[Day 9]
The baby goblins that adopted are still babies. Two are females and one of them is a male. Most likely by tomorrow they'll grow up to become children. I decided to seam some clothes so by tomorrow when they become the size of elementary students they'll have something to wear. While i try to make clothes for the goblins I sent One to hunt food for the babies. Creating clothes are not as easy as it looks. I continuously keep poking my fingers with holes using the needle. After a few hours I finally created a shirt. I need to make two more. I became frustrated and hoped that the female human came back to do these stitching. When the needle prickled me again I threw the pelt against the wall out of frustration. Then realized that One hasn't returned yet. I began to worry. I decided to go out and look for One. I hope that he hasn't been eaten by a Purple Snake. I told him to avoid Purple Snakes because something similar like before my happen again.
I stepped out of the cave and i saw One, who looked beaten up dragging a horned goat. I asked him what happened. He said that he didn't want to disobey me by encountering Purple Snake so he decided to look for food in the mountains. When he arrived at the mountain there were herds of mountain climbing goats. It took him a while because the goats kept climbing up and down. He said he didn't want to come back home empty-handed so he kept going after one goat until he finally killed it. I patted One's head and told him he did a good job. When he heard my compliment he smiled while he wagged his tail. I asked him where the goats were he pointed to a direction east from the cave. I told him to go inside and feed his siblings and that I'll go out hunting for more goats.
I arrived at the mountain in the far east of the cave and there were many goats grazing. I decided to after the nearest one and touch it with my index finger to use [Paralysis Skin]. I lunged at the goat and it jumped to a higher area of the mountain. I decided to attack group of them for a higher chance that I'll be able to touch one of them. I lunged towards a group of five. I manage to grab one of its hind legs. With my left index finger I used [Paralysis Skin]. It stopped moving and I began consuming it.
Ability [Nimble Foot] learned.
Ability [Mountaineering] learned.
The goats began making noise in unison. Suddenly a black goat came rushing down towards me. I stood up and dodged the attack. Surprisingly I moved very fast. It must have been due to [Nimble Foot] ability. I began to jump side to side and felt as if I was floating as i lifted my self. The black goat turned around and once again charged towards me. I jumped and then flipped over the goat touching its face with my left index finger. The black goat slammed into the wall of the mountain. I couldn't move due to my [Paralysis Skin] ability. I used my beetle horn to cut its throat but It couldn't penetrate the skin. I kept trying to force the beetle horn to penetrate the skin but the skin was too tough and the beetle horn snapped into two. I took a rock and smashed the head of the black sheep. Its skin was still intact but the skull was smashed. I decided to keep smashing it but its skin was too strong. I began consuming the paste which came out of its body.
Ability [Advance Nimble Foot] learned.
Ability [Improved Charging Power] learned.
Ability [Steel Skin] learned.
Ability [Steel Hide] learned.
After smashing its insides to a pulp with a rock and consuming all of the paste I decided to go back to the cave with the black goat's skin. I stored it for future use. After storing the black goat skin, I saw One and the three baby goblins sleeping besides each other. I decided to join them and slept beside them.
[Day 10]
I woke up and felt different. I looked at my hand it was bigger. My hands are covered in dark metallic blue color. I took the steel buckler shield and looked at my reflection on it. I changed. My whole body is colored in dark metallic blue. I was taller and my reflection looked like me before I died except for the color of my skin and the silver hair. I am not a goblin anymore it's as if I evolved. I wish I knew more about everything and why they happen. As I was in deep thoughts about lacking knowledge, One looked up to me smiling while wagging his tail. Behind him were three children goblins. The goblins grew just as I predicted. I decided to give the shirt I made yesterday to one of the females. I also took off my shirt which was properly made by the female human and gave it to the other female goblin. I took off my pants which was extremely tight for me and gave it to the male goblin. I grabbed the bag of pelts and the threads and needle and decided to attempt to make myself a new set of pants. Due to the previous one that I handed down was extremely tight I need to make a bigger one.
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
I spent most the day making my pants. While I was stitching the pelts together to make a pair of pants, I observed the goblin children and wondered what I should name them. I decided to name the male Mojo and the females Buttercup and Blossom. Once I was finished I decided to take out the kids to see their abilities. I gave the three of them horns of mountain goat. I told them to attack me one at a time. Mojo is slow but persistent. Buttercup is fast but she gets tired easily. Blossom was the same as Buttercup. After observing i decided that everyone needs to start doing some endurance training. After we ate something i told everyone to sleep because tomorrow we start training.
[Day 11]
We woke up early in morning. I taught them how to stretch, then after stretching we ran to the mountain where the mountain goats lives. Once we arrived i decided to kill one of the goats and gave it the children to eat. I killed one more just for my self. I killed four goats after everyone had their rest. We ran to the cave while each of the children dragged the carcass of a mountain goat. If this was back before i died. These actions would be considered child abuse. But these were not ordinary children. They were goblins and a half Kobold children. After we arrived in the cave i decided to let them rest. While the children rested, took out the bag animal skins that i got from the female human's cart. I noticed something strange with some of them. They were stitched up into some kind of container. I saw that it had an end which is plugged by a piece of wood. I opened it and it was water. I took out the rest of the animal skin and there were six big bags of animal skin container. Then I realized that we had no source of water in the cave. All this time we relied on the blood of the things that we killed to quench our thirst. I decided to end the training for the day since it was the first day. We two of the goat that we got from the mountain then went to sleep.
[Day 12]
We began the day with stretching. I bought out the water containers that I discovered inside the bags of animal skin. I gave each of the children one and I carried two for myself. I decided that we would run to the river which was far beyond the goat mountain. Once we arrived the children were exhausted. They lay on the ground gasping for air. After resting we filled the water container made from animal skin. The containers filled until it was taller than the children. It was as heavy as a goat's carcass. We continued filling the containers. Then an arrow came from the other side of the river. It was a human on a horse. I told the children to hide behind the trees. I dropped the water container and decide to hide behind on the trees. The human crossed the river by jumping to our side using his horse. He pointed his bow at one the children and I charged at the human then jumped over him and his horse before he could release his arrow. While in the air I managed to grab his arm. I touched his skin with my left index finger to use [Paralysis Skin]. The human froze then I took the knife that he has on his waist and shoved it into his chest.
The children had a frightened look on their face. I told them that this is one of the reasons why I want them all to be strong. I want them to be able to defend themselves and their brothers and sisters. The children listened to every word that I said and nodded their head in admiration. I took the human far from the children and consumed his body.
Ability [Ranger-Job] learned.
Ability [Archery Proficiency] learned.
Ability [Tracking] learned.
Ability [Crafting] learned
I kept the clothes that the human wore and put it on. It was the right size for me and was very comfortable. The boots were nice as well and looked brand new, luckily it fitted me. I took the bow and all the quivers that he had. I checked his bag which was on the horse. There were whet stones, a map and some flints.
I took the horse and stacked the bags of water container on it. The children and I went back to the cave.
Once we arrived i taught them the basics of aikido. Then after i taught them how to use a bow and arrow which i just learned recently. After training i looked at the map.

I stared at it for a while. I looked and compared the place where the cave is. If i was correct than there's a village beyond the river. I folded the map and put it somewhere safe. We ate the horse that was owned by the human that attacked us. I told the children to sleep so they can have lots of rest for tomorrow. As lay on the ground staring at the cave's ceiling. I started to wonder why i was here.
