ruler.

In every race, there are individuals called ‘mutants’.

Mutation. An individual that inherits new traits that were not present in the parent’s lineage. There are cases where animals have an extra arm or have more body parts from birth than other species of the same species.

Or, there may be a problem with intellectual ability. Whether it is better or worse. Usually it falls.

Mutations exist in all species. Humans, elves, dragons, demons, dwarves, etc. Of course, mutations exist in ‘monsters’ as well. Because monsters are also true life. It is more vicious and ferocious than other species.

And, right here.

There is a mutant race of people who are called the most ‘inferior’ beings across the continent and the Demon World.

Jjiik-.

“Chwirik, what are you doing?”

“Churirik, Zurik.”

Dwarves surround a torn wild boar and eat it with unclean hands. Their skin is a darker green than their natural light green color, and their necks are tilted forward quite a bit.

Goblin. Although their natural leg strength and physical movements are not bad, they are classified as the lowest race among all monsters due to their severely low intelligence and a mind filled with desire.

They usually live in groups and are good at avoiding the shadows and poisons of mountains. He harbors deep greed and a sexual desire for females in his heart.

A goblin’s individual strength is extremely weak. In terms of human height, he is as tall as a 13-year-old, and his belly fat is bulging because he has no concept of training. If they had not had the nature of living in groups, the goblin race would most likely have been on the path to extinction.

Of course, the goblin race did not recognize their own inferiority and shortcomings. The lack of awareness hindered development.

“Chwirik.”

“Cwirik?”

“Fools, idiots, idiots. Zurik.”

“Chwirik!? Did you just swear!?”

“It’s a compliment.”

“… compliment? Chwirik! I feel good! Wild boar is delicious!”

‘It’s a waste to call you idiots. ‘You guys.’

There is one goblin that is slightly taller than the other goblins.

The neck is centered like a human, and the stomach has clear abdominal muscles. Green skin is showing off rugged muscles.

While all goblins are feasting on wild boars they have hunted, this goblin is the only one devoted to training its body. Lie down on the ground, place both palms on the ground, and bend and straighten your arms, or lie down on your back and raise your upper body.

The goblins are suspicious of the mutant’s actions, but do not try to stop him. The more mutant goblins starve, the bigger their share becomes. They just treat me like a weirdo.

‘You idiots. I saw humans roasting meat over fire in the forests of the continent, so why do they eat it raw? It’s much tougher and tasteless.’

Sweating profusely, the mutant glanced pitifully at his compatriot.

Goblins’ teeth are sharper than those of humans, but not as sharp as those of most beasts of prey. There are even goblins who scream that their teeth are chattering while trying to tear off the skin of a dead boar with their teeth.

However, neither goblin. Even the goblin called ‘Chief’.

I had no intention of improving it. Except for one thing: mutant goblins.

‘If you spend every day trying to make a living like that, if a monster like an ogre appears, you’ll all die! Why aren’t you thinking about increasing your strength!’

Goblins were inferior and crude. The mutant was very dissatisfied with that fact.

Why don’t they practice?

Although I clearly have the will to live, why am I so focused on satisfying my desires?

No, rather, why do we tie our lives to desires? What is so important?

In the past, mutant goblins experienced the slaughter of their own people.

When living in the forests of the continent. There was a time when humans called the ‘punitive team’ passed near a group of goblins.

Although he was a young mutant goblin at the time, I knew it as soon as I saw him. Humans sitting on large horses and wearing iron armor, they are not at the level they usually hunt. The intuition that I had to avoid it immediately rose to the top of my head.

However, other goblins seemed to think differently. When they saw the beauty of the female knight at the head of the knights, they rushed at her without hesitation.

The results were disastrous. Every time the female knight’s sword, which seemed to be just an object to quench her lust, flashed, blood rained down. The goblin’s struggle was so small, feeble, and helpless. The humans’ horses’ hooves trampled the goblin’s head. Chunks of intestines spilled out and soaked the ground.

Running away with all his might from that cruel scene, the mutant goblin could not hide his doubts.

‘Why don’t they know how to run away until they die?’

‘Why are they stupid, crude and inferior?’

‘The strength of ordinary humans is not much different from that of goblins. But why are those humans so strong?’

‘Is that simply a difference in intelligence?’

‘or not… The one who created us… .’

Truly.

Quiet footsteps were heard. The mutant goblin’s thoughts, which had been biting their tail one after another, stopped.

Sniff, sniff. It wasn’t just mutant goblins. The goblins’ heads turned all at once when they smelled the scent of an outsider carried on the wind. In their shifted field of vision, a group of human beings were standing in silence.

“Chwirik!? human! It’s human!”

“Chrrreuk! Churik!”

“Why are humans here… I’m sorry. Holding a weapon.”

The goblins were quite embarrassed, but quickly took up a fighting stance. As a race created to fit into the wild from birth, the goblins glared at the group of humans while holding their respective hatchets.

“Go, it’s a goblin! What do we do? Claire?”

“… What should I do? I have to fight. Goblins are also magical beasts.”

“Claire, be careful. No matter how goblin it is… I don’t know what the goblins of the Demon Forest are like.”

“Heung! I don’t see anything like Hobgoblin!”

“Mr. Daejeon, please don’t get hurt. You get hurt in every battle and can’t relax!”

“Then what about it! Every time my body is torn, the priest heals it!”

“… My divine power is not infinite.”

The total number of humans was five. The boy with flowing blond hair standing in the lead stood out in particular.

“Stream, it’s not that unusual.”

“Chrrreuk? You too, grab the ax quickly!”

“You have to be careful. Especially the boy with that sword. The posture is firm.”

“Crunchy! What nonsense are you talking about!”

Unlike the goblins who growled and burned their fighting spirit, the mutant goblin swallowed his saliva carefully. Even though they were facing dozens of goblins, the humans were so carefree.

It was as if they were belittling themselves. The scary thing was that the human group had such a spirit that it was not strange to look down on them like that.

“Chrrreuk! Attack!”

A goblin ran and shouted. It was a shout announcing the start of battle.

Dozens of goblins gathered together in a group and started running toward the humans. Although the mutant goblin was a little late, he quickly grabbed his hatchet and joined the rear ranks.

In the end, the goblin race is a race that only becomes stronger when they live in groups. No matter how much one trains oneself, there is a clear limit to the power of an individual goblin. The mutant, who knew this very well, raised a stone ax and tried to attack the human group.

Until the blonde-haired boy stretched out his sword…

Suddenly-.

The noise of flesh being cut resounds.

What followed was a merciless, fishy scent of blood.

Suddenly, goosebumps appeared on the back of the mutant goblin.

When I came to my senses, dozens of my compatriots had already been wiped out in one blow.

“Chwi, Chwirik… !”

Ugh-.

“You guys don’t come forward.”

“Claire?”

“This much is enough for me alone.”

When the compatriots attacked the so-called ‘punitive force’ of humans. The mutant goblin had seen a surreal sight for the first time in his life.

A truly overwhelming sight, with a halo of light shining from the blade of the female knight’s sword held high.

Right now, the miracle of that time was being repeated with the sword of the hero Claire.

“Churirik! What, what!”

“Chrrr’s either!

“You evil monsters! Farewell before the sword that shines the light!”

The warrior’s sword fell like a thunderbolt. A slash soaring all the way to the sky strikes the gathered group of goblins. The extended sword trace cut the goblins’ blood and flesh in half without mercy. Once again, dozens of goblins died without even screaming.

“Drunk, drunk… .”

The mutant’s hands trembled. A distant force that cannot be resisted annihilates the mutants around them.

“Chrrr!”

“Kyaaaagh!”

“Where are you running away? There is no place in this world for an ugly race like you!”

Kwasik-!

Phew!

It wasn’t just mutations. The rain of swords from the human boys was like a natural disaster to the goblins, and the goblin race, known only for fighting, gradually lost their will to fight.

“Stop it… !”

Quad deuk-!

Mutant goblins felt sorry for other goblins, but that didn’t mean they didn’t care for them. We ate together, slept together, and the affection we shared together was never small.

Those goblins are being brutally torn apart. A moan escaped from the mutant’s green mouth.

Suddenly!

“Everyone die! You evil goblin bastards!”

“Chrrreuk! Hey, that person is strange!”

“Keee!”

The screams of their compatriots were everywhere. The mutant goblin tried to find hope, but there was no hope anywhere.

“Fiamma! Block the escape route!”

Grumble-!

As the girl holding the cane shouted angrily, flames erupted from the ground. It was ridiculous. How can fire suddenly come out of nowhere?

But that was the reality. Scorching heat and blazing fire surrounded the goblins. The goblins, whose escape route was blocked, were at a loss, not knowing what to do.

The place where the clan had been eating and chatting just a moment ago suddenly became a sea of fire.

Meanwhile, the hero’s sword was moving ceaselessly. It cuts off the lives of as few as a few or as many as dozens of people.

Abigyu-hwan, a mountain of confusion, and a bloody battle. All the goblins had already put down their stone axes and were only busy running away to avoid the hero. The mutant goblin was the only one trembling with a stone ax in his hand, but he too had lost his will to fight.

Sigh-!

Bright red blood pours in. The blood of the compatriots they had been eating and hunting with until just now stained the face of the mutant goblin.

At that moment, something snapped in the mutant goblin’s brain.

“Profit made!!”

If you stay like this, you will die. Like hundreds of his compatriots who have already died, he will die in vain.

Crack, clap, clap!

The goblin ran while shouting, raising its stone ax above its head. The target is a blond boy holding a sword. Before the boy retrieves the sword, we must somehow bury the stone ax into his skull. That’s the only way to survive.

However, contrary to expectations, the difference in power was extreme.

Wow!

“Keeek!”

“This guy! How dare you!”

The blond boy’s foot kicked the mutant in the stomach. Even though I trained so hard and performed sit-ups every day without fail, my whole body trembled from the intense shock.

The mutant collapsed helplessly in suffocating pain.

Sigh-!

The warrior’s feet trample on the mutant’s chest. The pressure of a rock poured down on the mutant.

Sereung-.

“Die, goblin.”

“Profit earned… !”

A sharp blade appeared before the goblin’s eyes. death. Those short two syllable words sat heavily on me.

Die.

If that sword falls, you die.

The goblin, whose chest was trampled and unable to move, shouted at the top of his voice.

“Why!!”

“Hmm?”

“Why are you doing this to us! Churik!”

“What are you talking about?”

“We never attacked you! Why are you suddenly attacking us?! ”

If that sword falls, you will die anyway.

The goblins had nothing to hesitate and nowhere to retreat.

“You’re not going to hunt us and eat us! You humans don’t eat the same things we do! It’s not something I should commit!!”

“This guy, his language skills… ?”

“Why! Damn it! Why are you hunting us!! Without any reason!!”

The human gaze gathered together. It’s like looking at a strange monkey in a zoo cage.

“Ugh, huh! ”

Raindrops began to fall from the mutant goblin’s eyes. Bitterness is rain falling in the form of emotions.

The warrior Claire, who was looking down at the scene from above, answered the goblin’s desperate cry with a cold voice.

“Is there a reason why humans kill goblins?”

“… !”

“You are not beasts. It’s a monster. A monster that humans must kill. It is moral to destroy someone on sight, and virtue is not to leave a single one alive.”

“Drunk, drunk… !”

Pukpukpuk-.

The goblin’s fist hit the ground.

“Cylinder, do… !”

“… What an amazing guy.”

“Why on earth did they make us like this…? !”

I’m not mean because I want to be mean.

You are not inferior because you want to be inferior.

It’s just that I was born like this.

Perhaps, if he wasn’t a mutant, he wouldn’t have even felt this bitterness like so many other members of his race.

“Squeak, squeak!”

“Take profit! Chwiik!”

He must have been stuck in a wall of fire, sweating profusely and worrying with those idiots.

“Who will you blame? The Lord created you that way.”

“… ! given! Thank you!!”

“Do not put the Lord in your filthy mouth.”

“What did we do so wrong!! While living in this forest, I haven’t encountered a single human!!”

“This guy.”

Despite the hero’s warning, the mutant’s resentment would never end.

Because I’m going to die soon anyway.

I was planning to let out any resentment I had in my heart.

“It’s been like this since I was born! Jusuni! That damn god!! Because that’s how we were created!! Because reason cannot help but be distracted by greed!!”

“It was a creature that shouldn’t have been alive in the first place!? Then I should have just made it! We can think too! I have friends and family! You are not the kind of scum that kills humans just because they are on sight, ignoring even the laws of the wild and making them targets of slaughter!!”

“Smile when you feel good! There are times when we all dance together! If you succeed in a big hunt, have a party! I get angry when my compatriot dies! I feel sad when the people I have lived with die of old age!”

“If it was made like that… ! At least they should have given me the right to live! Those people were given strength if they trained and the ability to gain knowledge if they studied!! Why do we have nothing!! Even if you live for a long time, there is no progress! No matter how much I train, I don’t get any strength other than gaining some muscle!!”

“What the hell! why! why! We are like this!! Since you were born, you were determined to be the ‘lowest level monster’, and no matter how hard you tried throughout your life, you could not escape that inferiority… ! Born into a race without even hope… !”

“It’s so, so cruel… !!”

The flowing tears gradually seep into the ground. The warrior Claire looks down at the goblin.

“Is the lament over my life over?”

“Ugh, ugh, ugh… !”

“A very unique goblin. He speaks very fluently… I would have been really happy if Magic Tower found it.”

Slurp-!

Calmly coaxing, the hero slashed the sword hovering over the mutant goblin’s head.

The goblin closed his eyes tightly. A burst of tears leaked out between my eyelids.

Sigh-.

However, the sword did not hit the goblin’s forehead.

By a white glove that blocked the sword path just before it split the fabric.

“I can’t believe such a genius was just buried in his previous life. By the way, this guy called fate has no mercy? No matter how harsh fate is.”

“… ! Who are you?”

“Earnings… ?”

“Hey! Smart goblin!”

The white mask that appeared in the blink of an eye, grabbed the hero’s blade and occupied the goblin’s field of vision, shouted.

“You have the qualities to become a ‘god’!”
