《Daily life of reincarnated goblin [Dropped]》Chapter 24 Taking refuge
Advertisement
I followed the crowd of morally lacking beasts who tried to seek refuge, oh wait, I am one of them, it's rather depressing to know, looking around, seeing nothing but monsters that everyone (Probably) hates and being part of them is depressing, but what can I do? I bet my words aren't worth a fart to the sovereign, comperhending such being is rather hard, maybe impossible, all I know is, that I am some kind of entertainment for him, as for details I don't and rather to not know
After doing the rather depressing deed my mind could not calm down, I killed a human, while my monster nature did not feel anything but bloodlust and faint excitement, they were supressed while my human nature told me that it was wrong, I did something inhumane, being no longer one does not justify it at all
But I feel that letting her go on her vengeful path would not be right either, I hope she will rest in peace, come to think of it, I don't know many things about afterlife, after all I just reincarnated, does everyone get that chance? I have no idea, but next time sovereign shows himself I will tell him to take care of her soul, she was pitiful, yet all I could do was kill her, barbarically
Depressing, ever so depressing
And I kept on going until the forest ended and huge cliff appeared, there was a hole in the cliff, rather big one I would say, about 3 meters in both diameter and height, that might not count as big but for a 1 metter tall creature it kind of is... I can not calculate the number of goblins that have come this far, probably hundreds, probably thousand or a bit more, I don't know
Yet everyone obeyed, power is the great thing, chief's guardsmen had such an authority to control the crowd, they were the first to enter the cave and we followed suit
I heard some sounds coming from the inside, but I ignored it
Once my turn has come, I halted my steps because it was too dark, I tried to adapt my eyes but I was pushed and I rolled down, you bastard, ouch, oww
I did not expect that there was a way down and it was rather steep one, after slipping and rolling I realized that I was not the only one that met this fate, bunch of goblins were cuddled together and more joined us, now I feel stupid... but more than that it is suffocating, I tried pushing them away, but we were densely clutched together

Ah fuck, I can't breath
I waited and waited, I was getting anxious, apparently the ones that safely entered the cave first helped us and once my turn came I was about to faint, the bundle of goblins did not dimenish but my turn came and I was helped by bunch of goblins
I wanted to thank them, but since nobody did, I kept quiet
- Idiots, I warned to watch your steps, didn't I?
Roared the guardsman
Well sorry, I could not hear your voice from that far, well I did but... my mind is not used to gugagugeg... talking, it did not properly register in my head, I am still unaware how I understand them in the first place
Once everyone was helped and bundle of goblins disappeared, revealing couple of corpses that suffocated here, yet nobody cared, no grave for them, their heads were mercilessly crushed and their mana stones were taken by guardsman, as for corpses... they were eaten... so cruel
I shuddered at sight and had the urge to throw up... and I really did, others looked at me weirdly, but I was gasping for breath and did not care at all
- Maybe I ate something bad
I said, to justify myself
- Fool, our stomachs are sturdy, we can't get ill and any food is fine for us unless...
Ah, right
- Poison, probably I ate some poisonous mushrooms
I said, others nodded and their attention no longer rested on me, these bastards... they don't give a shit whether their comrade dies or not, well, I am already getting used to their nature, fuck, my stomach is now empty, it's true I can eat anything but what can we probably find in the cave? Not to mention that entrance will be hard to climb unless they modify it into stairs or something, it's too sloppy and it's dark in here, well, some light is still coming from the entrance but I bet inside will be absolute darkness, can we adapt or something?
Guardsman spoke, grabbing everyone's attention, including mine
- Chief has ordered us to take a refuge in here, we are not to leave this place often as predators will be awaiting for us, first few days are safe, we will modify the entrance and then everyone will be tasked to collect as much food as possible, we might have to spend a lot of time here

Guardsman took his huge chunk of metal that could barely be called a sword and others gave him the way, he approached the entrance and swung his sword, leaving some marks on it, he started modifying the entrance like I thought he would, after all, I doubt anyone can climb this sloppy stone, which leads upwards to the entrance
Looking at his vigorous swings, by no means were they weak and unable to leave a huge mark in rock, but the thing is, this rock seemed rather sturdy, probably it was not a rock, appraisal did not work on the whole structure
It was dark, we did not have anything to do, nor were we tasked to, goblins watched the guardsman slowly ''sculpt'' stairs out of sloppy rock
Meanwhile I was trying to adjust my vision to darkness as I thought it would prove useful, it was a need, the cave structure was vague but after my eyes got somewhat used to it, I realized that this place was rather huge, cavern did not have any kind of natural rooms curved out, it was just like a massive hall, surrounded by cave walls from all sides
I tried taking a step and went further than others when system notification popped up, I was startled and even afraid for a second, it rarely happens, I mean it's the first time system notification popped out of nowhere out of its own violation, the contents have also left me dumbstruck
Tribe has entered an F rank dungeon
Dungeon gives your tribe 3 options
1. Becoming the dungeon monsters, gaining access to dungeon miasma ( Revival ), dungeon points, dungeon shop and bonus power for being a dungeon monster, access to advancement to named monster, access to advancement to boss class monster ( Warning: After registring as dungeon monsters your tribe can not leave unless dungeon is conquered or... contents are not specified )
2 Register as intruders and conquer the dungeon, dungeon creatures will turn hostile towards you
3. Leave, does not have any impact on your tribe whatsoever
Choose option 1/2/3
What the hell is this? Dungeon? Even this kind of thing exists? ... Hell yeah, but wait, wait, wait, if I agree, then I will be bound by this dungeon, which sucks, I really wanted to experience the freedom, so now, all these bonuses are tempting, but no, I'd rather just leave
I chose the third option
You have chosen the 3rd option
Processing...
Access denied
due to being weak you can not represent your whole tribe, access is transferred to unofficially named monster: Gruntar
What the actual shit? Where is my saying in this matter? I better fuck off here until that idiot chooses in our stead, stupid power, if I was stronger I could choose on my own, ah I should run, I don't want to be stuck in this hellhole
As Gruntar saw my intention he did not even hesitate and swung his massive sword as I was running to his direction, trying to flee, but alas, he was standing at the entrance
Shit!
Due to the sword being too big and predictable I managed to avoid the attack by merely ducking, I slid down and passed by him, as I was going to step on his self made ''stairs'' my leg was grabbed and with a great force I was thrown back to the darkness
NO!
I crashed to fellow goblins, thanks, they cushioned my fall
NOW IS NOT THE TIME!
I need to run, until he agrees to notification, it will be too late then
- Defy and death will be your end
Gruntar roared in annoyed voice
- The decision is for the chief to make
He added and continued his work, another dull sound of metal hitting rock, ah fuck, I am not getting out of this unscathed, how am I supposed to avoid becoming a stupid dungeon monster?!
