Greg was an ordinary guy who worked for a construction firm. But one day, he died after falling off a high-rise building, and instead of going to hell or heaven or evaporating into nothingness like many people believed, he found himself in a dark, steamy cave.

  The only source of light here were the small patches of colorful mushrooms growing from the ceiling and the moss covering parts of the wall.

  “Ugh… where am I?” Greg said, but his voice came out different. It sounded like the voice of a child and not his twenty seven year old self.

  When Greg tried to move around, even his body felt different. He had to try multiple times just to get back on his feet.

  Then he saw something blue in the distance, and not knowing what to do or where to go, he walked towards it.

  The blue thing turned out to be some sort of bubbling water, and maybe this was the reason there was so much steam here.

  “Is this some kind of hidden hot spring?” Greg joked before bending over to check its temperature.

  But before he could touch the water, he saw his blurred reflection and instantly backed away. For the first time after coming here, he raised his hands and was more than surprised to find out they had turned green.

  Even his legs and other body parts had gone through a similar mutation. Greg, thinking that panicking wouldn't help, decided to see his reflection again, and when he was close enough, he saw it…

  Green skin, yellow eyes, a childlike body.

  Anyone who read any bit of fantasy would immediately single him out as a goblin child.

  Wait… Greg had heard of this phenomenon. Yes, it was a famous fantasy trope in the world where he was originally from.

  Readers called it…

  “Damn, did I really reincarnate as a lowly goblin??” he screamed.
