Reborn In The World of Goblins

Waking Up In Another World.

There wasn't many isekai stories on Goblin Slayer and so I decided to make my own. This is my first isekai and Goblin Slayer fic. I've only read the the manga and watched the anime series so I don't know too much about the universe itself. I don't own Goblin Slayer.

Despite your limitless potential, you are too soft to be one of us. It's a shame but, it's better if I just off you now. Die, son.

".........."

The hell? Why am I awake? Didn't I die? There's no way my old man wouldn't mess up a death.

".....ugh...."

Slowly sitting up is a young Japanese male in his late teens. The teen's clothing consists of tattered jeans, an old white shirt with several holes in it, and a torn leather jacket. His black hair was somewhat long and reached down to his shoulders. Standing up, he is quite tall standing at an impressive six feet and has a well toned body. The teen looks from side to side to see that he was in a forest that's unfamiliar to him. Seeing the sun rising, the teen can assume that it was morning.

"Did my old man dump my body in a forest or something? Talk about being lazy." the boy mutters. "Still, the fact he didn't finish me off is unsettling."

The teen then pats the areas where he was stabbed and was shocked to see that he felt no pain.

"Huh? My injuries." the boy asks, raising his shirt up. "My stab wounds are gone! That's impossible! The old man skewered me with his katana!"

The boy looks around the forest a bit to see if he can see any sort of familiar building or landmark. No matter which forest he is in, he expected to see one of the Japanese mountains or a temple, but nothing. As the boy continues to walk through the underbrush, he looks up and his eyes widened in shock to see two moons.

"A red and green moon?" the boy asks himself, stunned. "I get it now. This is that common trope of where you die and reincarnate in a different world."

From his days as a young boy to the age where he is now, the teen admired the thought of reincarnation. A popular genre among light novels, anime and manga, there was no way he wouldn't be excited over this. Since he hated his previous life of dark dealings and warfare, it was an impossible dream of his of being reborn and starting anew.

"Magic! Let's see if I can use magic!" the boys said excitedly.

The boy then starts to wave his hands to try and use some sort of magic, but nothing. The teen clicks his tongue disappointed.

"Okay then, how about 'Menu, open'!" the boy yells as he hopes to see some screen pop out in front of him.

Again, nothing happened and the teen becomes depressed as he continues to walk deeper into the forest. As the boy continues to explore this new world, it didn't seem any different than his old one. It's quite the disappointment to say the least. Perhaps the difference between fact and fiction was much different than what others thought. After all, it's not like anyone went through such an experience and came back to tell the tale.

"So I can't use magic or bring up a magic status menu." the boy sighs as he kicks a nearby stone. "Some new world this is. It's nothing like what I read. How boring."

The boy takes a look at the forest and lets out a sigh.

"Then again, this feels much better than my previous life." the boy said with a satisfied nod.

The boy looked down and noticed something strange. He found a bunch of footprints. As a former member of the Yakuza, he was forced to learn the ways of tracking so he could follow his victim in the rare scenario they would've escaped his grasp. That being said, he wasn't so familiar with animal footprints, but even so, he can tell that these were made by no animal that existed in his world. They were small, about the size of a child's, and looked human. However, they were also claw marks on each foot which is something humans don't have. The tracks also all have four toes instead of five. This is the boy's second sign of being in another world and it intrigued him.
