So far so good. I am curious as to why my weight isn’t going up since my strength is going up though. Seems kinda weird to me. Oh well.
I get dressed in the clothes that Alex had bought. I put on a nice pair of jeans and black short sleeve shirt. I then brushed my teeth and went to the living room. Yea I’m a normal person who brushes their teeth.
I went to the living room and saw that Corvin was already up. I just nod at him while I go and make some coffee. I’d probably stab a bitch today if I didn’t have any. I patiently wait for the pot to brew as Corvin steps into the kitchen.
“So we need to be leaving in about an hour. I texted my dad, he’s an elder, and asked for a ride after explaining everything.”
“Alright. Need this coffee though.” I shrug.
“Ok. Mind if I get a cup?” He asks.
“Nah bro feel free.”
The coffee finishes brewing and I take mine dark and bitter, like my soul. Honestly I just want some caffeine otherwise I woulda put brown sugar and almond milk in it. Once finished with my cup I go and take a crap.
By the time I’m done, I played some games on my phone, it was time to leave. Corvin had gotten a call on his phone while I was doing paperwork and slaying demons.
“Car is out front.” He says to me.
“Well let’s do this then.” I huff.
We head out the door and down the stairs to leave. Soon we are standing out front
staring at a large black suv. Honestly this is way too cliche for my tastes. I turn around and start to head back into my apartment.
“Hey! No! Come on man. Just do this please.” Corvin begs me.
Honestly I can’t say no to a grown man begging so I reluctantly get into the suv with him. Inside is all tan and nice and bright. The contrast was a little surprising but I am glad that they didn’t go with dark inside as well. As I sit down I notice that the suv has both rows in the back facing each other. Directly across from us is a rather large man.
He was probably around 6 foot 7 and had to weigh at least three hundred pounds. Bulging muscles could be seen all across his body even though he wore a perfectly tailored suit. He had a wickedly thick mustache and dark brown eyes. Over his head was Talon Southpaw and yes he was a weretiger as well.
“I assume you are Corvin’s father?” I ask.
“Good guess. Now what’s this I hear about you being a Goliath?” Talon responds as we pull away from the curb.
“Yea I’m a Goliath.” I reply.
“My son has told me your story but I would like to hear it from you.”
So I delve into my whole life story while leaving out the little parts about the system and all that. My story didn’t last long though so we hadn’t even gone halfway to our destination yet. Once I finished there was a pause as Talon digested my words.
“Well that’s what my son told me.” He sighed as he rubbed his temples. “Listen we have an elder for every race and now that you are the only Goliath in existence you will have to be the elder for them. At least that is what I assume.”
“OK but you said every race. Like how many races are there?” I ask.
“Oh… um i guess that would be every race that is in folklore. They all are real we just hide very well. It helps that we have a separate dimension that we live in. We call it the underworld. Nice place for us to be our true selves.” Talon replied.
“Yea! It’s great! You get to do just about whatever you want and I can be in my were form all the time!” Corvin chimed in.
“Ok well what about unicorns?” I ask. Honestly I just want to ride one.
“Yea we got those. Bunch of pricks though.” Talon huffed.
We go silent as I contemplate how my life was about to change. It hasn’t even been three days yet! I will say though that its has been super fun so far. It took about 30 minutes for us to get to where we were going.
I start to get ready to head out of the car but Talon stops me. “Hold on bud. We’re going to Underworld. Just stay in the car and be prepared to be amazed.”
Ok… I sit there and wait. A couple seconds pass and then we are sitting in a large black wood carriage being pulled by four flaming horses! The fucking car morphed! That was amazing!
“Welcome to Underworld!” Talon said in a booming voice. “Oh and these fine stallions are known as Nightmares!”
And he lost me. Ugh so lame. “You ruined it with the lameness.” I mutter. I guess he heard me cuz he now has a sour look on his face.
This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.
I look around and see that we are right outside of a large medieval looking city complete with a castle in the middle. We head in through the front gates and head to the castle. I could see many different types of creatures and people as we passed through the city. Werewolves, dragonkin, elves and even a giant! The giant though turned to me with a surprised look on his face before turning and heading on to the castle as well.
We get to the castle and a squad of about 15 guards of mixed races greet us. Nice to see that there isn’t an issue with races here. I always hated those books that showed a lot of racism and shit.
We get out and go into the castle. I could barely pay any attention to where we were because we turned down way too many halls and went through a bunch of doors. Eventually I find myself in an arena like area that is brightly lit. All around me are a bunch of old people of every race imaginable.
“Welcome Zach. I want to start off by saying how glad I am that you came here peacefully.” Said someone in front of me. I looked at him but didn’t see a name above his head. I guess he was too far away from me.
“Yea well it’s not like I had much of a choice.” I replied.
He chuckled lightly and a window popped up in front of me.
Sorry this is late.
New Quest! Join the Elders!
Reward: 500 Gold and 100 EXP.
I mean I was told I was gonna anyways so ok.
“I also would like to thank you for not killing my great great great great great great grandniece.” He said. Wait how old was this guy?
“Uhm yea… who is she?” I asked.
“Alex.” He stated.
“Oh no problem! Wouldn’t want to see a pretty lady like her dead anyways. Plus she was always a polite neighbor.” I reply happily. Gotta get on his good graces! Might have a chance at her.
“Well that is good. I am sure that her fiance will be happy as well.” He said casually.
Damnit. “Ok well what now?” I ask.
“Well seeing as how you are the last of your race we want you to join the elders. Honestly that is it. I am sure the giant elder also wants to speak with you. Other than that we got nothing. You will have some duties but other than that you are young so we won't call on you much.” He said with anticipation in his voice.
“Yea sure. I can do that.” Might as well make it easy.
Quest completed! Join the Elders!
Reward: 500 Gold and 100 EXP.
“Great! I am so glad to hear that. Well we will depart now. I am sure that Gur has a lot to talk to you about.” He said as they all vanished. Well everyone but Talon and some Giant that I am assuming is Gur.
The giant stands up and he is a mountain of a man. I also notice that he is the one I saw coming in here. I also see that my guess was correct.
“Hello Giant kin.” He rumbled out. It sounded like mountains crumbling around me.
I looked around and notice that Talon and Corvin have left me alone. “Um Hi.” I manage to mutter.
“You seem confused. Why?” He asked.
“Honestly this is just happening a bit fast for me. I mean one minute I was a normal guy, or so I thought, but now I am an elder. I mean It hasn’t even been three days since I found out what I am.” I tell him.
“Ah Yes. Well we don’t like to do things slowly here. You will adjust. Now come. I have prepared a nice mansion for you. It was actually the home of your kind before they vanished. I hope you enjoy it. It is a ways away from here though.”
“Oh! That sounds lovely. Um one question though.”
“Yes?”
“How will I get back to my apartment?” I ask him.
“Oh no worries. We brought all of your things back to the mansion. This happened on your ride here. Honestly that was why you rode here rather than a teleport. Gave us time.”
“Oh. Wait I thought my technology didn’t work here.”
“Who said that?” He asked me.
“No one…” I said sheepishly.
“Then stop assuming.” He chided.
He then proceeds to grab me in one of his huge hands and sets me on his shoulder. I may or may not have squealed a little when that happened. I then realize that he was at least three hundred feet tall. It was kinda hard to fathom.
We set out and his feet make the ground tremble when he steps. “So what do you know of Underworld?” He asks me as he walks.
“Not much.” I reply.
“Good allow me to explain. First off we are peaceful in this part if the world. There are many other places that are feral but that is for another day. The main thing you need to concern yourself is to govern your land peacefully.”
“Wait. My land?” I cut him off.
“Let me get to it. Yes you have land. It has gone untamed for a long time now. You see every race has their own specific land in this world. We have to govern it properly and take care of our people. Now you will have many different races in your land so you will have to learn how to deal with each and every one of them.
You will also be in charge of many other things but since you are so young we will just start off with bringing your land back under control.”
New Quest! Take control of your lands!
Reward: 50,000 Gold and 10,000 EXP.
Yes! First big quest!
“Now we should be there shortly. Why don’t you just take in the scenery as I walk. It is good to gain an appreciation for the world you know.” He said.
I sit back on his shoulder and watch as we pass out of the city. We soon pass through fields that have anything from centaurs to ogres tending crops. We soon pass them by and enter a forest. I can see what I only assume are wood elves flitting through the trees.
We passed through the forest for about an hour following along a large path that seemed to be made for Gur and others his size. After the trees we are, well he is, walking through tall grass that stretch as far as I can see. This goes on for a while until I see some mountains looming up in the distance.
“Ah we are almost there. Those mountains are the land of the dwarves. You are among the hills right before them. Your land actually encompasses a forest with plains around it and all of the land at the base of the mountain to the north side of it. Lucky for you we are traveling south so we don’t have to go around the mountain. You do have a lake in between your mansion and the forest.
Now the forest has a very diverse amount of life in it and I must say that it is the largest forest that we have tamed here. These plains we are walking through are the farthest north your land goes. Your land totals up to about four thousand square miles. Ah we are about to enter your forest. See?”
I look ahead and sure enough I see a forest that takes up all the land that I can see in front of us. The trees themselves make Gur look small. If I were to guess I would say at least a thousand feet tall.
It takes us a half an hour to get to the trees. All in all Gur has been walking for 5 hours. The sun is getting low on the horizon. He seems to notice this too and breaks off into a run.
The land flies by as he is easily traveling a hundred miles an hour! It’s ridiculous! Who knew such a large man could move that fast.
We quickly enter the forest and I can barely tell that there is another path that seems to be meant for Gur right in front of us. We travel for another three hours before we come out of the trees. In front of us is a large lake that shines a nice and deep blue.
Gur keeps running and skirts around the lake. We continue on for a half an hour before I see the mansion come into view. It’s huge and very modern looking. Nice Brick on the outside and around three stories tall. I can see that it has been well taken care of.
The lawn seems to be trimmed nicely around it and then I see that there are what looks like lights lining the walkways around it. We quickly end up at the front and Gur takes me off his shoulder and sets me down at the front door.
“It is late Zach. Go in and go to bed. There is a butler that has been kept on duty at all times just in case your race would return. He has been waiting for you. We will meet again. I must go home. If you ever need anything just know that I own the land to the south of the mountains. Good night my new little friend.” He says as he turns to leave.
“Night and thank you!” I shout as I waive to him.
I must admit that I have been very trusting towards everyone lately but then again I am living one of my fantasies now. With a happy sigh I turn and open the large double doors to my new home. Heh. Home, that has a nice ring to it.
As soon as I enter I am greeted by a large Orc woman. I can tell by her name and race above her head. Oh and her name is Sonia. “Good evening lord. My name is Sonia and my family have been taking care of this place for many centuries. I know that you are weary but I would like to inform you that we need to hire some more people to take care of the mansion. We will do this tomorrow of course. I just wanted to let you know.”
“Ah that sounds good. I am Zach by the way. It is a pleasure to meet you.” Boy was it. She was 6 foot 8 and a perfect balance of muscle and womanly charm. Deep blue eyes that looked like sapphires and two small tusks protruded from her bottom jaw. She was wearing casual clothing that consisted of skin tight jeans and a loose buttoned up blouse that showed a decent amount of cleavage.
“No the pleasure's all mine.” She replied. “Please follow me so we can get you in bed. Are you in need of a bath?” She asked.
“No. I’m good. Just ready to end the day.” I reply.
“Very well. This way my lord.”
“Please just Zach.”
“Very well Zach.”
I follow her up two flights of stairs and into a large master bedroom. It had to have been three times the size of my apartment. In the middle was a bed that was four times the width and twice the length of a normal king size bed.
“Do you need help undressing?” She asked.
“Oh! N..no. I’m good.” I stammered.
She smiled and left with a slight bow. After she was gone I flopped onto my bed and bask in my new situation. The bed was super nice too. It was firm but yielded in all the right spots.
I quickly undress and get under the covers. As soon as I closed my eyes I fell into a deep sleep.
