Chapter 5: Family & Prophecy

An hour has passed since Liza laughed the towering monster unconscious. While the monster was asleep, Liza went off and searched through to her understanding was an cave and an enormous one by that fact. Even so, Liza fun while wondering around and gain some more skills while also encountering few other monsters.

For example: An giant spider, an giant snake, an giant lizard that was basically a dinosaur and carnivorous man eating deer.

No one would've blame for Liza if she were afraid. However, Liza was completely calm with each and every encounter, it was most probably because Liza had the Fear Resistance skill. Causing her to stand against the monsters with a cool expression on her face.

"FEAR RESISTANCE LV 6"

After Liza was done she went her way, trying to find her way back. It should've been difficult since the cave was basically a labyrinth. However, cause the consent encounters of the monsters, Liza was able to return back safely by simply following the monster's corpses that Liza left behind.

Soon she finally found herself back to the monster still laying down. Everything unchanged, as Liza lazily sat down behind the monster while playing with it's hair. She kept playing until a Pop Up appeared again.

"GAIN SKILL HAIR DRESSING LV 1"

Liza raise a brow as she simply ignore the Pop Up.

'Really? Hair Dressing? This world really is similar to a video game, is still hard to believe that I died. I think? In honesty, I already expected to die early. But even so, never in no in million years I would've thought of being 'reincarnated' if you could even call it that.'

As soon that thought cross her mind the monster woke with now decent stylish hair. The monster quickly straightened itself as it sat up. The monster then realized it was covered by a makeshift blanket made out of a monster deer fur and woven together by thread from a giant spider. It was neatly done as well, guess Liza should not be that surprised from someone a level three Sewing skill.

The monster turn itself around towards Liza, eyes confused and cautious. Liza only stared at the monster blankly as she stood herself up to her feet. The monster's body stiffened by Liza sudden action.

The monster was very confused, it thought it would be dead since it was asleep for assuming a long time. But it wasn't, instead the monster is alive and well and even cared for while in it's was asleep. The monster couldn't understand this strange behavior, it was entirely new and odd to the monster.

The only reason why it took Liza because she was the child of the elf woman he breed with. The monster just wanted to test it's child strength and other fighting capabilities. The monster didn't expect any of this, but for some reason the monster found it's new child quite amusing.

The monster soon started to say something, however while monster was talking. Liza couldn't understand one single thing, until slowly she started to notice the monster's growls and grunts turned into actual words. A Pop Up appeared afterwards.

"LEARN SKILL PRONUNCIATION LV 1"

'Learn skill? What does that mean?'

"GAIN LANGUAGE GOBLIN"

'Gain language? What does that mean? Dose that mean this monster is a goblin? But he's huge and he doesn't have green skin. Is he just a different type of goblin?'

"Oi! Are you even listening?!" Spoke the large goblin in frustration.

Liza didn't trust what she going to say so she simply shook her head. The goblin sighed heavily while he hanged his head. The goblin lifted his head and gave Liza an gentle gaze before he spoke once again.

"Son, I just wanted to say that you are surprisingly unique. I mean that as a good thing," the goblin simply put, before offering Liza to sit down with him.

Liza only froze for a moment before she decided to sit down with her so proclaimed father. She felt a chill up her spine at the mere thought of this goblin sitting beside is truly her biological father. The truth is, to Liza disbelief is the goblin next to her is indeed her father.

Liza was a goblin and that woman before was indeed her mother. Once again, Liza was in an unbearable situation. One part of her wanted killed the damn goblin right then and there, while another part of her just wanted to leave as quickly as possible. But the problem was, Liza didn't truly wanted to do ethier of those things.

She wanted to kill him, but now knowing 'he' was her father made her empathetic for him. And as much Liza wanted to leave, she couldn't allow this bastard go unpunished. So Liza focus herself to try to 'get along' with her father.

"Son. Son? Oi! Are you not listening to me again?!" Liza snapped her attention back the goblin sitting beside her.

The goblin growled before wacked Liza behind her head. "You may be my son, but that doesn't change the fact that I hate repeating myself,"

Liza rubbed gently against the now huge lump on the back of her head as she groan in pain. Liza turns her gaze back towards her father, silently scowling ar him.

'Damn bastard! Now I'm reconsidering not killing you before,' Liza glare with murderous intent.

"Huh? What's with that look? If you got something to say, then say it! If you're smart enough to understand what I am saying, then you should be able to speak!" Liza father growled while giving back his own scowl.

'I'm not talking because I don't want to talk to you, dumbass!' Liza huffed in frustration before she turned her head in a different direction.

"Oh! Is it like THAT is it?!" Liza didn't respond to her father nagged at Liza.

A hour after, both Liza and her father felled asleep from exhaustion. When Liza woke up, she found herself laid upon the ground while been covered by the handcrafted blanket she made. Liza turned her gaze as she witnessed her father asleep upright against the wall, with a weapon in hand.

'Has he been protecting me the entire time? Guess he's not that bad of an dad,' Liza thought as she tries to memory of her father in her pervious life.

Back in Liza was still human, Liza's father wasn't someone who you can call 'loyal'. And when Liza's mother died after she was born, Liza couldn't really think much about her. Even though Liza didn't know much of her parents, she still cared for by her older sister. Because her father wasn't around because of certain reasons, Liza's older sister had to take the parent role. Whenever Liza's father return home, the tension between him and Liza's older sister was always heavy and unbearable.

The sense around Liza's goblin father was different, it was strange yet comfortable. Deep inside Liza's soul, for once she genuinely felt like she was treasured. Despite Liza being hit and wacked, those gave Liza a light and fluffy sensation inside her heart.

'Maybe being a goblin isn't that bad,' Liza thought as she carefully placed the blanket around both herself and her father.

Soon before Liza could fall back asleep, another Pop up appeared before her written:

"GAIN TITLE TREASURED FAMILY"

'I wonder what happens now? Will I kill him or not? I'll think about it later...' Liza then eventually felled into deep slumber.

~IN ANOTHER PLACE OF THE CAVE~

"That's It! I had it! I don't want to do this anymore!!!" Yelled a small woman with brown hair.

"That what you said an hour ago, yet you still here," sighed a tall man that wielded double blades.

The two begun to argue with one another around a small fireplace in the center of the cave. The two were soon interrupted when someone else from their party.

"Cut it out you the both of you! Do you want to attract more monster?!" Growled a man who wore shiny armor.

"Sorry sir..." spoke shyly of the man.

"I'm very sorry sir! I'll try to not do it again!" Squealed the woman.

The knight huffed proudly as he stared down his unless comrade. "Have you idiots forgot the reason why were here?! If so, then let me remind you! We were sent here to kill the goblin with a certain skill!"

"Yeah, we know that much but..." the man quieten himself.

"We don't know where this goblin is hiding, nether or less if even exist," spoken up the woman.

"You fool!!!" Roared the knight.

The man and woman bowed their heads in apologize, the knight then continued. "You two are really are morons. Didn't hear about the prophecy? The goblin with a certain skill isn't any normal goblin! Prophecy says if the goblin would grow stronger and be come a Demon Lord!"

"But that's only a myth right?" Said the man.

"That's right! Besides, how can a mere a goblin grows up to become a Demon Lord," the woman added.

"Are you idiots?!" Roared the knight before continued.

"The High Priest said it himself that the world is in risk of another appearance of another Demon Lord! And mere goblin?! This goblin has a unknown skill that could destroy us all! Do you doubt the words of the High Priest?!"

"No! Of course not!" Spoke out the woman.

"We were just worrying if we will be able to find it, since there is only one goblin of it's kind correct?" Said the man hastily.

The knight huffed. "Correct, so we better hurry and find that goblin. Before those disgust thing reproduce,"

"Right!" Replied both the woman and man as they followed their leader to battle.
