Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Goblin Slayer

Jake finally took his first step towards his transmigrated world: Iganaria, a land of magic and swords. Mana laid its ties into the roots of plants, and through them, it was exhaled from their leaves.

"What a beautiful world!"

Jake looked beside him; the dummy was standing there.

"What do you think, Gobolin-sama?"

The dummy tilted its head, looking at Jake.

"Master, who is this Gowolin-chama?"

Jake laughed at the dummy, who stood there, confused.

Now, it was time for Jake Miller's adventure to begin. In front of him lay a vast forest, ready to be explored and to hand him an elf as a reward for existing.

"My elf waifu, here I come!" Jake exclaimed as he stepped into the forest.

The dummy turned towards his master and asked, "Waifu elf, does Master eat elves?"

Jake glanced at his sidekick, his face twisted with disgust,

'Ewww, What the heck! You tiny man!'

He continued and pounding his chest, "No, we make a harem."

The dummy, still pressing, "Harem?"

"Yes, a group of women who like me and only me. Isn't that great?"

The dummy tried to understand. "We, like Master, are we your harem?"

Jake was so disgusted by this that his face twisted in horror.

"No, are you crazy?! Glasses, shut this green midget up."

Nerdy looked at his master, sighed, and then tore some clothes off of Gloomy. Gloomy tried to resist, but Nerdy just tore it with force and then used it to tie around the Dummy's mouth.

With the fabric being round up and turned into a ball, he stuffed it inside the Dummy's mouth and used the remaining fabric to tie it around the back to tightened it.

With that he faced his master.

"Master, he will not bother you anymore." Nerdy bowed a little.

"You are the only one useful here."

Nerdy face lit up, he bowed again with grace like a butler.

He replied with soft and polite voice, "Thanks for the compliment, Master."

Jake face towards the forest again, his eyes met the forest.

It looked ominous, more so for a city boy. He instinctively took a step back 

In front, the forest was dark and gloomy, unlike the fantasy world promised to an isekaied person. Numerous creatures lurked, ready to kill and devour the flesh of the living; this was a truly bad place for a city boy.

But Jake didn't know.

As he brushed off his fear. He stepped forward.

The three goblins soon followed behind their master footsteps.

Slowly making their way, they went past various shrubs and vines twisted with horror, and grotesque pattern, these horror went macabre on his instinct.

But he managed his best to keep composure.

The light barely penetrated this forest floor. With little sun to dry up the moist, the floor was cover in swarm in some places with moving debris above it.

He tense up, looked behind he saw his goblins were right behind. 

He heave a sigh of relief, then turned back towards the forest.

Jake and his cohort of goblins ventured deep into the forest for elf hunting.

Their mind alert, trying to see through the dense canopy and vegetation.

The group tried their best to avoid danger, the gloomy one has silently activate a skill.

The dumb one rotating his head as much as he could to get a 360 view, it almost made him dizzy. 

Nerdy slapped dumb head, to stop his tomfoolery.

But they didn't know there was a someone else there too, a hunter, who was doing some hunting of his own. Clad in armor covering him from head to toe, this hunter seems sinister and dangerous. From his belt dangled a pair of throwing axes, nicked and scarred from countless fights.

In his hand was a sword drenching in blood as he was hunting small green men in a gruesome manner, filled with only hatred for the green men he pursued.

And soon, his path would cross with Jake, the waifu hunter, the elf lover, and a potential harem builder.

Jake was walking through the forest, now dead tired from his hunt. He hadn't found a single elf yet, if they even existed in this world.

"Ugh... Where is my..."

Before this degenerate could finish his sentence, a well-meaning hunter shot an arrow, but by the curse of the devil, the bastard missed.

The arrow instead struck the dummy. Oh, poor soul.

Before Jake could assess what was happening, another arrow shot, this time hitting Nerdy.

'Oh no, run, run, run! I can't die without my harem.'

This coward ran, leaving behind his goblin friends to die. Unfortunately, the hunter didn't care about this pipsqueak, so for now, the bastard was safe.

Sometimes the world is cruel...

Jake, while running, was begging someone, "God, please let me survive this... I will pray to you daily."

When he should be begging me, I am writing his story, god damn it.

Gloomy was so gloomy that he was camouflaged into the gloomy forest, so the hunter didn't see him.

After lodging his arrow, the hunter came to finish the job. There lay the bloodied bodies of two goblins, one wearing glasses and purple robe and the other with his mouth shut with fabric.

Seeing that, the hunter flinched a little. He looked toward the footsteps left by a scrawny mage who might have soiled his pants while running, then he looked towards the goblins.

Without saying anything, he pulled out a rope and tied it around the goblins, then began following the footsteps.

The goblins, now bound to their leashes, were dragged through the mud of the moist forest in miserable silence.

Green blood lacing the path yet soon, the forest floor drank it. Leaving no traces.

The footsteps led out of the forest towards a cabin.

Tracing the footsteps, the hunter arrived at the cabin door when suddenly a darkness enveloped him. This darkness slowly crept towards the hunter's joints. Before the hunter could do anything, a laugh so malicious even devil will be visiting churches to purify themselves.

"Mr. Goblin Slayer, today you are going to face the wrath of the world's strongest summoner, Corvus Montague."

The unflinching hunter looked straight at Jake with his crimson eyes hiding behind the helm.

Jake flinched for a second, "Don't tell me..."
