Inside the summoning room, where a woman with a balloon as her stomach lay, Goby stayed on guard, waiting for the moment to come.
A goblin doesn’t take long to form, at the minimum it only takes five days before the body turns completely white and dies.
And at that moment, it had been five days already. Goby, despite his intelligence, didn’t know this fact, but still, without leaving much time for it to be alone, he stayed. It was just a gut feeling, but he knew it was about time.
Goby sat at the opposite wall of the woman. He hugged his staff with his eyes closed, in a crass position, and head tilted to his shoulder.
“Krkr…” A soft screech echoed in the room.
“Ah.” Goby woke up and immediately looked at the door. He stood for any signs of Isaac, but there was none. He then looked at the woman and saw a small green hand on the oversized stomach.
It’s time. Goby strolled as not to disturb the baby goblins. Multiple screeches soon came and from experience, he knew those goblins only had seconds until they burst out hungry for food.
“My lo- or..d…” Goby was perplexed by what he just looked at.
“You don’t have to be so surprised by my appearance, I just had some troubles.”
“But where!?” Goby took a stance and readied his staff.
“Goby, if it was inside here, you would have heard it already… wouldn’t you have?” Isaac said with an expressionless face.
Goby shivered, it was like the first time he saw Isaac. At that moment, he learned a new thing about the demon, and it freaked him out.
“I would, I’m sorry, my lord.”
“Then what is the prob- Oh, I hear it.”
Isaac flew up the sky with wings that had multiple holes. His body still hadn’t fully regenerated. With half of his chest that floated, and the tip of his head that showed his brains.
He burst inside the open summoning room. The baby goblins had already come out of the woman’s womb and as expected had already begun to feast their own mother.
“Should I call help from the other goblins my lord?” Goby kneeled.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, and… ten. Better than I ever expected, did Goby do this? Wow.
“What?” He looked back to Goby. “No, don’t call them, it will make them sad.”
“Huh?”
Isaac flew past Goby and headed for the configuration room. I can finally use this part of the tower.

Now, where should I put them? I guess I should just do the first floor. Isaac tapped and another screen appeared.
[Monsters]
[18 Goblins]
[6 Orcs][Heavily Injured]
[Guardians]
[Goby]
[Daranda]
He tapped onto the goblins and a bar appeared in front of him. It was a line that asked for how many of the monsters he wanted to assign to the floor.
[Are You Sure You Want To Assign 10 Goblins To Floor 1?]
“Yes.”
[Are You Really Sure?]
“Yes…” Isaac was taken aback.
[Based On Your Numbers, It Would Be Wise To Allocate Them Evenly.]
“I said yes you bitch and what do you know.”
The System finally obliged and showed another graph that separated the adults from the baby goblins. Isaac maximized the baby ones and threw all of them to the first floor.
Now, can I also throw things from my storage or anything else?
[Storage]
[Human Corpse(Male)]

Oh good, it really feels like this tower is just giving me shit it never knew it needed. Hahaha! Isaac laughed with his teeth closed.
Well, I should probably check on the screen now to see how it looks. Isaac went out of the room and found Goby ran toward him.
“My lord! The baby goblins disappeared! I am so sorry! Le-”
“Shut up Goby, once again do you seriously think, something like that can happen in my domain?”
He really isn’t in a good mood. Goby laid his head low and did not dare to even look. To avoid suspicions about his posture, he kneeled down and apologized. “I’m sorry my lord.” But wha- just don’t ask! Goby fought with his own curiosity.
Isaac stared at Goby without a word.
Goby, now that he had kneeled for long in silence, had begun to worry. Isaac did not speak, whatever the reason was it could only mean two things. He had gone away because he was so mad, or that he wanted to kill Goby.
He looked up to see where Isaac had gone. Isaac’s eyes locked onto his, as his head lifted from the ground. He gasped air immediately and looked down again.
“Hmph, I thought you were a great mage Goby, I guess you lack confidence if you keep fearing me like this… I wonder just how you can ever be… useful, I mean… do I even need a mage… when I’m already one?”
Goby shivered. “I’m sorry my lord! I’ll be honest! My body just shivers on its own whenever I look into your eyes! My lord!”
“My eyes? Are they really that scary?”
Goby gulped once more, “Whenever your aura exudes some seriousness, it makes me scared, my lord! I apologize wholeheartedly! I will-”
“Stop.” Isaac shook his head. Without his own knowledge, his eyes had looked dead from the beginning. The more he looked back, he also noticed his cold and monotone voice. It was not intentional in the slightest.
He flew down and placed his hand on Goby’s shoulders. “Don’t you even think of killing yourself, you will only die… using… my hands.”
Isaac flew back up and slowly headed to the orb. “Oh, and I didn’t notice my tone and eyes earlier, I’m sorry. I was just a little under the weather. Okay!”
Goby gulped again, this time he almost choked on it. How many times am I going to unconsciously gulp my saliva… I would rather pee. He looked down immediately from worry. After a short look, he wiped his forehead of sweat and sighed.

The orb opened its screens once more. This time onto the first floor. Hmm… seems to be doing quite well.
Ten goblins all gathered into one spot. Their hands dug at one place and their mouth constantly chewed every second. Isaac stayed on the screens until the baby goblins finally wandered around.
They acted as if they didn’t even notice they moved places. Though he had already expected this from their intelligence.
Soon the baby goblins finally moved from their spots. Their hands were filled with bones that they desperately chewed as their teeth broke.
A skeleton with not a single piece of flesh left laid on to the floor. It was the body of the male corpse he dragged onto with the goblins. Now that they were filled, if they ever got hungry again, they had no choice but to eat their own. But to Isaac that was okay, they were just test dummies. But… they are quite… lacking… if I say so myself. I mean, it’s 10 goblins, and the room is quite big, but it’s just… too little. It matches perfectly… and that’s the problem.
Isaac bit his nails and ticked his saliva. After a few seconds of thought, he flew back to the summoning room and decided, he was rich enough for a couple of goblins. Though if I do this, it just feels like my breeding plan was useless… but at the same time, I never really thought I would earn thousands of money this easily.
[Summoning Screen][15,025 Soul Points]
[Goblins][25 Soul Points]
[Kobold][50 Soul Points]
[Orc][100 Soul Points]
[Ogre][250 Soul Points]
And would you look at that, I’m rich. Isaac pressed the goblin and soon 20 goblins appeared from the pedestal; all jumping out from the amount that was cramped in such a small space.
He then went out of the room and closed the door. Isaac headed back to the configuration room and sent all the twenty goblins from the summoning room.
Can I please specify it for just the ones in the summoning room? If not I’ll kill myself again. Isaac clicked with full faith on his random threat. He hurridly went out and looked to his right, the place where the alchemy room was at.
He waited for a few seconds and there were no signs of any reaction. After that, Isaac headed back to the summoning room. Good.
Now, it should look a bit cramped. It had already been a lot of back and fort; that was the last time. The screens again opened, just as soon as Isaac came close to the orb. So I can control them with just my mind… nIce.
The screen monitored the room directly from the ceiling. It was a basic square that was now cluttered with green color like it was a virus. Isaac smiled with content inside his heart. He headed back to his throne and sat.
That’s good now, I probably should rest again. Get this body fixed, and tmrw… I really don’t know what else to even do anymore. But before that happened, his mind fixated back onto his lectures to Goby. His body shivered from the uncomfortable feeling. Yeah… It feels awkward to… seem… that… evil.
