Kobold Delivery System: The Goddesses Won't Leave me Alone!

Aria walked ahead with her father, and with one word, the crowd parted away.

The goblins kept watching us with a mix of caution and curiosity.

We soon reached a long wooden table, and per Aria's words, it was the place where they held meetings.

I cleared my throat and tapped the table.

"Alright, here's the plan. We spread a rumour that there are resources in the volcano.

Once the Orcs hear that, they will charge straight toward it. And we would circle from the back and push them from behind until they fall inside."

Aria's father blinked at me, then leaned back with his arms crossed.

"Kid," he said with a surprised tone, "where were you during the Goblin–Kobold war?

Because if you were there, thinking the same way, you would have left me no choice but to marry my daughter to you and make peace."

Aria smiled and pressed her arm tighter around mine, her soft chest brushing my arm on purpose.

"Dad, you always said Mother knew how to choose. So do I."

I stared at both of them. "Guys… I'm still here. You can leave the father-daughter discussion for later"

Aria laughed and hugged my arm even harder. "But it's more fun when you hear it yourself."

Her father shook his head. "You're becoming more like your mother every day."

After the meeting, we stood up and the goblins spread the rumour…

It didn't take long for the Orcs to start moving towards the volcano, just like we wanted.

But something felt wrong.

Bruuk slipped out of meetings early, never speaking. His eyes darted everywhere like a criminal's.

I followed him quietly.

The moment he left the camp border, I knew it. The direction he was taking was toward the orc settlements.

I kept following him, and once he dropped his guard, I smirked

This was my chance.

I stepped behind him silently. He didn't even sense me. I raised my hand, and in a sharp movement, I struck the back of his head with full force.

His skull cracked like a watermelon and he fell face-first, twitching, but I could tell he was still alive.

I leaned down and whispered into his ear, "I will take care of your wife"

He couldn't even move his lips and looked at me with unwilling eyes, until he finally died

The system chimed in my head at that exact moment.

[Quest Complete, Variable Removed]

"Damn, so he was a variable?" I murmured, kicking his corpse.

Then the rush hit me.

It felt like fire spreading through my veins.

My bones stretched, my muscles tightened.

I grew taller, way taller, until I stood around 1.9 meters. My body felt heavier, but stronger.

My muscles became dense like steel, and my claws sharp like razors.

I tested them on a nearby tree, and with one swipe, I shattered the trunk into shards. The force blew the pieces into the air.

I froze. "...Did I just accidentally become the strongest being in this forest?"

Because as far as I knew, no Kobold could hit at this level.

I walked back to camp. And the moment Aria saw me, her eyes widened.

"Oh god, Ragnar, is that you?" she whispered, taking a closer look at me.

Her eyes scanned me from head to toe, the change was shocking, she was previously roughly my height, now I could tower over her with a full head.

Aria seemed to like how small she looked next to me, and glued herself to my side.

Then she reached out and touched my arm, her fingers pressing into my muscles, then she slid her hand slowly up to my shoulder.

"It's warm," she whispered. "And you smell…potent"

The next moment she leaned her face into my bicep and started sniffing like a cat.

Her father arrived behind her, froze when he saw us, and turned around, trying to leave.

"Oh, sorry, wrong house," he muttered before realizing it was his house "Hold on… Ragnar Kael? That's you?"

I nodded. "Yeah. Let's stay focused. How's the plan going?"

He suppressed the shock and straightened himself up, "We already circled the orcs. Now we just need to push them towards the volcano."

"Good. My job is done then." I said, trying to leave.

But before I took even one step, Aria grabbed my arm, holding me in place

"We are noble goblins. We can't let our savior leave without a proper banquet in his honor." She said in a firm voice.

"Stay for tonight. I will make sure to reward you," she said, squeezing my arm again, her chest brushing me intentionally.

Her father saw the mood, and immediately understood, giving a thumbs-up toward Aria before slipping away.

Aria didn't even notice him leaving. She only looked at me, her fingers still wrapped around my arm, and her cheeks slightly warm.

I smirked, looking at her. "Alright, I'll stay. I really want to experience the goblins' hospitality."

She smiled seductively at me and whispered in my ear, "Don't worry, I'll make you think about staying here forever. "

The mood became increasingly intimate, thank God we were alone in the hut.
