- Yeah, I'm definitely in an Isekai.

Exclaims a young man in the middle of the forest, his voice lost to the sounds of insects and plants, the most natural music on the planet. In a tropical and pleasant climate, warm but comfortable, he continues to wander, apparently with no destination in sight.

"Bush, hot climate, no sign of civilization, normally this is those situations in which someone finds themselves when they get lost without wanting to, but I clearly remember being in my room and waking up in the middle of this mess" Without any explanation, the young man's mind only reaches the simplest and perhaps stupid conclusion "I became an Isekai protagonist"'

His surroundings do not change for a few minutes of walking, the only indication that he is not walking in circles is because he is always following the sun, perhaps this world does not have the same directions that he is used to, it would be kind of stupid for him to discover too late that the sun rises in the south in this world.

- Let's see, initial build: normal clothes, long manga shirt under a gym hoodie, dark blue jeans, worn belt, glasses, my cell phone with cracked screen but still working, backpack with my note book, water bottle and umbrella. Yeah, if I'm lucky I should now have about 5 damage with the umbrella at least-.

The young man's name is Jonathan Cruz, 21 years old, height 1,80, light brown skin, extremely dark brown eyes almost black, black night hair pulled back. His body is not thin, contains a little muscle, but has a little belly, not enough to be fat, but shows strong legs and walks with his head up and silly smile on his face.

He continues to contemplate the nature around him, growing up in the south of the country, he got used to colder woods, but the temperature of the place doesn't bother him that much. Not being an expert on plants, he doesn't check things like if they are poisonous or edible, he still has a snack in his backpack and some water.

Jonathan " Man, I must have lucked out, it's not the best being in a forest with no one around, but being thrown right into the action with no explanation or armor set is an even worse scenario.

Look, a clearing, I should be able to take a little break for now."

Upon seeing a clearing and finding a large tree root with the perfect shape to sit on, he rests his feet and back in the shade.

Jonathan "So I'm in an Isekai, okay, my first task is to find people or whatever is non-hostile in this world"

All the anime and manga of the genre he read start that way, protagonist without any information, unknown environment, green and ugly thing the size of a child with a wrinkled face that only a mother could love coming towards him... Wait, what is this shit!.

Goblin (real): guarghjarififme. (grunts)

"Ok, there is no way or time for dialog, violence is not the answer, but the question and I answer yes, justification = Trust the me i know what i'm doing." Facing the most basic and noob creature of any RPG, Jonathan doesn't lose focus, from the countless tabletop RPG sessions with his friends he knew that even this weak beast could kill him, even with the size of a 12 year old child, the goblin carried strong arms and a firm torso, along with a worn but still usable iron sword.

"Shit, I don't have any weapons, the umbrella would only be a distraction, and it would break on the first hit, and I don't know how many of them might be around, I have to be smart, like..." While analyzing the situation, he picks up a tennis ball sized rock "It's good enough".

Goblin ( real ) - guarggghff - The monster approaches, his run is a little clumsy but still charged with aggression, he raises the iron piece over his head and growls as he gets close.

Jonathan, seeing the ideal distance, throws the stone with all his strength at his enemy, like a baseball player it hits the goblin's face, just above the left eye.

Goblin - kkfffffaaaa - He screams and stops his advance, one of his wrinkled hands with poorly manicured nails tries to cover the wound on his supercilium.

Jonathan - Haaa - Seeing his opportunity, Jonathan delivers a perfect kick on the opposite side of the wound, the goblin takes a few steps back. What hit him was not an unpracticed and desperate blow, Jonathan practiced Taekwondo for 4 years, from 12 to 16, even if rusty the countless repetitions of this kick are marked in his muscles.

Goblin - Haaaggagga.

Jonathan - What!

Taking the blow and resisting it, the goblin attacks again, this time Jonathan is very close to the enemy, he sees the goblin raising his sword, at the same time the young man raises his left arm and prepares to take the blow.

Even if such an act is useless, his instincts demand that he at least try to defend himself.

Jonathan "Damn it, I have to take this blow, please, hold on, hold on, I'M NOT GOING TO DIE ON MY FIRST DAY HERE''

Thunk!

A strange sensation becomes apparent, Jonathan expected to feel a strong and sharp pain, expected his arm to be ripped off or suffer a cut deep enough to see his muscles and bones, but instead of the grotesque sight he expected, something surprising happened.

Jonathan - What the hell? -

At that moment even the goblin was at a loss to understand what had just happened, he jumped back in amazement.

Goblin - Gufhhhhgaahhh - His growls continue, as if demanding an explanation of what happened.

Jonathan "How can this be, but what... ah!" finally deciding to examine his arm, instead of the red liquid, he sees a scarlet amber, the sword pierced his skin and reached his blood vessels, but stopped, or rather was stopped, as if ruby stones had embedded the area before the sword made contact, Jonathan feels a familiar pulsation of the material. Even though he had never seen anything like it, he knew it was his blood that had hardened him by the will to endure the cut and protect himself.

But he is not safe yet.

Goblin - Ghhhuuiii - Even after the scare, the beast's simple instincts lead him to continue attacking, without technique or precision.

Jonathan " Here he comes again, I can try to deflect his sword with my bare hands... No, I had a better idea, my blood has crystallized to protect me according to my will, so to defeat this guy " Upon coming to this realization, Jonathan raises his arm and points it in the direction of the goblin.
Jonathan - Ahhhh - He steps forward, adrenaline and confidence taking away his doubts.

sound of liquid forming and hardening*

Like a plant tendril, some of his blood from the wound runs down his arm, then on his wrist a curved blade forms, sharp and solid even though it is formed by a liquid.

Jonathan - Hunf - Being within reach he brandishes his blade diagonally, faster than the goblin can adapt to the new weaponry, it separates the monster into two irregular parts, without form of defense and without understanding, the goblin falls to the ground, his intestines no longer being held by the abdomen, fall to the ground.

Jonathan - Arf, arf, arf, hehe, heheehehee, I WON, I won and I got a fucking power already! - With no one around to hear his shouts of victory, he lets out all the excitement of defeating an enemy.

"Time Skip 5 hours"

After doing the basic loot, he went back to the clearing and hid, waiting for this goblin's friends to arrive to try and catch him, but after several minutes passed with nothing showing up, he decided to just sit down and calm down, experimenting with his new power, turning his blood into various weapons, axe, spear, mace, long sword and katana.

Jonathan " Okay, after a few tests I was able to deduce a few things. First my blood solidifies and softens almost instantly if I concentrate, second i can control the shape at will as long as it is not something complex " Several failures to create a carbine or .38 have failed, he can not replicate something with so many details and so many parts working simultaneously, without remembering the shape and design or perhaps due to a lack of precision with his power such things were left for another opportunity. "Third, I seem to have two to three liters more blood and I don't feel a pound heavier while using this power, there were no signs of lack of blood like dizziness or paleness, so I must have more blood than a normal person" The test that revealed this was when he made a life-size replica of the dragon slayer from Berserk, the amount of blood that came out of his body was much more than the limit a normal person can lose before dying, unfortunately he couldn't solidify this replica, maybe too much blood at once is more complicated to control.

After these findings, he let himself think a little while lying on the soft grass.

Jonathan " It seems that the level of this world is not so high, I already started with a nice power and the mobs are weak " rambles while looking at his arm extended upwards.

Getting back on his feet he decides to continue wandering, choosing now to go east, or the direction he thinks is east. His walk continues, and for a few minutes it is without any interesting events to report, the woods continue with the normal noise of insects, and the loudest thing he hears are branches breaking where he steps.

The forest doesn't get any denser, the foliage doesn't get in his way, oak trees are all that surround him at the moment, the light that bathes the ground is faintly covered by them.

? - Hic, Hic, Hic, please help me - A feminine and tremulous voice catches his attention, his senses that he left sharp without losing focus since he started walking warn him from which direction the noise came.

Soldier 1 - Well boys, look what we found here, he - A medium sized adult man sneers, his scruffy beard and shrunken eyes stare condescendingly at the person who continues to cry at his feet, he runs a hand through his dirty black hair. His upper body covered by a red beaten leather breastplate, the appearance of the material indicates misuse and neglect, the left breastplate seems to be patched with a darker leather, a spreader followed by the left shoulder only and a belt, blue painted buttons decorate the surrounding equipment, metal greaves and knee pads protect his feet, a medium sword at his waist, with his hands adorned with red leather gauntlets.

Soldier 2 - hmm, a mamono so close to our simple town boss, how dangerous kukuku - His companion continues with the mockery, his body is a bit stockier, with signs of fat and muscle in a way that makes him more intimidating than his height already does, his wide eyes and thick eyebrows show disdain, his bald head shines reflecting some of the natural light. Wearing the same armor, adjusted for his size, but with a mace of thorns instead of a sword at his waist.

In all there are 5 armed and equipped men, the remaining 3 say nothing and simply circle the "girl?". , 1 is right next to the formation while 2 are covering the exit routes, who stands crying.

Jonathan looks for a better position, he cannot see the person who is surrounded, but from the openings between the formation he concludes that she is trapped in a net and is kneeling, and meanwhile her voice remains watered with fear.

? - Please, hic, you have to leave, they will - Slap! Her head tilts quickly to the left, a slap on her face leaves her speechless, it was a blow not only to hurt but also to humiliate her, she loses the strength in her arms and simply lets her head fall to the ground while crying - Hic, hic, please, they will hurt you -.

Soldier 1 - Ah, tell me, who's going to hurt us, more of your monsters ? - Without showing any remorse, the man who seems to be the leader of the gang puts his sword close to the victim's throat.

Soldier 2 - Let's get them and take care of them, right after you, right boys ! ... huh? - Without receiving an answer, the brute soldier turns around and is astonished.

? - Glurg, guuh,- One of his companions has a tribal knife stuck in his throat, his eyes glaze over, trying to find the wound, he is pushed forward and falls like a sack, a pool of blood forming under his head.

A small figure appears just behind the stabbed man, smiling with rotten teeth and an elongated nose, a small tuft of hair on his almost bald head, fat with thin limbs but with a little muscle, covered by a simple rag on his privates, a goblin stares at them with malice.

Goblin - Gaaahhhhhuuuu - Exclaims, and abruptly holds a combat stance, ready to leap like a leopard on its victims.

Goblins - ahhjj - -gggaaahh- -guuuiljh - uhhhji - ooooggghh-.

Several goblins jump out of their hiding places through the plants and bushes, 6 in total, all carrying some sort of sharp tool, with primitive coordination they begin their attack.

Jonathan " These must be the friends of the one I killed. These guys are already with one who was from the base, and they were taken by surprise" Even after this observation, he does not move, for reasons he himself does not understand, he does not feel the urge to help these men. Whether it is the loathing he felt for them tormenting someone fallen or simply curiosity to see if these men are even competent, he remains crouched looking at the scene.

It is carnage, as the one next to him turns, a goblin leaps out with a crude stone hammer and strikes him in the temple, the bone sunks and forms a crater, his eyes pop out of their enclosures in his skull, he falls on the spot. Seeing two of his fallen comrades, the apparent gang leader and the brute arm themselves, their forms show experience and they do not seem to be in shock by the monsters abrupt assault.

Soldier 1 ( boss ) - Reinlich, stay close and cover Kind, leave the others to me - The gang boss roars orders, his posture serious and ready, his sword pointed at two of the goblins surrounding him.

Reinloch - Haaaarrh - Standing next to Kind, Reinlich raises his mace and brings it down on one of the goblins. But it wasn't fast enough.

Goblin - Uhhhy - He jumps, moving away from the hole that the mace made in the ground, allowing another of his companions to jump on his back and throw a glass full of liquid in Reinlich's direction.

Splasshh krink!

Reinlich - ahhhh, my eyes, what the fuck is this, argh! - even though it only hit his chest, a few drops of the green liquid fall into his eyes, a burning sound comes from where the liquid spreads.

Kind, for his part, seems to have gone into shock, perhaps the least experienced of the three he was not prepared for such chaotic combat, and so did not notice one of the goblins sneaking up behind him.

Goblin - Ughyyy! -

Boss - Kind! - Shouts the gang leader as he sees Kind with a rudimentary knife piercing his skull from above. - Arrghh - In a rage, he swings his sword at the goblin, who is still leaning on Kind's shoulders. The blow hits, severing the goblin's head before he even realizes it.

Reinlich - Uggghr, aarrgh - Even without seeing, the stoutest of the bunch spins his mace, unbridled and furious, the goblins have a difficult time dodging.

- Sound of fruit being crushed-

Reinlich hits one of them, a sharp blow from above, the full weight of his body crumbles the entire body of one of the goblins, a crater with entrails is left as a sole remant.

Boss - Reinlich, be careful - He warns, but without time to help, two goblins jump at Reinlich, before he could lift his mace from the ground, the two attack like two wild animals, cuts and stabs where they can hit and where the armor does not cover is his back and collarbone.

Reinlich - Urgh, boss? - He collapses to the ground, and extending a hand to his leader exclaims for help.

Boss - Arrrrgggh! - With an angry face and blood in his eyes, he throws himself towards them.

His blows are frantic and without pattern, one of the goblins has his arm amputated and falls to the ground screaming, two jump towards him, but the first is caught by a punch in his throat, the second manages to brandish his hammer towards the human but is deflected, one of them who was behind jumps on his back and clings tightly.

Boss - Aahhh! - he throws his back with everything into a tree, two sounds of breaking things are heard, first from the bark, the second probably from the goblin's back - Ugh! - But he didn't die, and without retaliation sends a knife into his shoulder.

Goblin - Ugghg - The goblin with the hammer takes his chance and hits the human in the ankle with everything, a breaking sound and he collapses.

Boss - Arrrfg! - With an agonizing pain in his leg, he cannot stand and falls to his knees, and it is at this time that the monsters take advantage.

The remaining four, even the one who had his arm cut off, join in and beat him up. They do not even use their weapons, only with their fists they kill the last of the group of soldiers. They prolong his suffering and take pleasure in their faces as they see the man's face become disfigured.

Finally they get tired, the human has been dead for a few moments, panting and with some injuries they stop and start to rest.

Goblin - Giiih, Ghhhuui, guhihi - With a face like he's not going to do something good, he turns to the girl, the others in his group turn too, and start laughing as they approach her.

Jonathan during all this was petrified, by defeating only one goblin he thought he was already at a level where this type of enemy would be easy, but seeing deaths of experienced soldiers in front of him, his vision changed completely. This is serious business, it's no longer a joke or fun adventure, if he gets careless even with beasts like goblins, he will die horribly.

Girl - No, no please hic, DON'T HURT ME - Trying her best to get away from the green monsters, the girl panics, and starts to beg, she already knows what they intend to do to her, that's why she can't do anything else but cry and beg for help to escape a fate worse than death.

Jonathan " Ugh!" He didn't need a second to know what would happen there, so many visual novels played and so many Bad Ends, if nothing changed that girl would be broken forever. And as much as Jonathan is afraid of dying, he knows deep down that if he leaves this girl without helping her, something else much more precious than his life to himself will be lost.

Jonathan " Ok, you know what to do, come on and move body" His petrified body begins to vibrate, fear and determination battle in his psyche, but something else enters the equation, ANGER.

Jonathan " Come on asshole, you're going to let people die in front of you while you look like an idiot, that's all you can fucking do!" He bites his lip, managing to keep control, he is determined.

Jonathan - AAAAHHHHHHH! - Without discretion, his legs go into the last gear, exploding from where he was, a spear of blood is formed, with the handle being held in his fists, he unleashes a spear on the back of one of the goblins who was startled by his scream. His target is hit in the spine and dies on the spot, minus one.

Goblin - Ughhaa! - The remaining 3 turn around, even tired they wield their weapons.

Jonathan - Ahhhr - Jonathan throws the body of the goblin hanging from his spear as a distraction, and then with his free arm, a new blade is formed, without waiting, he swings his sword to the side and catches the goblin with the severed arm in the neck and a gush of blood escapes from the wound.

Goblin - Ughuuu - The one with the hammer goes up, no choice and with both arms momentarily occupied, Jonathan lifts his ankle and hardens the blood under the skin.

Jonathan - Ugh! - The pain is intense, even protecting with the hardened blood the blow is strong enough to be felt, like that time Jonathan was kicked in soccer.

Retracting his blade and spear, Jonathan moves away from the goblin with the hammer, and forming claws like Wolverine, catches the goblin that is holding his companion's body above him by surprise.

Stab!

His attack hits, the goblin's body is pierced by the 3 claws, Jonathan's hand was turned sideways, 2 go through his stomach and the last one goes straight into his chest.

Goblin - Uggghgh - Like an animal, not even caring about the death of his companions, the last living goblin advances, his hammer raised above his head.

Jonathan - Haaaa! - With strength and speed, before the goblin can finish his movement, Jonathan slashes the rudimentary hammer he was using, using those same claws, he pierces the throat of the last enemy, who pathetically holds the human's arm as his life drains away.

Jonathan - Arf, arf, arf - A lull takes over the battlefield, all the enemies are dead at his feet, and with gasping breaths he finally realizes that he is not completely alone.

Girl - Hic, hic - Still crouched and now in a fetal position, the girl begins to notice the silence, instead of one more dead man and several goblins with their hideous faces in front of her, she sees only one human standing amidst the bodies - Ah - Still she raises her hands close to her face, thinking she is still not safe.

Jonathan - Hey, don't worry, nobody's going to hurt you - Taking the calmest tone of voice possible, he tries to placate the girl, like he's seen in some movies with victims of something traumatic. - Huh? - That's when the boy notices something, even with the net over her, he can distinguish some new features of the girl.

Legs and forearms covered in hair, like a dog the strands look soft but with a little dirt and giving a darker appearance to the fur that must be dark brown, two tufts of lighter hair circle her wrists, and both her feet and hands resemble those of a dog, with small claws and pads for each finger and a larger one in the center of her hand. His chest and belly are also covered in fur, which takes on a much darker hue than the rest of his body. A lighter tuft in the center of her chest, her breasts are at most size B (and look adorable). On her head a human, youthful face begins to dry its tears, her hair falls straight down over her shoulders and ear-like limbs sit atop her scalp, which also has a dark brown coloration that neither does her belly. You notice that her small nose is cute like a Japanese girl and her innocent eyes are vibrant green.

Jonathan feels that he knows this kind of being, but at the moment he thinks only of helping the girl.

Jonathan - Hey, let me help you - He moves his hand closer to the net to help her out, but-

Girl - Ah! - She is startled, for a moment she looks very scared, but calms down a bit before screaming. What startled her was the human's hand, which was stained with blood.

Jonathan - Oh! Sorry, just give me a second - Seeing what scared her, the young man runs his hand behind his clothes to get rid of the goblin blood on his hand.

~~~~ 5 minutes ~~~~

After freeing her from her confines, and seeing that she is much calmer now, Jonathan decides to start the conversation.

Jonathan - So, I saved you and all, but I don't know your name, huh? - With less politeness than he would have liked, he questions the girl.

Girl - Uhm, M-my name is Melanie, uhmm, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SAVING ME - after introducing herself, Melanie lowers her head with both fists clenched and thanks him wholeheartedly.

Jonathan is a little put out, he expected her to thank him but not so enthusiastically.

Jonathan - Well, I wouldn't say it was nothing, by the way my name is Jonathan, but it was just something a hero should do - Jonathan replies, because he clearly is a hero, why else would he have been taken to another world, he must have an important destiny or a big role to fulfill, he even has a very useful and versatile power.

Melanie - U-u-a hero, of the order, like the ones who found me first - Astonished, Melanie asks trembling and moving away a few steps.

Jonathan - Huh? "No, I'm not part of that order." Even as he says this, Jonathan is sure he's heard something like this before.

Melanie relaxes completely, it seems that whatever she feared didn't happen - Hm, good then, I was going to Lescatie, where they allow nobles to adopt or buy kobolds, but I had no idea that soldiers and heroes of the order would be as cruel as those men now - She starts enthusiastically, as if telling the beginning of an adventure, but her ears and tail stop waving near the end.

has stopped

Jonathan - Nani - The young man takes about 15 seconds completely still, absorbing the information he just got.

Melanie - Um, Master Jonathan, are you alright - Concerned, she asks the young man, who has suddenly stopped and continues to stare ahead without reaction.

Jonathan " She is a Kobold... Going to Lescatie... And she got scared of the heroes of the order! No, it's not possible" His eyes widen, all the clues point to only one conclusion, only one result, only one logical deduction for all this exist- ing.

Jonathan - I'm in the world of Monster Girl Encyclopedia - Like the famous protagonist of JOJO who shares the same name with the young man he exclaims - OH MY GOD - His cry echoes throughout the forest.
