Gekmon

Rei stared at the options in front of him.

There was no specific job for him as a goblin. Also, everything else was locked and was set for only a few races. The only thing available for him was something that was common to all – the Path of the conqueror.

Not all chose this, as it didn't show any significant promise, but Rei couldn't possibly compromise with it.

"Conqueror."

*Ding*

[You have chosen the Profession Conqueror.]

"…"

-"It's as if the world wants you to be the conqueror,"- Lucas murmured.

Rei was concentrating on the screen so he couldn't hear Lucas.

*Ding*

[An avatar has been created for you.]

[Please click 'ok' to continue, or click 'Re-create' to re-create your avatar.]

[Ok/ Re-Create.]

Rei didn't think twice before clicking on 'OK'.

-"You!"- Lucas couldn't even say a single word.

Rei hadn't even looked at himself and thus hadn't realized that he was looking different since the avatar was chosen.

Yes, his limbs, his skin and even his eye colour changed slightly as a lot of pixels combined, giving him an entirely different look.

His height had also increased a bit.

And just as it happened, he finally logged in to the game. He was back in the same forest where he had met those humans earlier.

Lucas scolded Rei thoroughly.

"Ugh, I don't think I have changed too much…", Rei paused just as he said that.

He looked at his face in the pond that was just a few feet away from the place where he had spawned.

He found an entirely different goblin standing there.

A pair of golden-yellow eyes with little muscle on the arms followed by a great shape of back – everything was different.

"This… is me?"

-"Yes."- Lucas said.

After seeing his changed body, Rei had nothing but just one thing to say, "Looks like I really am a chosen one…"

-"Congratulations! You have been infected by the protag flue, officially becoming the protagonist of this world."- Lucas sarcastically said.

Rei laughed a bit but then realized that he was forgetting something. He recalled how he had died yet again, in just a second and soon, without even informing Lucas, merely said the word – Logout.

"Logout."

The dead bodies of the orcs were lying on the ground. A war was happening.

Orcs were fighting with each other.

As soon as the goblins exploded, out of nowhere multiple orcs invaded and started to kill the Orcs that were injured.

Even after twelve hours, the battle kept going.

In the cave where the food supplies were kept….

Many pixels integrated and started to form a body. A very small body. When the blue light disappeared, the body was finally visible.

The body was a bit muscular and the height of the body was equal to a twelve-year-old human kid's height. The body had golden yellowish eyes.

'Am I back…?', he asked himself.

He didn't get any reply from Lucas but did find the blue-coloured flaming orb floating.

Before he could gather his thoughts and process the scenario, the same blue screen of the system appeared.

Rei continued to analyze the stats that were shown.

Meanwhile…

Gekmon, one of the strongest orcs in the western part of the jungle Raya, was picked up as a guard to protect the chief Baramun.

He was arrogant among all the eleven guards that would guard the hut in which Baramun would live.

He, at that time, had spotted a goblin who was trying to sneak into the hut. He crushed the head of the goblin while saying, "Be honoured that you are getting killed by me."

While thinking that he had done a great deed, he became careless.

In the end, he was blown away in the explosion and injured along with many other orcs.

But even after that, he was able to kill twenty-five orcs that had suddenly invaded. Truly he was, if not the strongest, then one of the strongest orcs in this whole jungle. But right now, he was at his limit.

Both his legs and right arm were completely crushed and he was using his left arm to drag his body. He didn't even have the strength to kill a mere goblin.

"H-help" for the first time in his life, he asked for help.

At that time, he suddenly felt immense blood lust. He looked around from the corner of his eyes and spotted a goblin that had an arrow in his hand.

"Please die for me.", these words shook him the moment they entered his ears.

***

"Ha…"

"At least I am alive…", Rei said.

Rei was happy, now that he was back, he could finally feel at ease.

At that time, he believed that nothing could make him angry but he was proven wrong.

From the corner of his eyes, he spotted the orc that had killed Gaburu.

He grabbed an arrow that was lying on the ground and started walking towards the orc who seemed to be in a very bad condition.

"Let's see. What should I do with you? Should I thank you that you killed an enemy or should I hate you because the enemy of mine that you killed was my best friend?", Rei murmured as he spots Gekmon.

"H-help me.", Gekmon on the other hand couldn't prevent himself from saying this.

"Ha… Hahaha! Hahaha! Help you!? You?", Rei inhaled deep breaths trying to calm himself down.

"Please die for me." At that moment, a hint of red appeared in his eyes as he looked at the Orc.

Rei's eyes were emotionless, completely cold and with the hint of red shine, it was as if one was looking at his own death!

His grip over the arrow strengthened.

*STAB*

"ARGHH!", The orc screamed in agony as one of his eyes was just pierced.

The arrowhead was inside Gekmon's eyes, which Rei then twisted to ensure that he suffers from immense pain.

"ARGHHH!"

"…"
