Adventures Of A Goblin

"..."

"..."

it is too quiet.....

"..."

I wonder for how long I have to lay on my back like this?.

"gruuuuu....."

Not now stomach. Even if I say that, it is not like I have control over it. I should find something to eat, but where can I?, in this pitch darkness and with my body rendered immobile.

"gruuuuuuu....."

Damn it, I have to do something or I might end up dying of starvation.

"gruuuuuuuuu...."

like it or not, I have to move my body, I have to force it to move. I will muster up whatever power I have in it and forcefully move.

As an infant, my legs are too small to make any movement, what I can do now is crawl. I will crawl on my four to wherever it is I can find food.

Move..., move..., move...., Nice...., I managed to roll my face to the ground.

thanks to the dim light coming from the blue panel, I am able to see a little bit of what is in my front. Who knew it would work pretty well as a torch.

food, food, food...

"!!!"

wh....what is this?, hmm...., this?, It feels squishy..., what is it?... flesh?..., A green flesh to be more precise.

this is no doubt the flesh of a human, or at least something akin to a human since humans don't have green flesh. If this is the finger, the head should be at the top.

I will follow the finger to find the top and use the blue panel light to see what the face looks like.

eieekkk...

A....a.....,a monster,

I....i....I need to run.....

I struggled on my fours to get as far away from the monster with two sharp canine teeth, two very long ears and a stretched out nose. The speed I was able to achieve despite my attempt is equal to that of a hundred year old turtle.

Hold on a minute...., Something is wrong?, even though I am moving so slow, the monster has not attacked me when it definitely could have.

Now that I look at it more closely, it is not moving. A pale green skin, not beautiful pale, it's more of a famished pale. It's mouth wide open and it's eyes closed, did it starve to death?, what a pitiful soul it is.

I must say though, I have never seen a monster like this before, Is it a deformity or some sort of rare cancer disease that causes the skin to go green and the teeth becoming more beast like?.

"gurghugh..."

I can't put my thoughts together....., my mind....., it is going blank.

Hp > 100-99-98-97-96-95-9

SP > 100-99-98-97-96-95-94-5.

"gurghugh...."

I really need to find something to eat else I might die of hunger. I refuse to die a second time without knowing what is going on. Food..., where can I get one?...., I am ready to eat anything....

"!!!!"

yes...., anything..., as long as I can survive, I will eat anything. Think nothing of it, this is for the sake of my survival.

It is said that in desperate moments, humans are ready to resort to any solution, good or bad to get out of their despair and I am no different.

Starting from the hand, I dip my teeth into the skin of the monster and managed to tear out a spoonful of flesh. it is softer than I had expected and surprisingly tasty to eat.

HP > 9-10-11

SP > 5-6

hmm....., The more I eat, the more the wordings in the blue panel seems to change. Come to think of it, that time I was starving, the HP and SP started decreasing rapidly.

Is it perhaps reacting to my condition?, that is the only explanation I can think of. When I am hungry the number goes down and when I am eating, the number goes up again.

It is almost like an health notification app. I wonder what will happen if the number reaches zero, If it does, will I die?. I am curious but I am not ready to risk my life to find out.

This meat?, I thought I would hate it because I am eating it raw but I don't. tender, soft, easy to chew and delicious.

what is all this?, Messages from nowhere just kept on appearing on the panel board.

This really feels like a game right now with all the level up notification,

I can also feel some slight changes in my body,

It feels less heavy and more sturdy, I feel like I have upgraded from being an hundred year old tortoise to an eighty year old tortoise. As I thought, it seems I am indeed in a game.

Is this like one of those cases where one is kidnapped and used as guinea pigs by scientists to test their new crazy invention?, why go through those trouble when they could have just met with me and offered to clear off my debts, in return I will gladly be their Guinea pig.

I do wonder what kind of game company is able to project this much reality into a game. The hunger experience, the taste of the meat and even the smell in the atmosphere all feels too real to be a game.

Last I checked, I don't think technology has advanced up to this stage in the virtual projection.

What if?... Just what if?.... This isn't a game and it is in fact reality?.

"...."

Hahahah...., who am I kidding..., is my head so messed up that I can no longer differentiate between a game and reality....,

A reality where I am eating raw green monster flesh and I still find it tasty, A reality where I am a green infant..., Such a thing can never be a reality.
