Nibbit showed me around the village, seeing the sights and buildings. Some of which was their little chapel, barracks [with training yard], and an apothecary which, would you guess it, is Nibbit's.

While we were exploring, several Goblin children have ran up to me to give me hugs, some gave me flowers, gifts or all three! It was so cute, they would almost perfectly resemble Human Children if they didn’t have tiny tusks and green skin.. And the other physical differences.

I asked many questions about their little piece of ‘Heaven’ which I like to call it however he thinks of it more like his own Hell or Purgatory. The reasons he gave was mostly about how unintelligent the Goblins are, like speaking in in the universal language ‘Angelicus’, which I’m guessing is English? Or is it actually a whole other language but my brain is- You know what, I’m not going to deep in thought about that.

The other reason why is because they have no ideas how to use tools properly besides weapons, like spears for example. He made every weapon and tool himself and is actually the architect and even the person who built most of the buildings!

I’m pretty impressed that someone like him did all that, and I feel bad that no one is able to help him.. He talks about how the tried to teach them however they just couldn’t learn to grasp the idea of using tools. Which in turn means they can’t build anything to help out the village, unless you want some horrendous excuse for a structure or tool.

The only thing the could teach them was how to use a spear, which he said they did learn how to use pretty quickly. He then started ranting about, that it is probably due to what the god, Jackel, put in place to prevent the monsters to become too strong.

Oh, I should really ask him about why they started calling me king! Why didn’t I ask them earlier!? Anyone else would of [probably] asked as soon as they were called that, dammit! Whatever, I can ask Nibbit right now.

“Nibbit, I would like to ask you a question. It’s about everyone here calling me a King, why is that?" When I say that he turns around putting his finger to his chin and ponders for a few seconds.

“Want the short explanation or the long explanation?” He asks while I shrug and he grunts, rolling his eyes.

“Than it will be the short answer. You're the Demon Lord obviously, why wouldn’t we call you King, Sire?”

I twitch and start yelling at him which he shrinks back. “How do you know I'm the Demon lord!? Is it really obviously? Do I walk or talk funny? Come on tell me!”

I plead to him while he whacks me on the head with his staff. It hurt pretty badly, it oddly felt like when I was knocked out last time..

“You need to calm down! It’s not hard for MONSTERS to know your the Demon lord, I highly doubt any of the other races could find out. You look Human besides your eyes, which may rouse suspicion but that's it. So don’t panic.” He states and smiles wryly.

I sigh relieved that not everyone can tell. Imagine just walking through town and one guy looks at me and points screaming ‘DEMON LORD!’, I would be so screwed! If what he says is true, that only Monsters can tell, then who will believe them that I’m a Demon Lord? Well, unless I have them as my troops while they say it.

“How do Monsters know I’m the Demon Lord than? If they can’t tell by my appearance.” I ask Nibbit who smiles and gestures to his eyes saying.

“You give off an Aura and scent that we can only notice, It’s a racial trait that the Ancient Demon lords had, that showed the Monsters proof of legitimacy.”

He also smiles wryly and looks away, muttering under his breath. “I also used the skill , but that's not important..”

My mouth and eye twitches when I hear that. So he also has a skill that tells him huh? That would mean that other people could have that skill and be able to tell what I am, right? Wait, shouldn’t all players get skills like this to inspect items and creatures at the beginning of the game?

“Nibbit, I want to ask about the skill you used on me” I cross my arms asking him. I think I should add a stern glare to make it seem I’m upset with him. Yeah, by doing that the will probably tell me due to being afraid to feel my wrath!

“Wh-what skill s-sire? I don’t know what y-your talking about.. It is not like I would do s-something like that to someone like you..” He has the ‘Oh shit, I'm caught’ look on him right now.

It’s so funny to catch people with stuff like this and seeing that face! Well it wasn’t funny for them with my face, I bet they thought I was going to rip their arms off and beat them with it.. Still a funny thought in my opinion, sue me.

Okay, should I waste my time pretending I’m mad just for more shits and giggles while he squirms or just get him to explain it..

Well because I want to be Hero, and acting like a dick won’t help that.. Unless I’m an Anti-Hero.. But I’m a Demon Lord So… Neither..

… Hero Demon Lord or Anti-Hero Demon l- Okay this is getting stupid! Let’s just get back to Nibbit and his skill which he doesn’t wish for me to know it’s existence so far!

I start tapping the ground with my foot and sigh. “Come on, just tell me please, I would really appreciate it. It’s not like I will punish you for not telling me..”

Can I actually punish him? With me being their “king” and demon lord.. Meh, never mind. It’s not really important.

He starts shuffling his feet looking at the ground not looking at me. “Yes sire.. It’s a skill to allow someone to see the stats and race of the person that was targeted by it. B-but don’t worry! This is a rare skill and can only be used on those that have a lower level!”

My eye twitches because the stated that he has a higher level than me.. I think It’s childish to be upset about this, but still! A Goblin with a higher level than a Demon Lord!

Well.. Considering I am like a newborn babe in the game.. Nah, still upset no matter how childish it is.

I sigh and pinch the bridge of my nose and ask. “So you are the only one in the village that has this skill, and like you said, if it actually is rare. How many people in the world would probably have it?”

“About a few million.” He fricken answered so quickly!? AND HOW IS THAT RARE?! Right.. This is a whole world in a game, and probably some monsters know of it besides the main races..

I start stroking my chin while nodding thinking this though while Nibbit puts his fist over his mouth and coughs, trying to get my attention.

He starts talking when he see’s he has gotten my attention. “So I think you seen everything that we have to show you in our village sire. We will have to go to the town square to meet my brother to ask you something. Any more questions before we head towards the square? And don’t ask what we are going to ask you” He smirks when the finishes.

I want to hit him so hard for some reason, like in a cartoon or anime when they karate chop or hammer fists the person's head. But alas this is not something like that.

I sigh thinking for a moment than ask. “What is your Status Nibbit? Since I don’t have the skill and lower level than you” I raise my eyebrow curiously waiting for his response.

He smiles brightly and starts chuckling. “Ho ho.. Does sire which to see thines humble servants status, how-”

I cut him off and glare at him “Finish that sentence and I swear to god” With me saying that he shuts up pretty quickly and makes an audible gulp.

He is sweating a bit under my gaze and starts talking. “W-well.. You already know I am a Goblin, but my class is Goblin Mage, my level is 15 and my Evolution Level is 63. My strength is 22, endurance 29, agility is 35, Dexterity 29, Intelligence 38, Wisdom 31, charm 4 and luck is 50” He puffs his chest out in pride at the last stat.

Huge stats with luck and his charm is higher than mine.. I’m not letting that go about my charm.. My mom always said I was handsome.. Sniff sniff.. The game just wants to be a dick..

Wait.. “What’s this Evolution Le-” I started and some blue notifications showed up.

Well that was interesting to say the least. So I can evolve into something after Demon Lord? What will I become, an Emperor Demon Lord? Hahaha! Please tell me that's not a thing..

I get rid of all the notifications and my status and I Notice that Nibbit has been talking for the whole time. I hope it wasn’t important. It would be a shame to miss something and be too lazy to ask him to repeat it..

He takes a deep breath and wipes his brow smiling a bit. “Did you get all that sire, I could repeat it if necessary”

I answer like any person would do if they just skipped a tutorial or a long chat like the owl in a certain game. “Yep, I understood everything you said, thank you for your help Nibbit!”

I smile and bow which he starts panicking and starts shouting for me to stop bowing that he isn’t worthy of the thanks.

I smirk when I stand up straight to see him so flustered about me bowing to him. Is this how nobles feel when they praise a peasant? Who am I kidding, I doubt any noble would praise a peasant willingly!

I clear my throat and motion to the town square that we visited earlier. “I think we wasted enough time, we should really get this over and done with. Unless you wish to keep standing there with a reddish green face” I Smirk enjoying the scene of him even getting more flustered.

“S-sorry sire! Please follow me!” He yells and starts running towards the square while I walk after him, keeping up with his running speed.

Once we reach the town square we see the Nibbit's Brother [Mayor] and a huge mob of Goblins, young and old. From how much there is I am assuming that this is everyone from the village.. But why would they be all here unless the question is that important for them to hear it as well..

We stop in the middle of the square and Nibbit and his brother go to stand in front of me while they stand side by side with each other.

Nibbit with his hat and staff while his brother, with his cane looking me straight in the eyes not backing down. That's pretty impressive don’t you think?

I cross my arms, looking around a little uneasy. I know I shouldn’t because their friendly but they're all staring at me.. How would you feel if you had more than a hundred people [Goblins] looking at you!

Well unless you like attention that is.. But I’m talking to all of you people who are like me and dislike being in the spotlight! You know my pain and sorrow right now!

The Brother clears his throat pointing at me with his cane. “You King” Yes I know that now, anything else you would like to say you little Grunget.. Even Nibbit sighed when he heard his brother however his Brother didn’t falter.

He takes a deep breath and smiles, going on one knee.. Please tell me the isn't proposing to me!? They have a question for me, everyone is here and he goes on one flippin knee! If this is for real I will raze the whole bloody village and forest to the ground!

He raises his cane to me while the bows his head to me and says. “Serve you?”

Heh? Is he asking to work for me? I think the is.. I look over to Nibbit who nods smiling wryly. He motions to his brother and starts talking.

“What my brother is asking and what we all wanted to ask you right now is.. Will you allow us to follow you Sire? We the weakest creatures in this world wish to follow you to the ends of the world, to the deepest pits and the highest floating island and mountain if you are willing.. We will sacrifice ourselves by your command and will..” He bows his head and kneels as well..

Following his lead I see all the other goblins start kneeling, the old get the help of the younger ones while the children get prodded by their parents to kneel as well..

It’s dead silent right now.. Waiting for me to answer their question.. To rebuke or to accept them.. This is.. I.. I should act all sappy right now like ‘Oh my, they chose me’ But nope.

I smile and chuckle looking at this and look down at Nibbit and say warmly. “Raise your head, I accept you and your- I mean, OUR people..” He then looks up and hears my words he smiles brightly and then something strange happens.

His neck starts glowing and so does the rest of the goblins necks! They start flashing gold than red, then finally purple. Once the light dissipates what remains is a Mark on their neck. A small mark that looks like a purple Demon face with red glowing eyes and a golden crown.

The other Goblins start looking at each other's marks confused while I get another notification with while the Goblins start chatting amongst themselves feverously.

{[Congratulations!]} {[You have marked your First Subjects!]}

Huh?

(Hello! Haven't really posted a lately.. *Sigh* Sorry for that, also sorry about none of the actual diagram boxes, I wasted more than half an hour to get it to work just to back out of it and was like "F It". I've been stressed lately so that's why I haven't really posted any and when I said I would do it, I also had to deal with some stuff irl so I kept away from writing. Anyways, thanks for reading and have a Good Day/Night!)
