Human King Chapter 2: Birth (2)

Where am I?

I hear the bird chirping and the moving of grass with the wind.

I open my eyes to see the sun shining brightly and the vivid images of the trees.

I try to move but for so reason, my body is so heavy. Despite that, there seems to be no problem with my body unlike the ti I first ca to.

I move my head left and right to see where the hell I am. In the place where the goblin used to be is a pile of bones and its dried up blood.

"Gugh"

Realizing that I probably ate it, I instinctively let out a growl but unlike before, I don't feel repulsed about eating it... Why is that?

Swish.

While I was contemplating about that, a noise from my left gets my attention. A wolf ca out of a bush and eyes as if I am free food.

"Guraaa!!"

I bellowed out a roar to scare it but in truth, I really don't know how to get out of this ss. I still can't move my body and even if I do, can I even beat a wolf that looks like it evolved?

The wolf shows off its fangs as if to compete with and walks up to with caution.

I try to move my arms and legs but alas I really can't. I probably look like a slug trying to move in front of this bastard.

---Shit! My body... I still can't move it!

The wolf is just a few steps away to bare its fangs to my side and take a piece of . He prepares himself while I let out another roar full of desperation.

"GUAHHH!"

The wolf runs and the sound of twigs breaking can be heard.

Dudududu.

The ground shook.

I roll my body away in the mont that he jumps hoping he'll miss.

Swish. Boom!

The loud impact of landing caused my ears to ring but it doesn't hurt...?

I shift my head to see what happened and an evolved jaguar has interfered with the feasting of the wolf.

The wolf, agitated with the entrance of a new enemy, growls. The jaguar answers back.

While they were bickering with each other, I try to see if I can move my body to escape this place.

And as if to answer my hopes, I can move although not so fast.

I again crawl to move out of their sight when their competition reaches its peak. Fortunately, they don't seem to have any interest in anymore.

After moving a fair distance away from the glade, I stand up to inspect my surroundings to check if I am now safe.

I went inside a cave that I found after checking the area and as I sit, I realize sothing.

---Why is my body like this?

Looking at my arms and my body that are green and small and even my face seem to have changed its shape...?

I feel ashad. My pride is broken like I have fallen from great heights. I don't really know why but my insides are telling that it is humiliating to transform into a monster, let alone a goblin.

However as I am now a goblin, the instincts of a goblin are fighting that disgust, that sha. I spent hours trying to contemplate on what happened but nothing cos to mind. Well, there's nothing I can do about it at this stage.

Pondering about the questions that cannot be answered made my stomach growl. I am hungry. I still don't know how I survive as a goblin in this forest but staying in a cave with no food will definitely kill off.

I decided to scout for food, animals that I can catch. Though when I think about it, rabbit is all that I can catch...

Walking outside of the cave with a sigh, I notice that the darkness has spread its wings and the moon showing its full brilliance.

I walk around in the forest with the night as my cover as I search for my prey.
