Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!

—–

A typical Isekai scenario! You know, when Goblins try to take down a caravan with a merchant, and the heroic main character takes them down and becomes friends with a merchant by saving him, opening up the possibility of connections with aristocrats!?

It is always so overused… But will I get my chance now?

I actually have no interest in making friends with a greedy merchant, but we might as well play along.

“At full speed, my steed!”

“GROAR!”

Kuro releases a loud roar as he begins to rush down the road in the middle of the grasslands, the caravan right in front of us!

“Oi, are you kidding me? You’re going to help humans? Just let them die. I bet those Goblins are just hungry,” Lucifer said.

“I won’t listen to your seductive words, handsome dragon! I will go valiantly save these people and make connections with them!” I said as I bravely leaped off of Kuro after we reached the area where shit was going down.

“Seriously…” Lucifer sighed.

Partner followed right behind me, raising her spear.

“Fight!” She shouted.

As soon as we reached the caravan, we found a group of seven goblins, armed with rusty armor, some leather clothes (not loincloths, by the way), and using some weapons and shields, but…

Eh? They seemed to be struggling.contemporary romance

I looked over at the humans and noticed there were five super buff guys. I checked their status, and they were all E-Rank adventurers, who are considerably above the average. Their equipment looked fresh as well, and they seemed to be overwhelming the weak goblins.

They were also smiling!

“Haha! So they came for us! Come, we’ll carve out your mana cores and sell them!”

“The equipment they’re using could also fetch some coins, boss!”

“J-Just kill them already!”

An old man that looked clearly like the merchant was trembling inside the caravan, and he was surrounded by… cages?

Inside the cages, there were many green-skinned people, and even some people with furry ears.

Wait. Hold on. What’s going on in here?

“G-Give me back, my daughter!” Cried a goblin, raising his blade against one of the humans.

He clearly spoke the common tongue.

CLASH!

“A measly G-Rank monster like you can’t even kill a rat, and you think you stand a chance against us just because you got some equipment?” Laughed one of the men before easily evading the goblin’s attack, kicking him in the stomach and throwing him away.

“Uggh…!”

“Papaaa!”

One of the tiny, green-skinned people caged inside cried for her father, the goblin that had just been beaten down into the ground.

“W-We won’t give up until you give us back our families! Where’s my wife?!” Another goblin valiantly rushed forward, as he used his blade to release a technique, but the human in front raised his shield, blocked him, and hit his face with the shield, sending him flying into the distance…

No way, this is not a normal Isekai, huh?

Goblins that can talk and are enslaved… they’re not trash mobs then? They’re more like… a demi-human tribe then.

“This… They’re enslaving goblins?! T-Those damn humans!”

Lucifer, however, suddenly gets angry and jumps into action before me.

BOOM!

He transforms into a giant five-meter tall, black-scaled dragon, and the humans and goblins alike are paralyzed in fear; his aura emanates a deadly presence that seems to be devouring their very souls…

“Enslaving a hardworking and peaceful tribe… I couldn’t expect less from you filthy humans!”

It seems that Goblins are a tribe of Majin and are seen as hardworking and peaceful. Oh wow.

“A D-DRAGOOONN?!”

All the humans were terrified, and the goblins suddenly dropped their weapons out of terror. Some even began falling unconscious.

“Alright! Let me aid you then. I don’t like slavery anyways,” I joined in with a very simple reason other than because I found the goblin girls very cute.

And well, maybe I am a goodhearted person deep down within all the hatred and vengeance-driven emotions I possess that makes me a ghost.

“R-Run away!”

None of the humans tried to fight us back, so it was very easy to pick them up and kill them.

Partner caught up to one of the men that was trying to protect himself with his shield, but Partner’s spear went straight through the shield with ease and impaled the man’s head, killing him instantly.

“Hm? Weak…” She sighed.

I rushed forward and used my shadows to grasp the big guy commanding the others. My shadows were used as tentacles as I violated his orifices mercilessly, mouth, eyes, nose, ears, and butt. He cried so agonizingly that I couldn’t help but laugh manically over the pleasure that his suffering inflicted on me.

Holy shit… I am nuts.

…After that, I jumped over another as if I were a ninja and used [Possession] to possess his body, crushing his heart and lungs and killing him instantly.

Wow, this is easy.

“Guuaaggh…!”

In the other case, Lucifer used his jaws to just eat the other three and crunch them while still alive.

Oh man, hearing them scream in agony really hits the spot.

Maybe because I am such a malicious race of ghosts, hearing the screams of agony of the damned really makes me happy. It is almost instinctual!

“Gyyeeegh! P-Please don’t kill us!” The merchant cried in horror as he saw how we slaughtered his men.

The only one left was this guy who was inside the caravan. Some of the goblins who remained awake looked at the scene with disbelief. I looked at one of them and gave him my hand, which he grasped and stood up.

He looked like a typical goblin, long nose, bald, long ears, but instead of horrid goat-like eyes, they had human-like eyes, which clearly gave away their consciousness and self-awareness as people and not just a vicious race of monsters.

“We are here to help!” I shouted with a smile.

“T-Thank you…” He replied while looking at my own aura of darkness.

He must be quite terrified even now.

“You damn pig! I am going to feast on you!”

Lucifer grabbed the merchant and was about to eat him.

“W-Wait, stop!” Cried the goblin.

“Eh? Why?” Asked Lucifer.
