Chapter 1: Reincarnated As A Human?

Tensei Shitara Universe [Kingdom of Brumund]

Brumund Adventurer Guild

"Thank you for patiently waiting, sir. Here is your payment for completing the request to subjugate the pit of Goblins that have been kidnapping women from the nearby village," a cute receptionist said to a blonde-haired teen with blue eyes while handing him a small bag of gold coins.

The receptionist is a beautiful young woman in her late teens or early twenties. She has brown hair and eyes, and she was wearing a business suit and skirt, like most female guild workers.

"Are there any other requests for monster subjugation available?" the blonde teen asked as he took the gold and placed it into his bag. "The last quest was too easy."

"There are some requests available," the receptionist answered with a small frown. "But I think you should take some time off to rest, you just came back from a week-long quest after all."

"I am not tired or injured, so can I please have the quest," the blonde asked the receptionist again with his hand out like he expected her to just give in and place the request paper in his hand.

The adventurer and receptionist looked at each other straight in the eyes without flinching. There was a battle of wills, with neither wanting to surrender, but the receptionist was the first to break eye contact and sighed as she gave Naruto the request paper. Her shoulders slumped as she watched the blonde have a triumphant smirk.

"You have to stop going on quest after quest without resting Naruto, you are going to get yourself killed out there one day," the receptionist said with a look of sadness on her face. She had sent countless adventurers off to their deaths but always tried to give everyone quests that suited their level and advice to raise their chance of survival.

"You don't have to worry about me so much, Sara," Naruto said gently. "I know what I am doing."

"I sure hope so Naruto, for your own sake," Sara said as she watched Naruto leave the Guild hall. She turned her attention to another adventurer who returned to get his reward. The receptionist put on a fake smile on her face as she assisted the adventurer and internally prayed for the blonde idiot's safety on his quest.

Outside Guild

Naruto walked through the busy streets of Brumund. He watched people going about their daily lives: adults buying food and clothes or simply talking to one another, and children playing. It was peaceful, but there was one thing Naruto learned from his past life: peace is a lie.

"Let me see here, this request is to subjugate a pack of monster wolves that has been killing travelers on the path to Brumund," Naruto said as he read the quest paper aloud. "This doesn't seem too difficult, but then again there could be complications."

The last quest he took to subjugate some Goblins was actually harder than he let on. He had located the Goblins' base, which was a hidden cave. He stealthily made it inside the cave, but once he was inside, things began to go south real fast.

Flashback Scene Ahead

Naruto was in a dark cave surrounded by Goblins, but that would usually not be a problem no matter how many Goblins there were because the monsters were usually very weak. However, the problem was that there were evolved Goblins there too: 2 goblin mages and 5 goblin riders on horseback. The blonde guessed they stole the horses from some of the people they killed.
