I slowly open my eyes, since I hear rushed steps hurrying along the hallway. As today was the day of my coming of age ceremony, I was sure that the person running along the hallway must be Grandpa Gobto. Slowly I rose from the lotus position I sat in and walk towards the door. Before I could even get that close to the door Grandpa Gobto already knocked against the door.
"Old man, just wait a bit and I will get out of my room. No need to thrash my door." I say with a smile on my face while I open the door slowly.
As I thought the old goblin stood before my door. Gobto used to be a servant of my mother, after her passing he was the person who took care of me. Gobto leaned on his old gnarly staff.
"We should get going or else we will miss your coming of age ceremony." The black colored goblin said smiling. His smile looked odd as he was missing a few teeth. He may look like a helpless old goblin, but one shouldn´t be misled by him, then he was a rare goblin variant. That’s why his skin is black instead of the dark green color normal goblin skin has. A variant is normally around five to ten times stronger than a normal version of the same race.

It took us approximately 10 minutes until we got from my room to the main hall, in which the coming of age ceremony was hold. After entering the hall and ignoring all the hostile glances, I stood together with Grandpa Gobto in a corner of the hall and waited. I could hear a few of my so called clan members whisper some curses. All of them were really unoriginal during my life I only heard a few different ones, either they called me the son of a demonic whore or they called me a bastard. This ceremony was celebrated once a year for all clan members that were fifteen or turned fifteen during the year. The ceremony wasn´t really something that great at all. The clan elders called each of us one by one up to bestow our personal Realms to us. Realms are divided into differend ranks. The lowest ranked Realms were called Red Realms, after the Red Realms comes the Blue Realms rank and after that comes the Azure Realms. As far as I know the highest ranked Realms, the rank which comes after the Azure Realms rank, is called Purple Realms. My clan was not that poor at all but they were only able to give out Realms of the Red rank. If someone was able to rank up his Realm to reach the blue rank they would become clan elders. After that getting the Realm, each child was allowed to choose one item, which should help them start developing their newborn Realm. The items one could choose from were all only low class magic artifact, they barely were qualified to be called that. Finally after waiting, what felt like a whole day, it was finally my turn!
