Re:Monster

My name is.

Kanata Tomokui!

Y'know what?

A formal introduction is pointless right now.

The dude she's going to town on here is me.

And once she was done,

I most definitely died.

Oh. Eyes open already?

Hold on.

Am I still alive?

How?

Who's this disgusting green monster

standing over me?

Let me think.

I would like to call this big one Gobkichi,

but you look more like a-a Gobrou!

That sounds good! Right, then.

Didn't put much thought into it.

Eat.

What the?

I need to go back to sleep.

When I woke up the next day,

I was surrounded by a bunch of creepy little green babies.

But what was really bizarre,

was that it seemed like

I had been turned into one, too.

And then it hit me,

that psycho beast did kill me.

But then I was reborn as this,

strange, green,

pathetically helpless baby goblin-thing.

Do you blame me for crying?

Ugh.

It's only been a day, right?

Apparently, Goblins age quickly.

A good night's sleep

does the body good in this life.

Ah. Ah. Ah. Yes.

I still don't know where I am.

Or what I am for that matter.

All I know is I've got a second chance at life.

And I'm gonna survive in it

for as long as I can!

Consider this the final meal you get to eat out of my hands

without working for it.

Once you're grown,

you're expected to hunt your own food.

We all fend for ourselves around here.

The sun and the sky look the same,

except for the creepy birds that fill it.

I've never seen plants like these before.

Man.

Guess it's safe to say

I'm in a totally different world.

Never seen. outside.

It's big.

Hey Gobkichi, you're not the only one.

Gobkichi?

That's what they named you, isn't it?

I'm Gobrou.

Gobrou?

Yep. That's me, alright.

For three whole days now.

I strategically teamed up

with the biggest goblin kid, known as Gobkichi,

for one very important reason.

Survival.

Get back here!

You got this, Gobkichi!

Got him! You chase and I catch.

Not a bad system we've got!

Hey!

Are you seriously about to

tear into it without me?

If we both hunt, we both eat, got it?

After explaining common courtesy

in our partnership to Gobkichi,

I took a closer look at the horned rabbit

to see if that horn could be made into a weapon.

What did I just see?

Fine.

You're really impatient, you know that?

Thanks, Gobrou!

So good!

Seems like you should eat or cry.

Not both.

This horn is the stuff of legend!

Thank you.

There it goes again.

What goes?

The wind. Come on. Let's eat.

Escape.

Well, that explains it.

Absorption.

That's the name

of the extremely rare ESP ability

I was born with in my old world.

It was incredible.

If I needed a certain trait

to battle or survive,

all I had to do was consume something

that possessed those traits.

Iron, gold, poison, whatever I wanted.

It wasn't the only ability I had,

but unfortunately, it seems like any of the others

have been reset in this life.

You got it. Wow!

I'm not about to complain.

I feel very lucky that this one carried over.

Why don't you give it a try, Gobkichi?

There's one thing I've learned about this world:

There are always more monsters lurking,

with incredible and unpredictable powers.

Horn rabbits?

And you've both been eating them?

Amazing!

You're amazed by what we're eating?

Okay.

I'm Gobmi! And yeah, horn rabbits?

Just the other day someone was stabbed to death

by one of those!

You're Gobrou, right?

You're the most amazing one here!

I knew how cool and smart you were,

but you're also super strong!

Am I? Well, alright.

How 'bout me?

Average.

I'm killin' it.

Gobmi, was it?

Do you wanna go hunting with us tomorrow

and see us in action?

I do!

Unfortunately, it ended up raining.

We postponed our hunt with Gobmi until tomorrow.

So, today.

I'm gonna take a look at what we have in storage.

There's gotta be something

I can make a weapon out of.

This became one of the times

I can say I was dead wrong.

I also found a group of human women

being held captive,

and I'm pretty sure I can guess what for.

But I really don't wanna think about that.

Such determination in your eyes.

This sassy old-timer is Gobjii.

He took care of me after I reincarnated.

And belched up something like

'Gobrou' for my name.

He's the elder of this cave.

You know something, Gobrou,

I think you'll level up faster than expected.

'Levels?'

If you go like this, you should be able to see it.
