I was enjoying a rare, deep sleep when sothing bright stabbed straight into my eyes.
I groaned, rolled to the side, and covered my face with my arm shouting. "Who’s the idiot shining a torch at my face?!"
But when I finally forced my eyes open, no one was there. Instead, a floating panel hovered in front of , glowing with red letters.
[Delivery System Starting...]
I blinked, then a second ti. "What the hell is this?" But before I could even process what was happening, a heavy footsteps shook both the ground and
It sounded like soone dragging a whole damn truck
Instinct hit like a slap, screaming at to run away. You don’t want to know what’s coming!
I did what every sane person would do in my situation and bolted away without looking back
Then it ca. A massive kobold, at least twice my size, built like a tank on two legs, burst out of the bushes with red eyes, lunging straight at .
Damn. My heart sank, rembering all the furry content from my previous life and how each one had a massive dong.
"Don’t tell I’m stuck in a furry BL novel!" I scread internally
"Oh, hell nah!" I tried to scramble back, but my legs weren’t cooperating. My limbs felt longer... and different?
He didn’t stop charging. I could’ve sworn he was shouting a na that sohow sounded familiar to .
Then he grabbed , and instead of crushing , he hugged . Really hard actually, to the point my spine cracked.
If I had to complain about sothing, it would be his foul breath.
"Seriously?" I groaned,
"Ragnar! Brother, where were you!? We looked for you all night! The clan’s losing their minds over your whereabouts!" he cried, his voice hitching.
And then he wiped his snot all over .
"Bro, really?" I groaned, pushing his face off my chest
This two-ter monster of muscle and scales was bawling on my shoulder like a lost puppy.
I just stared at him, ntally detached. My brain was stuck between Who are you? and Please don’t snap my spine in half.
"I... uh... yeah, I’m here?" I said with an awkward smile, honestly I didn’t even know my na?
Then I noticed sothing warm on my forehead, so I instinctively touched it with my claws.
"Wait, my claws?"
"Why the fuck do I have claws?" I shouted, ’the fuck? did I get experinted on or sothing’
But no one here was able to answer my question.
"This... absolutely nut!" I said the sa comnt I would say about every Dark Souls ga I played.
Because that’s the sa level of how fucked I was.
The shock settled in slowly, maybe because a talking kobold was still clinging to eased it.
Then mories weren’t mine rushed in, seeing myself running through the forest in the dark, then tripping over and finally falling on my head.
"Did I really... die because I tripped?"
Out of everything? Just because of simple gravity? Do Newton’s laws even apply here?
"You’ve got to be kidding ."
And apparently, I wasn’t even reincarnated into a decent kobold. Instead, I replaced one with terrible night vision, worse footing, and basically no survival instincts, the weakest kobold in existence.
The sa kind that people make s about him, and write fanfics about him.
et potential Kobold
Though, I doubt anyone would write a fanfic about a kobold like this.
Then it fell on . So I took a sneak peek at my little brother down there, and it looked HUGE.
I guess it wasn’t a big loss, but still. Could anyone explain the situation here?
As I kept thinking, the big kobold finally let go, then he stepped back with an embarrassed sniff.
"Ragnar... the elders will be relieved. Co on, let’s go back," he tugged my arm gently, like he thought I’d vanish again.
It was really adorable. This big kobold was really wholeso. My mories told that this Kobold was nad Val and he is my brother.
But then my attention snapped back to the floating panel, it finally finished loading.
[First Delivery Mission Generated]
Deliver 30 Valva to the nearby Goblin Clan
Rewards:
20 Tomado
5 Interaction Points
1 Evolution Chance
I deadpanned at it.
"Deliver fruit... to goblins... that hate us... Right." My voice kept fading with each word.
Valva and Tomado were forest fruits that the kobold clan usually traded. Valva was sweet and common, goblins especially loved it. anwhile, Tomado was rarer and valuable.
So if I delivered thirty Valva to the goblin clan, I’d get an evolution chance?!
But...a delivery between us was basically impossible.
It was so much difficult, the sa difficulty of 1 man vs. 100 gorillas, with each one of them having laser beams coming from its eyes.
anwhile, my brother, noticing my reaction, tilted his head at and said "What did you say Ragnar?"
"Nothing. Just the pain’s going away." I blurted hurriedly, masking my discomfort, and hearing my words, he looked relieved.
I wasn’t sure what the original Ragnar acted like with him, but I could fake it
I looked back at the panel, seeing the most important reward.
Valva... NO, I ant that 1 Evolution Chance.
That alone hooked . Evolution was a huge deal for monsters: more strength, better magic resistance, even stamina.
And honestly it sounded fun to evolve and unlock new skins, you know like a ga. Maybe I would even sprout draconic wings!
But to get my draconic wings, I had to finish this ridiculous quest first.
I paced a little, thinking. Goblins and kobolds hated each other, sure, but I rembered one crucial thing
Recently, the goblins were getting bullied by a group of low-IQ orcs that wandered near their territory, too dumb to raid, strong enough to beat goblins senseless for fun.
Everyone heard their complaints, even the kobolds.
I tapped my claws on my arm. If the goblins are desperate... they’ll negotiate.
If I helped them with their orc problem, they’d accept the delivery, and I would get my rewards. Everyone happy~
My brother’s ears twitched. "What are you mumbling?"
"A plan," I said. "A really good one." I added smiling.
He really didn’t get it, but he nodded anyway.
A small grin crept onto my face. Even in this small body, the thought of proving everyone was wrong excited !
"Brother," he said quietly, "we were really scared last night. Why did you run into the forest? Did sothing chase you?"
I glanced at him. ’Should I tell him Ragnar died because he tripped over air?’
’Yeah, nope. No way. I was starting my new life with that.’
"I’ll tell you later," I said. "Right now, we’re going ho because I need to prepare sothing."
"Prepare what?" He looked at puzzled.
I smirked. "A delivery."
He blinked at , then nodded with complete trust, I didn’t know was he goofy, or trusted too much
Then we walked back toward the kobold settlent under the heavy rain.
