The goblinfortress

I saw the massive fortress ahead and decided to circle around it, searching for a door. Eventually, I found it—a giant doorway embedded in the wall. It was wide open, with goblins going in and out, carrying various things. Some came in with Level Four or even Level Ten equipment and left with nothing, clearly off to find more to steal.

That's when I came up with a plan. First, I grabbed some grass, crushed it up into a paste with water, and smeared it on my skin to make myself look green like a goblin. Then, I put on some goblin clothes. "A brilliant disguise," I thought. "I'll never get caught."

I walked confidently toward the door, carrying some shiny objects I found on the ground, hoping it would be convincing enough. To my surprise, the goblin guards let me through without any issue. Not really that surprising, I guess—goblins aren't known for their intelligence. I tossed the shiny items into a pile and then, as sneakily as I could, grabbed a Level Five dagger. I hid it on me and quickly left before anyone noticed.

Back at my campsite, I stashed the dagger and grabbed another shiny trinket to try my luck again. This time, I managed to steal the rest of the Level Five gear. Surprisingly, or maybe not so surprisingly, no one noticed. After that, I got bolder and started taking other things—plates, silverware, even a table. I'm still not sure how I got away with stealing a table, but I did. Soon, my campsite was overflowing with random items, most of which I knew how to use, but others were baffling. Like, I somehow ended up with a dishwasher. I have no idea how the goblins got their hands on a dishwasher—or how I managed to haul it out of there.

After filling my camp with all sorts of loot, I realized that the goblins would probably steal the small stuff back unless I buried it. On one of my trips—probably my 30th—I saw something unusual: a traveler wandering around the goblin fortress. This was surprising, considering I thought only goblins were allowed inside.

Before I could question why, the traveler walked straight over to the Goblin King. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention him. The Goblin King is just a massive version of a regular goblin, like a Titan compared to the others. He's terrifying.

Anyway, the traveler asked if he could take shelter in the giant oasis behind the fortress. The Goblin King agreed but only if the traveler worked for him and gave him materials. The traveler said yes, but then the Goblin King's eyes started glowing.

"You're the one who's been terrorizing the goblins," the king growled. "I will eat you now."

Without warning, he grabbed the traveler's head and ate him whole.
