Reincarnation

Hael felt something crawling on his back. He shrugged it off, because he should be dead right?

'Dead? '

Hael opened his eyes and what appeared in front of him is an entire forest. It is probably 9:00 in the morning judging from the sun's position.

'What? '

He stared at his body and saw his clothes were different but it's still bloody. He is currently wearing brown long sleeves and brown cargo shorts. His body feels small. He felt like he shrinked or something. Even his view seems a little bit lower.

Even with these strange occurrences Hael didn't panic for it would do him no good. He scanned his surroundings, while thinking why he is here.

He shrugged it off thinking it would be no use until he is safe.

There is an open space 90 meters ahead of him and a cave opening 100 meters behind him.

Hael thought for a while and decided to go to the open space. His thought process is it's either a clearing made by humans, probably a road or something, or the territory of wild animals. And the cave is hard to trek and you can easily get lost inside it, furthermore what will you even find in a cave?

He walked to the open space, looking ahead and at his feet at the same time. He didn't want to step on something venomous. Hael didn't immediately go to the clearing. He decided to scout the area first looking for something dangerous. He hid on the brush 5 meters away from the space, and searched from there.

After a few minutes of waiting, Hael finally went outside the forest. The ground was paved. It was narrow but long. Hael guessed that it is probably a road.

He went back to the forest and walked along the road cautiously. After half an hour of walking, Hael saw another cave. There were roars originating from it so he decided to leave it be.

Hael went back to walking and just after a few seconds, he noticed some disturbance further down the road.

He sat down on a clear space and analyzed what is happening just ahead.

There is currently what appears to be a cargo carried by a horse. It's back left wheel is currently stuck at rocks on the middle of the road. There is a frail looking man driving it which has, from what it looks like from here, some agriculture products, they were small in amount though. One adult man can carry it all. 'The fuck is this are we centuries behind now or something? '

There are 21 small guys currently surrounding the cargo, they are wearing robes. Their ears are pointy and their skin color is green, they have the eyes of a goat.

'Tf? are these goblins? ' Hael is very fond of fantasy stories, so he knows a lot of fantasy creatures.

The goblins were fighting 6 guys with armor and swords.They are probably guards, mercenaries or adventurers? Either way, they are currently fighting for something important inside the cargo or, just their lives.

Hael focused on a goblin. Suddenly, a translucent panel , those typically found in video games, appeared infront of him.

'Huh. I really am in a fantasy world. ' The appearance of this panel, filled the gaps on his theory.

Hael smiled and felt excited, he really is in a fantasy world.

He moved his focus back to the fight. The goblins battle power are between 600 and 700 while the humans have 900 - 1000.

Hael decided to listen to their voices before finally deciding on what to do.

"Shouldn't we run or something? " A big and strong looking guy was suggesting a retreat.

"I hired you guys to protect me. We have a contract!. Please don't leave me!" A small and frail looking guy is currently driving the cargo pleading for their help.

"Your shitty copper ain't more important than our lives." The largest man among the humans frowned from his threat.

"Captain, We can't hold on for much longer. This is tiring us out! A guy holding a bow reported.

The captain didn't even think twice before deciding.

"When I say Go, run off the road oposite to where the goblins are coming from. We will use him as bait. No one will know about what will know that we left him here. We will make an excuse like, we protected him with our lives but got assassinated. We will only get demoted by a star if that happens."

The driver's face turned grim. "No! Please."

The group ignored his pleading. They focused on the plan.

'Go! ' A voice coming from the forest resounded in their ears.

Hearing the signal, 3 of them ran to the other side according to plan.

"What are you guys doing?! Get the fuck back here! " The captain shouted to his allies. "Who the hell are you!? Show yourself! " He said while fending off the attacks from the goblins.

Due to the panic the guards thought it was their captain who shouted. They only realized it when they got scolded.

Now that they're separated, the goblins smirked at the idea of free food. They were reduced to about 13 of them, but the humans are tired and separated now.

They fought for minutes. The humans were already weak, for they are constantly fighting 2 goblins at the same time. Their face turned grim.

They glared at the place where the voice originated from and cursed who ever shouted.

'My My, I'm a bit shy so don't look at me like that' A young boy with bloodied clothes appeared standing at a branch.

'Yosh... ' The boy drop to the ground with his hands on his pocket.

He casually walked to the the cargo and grabbed a dagger on his way there. He didn't mind the humans and goblins, because all of them were focused on the fight happening between them. He tried to grab the products but failed due to their weight.

The guards didn't manage to look at him, because they are focused on their fight. The driver though looked at him strangely, thinking he was a thief or something.

Hael finally managed to carry it. He sat down at the back of the horse while carrying the products.

' Hey! You might wanna run now. '

The boy advised them and cut all of the things tied to the horse.

A loud roar boomed in the forest. They could hear footsteps coming their way with constant tremors coming with it.

Suddenly, a huge bull appeared from the forest shouting and rioting.

'Bye! ' Hael smiled then slapped the horse thigh to make it run.

'Remember this! ' Their face turned grim and cursed at the young boy at the back of the horse.
