"What makes up your being? What exactly IS 'you'? No one knows for sure, but if your body is made up of millions billions or trillions of cells, then which one is 'you'? Some might say that every cell is a part of your being, but really. If every cell is a part of 'you' then you would lose a part of yourself every single moment of your existence, while new ones replaced them.
That means that you are constantly changing, your body, your mind, even your soul, they're always changing. Is that still 'you'?
What actually defines 'you'? The brain cells that send your memories forward until you expire? I don't think so.
Now let's say that you have a machine that can copy your memories, like taking a picture, in that single frame, your entire existence is duplicated.
What if the original 'you' met the copy 'you'? From the copy's point of view, with the same memories as the original, the copy would think of itself as the original, and it would think that the orginal is the copy, so which one is the actual original, hell, if that happened then would there still be an original or a copy?
Because the moment there're two 'you's, then your memories would begin to branch off, experiencing different things, doing different things, seeing different things. Then the two 'you's would become two different people."
-Drake Sill, The Original 'you'.

Sixth Finger
Year 506. The last human empire surrenders to the Great Majin Lord and joins his cause. As the continent in its entirety is submitted to the absolute rule of an undead stories arise of inhuman creatures that led his majesty's armies to terrifying success. While the demon lord grasps the entire world in his hand, generals and comrades eleven of his most loyal and trusted serve as the extension of his will and power. Common world knows these beings only by their position's names. Fingers. Goblins goblins goblins... I hate those pesky creatures. Not smart enough to talk, but intelligent enough to kill. Well. In this world of madness where blood spills left and right fantasy creatures run rampart alongside crazed devotees of long dead gods all meanwhile the frickin Demon Lord is slowly gaining power in order to take over the world precisely without causing its immediate collapse, our little Gob will have quite a chance to find true strength and maybe even understand why humans often do stupid things for this weird word that starts with the letter "L". Who knows, maybe he will even get a better name than Gob in the process... The story is posted daily in short chapters (from 900 to 2000 words per chapter) The story is NOT an Isekai. It's a high fantasy story with isekai element's at best (Majin lord is a Majin after all). I spent some time to create a custom, magic system I hope to properly explore together with you my dear reader. So what are you doing? Go read those early chapters! The story is said to only get better after you drink it... I mean read it. Seriously. After 15 chapters you won't stop. I just feel like pointing something out. I never read "The Iron Teeth: A Goblin's Tale" which seems to be the first thing my fiction will be compared to... P.S. Cover artwork was made by my very own me (hurray me!) PM if you want something painted (no promises). I sometimes lurk in RR discord.
