I sat in a pile of hay unable to sleep, it's not like anything was keeping me up I just couldn't, I guess yesterday was just an exception. It was a weird feeling being in this body, all I feel is a constant numbing sensation, like I'm watching everything through a screen. It makes sense though I don't have any nerves so I can't really feel anything that happens to me.

Walking over to the barn door and trying to open it I felt a resistance. "The farmer must of put a bar or something on the door so I couldn't escape" the second I said that I felt something crash into the door, I don't know what it was but it sounded angry, but if the blockade is on the other side of the door doesn't that mean I'm completely screwed.

I looked around for a place to escape and found a small window at the top of the barn. I reached up and climbed through it onto the roof. I looked down to see what was bashing into the door, smashing itself into the door was a sold black creature that had the head and torso of a wolf but also had four spider-like legs and horns that popped out of their head like dead trees.

It was a hide wolf. This is bad, hide wolves are E rank monsters, they have the rank mostly for their speed with it sitting around the 50 mark which is way higher than their strength at about 15odd but that was still enough to where a small pack could take down an entire group of E rank hunters. I had to leave.

I slowly climbed down the side of the building, I almost fell over when my feet hit the ground earlier than I expected. I slowly creeped my way away from the farm so I wouldn't get caught. The second was far enough away I stood up and ran as fast as I could, it was my first time running in my new body and I almost fell a few times.

I jumped out of the forest and rolled onto a small dirt road in-between two forests. The first forest was the misty one I just came from, it had tall lanky trees the seemed to stand at least a hundred metres tall. The second looked much more normal, it's trees had green and orange leaves and brown bark(unlike the grey creepy one), while the trees looked to range about 10 to 30 feet tall so some of them where only a little taller than me which felt kind of weird.

I stood up and tried to walk to the non-nightmare fuel forest when suddenly a bright pink light appeared from the forest behind me. I turned around to see what was going on when suddenly I heard a voice.

"Gate perimeter has been enclosed, as per accordance with slave magic all slaves will be next to their master when event begins." I closed my eyes when the light appeared again and suddenly I was at the farm again.

I was standing next to the goblin farmer's house where the hide wolf was staring at me, it sat their for a few seconds before running off the second the voice spoke again.

"Perimeter has been sealed, beginning gate formation in 10..." I suddenly felt the door swing open into me and saw the farmer climb out with a bruised shovel in his hand. He ran past me not even paying attention to me lying on the floor and ran into the woods.

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

"9... 8... 7..." After sitting in shock for a few seconds I decided to follow him and found myself outside the goblin village, I looked around to see all the goblins holding crudely made weapons but for some reason all the krot weren't anywhere to be seen.

"Opening gate." suddenly all the goblins began to scream and bang their drums, normally I would of probably stuck behind them but they where screaming like madmen so I didn't want to chance losing one of my arms trying to get past.

Pretending to be blissfully unaware of my own bad luck I started running in a random direction.

After running for about 5 minutes I fell to the ground, I still wasn't tired but I was Just fed up with exercising, my joints where starting to creek since they where being used so much, why did I reincarnate as a wooden doll of all things.

"What was that" I heard a voice say from a near by. I instantly stood up to see a small party of adventurers and smiled with glee.

"Millette?" a voice said from the back of the group, it was Katie, she was holding a bow and arrow with a mortified look on her face. Suddenly I felt something hit me in the chest, I felt like I was going to through up blood, but I had no blood to give.

"Nice, new species" said a short man standing next to Katie, he held a smoking magic revolver in his hand. I began to fall to the floor and two muscular people(A man and a woman) pinned my arms and legs.

"You must be some kind of demon, you probably mimic the face people who died recently in your victim's live, honest I'm surprised I haven't seen something like you sooner it seems like such a better tactic than what the succubus do but then again that's probably why" he continued with a grin before placing his revolver on my forehead "Don't worry captain I'll take care of her".

"NO! It's my kill" Katie yelled as she walked towards me "You monsters really are scum, you really think you can get away with impersonating my friend" she said with hatred in her voice while aiming her bow at my head "{Inherent Art: Soul Eradication}" was the last thing I heard, then everything went black.

--

"All participants have been revived, removing perimeter." I shot up in a panic.

"did I just die?" I said to myself as thoughts seemed to whirl about my head so fast I couldn't focus on any of them but suddenly one sprung out at me, Katie is so much stronger than I thought.

{Skill Art}s can only be achieved by people who are above S rank so how could Katie get one after only being awakened for a month, she looked the exact same so it's not like I time travelled. She must of spammed dungeons, she only showed up on the T.E.A's website 2 weeks ago so she has to be hiding something. Not only that, she also awakened with a super op [Inherent Skill], [Soul Piercer] is a [Skill] that ignores any defence skills, since it evolved into and {Art} its ability basically becomes super charged for all I know it could completely ignore all defences.

I needed to find a way to protect myself from high level fighters, if I get an [Immortality] skill I would be able to live without having to fight but the only ways to do that is to get the skill from a monster that's above S rank or turn [Unaging] into an {Art}, so it is practical impossible.

To get a skill off of a S+ monster I would either have to defeat them or have them bestow a skill to me, S+ rank monsters usually have a high ranking regeneration skill and anything Dragon rank and above is basically 100% chance of [Regeneration - Perfect] which would make me technically immortal to anything under A rank. The other option is to get to S+ rank which would mean I'd need at least one stat of S+ quality or several S+ skills... So basically that's not happening.

My best bet is to find a place that has absolutely no monsters or people at all but I have a bigger problem right now, if Katie was here that meant that I'm either still on Earth and there's a broken tindrift somewhere in this forest or I'm stuck in another universe and I can't get out until a tindrift shatters.

I stood up and started walking back to the farm, I still wanted to see something before the farmer woke up. It's not that important but the farmer brought a large bag back with him when he returned last night, I kind of want to see what it is before he wakes up. I might be able to find something to do with goblin culture and find a way to remove the slave marking.

I got back to the farm and walked up to the goblin's house, I opened the door, and stepped inside.
