In a void with a single chair sat a man with tea in hand. He took one sip and looked at the screen of a sleeping demon upon a throne.

[Seems like he did pass at least a single fucking day.]

[Don’t fail me now Isaac…]

A long pause came with a sigh. The cup froze from the breeze of his breath and it crumbled to pieces. The System stood up from the chair and stomped everything away. A huge smile appeared on the empty face and soon came a roar of happiness.

[This story has yet to start!]

Multiple mouths flew at the sky laughing till it filled everything in sight.

[You Have Survived Day 1]

[Raiders: 3]

[Raiders Killed: 3]

[Soul Points Earned: 300]

[Milestone System Unlocked.]

[Souls Dome Unlocked.]

And the System woke me up. Isaac opened his eyes upon a kneeled Goblin and a few others at his side. He stood at the armchair, “Stand up!” he yelled.

The Goblins responded and raised their heads. “What are you doing kneeling in front of me?” Isaac asked.

“We were protecting you, master,” Goby replied.

Well, Isaac scoffed. I don’t really care. What I do care about is getting those soul points this Soul Dome will give me. Isaac pressed at the status screen in front of him. Well, based on its name it should… give me… some… Isaac lengthened his words waiting for the screens to appear.

[Souls Dome]

[Start]

So… I just… Isaac flew into the air and headed down a few meters to the right. “Follow me Goby.” He stood up and walked below Isaac. “The rest too.” He added.

Isaac flew to the Alchemy room. He dropped down just a little above ground and opened the door on his own. “You have knowledge about Alchemy… right Goby?” Isaac questioned with a smile on his face.

“As a mage, it is my home, master.” Goby laid his eyes upon a small room equipped with every single beaker he had ever known his entire life. His body itched to touch the glasses yet the eyes of that demon ever so slightly contained his free movement.

“Glad to know about that.” Isaac noticed Goby’s slight movements. “You can go in, we don’t have enough materials yet, but make as many health potions as you can with, sadly, the only thing we have, Carelan Leaves,” Isaac ordered. He flew inside the room and grabbed the necessary types of materials. He placed them on the table and hurried back to Goby.

“Gra-” Isaac noticed Goby’s height was just the same as the others, without the illusion appearance that he originally presented, he could never reach the table. But before Isaac could even order for the crate that has a hole in it to be moved, Goby changed his appearance back into the human he first showed.

Interesting. Isaac was piqued with curiosity. He flew close to Goby and, “So… is that an illusion body or an actual transformation?” Isaac asked. I already know that it is an illusion… but if it’s about illusions that could affect reality… I’ve never heard of that. Isaac thought.

“It is half-half, master,” Goby answered. “Explain.” He said in a hurry.

“It is my honor to do so, master.” He kneeled and started to talk. “The magic I’m using could be considered body transformation. Using magic to change my eyesight and elevate it to the air, I can use magic lasso's to move items like real arms, and that is where illusion magic is used as a facade.”

Isaac was left with his mouth open. The information process fast and he immediately concealed his outside appearance. I almost acted like a normal person there. Isaac shook off everything in his head, “Well thank you for telling me that. Now, you have more knowledge about magic, but let’s see if you are better than me in Alchemy.” Isaac didn’t intend it, but Goby was placed under heavy pressure.

Goby dared to not look up, for a lowly being like him to show his master something he didn’t know, Goby feared for his death to come immediately. Though of course, that’s just a misunderstanding.

Alchemy, some might think you need magic for alchemy… but not really. Of course, mana should be used for potions, or without it, what’s even the difference between alchemy and plain science?

Isaac did have mana, that is not a lie, even in his previous life. But, mana doesn’t really mean magic. It just means that he has something running through his body, but he never really could use it to fire some elemental balls or fly in the sky.

In his past stats, Isaac invested a lot in agility, dexterity, perception, and stealth. But with a few stats to Magic, even he could inch the ability to release some, just that… he couldn’t use real magic. Without the class or skills for it, one could use magic simply… for party tricks.

This was where Alchemy came for Isaac, even without the class for it, Isaac endured, and not like he ever had a choice. Eventually, he was even able to make artifacts, but that’s for a future story.

Goby grabbed a single Carelan leaf and ran his mana through its veins. Once pulverized and with a little more sifting, he already had a half-filled bottle of healing potion. Goby threw in another bottle of some burnt Carelan leaves and picked up another one.

“Stop right there.” Isaac intervened. He took the Carelan Leaf that Goby held, even with less physical strength, the pitiful Goblin dared not to exert any force upon the leaf.

“I commend you for your speed, it does seem like you have spent years with Alchemy as your partner. But as a mage, you probably haven’t spent much time with it.” Isaac took two empty bottles and ran mana through the Carelan leaf.

I need a bigger glass for this… but with my newly earned powers… I should… Isaac got two bottles filled to the brim. “There, want me to teach you?” Isaac smiled. Though in Goby’s eyes, that smile still looked far different than a friendly one.

[Wave 1 Starting]

[2 Goblins]

[You Will Be Teleported Out When You Die Or When You Say “I Give Up.”]

The two goblins appeared through holographic textures. Their body immediately turned to firewood. It only took seconds till the huge fire dispersed into tiny piles of ashes.

[You Have Acquired The Skill “Ignite”]

[Wave 2 Starting]

[5 Goblins]

The same thing happened to the next 5. There was not even a need to know what they were. Fire would engulf their body the moment they were born. They scream and panic as they circle on the ground.

{Ignite}

[Wave 3 Starting]

[10 Goblins]

Isaac stayed in the sky. His stats grew and he gained new skills. Souls went to his pockets and his efforts were nowhere to be found. But soon, something even Isaac didn’t expected happen. I knew it was going to happen soon. Well… sometimes… maybe… he never knows something.

[You Have Acquired The Skill “Blazing Floor”]

The ground went to flames. For the first time, the goblins were visible, their heads stared at the red demon in the sky with their souls screaming for help. It took longer than earlier but their bodies still fell to the flames, with even their ashes burning into retched smoke.

[You Have Gained 10 Soul Points]

[Wave 4 Starting]

[20 Goblins]

The moment Isaac arrived in the room he was left with 5 seconds to absorb the entire situation. The first and most noticeable change was that no magic particles were floating in the air.

Tsk. My mana is running out. Isaac’s body shivered. His skin itched and his eyes became blurry. I should probably stop the magic now… The fire that covered the floor disappeared. Isaac slapped his face multiple times and immediately headed down.

Like an airstrike with guns or a bird with a sword, Isaac’s tail struck the head like an arrow. A Goblin grabbed Isaac’s tiny leg. With a second to think of a response, Isaac slashed his feet, leaving it to the goblin, splattering its face with blood. Tsssssss. The amputated feet stung.

Isaac’s surroundings started to turn wobbly. There were still 19 Goblins on the floor, screaming “Kill” and “Demon” at Isaac. His concentration soon failed him and his wings fell to the ground. “I give up!”

[You Have Cleared 3 Waves]

[Kills: 18]

[Experience Points Is Being Distributed.]

[You Have Leveled Up]

[Your Injuries Have Been Healed.]

[Debuffs Have Been Removed.]

[Energy Has Reverted To Normal.]

Isaac dropped to his throne with his toe just getting healed. Fuck… I went in too early… Isaac shook his head and blew his breath. He stared at the screens in front of him, That’s a new feature… Never seen it, but thank you!

Isaac had leveled up 2 times and has recovered all injuries and fatigue. I have no way of seeing the experience points but… I have to put some stats around. Isaac closed all the previous screens and stopped for a moment on one thing.

[Souls Dome][Locked: 23:58:47]

Oh… I have a clock now. Isaac dragged the screen to his back and left it open. He then proceeded to what he was about to do.

Isaac immediately bounced back. Shit! My composure is still not stable I guess. He got back up and sorted his 4 different status screens in order.

Isaac thought of the goals he had in this life and the benefits the stats could actually give him. With just a stab of his tail, it had shown that his physical abilities already far surpass the “1” that shows in his stat. With his sharp body parts, physical strength was just not even needed at the moment.

Hmmm… Isaac thought for longer.

[Intelligence: 21]

In the end, he added everything into intelligence. Isaac had completely set himself into being a mage. Magic was a stat that he could easily get by circulating mana, also known as cultivation. With Intelligence being the source of a mage’s power, it was not a bad decision.

Isaac was left with a lot of free time and no raiders in sight. With a lot of options like the “Breeding” plan, teaching more alchemy, looking into his class, trying to do some weapon making, or getting stronger. Isaac was conflicted by the many tasks that he had to accomplish enriched by the amount of free time he had never ever gotten in his entire life.

I mean… what’s something that is wasted if I let it pass longer without confrontation? Isaac already knew the answer of course. He flew to the sky and headed down to the door of the Alchemy room. It hadn’t been long since he had gone to the Souls Dome, but with the loyalty of those goblins, unless Isaac ordered them to, they would never leave the room.

“Have you learned what I taught you yet, Goby?” Isaac opened the door and flew into the room and sat exactly above Goby. He stared at his eyes upside down from above his head. Goby’s entire body flinched, with his entire will that held his body together.

“Well, leave those bottles there and follow me back to the Summoner room.” Isaac dropped down to the ground and decided to walk.

“Goby, let me ask you something, do you know the dialect of Elves,” Isaac asked.

“Yes… Master.” Goby answered with his eyes twitching.

From now on Isaac started to speak in a different language that placed the other goblins excluded. “First, let me ask, you have used magic to forget your past, haven’t you.” He asked as they walked out of the room.

“Yes… Master.” Goby repeated with his hair crawling.

“Well, that is good to know. So… from now on I will tell you my plan. You are my first Guardian so you should act like one.” Isaac said.

“I will do my best, master,” Goby answered.

“That’s first,” Isaac remarked. Goby’s body shook and sweat slowly dripped down from his face. “Don’t say ‘I will do my best.’ say it with more confidence and clearer like ‘I will.’. You get what I mean right, Goby?” Isaac continued.

Goby stayed quiet for a few seconds and answered, “I will master.”.

“Good. Well, now let’s go into the real thing. I plan to breed goblins using that dead woman’s body.” Isaac stopped at that point waiting for Goby’s reaction. He looked back. Goby’s eyes widened and a huge question mark appeared above his head as he leaned back.

Can’t exclude it yet, it is magic. “Anyway, so you know how that works right?” He asked.

“Yes, master,” Goby answered.

“So, can you do that for me? Using magic you can probably make at least 10 goblins and if it’s not enough you can use the nutrients of the man if the dead body is not enough. Though it is my fault that I didn’t keep her alive.” Isaac continued to walk towards the summoning room.

The other goblins talked on their own in whispers. They wondered what they were talking about. Isaac grinned, Don’t worry… you’ll have fun soon my goblins.

“Master… I… I apologize but I do not know how to.” Goby answered.

Isaac immediately turned back and flew to the sky. His teeth nibbled on his nails and started to think. “How? You should have studied how your species were made.” Isaac said.

“Well, I do know, but making 10? Are- you talking about- making… goblins at a- mass rate?” Goby asked in confusion and fear.

He lived his life as a Goblin made through the rape of one of the smartest being or most power being alive. After that person dies to the birth of such an anomaly, he should have learned his own origins after getting out of the control of anyone… SHIT! I estimated too far! There was no way a goblin or maybe even his own world would do such a heinous thing as making biological goblin generators! Fuck Makendal! Fuck his insanity!

It took a whole second of thinking and he soon flew back down. “It’s simple, by providing magic throughout the entire body of the woman, you can control the sperm into the embryo, it is an estimated 8-10 goblin births. But if nutrients are lacking, transfer the babies into the man, if you can’t do that, just call for me.” Isaac said.

Goby was shocked by what he had just heard. It was an insane idea, it was basically a mortal acting God. He had seen many different actions of people going out of the boundaries of what is morally right, but hearing that, as his own kind, it felt weird in his chest. His magic cracked a little, but the image of the white figure immediately came into his mind. Without his control or will, he couldn’t back down nor disobey his new master.

“Yes, master,” Goby replied.

The two arrived at the summoning room. “I will do it as you told me to, master.” As the goblins entered the door, Isaac stood outside. That was close. The door closed as soon as all the goblins had gone inside. Isaac then flew up to his throne and sat on a crossed position.

Well, I hope that door is soundproof… It’s disgusting… but it’s necessary… I wish I could see the System’s reaction. Isaac was left with a huge smile and closed his eyes.
