've ever said Kichi!"

Later on we are back in the cave crafting I had just made a stone knife when Goblin grandpa walked over to me and petted my head saying, "that's it brainy boy keep making us things to kill with so we don't' starve!"

I blinked and noticed now other goblins had started to copy me Gobukichi and now Gobumi, carrying sticks as clubs and rocks for throwing. I was teaching them without trying. Me teaching? How would have believed it?

I took a moment to think back on my super power, it wasn't strong on its own as it didn't give me anything to fight with till I won, and even then It was only running away and tackling. Now I had a teaser touch.

Plus, the snakes gave me poison immunity and venom infusion, which let me add venom to any attack or simple make it appear in a container.

I've also found and eaten a fire spirit stone and I can now throw a fireball. The power it's self may not be much but with the ability to stockpile powers I would become mighty over time.

I thought about the skill tree system of the humans and elves. I think it's unfair elves get both. Anyway skill tree is like in a game get job and work through its class to get stronger. It's not as powerful as a full body upgrade, but they get stronger quicker so it averaged out.

I thought about it for a moment, monster can't get job class or skill trees. Only elves, humans, and half humans could, so I took a bite out of one of them, would I get their job class? Could one little bite give me all the skills someone worked their whole lives to master?

Could I really cheat that much to get power? I could I really bite off a wizards finger and gain all the magical power skills and knowledge they spent their life learning and gain in just moments?

I then saw a goblin group of two boys saying" Hay Chief can you maybe start a fire so we can cook this snake?"

I blinked at the title Chief? They think I'm their leader? I then throw a fireball on a pile of sticks making a fire start and they said, "thanks chief" they then left.

I'm the leader of the goblins? But I'm only a month old!? Well only biologically, mentally I'm eighteen. Wait! Did I just used those big words right? What the hell? I then thought about it predator and prey have to try and outsmart each other in order to survive.

And I've been eating things clearly smarter than a normal goblin, … could this power of mine be giving me an IQ boost based on what I eat? It's it making me smarter? I'm scaring myself here! I hope Yuuko's ok!

Point of view change to third.

Back in his old world Yuuko was laying in her bed sad looking a picture of her and Akihisa crying.

She whipped her tears, 'It's not fair! I found the one person who didn't view me as Hideyoshi's double and some stalker bitch takes him from me right after we kiss." She cried and touched her lip as she said, "It's not fair!"

She then closed her eyes and cried more.

Yuuko's point of view.

I've been like this sense he died last month, I cried all through the funeral I cried so much I ran out of school, and now I haven't left my bed room, the tears won't stop!

I see him everywhere. In my dreams his there! I then heard something and sat up eyes open and a little scared no one came in my room not my parents not my twin no one! They all just leave me be!

I then saw something on my desk and got up to look at it, it was a book titled the story of the otherworlders. It looked old and medieval. On the cover was what looked like a tall human like goblin with dark grey skin, who looked like Akihisa with pointed ears fangs and red eyes.

I don't know where this came form so I opened it up it was a story book that start with a picture of Himeji killing Akihisa, my eyes widen as I read the clearly intent book. "It all began when a boy abused by all but the woman he loved a relationship kept secret to keep himself was killed by a lady he thought was a friend."

My eyes widened as I read it more and it showed the picture of some kind of angle sadly looking over Akihsia's body and a crying me, "So sad for the two young lovers the god of space and time felt he allowed the boy to be reborn in another world as a goblin. And sent his tome to the girl so she could know what was happening to her true love."

I dropped the book and backed away from it! NO NO NO! there is no such thing as magic and monsters!" the book then stood up and turned its page and the words high light themselves as it read itself, "she want to pretend the clear magic wasn't real but she knew deep in her heart it was real, and this book which she is scared of is her only hope of seeing her prince charming once more!"

I fell over on my book in shock the book was talking and reading it's self I held my hands out and said, "ok ok you're a real magic book!

It then flapped like a bird to fly into my lap and I read it it's what the living magical book send by a god clearly want me to do. I read it up to the point where Akihsia was scared by his new power to gain the powers of whatever he eats

Return to third person point of view.

Yuuko then read aloud, "the next morning his life would change as he would awoke ranked up into a hobgoblin!"

Back in the world of monsters and magic.

It was night and a ranked up Akihisa, now looking like his old self with dark grey skin, redeyes point ears fangs and claws. He was dressed now in a white shirt and animal belt pants.

Gobuhisa slash Akihisa's point of view.

I was burning the bodies of the three women as soon as I ranked up I saw them broken and empty shells I left behind a bottle of my poison and said, "I'm sorry for what has happened I'll make sure it won't happen again, if you want out here is the poison. And whichever one of you is my mother thank you for giving me my second life!"

Next morning, they were died and I quickly blamed it on them being abused to the point that they could live longer and I got all the goblins to agree to a system where woman chose one who's child she wants to have. Now they didn't understand limits to the number of woman so while they agreed a marriage system was better it's a harem marriage system.

Still a big step. As I burned them I took bites of their fingers I had to know. I did gain their skills and job classes, I got human langue, the druid wizard job class, sword fighter job class, and blacksmith job class.

Plus, most of all it was payment for ending their pain and giving them a warrior's funeral in fire.

I looked at my hands and made a fist, I had my face back thanks to this rank up I shared with Gobukichi. He likewise became a hobgoblin but he was a normal one who still had green skin.

Goblin grandpa explained why our skin was different colors, I was a variant my skin stained to match the color of the god who's blessing I have, the god of space and time. He said this means I was someone who died in a different world and was reborn here.

He said how my smarts made sense now I was a give to the goblins form a god sent to teach them so they can control the forest as alpha predator instead of mostly being prey.

Now that's not how the goblins who weren't grandpa, Gobukichi, or still a normal goblin Gobumi reacted, they attack me and tried to make me hunt for them all. So I told them I would teach them the art of killing so they could hunt for themselves.

Mi thinks I am too nice to forgive them for trying to force me to hunt for them all, and saying I would train them.

But in the end they'll either be a help of just living shields to keep the important players like my self Gobukichi and even Gobumi safe.

I turned away from the fire and left I have the druid wizard job class along with the other sub job class it took to get that one. It was healing magic based. But as generic wizard was part of it, I hope I can develop it just as good as a human now that I have it.

I need to develop the wizard job class into a more power based sub class, followed by transport based. If I can level up transport based just maybe I can go back to my old world for a while, and kill Himeji to avenge my own death, then see Yuuko one last time!

I whipped a tear form my eye, not a day goes by that I don't think of you Yuuko.

Return to third person point of view.

In her world Yuuko was in tears as she read that a tear fell on the book as she smiled, "What has dying done to you Akihisa!" she then closed the book and held it.

Yuuko's point of view

I held the book my only connection to Akihisa and my only hope of seeing him again. I read his actions he's growing colder in the new world, but who came blame him his whole race is looked down on by the world.

The book then forced itself, open to reveal a map saying, within a cave is a portal that connects this world to the world of magic and monsters it opens for one day once a year.

I smiled as I cried this was it the day it's opened is in a week, I'll follow the map to it cross over then find Akihisa to bring joy back into his heart, but I may need help form this Gobumi girl.

I then smiled as I fell asleep dreaming of being held in Akihisa's hobgoblin arms.

We'll be together again Akihisa, I don't' care if I have to share you.

To be continued.
