Why a Goblin?

It’s been a while since I’ve spoken to you all like this right? Well, listen it's not my fault, whoever is running this show got all caught up on the whole narration thing. While I was left saying a bunch of one-line cliches! Crazy right?!

Well, I’m back! The great green Royal Goblin Rick! There’s been a lot I’ve wanted to tell you about how I feel about everything that’s going on, but I couldn’t for reasons out of my control! I will now though, cause who knows when I’m gonna be forced to go back to these one-line cliches! Just being all serious all the time! I’m still that Hollywood Goblin star ready to change the world!

Anyways here I am in this cave with Kida and all these other Goblins from the plains. We’ve just finished our breakfast, which is very important by the way! Now me and Kida plan on breaking down her evolution. I’m actually really excited, for one she’s flipping huge!!

And although I’ve been locked in mentally, physically, and emotionally with the Goblin race, it's my first time actually thinking one of the female Goblins was attractive! It's not like I thought they were ugly before, but I just couldn’t find them attractive in any way

But here comes Kida evolving into a beautiful athletic giant of a Goblin! Plus she’s been blessed in certain areas that I couldn’t just ignore...sigh. I know I shouldn’t be focusing on things like this with all the stuff going on, but I couldn’t help it okay? It's a tough life for a Goblin!’

[I wonder if Geedi would appreciate these thoughts.]

Ah! Now, why would you bring Geedi up Velora. There’s no way she’s still looking to have my children right? Yeah, there’s no way..Right?

[Well, you’ll find out really soon now won’t you? It should be really interesting if she does indeed still wish to have children with you.]

I don’t even want to think about that, I’m too young for kids! Whatever, let's focus on what’s right in front of me.

“Alright Kida, we can talk about your evolution a little now. First of all, what are the major changes you can say about your new state versus your previous self?”

“Well I’m still not sure on everything but so far the biggest change I can feel is the amount of mana I have access to. As a Maglin I’ve been accustomed to using mana since my birth, so it was the first thing I noticed when I evolved.

Apart from that, I’m still feeling it out, you’ve obviously seen...ahem...the physical changes I’ve gone through, but I think I’ve received new abilities along with the expanded mana capacity. I won’t be sure exactly what they do until I actually give them a try, but I have a general idea.”

Velora you saw that little cough?! She knows I saw her damn boobs! Do you think she’s upset? It’s not my fault she was naked!

[I’m sure she’ll be fine, just focus on this evolution, it's good information for me as well. The more evolution knowledge I gain the better I can predict other evolutions. In fact, I might already have a rough estimation on that.]

Hmm tell me more about that later then.

“Hmm..Kida, how can you tell exactly what abilities you have and how to use them?”

“Oh that’s an easy one, Mr.Rick It’s just a feeling. Almost as if you’ve had the knowledge your whole life, though once you learn something new when evolving it will usually take some time to get accustomed to that new skill and all the capabilities of it. Isn’t that how it is for you too as well Mr.Rick? I’m pretty sure that’s how it is for every Goblin in the plains.”

“Just a feeling huh..Well yeah, I guess you can say it’s like that for me too, I was just checking to see if it was different for the Goblins in the plains. Now you should definitely get accustomed to your new body before we complete the rest of the journey back to my tribe, or our tribe I guess it is now. You all can go outside and begin doing that near the cave, I’ll be out there soon to join you.”

Kida agreed with Rick, and she excitedly made her way outside, with Zargi who himself was also very excited and was keen on seeing just what Kida could do. After all, as long he kept getting stronger he would eventually evolve and be able to do similar things as Kida.

The two High Goblins and both TinkGoblins followed them outside as well, it seems everyone was interested in seeing the new and improved Kida. That just left a lone Royal Goblin in Rick remaining in the cave. Seemingly thinking about truly critical things.

Go away narrator! This is still my time to shine! Anyway, Velora I probably should’ve done this a long time ago, but I really should’ve long checked everyone’s statuses. Well, better late than never, and what better time to check than right now. So can you bring up Kida's status please?

[Sure, but first what is this narration thing you keep talking about?]

The enemy of my storied legend and future stardom Velora. Truly a despicable thing if you ask me.

[I don’t quite understand, and I don’t believe I ever can. Anyway, here's Kida’s status.]

{Name - Kida}

{Age - 5}

{Race - Elite MagiGoblin}

{Tier 2}

{Health - 35/35}

{Mana - 55/55}

{Strength - 15}

{Agility - 20}

{Intelligence - 25}

{Endurance - 15}

{Skills}

{Mana Manipulation III}

{Elemental Affinity III}

{Spell Construct Mastery I}

So she does indeed have skills, it did cross my mind when I saw her fighting, but I thought that rude voice that interrupted my dreams said it was rare to have skills below Tier 5?

[I believe that is still the case, I think what you're seeing is the abilities she naturally possesses due to her race displayed in the status as a skill to make things easier for you.]

I guess that makes sense because if a dragon is born with the ability to breathe fire, I suppose that wouldn’t be a skill but just a natural thing similar to breathing normally for it..But how will I know when someone has one of those rare skills and not some natural born ability?

[The system should differentiate if you encounter such a situation. For now just assume all skills you see are just a natural born ability of that individual displayed as a skill.]

I also noticed she has access to mana which makes sense because of her race but I wonder if I will ever get this access as well?

[Perhaps on your next evolution.]

Sigh perhaps..There’s still so much I really don’t understand about skills and statuses. Even her race is slightly different, adding Elite is a prefix instead of just calling her a Hobgoblin like Jaba..I guess that has to do with her type? Anyway Velora, is it possible for you to bring up the descriptions for each skill ?

[Let's give it a try.]
