《Goblin Conqueror》Chapter 5 - Mommy?
Advertisement
It's been 4 days since I saved GobiGora from the humans.
He has fully recovered from his injuries, so I decided to let him come with me on hunting.
But first he needs a weapon, he doesn't like to use the short sword so I ask him what weapon he would prefer to use.
"I want big weapon, boss big weapon is scary and strong!"(GobiGora)
"Eh? Are you sure? It will be heavy."(GobiLeo)
"GobiGora is strong! Don't worry boss." (GobiGora)
"Alright, Wait here"(GobiLeo)
I search for the materials I'm gonna use.
"Ok boss."(GobiGora)
It takes us quite a while but we manage to find a suitable wood for the weapon I have in mind.
It's a really thick wood, much thicker than my wooden spear. After that, we head back to base.
I use the short sword to shape it into a club. After 30 mins I finish crafting.
Huge Wooden Club crafted, weapon crafting level up!
The club was quite big, I don't think a normal goblin could wield it. Well, let's see...
"Hey Gora! Come here, I've finished your weapon!"(GobiLeo)
"Thanks boss, let me try it!" says GobiGora while he rushes towards me.
He quickly takes the club from me and starts swinging it.
It was pathetic.............
He is barely able to swing it, whenever he does swing it - he loses his balance... I was hoping that he might be strong since he is stupid, coz that's usually the case. Well, nevermind.
"Damn it, why it is too heavy for me.... Huf...Huf...Huf" pants GobiGora.
He spares me a glance, he seems to be worried...
"Gora brings it here"(GobiLeo)
"Sorry boss, please wait! I can sti...." exclaims GobiGora.
"Shhhhh, don't worry about it, leave it to me, I'll make you a stronger but much lighter weapon" GobiLeo speaks in a soothing tone.
"Ok boss..." says Gora he seems to be sad.
I take the club and go to my storage space grabbing some stuff then I start crafting.

Little by little I modify it into a smaller club, once I get the shape and size I want, I nail the biggest and nastiest spike I have into the edge of the club, piercing it across. Then I take some leather and wrap it around the handle. GobiGora watches me while I make his club, like a kid, he is staring in amazement.
Spike Club+5 Crafted, weapon crafting level up!
Hehehe it turned out quite well.
"Gora here give it a try" GobiLeo says while a hand the club over to GobiGora.
Without wasting time, Gora starts to swing the club like a mad man.
"Boss this is great!"(GobiGora)
"Glad you like it"(GobiLeo)
"Thank you boss! You're the best!"(GobiGora)
"Hehehe lets go hunting now"(GobiLeo)
"Ok boss!"(GobiGora)
It's already midday I wonder how much we can hunt.
As usual, we avoid dangerous beasts, not that we can't hunt them yet. But I don't really want to take the risk, even if we somehow manage to hunt one, I don't think we’ll be able to do it unscratched. An injury is fatal, here in the wilderness there is no one to save us. So I need to be extra careful.
We found a lone deer who seems to be got separated from its group. I quickly grab GobiGora who stupidly wants to charge at it right away. I told him to be quiet and explained the plan.
With its four leg and slender body I'm assuming it's faster than a goblin. So I have to use an ambush, I told Gora that I will do the ambush while he will scare it off from the other side. I made it clear that he needs to make sure it would run towards me.
After everything was setup, I signal Gora to charge at it.
"Run you stupid deer! RAWR!!!"(GobiGora)
I don't think you have the right to call anyone stupid... I think to myself, but anyway, let’s get back to business.
The deer runs towards me, it really is fast, I nearly miss the ambush. Somehow I manage to stab it in the leg, the deer stumbles to the ground. Then Gora still charging at it smashes the head with his club, shattering the skull, blood scatters all over his body and yes it died.... Damn this guy is brutal.

"Boss I killed it!" It's my first time killing a deer!"(GobiGora)
"Hehehe well done."(GobiLeo)
Our hunt continues till the sun went down, we hunt 2 more deer a total of 3, 9 spiked rabbits and 4 small snake.
Wow. this is really good we started the hunt late but we manage to get more than I usually gain in 1 whole day.
"Good job today Gora, you're a big help."(GobiLeo)
"Really, but most of the time all I do is scare our target then because I'm slow and I cannot catch most of them and they escape."(GobiGora)
It’s not because you are slow they escape coz you mindlessly charge at them like a mad dog!
I know, I shouldn't say that.
"Yes, you really are a big help! without you, we wouldn't be able to hunt this much. So don't worry much about it, eventually you will learn and be more effective." I say tapping Gora on the shoulder
"Tha...thanks boss..."(GobiGora) with teary eyes
He seems to become really emotional every time I commended him. I wonder what happened to him in the past.
"Yosh! Let's head back, we're having a feast!"(GobiLeo)
"Ok boss!(GobiGora)
At the base I started a fire using a flint I found nearby, I really don't want to do it, coz it might attract some dangerous animals or people. But I've been craving for some cooked food for a while now! So I did it anyways, I'll just deal with it if ever.
"Wow boss, this taste a lot better!"(GobiGora)
"Hehe I know right?"(GobiLeo)
Suddenly something big crashes close to us.
Huh???
After the dust disappear....
We behold a huge beast, actually it's more than just a beast...
IT'S A FUCKING DRAGON!
The Dragon stared at me for a moment.
Dragon's thoughts:
A goblin? Huh? It's no ordinary goblin, he emits a very bright aura around him, hehehe he will do. Not like I have a choice.
The Dragon seems to be really weak, it is covered with multiple wounds, numerous arrows and spears are stuck in its body, one of the legs is frozen and an arrow is stuck in one of its eyes. I want to help it, but I’m scared, so I can’t say a word at all.
"I...."(GobiLeo)
"Take care of my child, treat her well and I'm sure it will benefit you."(Dragon)
"O...Okay...." (GobiLeo)
The Dragon opens its mouth, dropping an egg, almost the size of a goblin.
Dragon's thoughts:
I wanted to watch over you as you grow up, teach you how to fly and hunt, travel and show you this amazing world has to offer. But this is the only thing I can do right now, I hope you can have lots of adventure with this creature, Goodbye my love, goodbye my child...
A very bright light emits throughout its body, then slowly, pieces by pieces its body disseminate through the wind. The arrows and spears that were stuck to it fell to the ground. When everything is clear a red orb floats in the air, it is magical and Beautiful.
The death of a dragon.
"Boss what just happened?"(GobiGora)
"Who knows"(GobiLeo)
I grab the red orb, then it turns into a gem. I can barely hold it in my hand, this will probably fetch a good price.
I sit down in front of the egg thinking what to with it.
After a few second...
The egg cracks...
Then slowly, it hatches...
A red baby dragon with two cute little wings beholds my sight, slowly its eyes open.
The baby dragon tilts its head while staring at me then,
"Are you my mommy?"(Says the baby dragon in a cute voice of a little girl)
GobiLeo jaw drops...
End of chapter.

Paladin
When the first derelict alien spacecraft fell to Earth, humanity took what was found in it and propelled themselves to new heights. In their new Golden Age, humanity developed technology that they had only dreamed about. The following years saw hundreds more ships crash into the planet, spurring even greater technological leaps. An unassuming spacecraft, one of the dozens that fell yearly, descended on Siberia in 2021. The world took no particular notice of it. However, this one contained something beyond the miraculous technology that had made humans so prosperous. Three years later, in a top-secret underground facility in eastern Colorado, the automated construction of an army of Paladin Mobile Infantry Suits was underway. With this new, state-of-the-art weaponry, the military would turn the tide against the alien incursion that was consuming the planet. Humanity fell before that could happen. Sam was an engineer responsible for overseeing the facility. Now alone, he lives in utter boredom and near insanity, his only company the base’s pseudo AI and an army of empty Paladins. With the world gone to hell around him, and the things that caused it still living above, he decides that he is much better off staying exactly where he is. Unfortunately for him, that is no longer an option. This is the first novel I've written. The first fifteen or so chapters are going to be a little slower. I want there to be time to get to know the characters before they start blowing stuff up. Also, though the MC will be strong relative to the world, he won't be OP, and won't win every fight. Not every fight will be physical either. Currently, I'm aiming for something like 5 fairly short chapters a week, after the introduction part is done, but we'll see how that goes. Thanks for reading, and please let me know if I've made mistakes!

8 88Prelude to Forever : Alden & Maine
A Fictional chronicle of Alden and Maine, how their love developed from work buddies to friendship and love or more succinctly, from Alden and Yaya Dub to Alden and Maine, to RJ and Meng. Stories are inspired by posts on social media accounts of both Alden and Maine, actual Kalyeserye episodes, and feature stories covered by fan magazines. I try to recreate scenarios as close as possible to how things might actually happen, what thoughts go through their minds, as their beautiful relationships unfold. Enjoy this journey with me :)
