~Gazei~
After some serious soul-searching and getting bored outta my damn mind, I made up my mind to survive in this second life for as long as possible. New mission in life: Get strong as hell and do whatever the hell I want!
Turns out, goblins grow real fast. Even though it's only been three days since I came into this world, my body has been growing at a rapid pace while I've been knocked out. Oh, and by the way, I finally figured out who was holdin' my hand all this time. It was a female goblin.
Cute, at least, compared to the rest.
I asked the clear-skinned goblin girl, who was all up in my personal space, "How long you plan on huggin' me, girl?" And she goes to explain something crazy. "Because I love you, you big lug. I'm here to give you the comfort and support of a great hug."
She was showin' her love and care through physical comfort, man. It might seem a bit strange, especially since we just met and all, but sometimes people connect in unexpected ways. Maybe she saw somethin' in me or felt a bond on a deeper level. Love works in mysterious ways, you know?
But also she actin' crazy. Never again.
"Nah, man," I said, shaking my head and trying to understand the situation. "I appreciate the gesture and all, but we barely know each other. It's kinda weird for you to be huggin' me like this right off the bat." I moved my hand, trying to pull away gently, but she held on tightly, refusing to let go.
"Yo," I barked, narrowing my eyes and putting on a more serious tone. I tried with more determination to free my hand from the iron grip that held it, letting her know that I wasn't playing around.
"Silly Gazei~" she cooed, her voice dripping with sweetness, causing my heart to race. Something about her words struck a chord within me. Familiarity washed over me as her words resonated deep in my core. It hit me then, the realization sending a jolt through my being. "Since when does a wife need an excuse to show her husband how much she loves him?" she added, her eyes sparkling with affection.
"Wow... when you put it that way..." I was taken aback, my mind swirling with confusion and a mix of emotions. What the hell did she mean by her words?
Still getting up outta here.
"Alright, you're crazy," I laughed, feeling a mix of relief and confusion. "Wife? Girl, we've only been alive for like three days! How the hell did you come up with such a wild idea?"
I couldn't help but chuckle at the absurdity of the situation. The notion of being married after just a few days of existence seemed ludicrous. I needed some clarification on how she arrived at such a conclusion.
I couldn't help but wonder if she was just joking or perhaps she had a unique perspective on things. She seemed like a special girl, you know? The type who sees a brother and starts envisioning a deeper connection. Maybe there was something about our bond or some shared history that I couldn't quite recall. I couldn't dismiss the possibility that she saw something beyond the surface, something that I was yet to comprehend.
"You are my hubby, now. I'm all kinds of ecstatic," she said, her strawberry-like lips planting a smooch on my cheek. "Call me Rin Hunter from now on, fam... You know, formerly known as Ren!"
"Hold up! Hold the fuck up... Ren!!?" I shouted, completely blown away and trying to process the mind-boggling revelation. I couldn't help but lock eyes with this goblin, her sly smirk triggering a sense of familiarity that sent shivers down my spine.
"Hey, Gazei!" Rin beamed at me, her smile radiating warmth and genuine delight. Her eyes danced with excitement, and her lips curved into a cheerful grin, clearly ready for some wild adventures together.
I was at a loss for words, utterly speechless. I couldn't believe she remembered my name and was genuinely thrilled to see me.
"Oh, damn! My pops was right all along!" I exclaimed, a mix of shock and amazement flooding over me.
