After leaving, Goberin was left alone with Kokoharu- a former adventurer. She invites him to her room.

"Oh um, sorry about that... Now, little goblin. What do you want to ask?"

Goberin looks around the room first. It was your typical lab type room all messy and filled with books.

"A-Are you someone who got transported here by any chance?"

Kokoharu looks at the young goblin before her with shock to discover her secret so easily.

"W-Well that's was my assumption when I heard your name from Troy's stories of his old team"

"U-Uh um... Yes, you're correct. I'm from another world, specifically Japan. And you? Are you- no... You're a reincarnation right?"

"Oh wow! I'm surprised that you figured me out so easily!"

"Because people who got transported will look the same as they were back in their old world. Throughout my journey with Troy, Hector and Helen. I've met others..."

"Uh 'others' you say? So there are more people who got transported?"

"Yes but I also found some were also reincarnated here into different races"

"O-Oh... Wow and here I thought I was the only one..."

"Don't think that this is an anime or a game... I learnt that the hard way when I first came here..."

"Y-Yeah... Well being reborn as a goblin wasn't all great. Actually, before anything I'm interested in your and Troy's past together. What had happened?"

"Oh... Troy didn't tell you a thing about that?"

"Well yeah... He said that it was kinda personal so I didn't want to pry"

"*Sigh* I'll tell you since this is also kinda related to people who got transported"

"It does?"

"Yep, sit on the floor and get comfy..."

(Begin flashback)

It was on a stormy night at the Crunchy Tavern when Hector and Helen were still part of the team and after Troy had slain the Obsidian.

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

Hector was busy training out in the forest. It's weird but he kept doing it all the time and I somehow got used to it and didn't ask any questions. And yes, even on stormy nights like some sort of Shonen protagonists.

While Helen was studying alone in her room at our Root Inn. She was protecting our gear, I remembered she said that she was studying S-rank healing spells to become a good doctor one day when she returned to her hometown.

Meanwhile at the Crunchy Bar it was just me and Troy. He was drinking beers and would normally pass out from time to time. I was there to accompany him making sure that he wasn't gonna caused another bar fight.

Everything seems like a normal evening for me, with the rain and cheery atmosphere of everyone drinking and sharing their stories. It was then something unexpected happened...

The doors to the Tavern suddenly busted opened by 3 woman. Three of whom I didn't recognize at first but they knew me from a glance and started walking up to me.

"Kokoharu, so... you're still alive and living well" a girl with blonde curly hair spoke to me with a face full of herself, taller than me and has a pair of massive breasts that you wouldn't even believe existed, she has curvy waist and a bubble butt! The body I had once wanted! Her name was Crystal and her two goons.

"Yeah! How dare you follow us here!?"

"*Snort* Snotty brat!"

I honestly didn't like these three. I was a 20 year old college student, well I got a scholar to study in Japan so I went there. I thought it was cool and neato even but I had no idea that there were bullies like this. I wasn't beautiful or sexy like them. All I did was study and got top grades of my class in Economics. But one day they started to ask me for my works and other stuffs. If I told them no, they would forcefully get it... It wasn't fun living like that. It was when that accident had occurred, when her boyfriend hit on me making her jealous. Therefore on one day, she asked me to come and meet her on the roof, I thought she was gonna asked me for money again today but her friends were behind me and pushed me off... ending my life there.

Well not quite... It all happened way too quickly, when I was falling everything I've done in my life flashed before my eyes and suddenly bam! I was in this luxurious bed chamber with golden cuffs locking my hands to the bed.

I looked around and all I could see was a field of flowers that were forever changing colours and a beautiful woman with a physique of a goddess stood in front of me.

"Good day to you, Kokoharu..." She said in an almost angelic voice. "I am Athena. What do you desire most?" She was wearing nothing but a set of bikini armour clad in gold and holding a spear and a shield.

"W-What?"

"I know that it is hard to believe but you're dead by jealousy of others. Do you desire to restart with who you are now but in another unfamiliar land?"

Everything she said didn't make much sense to me back then but when I heard her words, my mind thought to one thing "Oh, so am I gonna get teleported to another world!?" was my excitement. So I replied with "Y-Yes!"

"Ha ha ha... Very well! Now one more thing... Every person who wished to go to another world with their memories intact, I can grant you an amount of money you oh so which to have and a power or weapon which would make you well equipped on your journey!"

"I'll take those!"

"Suit yourself. Now pick a weapon or skill to your choosing," she then laid out a bunch of scrolls and weapons on the ground "And you can pick either from 1 to 100000 gold coins as your starting money"

It took hours to just pick one weapon, I didn't want to pick a skill that I know it's gonna be useless. So I ended up picking Merlin's Staff and chose 50000 gold coins as my starting money. It was a wise choice and I had never doubted it one bit.

There was suddenly a teleportation circle appearing beneath my feet and the Goddess saying "Good luck! May misfortunes rain down upon you! Hehehe," sounds were a bit radio like so I couldn't quite hear what she was saying but all I could remember was a sinister and chilling smile appearing on the her face before changing into a man as my consciousness began to decent into darkness.
