2 Things just went from 0 to 100

When he woke up, the man that was sitting in front of the computer screen found himself laying on the ground. He felt the numb feelings on all of his limbs and great pain at his head and neck. Despite all of that, the first thing he noticed was the dry feelings on his throat, 'I must get up and find some water'

He got himself up and saw a shallow and small ditch right in front of his eyes; the man tripped multiple times, but never once he fell to the ground. When he was right in front of the ditch, he connected his hands and drank the water.

Then he closed his eyes and washed his face with the water from the ditch before noticing something was different from him based on the reflection of the water. He noticed that he was covered in a simple robe, what caught his attention the most were his skin that is now green and his face that are human-like accompanied with long pointy ears, but something was clearly different.

He looked around and noticed almost immediately, that he was in the middle of the forest. He panicked, not knowing what to do at that situation, he just stood there silently.

Rustle!

When he heard the rustling sound at the bush opposite direction of the ditch, he turned around and furrowed his eyebrows while his whole body was trembling, 'Where am I?? What is this place? And who's on the bush'

A great series of nets came out of the bush and covered him entirely, the next thing I saw was armoured men coming out of the bush, 3 in totals. One of them, holding a strange gun-like device said to the other, "Ahahah! This goblin didn't even run and just stared right at us! This is the type of goblin that will be pets!"

'Pets? Goblins? My reflection on the water isn't a goblin, it was much cuter than a normal goblin!' He said to himself while struggling on the net.

One of the other man, with a bag hanging on his neck and glasses on his eyes, approached him while taking something from his bag. What he took out was a needle, similar to the kind used in giving vaccines.

"Calm down a goblin, this won't hurt, it would be much better for you to be pets and slaves rather than being hunted by monsters in the forests anyway" The armoured man placed his hand on the tummy of the still struggling cute goblin (the man that sat in front of the computer).

'What the, how can I not move?!' He felt his strength fading away right after the armoured man placed his hand on his tummy. A needle was inserted to his wrist and right after that, he felt sleepy and eventually fell asleep.

The man slowly opened his eyes and was greeted by another cute looking goblin that was sitting in front of him, "Hey you, you're finally awake. You were trying to cross the border, right? Walked right into the imperial ambush"

(Skyrim reference lol)

He was still confused, but he played along and just nodded, "Yea…"

He then looked around and noticed that he was sitting on a wooden cart and with shackles on his hands. The total of 6 goblins was silent for the rest of the journey, their expression was grim, the man could feel the same thing too.

There was a silent moment between him and the one goblin in front of him, this gave him a time to think, 'What is my purpose here? Who is that one person that knocked me on the head in my own bedroom?'

He sighed before deciding that there was no use of him contemplating. What mattered the most is an answer which he does not have currently, 'I don't know where to get an answer, but I hope something will present itself on me'

One moment he was sitting on the cart, the next, he found himself entering a grand city full of humans, 'Can I still communicate with them in my old language? I can understand what they said but never tried to talk… should I try? Now's not the right time…'

The people's attention was attracted to the cart and soon, the cart was surrounded with the people. When he was still looking around, he heard the familiar voice, "Hey you, later, it will be crowded, just enter the shop as fast as possible. If not, the people might just kidnap you"

It was from the driver of the cart itself.

When the cart stopped right in front of an exquisite looking building, the goblins jumped out of the cart and complied to the driver's order earlier. They made their way inside the building while being escorted by some armoured men.

It was then that the man noticed and accepted that the goblins are much more different from what he thought will be, 'So the goblins in this world are cute-looking creatures, with the height of about 80 cm and Yoda-like face'

Well, he soon reached a small room with a big but shallow wooden bath. The 6 of them were bathed and cleaned there. Then given some appropriate clothing, 'Jeez, are we the pets/slaves or are we the nobles? What kind of treatment is this?'

Then, the 6 goblins were led inside a hallway by one human. The more the goblins walked, the more the goblins noticed. They were led into a room full of people, excited people.

Eventually, when they reached the room, the man noticed what was happening, 'I think those three armoured people are correct. This must be a place for selling goblins like us…'

He soon found himself on the stage, people right in front of him, excited, and cheering, 'The moment I saw this, I knew my fate was sealed. But I still hope that someone kind will choose me… and someone will tell me what am I supposed to do in this world'
