CMK prologue - goblin's death 👺☠
A life was born as a goblin. He was abandoned before his eyes could open. Hunger would torment this goblin for a period of time. Hunting and foraging became paramount as a source of food while our goblin friend grew fast.
The rise of our young goblin friend began with a fortuitous encounter with a special spirit fruit named the Evolution fruit. The fruit increased the goblin's memory, neural response, muscle elasticity, and his body's recovery rate. Determination to find more led to the development of herbalism. Many tests and trials became the foundation in his alchemic endeavors. Dabblings in the arcanic complimented his research in alchemy. Drawing formations to draw the power of the earth became second nature to the goblin.
The hermit goblin lived his simple life for 10 years in a small grove. His previous ideas changed when he met a small group of goblins that wandered into his territory. It was the cooperation that the goblins showcased for his eyes that he found interesting. One of the goblins that appeared to be slightly bulkier had a wolf mount. The hermit ended up capturing 6 of the goblins while killing 14 other goblins and the wolf mount. The majority of the little buggers preferred death than to be captured. While the goblins were weak individually, the discovery that the goblins could use a wolf as a mount to carry one of themselves, the idea of using others was lodged into his head. He knew where some nearby wolves lived, and the idea to capture some was the task he had to carry out. He had the goblins all tied up, so he felt confident that they couldn't run away.
The hermit goblin ended up being the cause of a massacre when he wanted to capture some wolves. The baby wolves looked too small to be of help, so he figured he might as well get rid of them too. The hermit decided to wander and go for a walk. He spotted a cougar in another cave a few hours later. He ended up killing the male cougar and crippling the female cougar. He ended up spotting 8 new born kittens in the cave. He had a feeling of inspiration when he saw the cougar protecting the litter of kittens. The hermit didn't know about reproduction, but felt that maybe these kittens could be used. He ended up tieing the mother up, putting the kittens into a bag, and fireman carrying the female cougar back to his camp. Experiments would happen soon, and this devil for a goblin would become knowledgable in magic tatoos. Magic tatoos are magical formations to empower his minions. He had tamed and domesticated many different creatures. After 10 years he had learned the ways of the beast. He knew how to capture, tame, rule, work, and breed his minions at this point. He also started to recognize that he was a type of goblin like some that he had previously captured, but that didn't bother him too much. The way of the beast is the strong take from the weak.

20 years had gone by, and our goblin friend had become a goblin shaman. He was proficient as a spiritualist and knew his body was old and starting to grow weak. He had seen beasts that he had personally witnessed have the same ailments and conditions. He came up with a few ideas. One: steal the vitality of others. Two: switch and steal a body to control. Three: become a lich.
The first idea was doable, but he soon found out that the amount of vitality he could steal was too low and the amount he needed was too much. If he had started this process 10 years ago, then he would have not had this issue. He also knew that most goblins only lived for 15 years, but he had almost doubled that already. The second idea was the hardest to understand and test. He figured out an idea to complete this task after many experiments on other creatures. Before he tested this out on himself, he wanted to try out his last idea. The last idea was bad. He was too scared to follow through. All his experiments had lead to zombies and skeletons. He found it interesting and wondered why skeletons could move without muscles, but figured it wasn't too important.
The goblin ended up learning how to engrave the soul, using formations on them, altering and tampering with them, and moving and controlling souls. He felt confident with his knowledge to steal another's body. The goblin shaman was going to die this day with his attempt of moving his own soul. He discovered that his own soul was too heavy and sticky after strengthening it. Because his body was in the process of dieing while his soul was in the stages of strengthening, his own soul had become sticky to help stick to the body. He reached the point of no return when he discovered this characteristic. He had an epiphany right before his soul shattered.
