Hello and welcome to my Goblin Slayer fanfic! I hope you enjoy this rather experimental fanfic of mine, as I have plans for further development of the main character!

A few things to keep in mind:

-The story is told from the POV of the main character.

-It will mostly focus on his growth, impact and relationship with the new world around him.

-Goblin Slayer will appear! (I mean, this is Goblin Slayer, after all!) Besides him, other known characters will appear as well like Priestess, Elf Archer, Guild Girl and so on!

-Exploring the world and the creatures inhabiting it.

Well, that is all for now. Have a nice read!

Darkness.

That was all I saw at first. A seemingly endless darkenss that can easily break the mind of men. Make your skin shiver, mess your senses and destroy even the little amount of hope for salvation.

I wanted to scream. But when I tried, I couldn't hear my voice. In fact, I didn't feel ANYTHING. My arms, feet, torso, head... nothing. I felt absolutely no part of my body. All there was to it was my mind, which was being constantly tortured by the dark.

Oh, God... It hurts. It hurts so much. Please make it stop. The voices, they won't stop whispering... No, I won't beg for mercy... Fuck off, shithead, you don't deserve to begged for forgivness. Ha, what was that? Eternal suffering, you say? What is this, some kind of an afterlife?

...

Wait a minute.

Am I dead?

AM I ACTUALLY DEAD?

No! This can't be! I'm not supposed to be dead! Imposibble! But then again, if I really am dead, this would explain this mysterious darkness. Even so, the thought, no, the possibility that I'm actually, undoubtedly, DEAD - ME, of all people, is unbeliaveble.

When did this happen? How did this happen? Why haven't I noticed it sooner? Why now? Where am I? What the fuck is this palce? Am I going to be judged? Jesus Christ, why isn't no one answearing my questions? Isn't there supposed to be some kind of a holy figure? You know, the type that will lay out the most recent events to me that lead to my demise? What a shitty afterlife.

Hey, if someone is out there and can hear my thoug- SHUT THE FUCK UP, YOU FUCKING CUNT! I DON'T GIVE TWO SHITS ABOUT YOU!

...

Silence. No response. Good. I was getting pretty irritated. Now, where was I? Oh, yeah, my call for someone or something around here to respond, if it can hear my thoughts.

Wait, "hear thoughts"? Man, that sounds retarted.

"The same can be said about you, too."

!

"What?", I thought to myself. "Who's there?!"

"Can't you tell yourself? You and had quite the history together when both us were alive."

This voice...

"Sounds familliar, doesn't it?", said another voice. Then a second, a third and many other. Each one of them was whispering, some were even talking or screaming in horror. I also managed to hear some whimpering, but that was nothing in comparision to the screams. Damn, if I had ears, they would be bleeding already.

"I wish I still had arms so that I could strangle you bastard."

Woah, that's a little a bit harsh for a creepy voice inside my head. What gives?

"Seriously?", asked the second voice with anger. "With everything that has happend in the past, you dare to ask such a question?"

Hold on, did that one just answeared my question? Can they hear what I'm thinking at the moment?

"Unfortunately, yes. Every single one of us, in fact.", said the third voice.

Really? Finally, I'm making some progress around here. Alright dear friends of mine, can you answear a few questions for me?

"We are not your friends."

And I don't care. Mind telling what the hell is happening at the moment?

Instead of a response, all I got was laughter. Everyone was laughing at me. Apperantly I just asked a very silly question. Great, just great. I hope this doesn't go on for long.

"Are you kidding?", said someone of the million of those little fuckers. "Are you really not aware of what is happening right now? At this very moment?"

No, I don't. Please enlighten me, oh great voices of wisdom.

"Fascinating", replied another one. "Even in death, you still act like a colossal piece of shit. I guess some people never change."

Yeah, yeah, I'm handsome and all, but what is going on? If I'm dead, for some strange reason, what happens next?

"You aren't dead for some strange reason. Your time has finally come. And now you will be judged."

...

...

Huh, I guess I really am dead. Well, whatever. Since I'm no longer alive then I guess nothing worse can happen afterward.

"Oh, but there is", giggled some female voice. It sounded very creepy. "Powerful and unknown forces will determine what happens to your soul."

"And your punishment will be one that all of us will gladly enjoy", added a male voice. "Because no matter what, it will be severe."

"There is no escape."

"You will suffer."

"You will pay for what you have done."

"There is no escape..."

"Are you afraid?"

"What's wrong? Why don't you speak?"

"The time has finally come!"

"YOU ARE GOING TO BE SEND TO ETERNAL DAMNTAION!"

Yawn. Are you finally finished with your speech of how "now you're gonna get it"? I feel like I might fall asleep, if you continue to spit nonsence out of your invisble mouths.

...

Another silence. Looks like they can be shut, after all.

"Your arrogance is still present as when you are still alive. Have you no shame in the deeds that you have committed? Where is the guilt inside of you? Don't you want to redeem yourself for your past sins?"

No. Just get on with it, already. I'm getting bored. Tell those forces of yours to do their magic or something, and get this over with. I'm tired of the mysterious, dramatical expositions and monologue between myself and some voices in this weird ass, covered in complete darkness place. And while you losers were babbling, I figured out who you are. ALL of you. And yes, I still feel no regret or remorse of what I've done to you, even now. Frankly, I couldn't even bother to think about you guys. What, were you so butthurt that I screwed you over so you went all this way so that you can see me in my current position? So much so that you refused to go to Heaven or Hell until you've finished your business with me? What a waste of time. I would have burned in Hell either way, so really, rushing my death was pretty stupid, if you ask me.

...

Oh, no response? I probably hit a nerve somewhere in your imaginary bodies. Truth hurts, doesn't it?

...

Hellooo? Is no one gonna talk to me? Are you still angry?

"You have no idea what you've got yourself into, ****.", said one voice.

Ahhh, still angry about it.

"You will regret those words.", said another.

We'll see. Now present me that punishment of you were talking so much about earlier.

Just as I said this a sudden flash of light shined. It was so bright that the surronding darkness disappeared immediatly.

I felt the light. It was so bright and beautiful. And yet, it was also very painful, as if someone was burning my flesh with hot steel. I tried to scream again.

My attempt was futile.

...

...

...

The next thing that happend was that I heard a scream. But it wans't like the screams that were coming from the voices before. No, it sounded like a baby scream, like it was being given birth to. At least that was it sounded to me

Wait.

I could hear.

I could also smell, although it smelled like shit.

I could see, even though it was a little dark. Way better than complete darkness, though.

I could feel my entire body. From the top of my head, to the torso and down to my feet. Man, does it feel great to move again with those green parts of my body. I swear, I think I might have had a bad dre-...

Hold on just a moment. Did I just say "green"?

What?

Oh, wait. Something's wrong. Even though I can feel my body, alongside my senses, I felt rather weak with. It was almost like I couldn't move them at all.

And they were tiny.

...

Okay. Don't panic. Let's have a look around.

Let's see. It appears that I'm currently in some sort of cave. I spot a few torches and some weirdly shaped silluetes nearby. I hear some screams that sounded like it belonged to women and babies. Probably giving birth. Last, but not least, I feel like someone is holding me in their arms. It sounds strange, but that's the best way to describe it. Maybe I should look up to see what's holding me?

I looked up and what I saw was probably the most ugly son of a bitch I ever saw in my entire previous and current life. At first glance it looked like an old man, but upon further inspection he had green skin, with a long nose and ears with piercings. His eyes looked like those of a goat, which was weird and his teeth were crooked and fucking disgusting. What's even worse is that he was looking down at me and was smilling. His breath almost knocked me out unconscious.

Alright, that's enough. I'm gonna tell this weirdo to let go off of me and I might leave some of his deformed teeth in his mouth. Hopefully, there won't be any more unnecassary complex issues.

"BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"

...

Looks like I'm wrong. Again.

That marks the end of the first chapter! Expect the next one soon!
