Named Monster, Gogrid the Greedy
202? Named Monster, Gogrid the Greed #1
A goblin walked among the blue-eyed dead, trembling.
It seemed to be a young entity that had not yet fully grown, as it was smaller and sturdier than the other entities.
Kerruk, hehehe… .
The guy soon knelt down in front of me, then held out something he was holding in one hand.
It’s a shiny piece of glass.
Cass. Cassette… Keuheu… .
I heard that goblins have a habit of collecting shiny things in their nests. This piece of glass is probably a treasure of its own.
Offering one’s treasure is an expression of goodwill to both monsters and humans.
Keuheu… .
Lying face down on the floor with his shoulders hunched, almost as if he were practically glued to the floor, perhaps that means he’s begging to be spared?
So when you’re wondering what to do.
Keuuugh, kehehehe-.
“Hey, this kid just insulted Hassan by calling him a fool with a black head like a stray dog!!”
Paranoy, who was watching this scene next to me, started shaking as if he was having a seizure.
I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t help but ask back.
“What? What?”
“This, this kid has just insulted Hassan-nim!! This, this is truly an unacceptable crime! Please give me, Paranoy, Hassan-nim’s right-hand man, permission to execute this guy…!!”
Paranois often have sudden accelerations. Paranois’ accelerator is so sensitive that even if a feather touches them instead of just the sole of their foot, they will make a loud “boo-ahh” sound and keep running.
The horsepower is also good, so the 0-100 km/h acceleration is short. So there are times when I can’t keep up even if I use my head.
“What insult? This guy insulted me?”
Kehehe, hehe!
It seems that this young goblin was also confused.
I don’t know if the guy understands what I’m saying, but he cringes as if he’s scared of the long, rampaging Paranoia.
Kerruk, harruk, cassette.
“Ah!? Just now, this guy called you, Hassan-nim, a fool who whines at the strong, bullies the weak, and beats them up with a stick-!! Hassan-nim, this guy, this guy shouldn’t be allowed to live-!!”
Can Paranoi understand goblin speech? I wondered if this little bastard who was kneeling before my feet was really cursing at me.
No matter how I looked at it, I felt that Paranoy’s delusions were rampant.
So I ignored the growling Paranoy like a hungry panther and spoke to the trembling goblin at my feet.
“Okay, I’ll accept your kind offer. You will be my subordinate.”
Kehehehe-.
I accepted the shard of glass that the young goblin offered me. I don’t know if my words made sense, but there seemed to be a strange hope in the red eyes looking up at me.
That was only for a moment.
“Of course I must serve you even after I die.”
I grabbed the glass shard and struck the bastard’s head with my gauntlet, causing it to burst. The prone bastard squirmed and reached out to my fist.
Kkueeeek-!!
Paranoy, who had been running wild until just now, spoke as if he was terrified at the sight.
“Mi, you betrayed my trust and even took away my hope… Hassan, how deep are you sinking…?”
Keuuuu… .
Paranoy was amazed at the sight of the young goblin dying, as if he was seeing something truly evil, but in fact, this was the norm.
One lesson I learned from following Elfriede is that monsters can always threaten my life.
That is why, even if they are young and look weak, you must kill them without mercy to avoid trouble.
Hey…!
The right hand of this young entity, whose head had actually burst open and was spurting blood – was clutching a rather sharp piece of glass in its right hand.
Even though it is a crude piece, if you poke it hard enough, a hole could be made in a person’s thin skin and blood could spurt out.
This little brat must have tried to stab me in the neck with this while I was off guard.
Maybe, as Paranoy said, this little brat was just swearing at me.
I suddenly felt a heat rush to my head as I thought about how I almost got murdered.
“Take care of everything.”
Geeeeeeeeek-!!!
Gayaaaaaaaaaah-!!!
At my angry command, the blue-eyed dead opened their mouths and roared.
Then, it squeezes through the holes scattered throughout the cave and tears apart the monsters hiding inside.
This was not a battle or anything, it was just a one-sided massacre.
The sight is so creepy, and my heart starts pounding at the thought of me controlling these guys.
So where is the king or leader of these guys?
As I was crossing my arms with that feeling, a certain goblin came up to me and opened his mouth.
Click, click.
I could vaguely tell that the guy was trying to say something to me, but for now, I have no idea what he was saying.
So, as I was furrowing my brows slightly, Paranoy, who was also crossing his arms next to me, said.
“It looks like this guy has something to show you, Hassan…!”
“Really? Is that true?”
Click.
Then the goblin nodded as if he agreed with Paranoy’s words. I followed him and dug through the intricate holes in the cave.
How far inside did you go, into the anthill-like interior?
“This is-.”
I discovered quite an amazing sight inside.
“Oh, come on-!! T, stop it already-!!”
There, a woman was lying on the floor, squirming, her hands and feet tied and blindfolded. She had short blonde hair and was wearing light armor. She even had a small shield in her hand.
I knew something about this woman.
I think he was part of the Iron Tier Party Scarz or something. If I remember correctly, his name was Kashi, Kakashi, I don’t remember what the fuck.
People’s names in this world all seem to be similarly greased, so there’s nothing that really sticks out.
Anyway, why is he here?
I was a little flustered for a moment.
I remembered that this was what goblin stashes were all about. Goblin cubs like to hide anything that looks valuable in their nests.
This guy was probably treated as a treasure and brought into the nest. In reality, many residents and low-level adventurers are said to be kidnapped by goblins.
“Hey, get out of here-!!”
There didn’t seem to be any injuries or signs of harm to his body, but you could tell he was quite frightened.
I understand that if I were kidnapped by goblins and put in a corner room like this, I might panic.
But what should I do with this guy?
It would be the humane thing to do to let them go, but I am currently using necromancy to clean out the goblins.
If this guy is shown this appearance, it is obvious that a big problem will arise in various ways.
What should I do?
As I was thinking for a moment, something flashed through my mind.
Hassan of Samaria rescues the rookie adventurer who was kidnapped by goblins, and finally captures the Goblin King.
Even I thought it was a pretty plausible scenario. If it was that kind of a good story, it wouldn’t be a big deal to make it onto the pages of a newspaper.
So I placed a few of the goblins I saw in this Iron Tier girl’s room, sealed the room with a small rock-like thing, and spoke to Paranoy.
“Paranoy, I have a favor to ask of you. If you obey my orders, I can raise your share of Hell back to 6p.”
“Are you, uh, giving me a chance to get revenge?”
“okay.”
“Ugh-!!”
At those words, Paranoy trembled as if he was deeply moved.
They say that dogs sometimes urinate when they are so happy, and I was a little worried that Paranoia might do the same, but Paranoia asked me to urinate again.
“So, what should I do?”
“Simple. When I give the signal, release him and bring him to where I am. Tell him that Hassan of Samaria rescued him and that we are currently defeating the Goblin King, so he can be reassured.”
“So, are you saying that Hassan, you really want to show us the scene where the foolish barbarian warrior Hassan of Samaria defeats the Goblin King?”
“Yeah, that’s similar. I get it.”
“Is there really a need for that? Why are you so obsessed with the false identity of Samaritan?”
Paranoia asked as if he really didn’t know.
This guy has no doubt that my true self, Hassan, is a false identity, and that my true self is a necromancer and the son of Pluto or something.
Since I didn’t have time to explain at length, I decided to respond with a plausible story.
“If you are my right arm, you should be able to recognize that level of intention. Do you not understand this profound meaning?”
“Ugh-!! That’s not true-!! In fact, in fact, I know all about it-!!”
“Really? Then tell me what it is.”
“That, that, Hassan of Samaria, he seems like a fool, but in fact, he, what is it… .”
I don’t know if it was just my imagination, but I could almost hear the little nymph’s head rattling like an old washing machine. If I keep doing this, there’s a chance I’ll mess up what I’m doing.
“Ah-!! I understand!! You wore the mask of a hero and tried to control the world in both the sun and the shade-!!”
“Yeah, you’re half right.”
“Me, half…?”
Paranoy blinked as if he didn’t understand something. In fact, his intentions were transparent. He just wanted to build a reputation.
“I, Paranoy, the right-hand man of Hassan-nim, boast the most brilliant mind among Hassan-nim’s followers, but even I can only do half of what he wants. Hassan-nim is truly amazing… .”
Paranoy boasts the most brilliant mind among my followers?
For a moment, I wondered what he was talking about, but it was only this guy who believed I was a god. No, when I thought about it, Antiope was added too. Is he just proud of being the best of the two?
Wouldn’t Antiope be smarter than that? Of course, I didn’t say that out of consideration for Paranoy’s feelings.
“Anyway. You have to do as I say. Okay?”
“Huh, don’t worry…!”
Paranoy nodded, clenching his fists as if he was really confident.
I still felt uneasy, but it was so easy to bring someone in according to the signal that anyone could do it.
Now all that’s left is the actor.
All we’re doing is recruiting a guy called the Goblin King or some kind of king or something.
I’ll knock the guy down with a club and leave him as a dead man.
I will greet the audience with the sight of myself slaughtering all the dead and resurrecting the Goblin King from the dead, and subduing him after a fierce battle between me and him.
The first time I got involved with that Ka-what girl’s party was when I was training and fighting with my punks. Just doing it on a bigger scale.
“This is incredible.”
I was impressed because I thought it was a really great idea.
Normally, my head creaks as if it’s rusted, but I don’t know why it’s so dizzy when it comes to deceiving others.
So, you still haven’t found the Goblin King or whatever?
『Settling the battle of the minions-.』
The words of the battle settlement keep coming to my mind, as if the puppets I raised are active here and there.
My current task score is +355.
When I first entered this cave, my task level was around 310, so I killed roughly 45 goblins in this cave alone.
At this point, I think it’s almost like calling him Goblin Genocide Hassan. It seems like there’s still no clue about the guy called King who’s somewhere in this cave.
Swish, swish.
I followed the path my soldiers took as they slaughtered others.
Finding your way through the narrow cave is not difficult, as you just need to head towards the place where goblin corpses are strewn about.
“Get up and fight-.”
I also didn’t forget to resurrect the dead corpses. The number of goblins I’m currently commanding is 40.
My head started to feel dizzy, whether it was because I was slowly reaching the limit of what I could call mental strength, or because I was running out of air in this dreary underground tunnel, but I was able to bear it somehow.
However, I don’t think it will last long.
At most, it would take an hour or two.
I have no choice but to see it through to the end before then. Or I can retreat today and come back tomorrow.
It’s a retreat.
I made a choice that I would normally have thought about and considered without thinking much about it.
Maybe it’s because I came out determined to do something today, but running away like this seems a bit shameful.
I’ll finish it today.
My name, Hassan, will be prominently displayed in tomorrow’s morning paper.
“Find it. Find the Throne of Skulls.”
I spoke to the dead who had just risen and were waiting to give me my orders. The guys quickly disappeared into the darkness again, their blue eyes glowing.
Is it a race against time?
That was when I was thinking that way.
Geeeeeeeeeee-!!!
Ugh, you, you little shit-!!
There was a scream that was so loud it sent shivers down my spine. I thought it was my little friend’s scream. It was a scream that felt different from the sounds he usually makes.
A fairly thick voice.
The deep voice of a man, neither me nor a paranoiac nor a female adventurer like Ka, was mixed in from somewhere.
“Paranoy, did you hear that too?”
“Me too, I heard it too…!!”
When I asked Paranoy, who was following me, he nodded in agreement. Soon, I headed towards where the screams were heard.
I was able to enter a fairly large space that I didn’t think was a cave.
As soon as you enter the room, the first thing you see is red linen, velvet, silk, and all sorts of other unknown fabrics spread out on the floor.
And a chair in the middle of it, with torches burning above it, and plates on it.
A chair made from the bones of an unknown animal.
A giant- sitting on top of it and fighting with my minions.
A giant green lump of flesh.
It’s a real Gigantamax goblin.
The moment I saw him, I couldn’t help but smile because I was so happy.
“Nice to meet you, kid. I really wanted to meet you.”
You, who are you-!!
[Work Review]
By the way… many people have commented recently that Hassan’s personality is like the side of a kimbap that is bursting…
That Michuri… Rolling on the floor every day… Necromancy… The appearance of a man with uncontrollable power… I wanted to show it to you just once…!!!
Of course, there is no personality that can explode more than this… That is why it becomes a character collapse…
Since ancient times, the mind of a noble writer has been to not make readers uncomfortable in any way…!!
I will educate Hassan with Luna’s affection, Hippolyte’s care, and Elfriede’s whip so that he does not cross the line of unpleasantness…!!
The story of Hassan, who grows both on the outside and inside…!!
And likewise, we will show you Michuri that is evolving and improving even more…!!!
