[Pine Forest, 1st Floor, Isaac’s Dungeon]

Amongst the rocks and tall trees, there were small tents made of animal skins. A group of human baby-sized monsters, with green skin, seemed to be in action. Some were mixing some ingredients, some were turning stones into spears, some were breastfeeding.

It was a goblin tribal camp.

In the midst of their busyness, suddenly the figure of a white-haired man appeared from the empty air. The goblins quickly stopped their activity. They knelt down to the man.

The elder of the goblin, who had pale green skin and a white beard, knelt in the front row. The creature was holding a stick with a trembling body.

“Dungeon Master, welcome to our small camp.”

In unison, the goblins greeted Isaac.

Before Isaac left for the human world, there was one trivial thing he needed to do.

“How many men do you have in your camp?” Isaac asked without beating around the bush.

Oga stroked its white beard. “There are about fifty. Fifteen of them are women and children.”

“Alright, I will increase the number of goblins in your camp.”

“Thank you, my Lord.”

“In exchange, I want you to produce potions and ether every day.”

The old goblin was taken aback after hearing its master’s order.

Just like the dwarves who were good at making weapons and equipment, there were monsters that had the ability to produce potions.

Isaac had ordered them to produce potions to use as ‘item drops’. If he constantly bought the item at the ‘shop’, it would only deplete his finances, so he chose to set up a lab.

“But, Lord, there is no alchemist in our tribe. We can’t help you.”

“You don’t have to worry about that. Bring here the member of your group that you think is the smartest,” Isaac replied in a low, cold tone.

“Yes, my Lord.”

Oga called some of its men. Then, twenty goblins knelt before Isaac. They fearfully faced the Dungeon Master, their bodies trembling.

“They are the smartest goblins of my group, My Lord.”

Isaac observed the twenty goblins.

“You guys are the luckiest goblins.”

He then opened the ‘shop’ and pressed the ‘upgrade’ option. He would raise the class of the goblins.

[Upgrade x20 monster ‘Goblin (F)?]

[Material : 0]

[Percentage of success : 0.00%]

Since goblins were monsters, the materials sacrificed must be monsters too. Isaac sacrificed 100 slimes and 50 horned mice.

[Material : 150]

[Percentage of success : 80%]

‘I think this is enough.’

[Upgrading…]

Suddenly, the twenty goblins emitted a bright blue light. They looked surprised by what had happened, so did Oga and the other goblins.

Ding!

[Upgrade successful!]

[Nineteen goblins upgraded to ‘Goblin Alchemist (E)’]

[A goblin upgraded to ‘Goblin Shaman (D)’]

After a notification buzzed in Isaac’s head, light enveloped the eight goblins’ bodies disappeared. Their appearance changed drastically. The goblins looked at themselves with flabbergasted facial expressions.

“Wow…”

They were no longer wearing loincloths. The clothes were made of leather. One of them was dressed in a sheepskin coat and had a buffalo skull on its head like a crown.

“A Goblin Shaman, huh? Not a bad thing,” Isaac muttered with a grin. He didn’t expect to get such a rare monster.

Every upgraded monster would definitely go up in class and level. However, there were certain types of monsters or certain races that would get special jobs when they were upgraded.

Among them were goblins.

The specialization jobs they could get depend on the stats they had. If the ‘strength’ stat tended to be high, it was likely to get a warrior or barbaric job. If the ‘magic’ stat tended to be high, it was likely to become a mage, shaman, or alchemist.

Goblins were creatures at the bottom of the food chain. However, the weak creature was the most versatile monster. They had stats that tended to be balanced, allowing them to get a variety of jobs when they were upgraded.

That was why Isaac chose a goblin for this task.

Of course, the goblins wouldn’t be as skilled as other higher-class monsters. They wouldn’t be able to forge as well as the dwarves and did alchemy as well as the elves.

“Thank you for your blessing, Lord!”

The goblins began to worship Isaac.

Isaac smiled at their new status. However, he was not done yet. He opened the ‘shop’ again.

[You bought x100 monster ‘Goblin (F’)]

After that, he quickly summoned them. Not long after, a bright blue light appeared, then slowly dimmed and disappeared completely. A hundred goblins stood before Isaac.

‘I’ve already spent 15000 zenny on upgrading and buying new goblins.’

Once again, the goblins stared at their master in admiration.

“Now listen to me carefully,” Isaac ordered.

The green monsters began to put on serious faces. They looked at their master attentively.

“I want you to make me as many potions and ether as possible. Every week, I want you to produce 70 potions and 30 ether. I don’t want to hear excuses for being late and lacking. Do you get it?”

“Yes, Lord,” the goblin alchemists replied in unison.

“Good.” Isaac’s attention returned to Oga. “Pippi will come here every week to pick it up. While the other goblins focus on gathering ingredients for potions and guarding the camp. You don’t need to hunt humans.”

“Yes, my Lord.” Oga, the elder of the goblin, lowered its head, and it accepted the task with great honor.

The goblin shaman asked Isaac.

“My Lord, is my duty the same as the others?”

An answer didn’t come right away. Isaac stroked his chin, thinking about what kind of task the monster would be suitable for.

Goblin shaman could use low-level magic, making use of them for physical work like gathering materials and making the potions was a shame.

Then, Isaac remembered that the goblin shaman had useful magic in helping to increase the population.

“I want you to visit other races of monsters that have intelligence; such as orcs and kobolds. I want you to cast fertility magic on old female monsters so they can give birth again. If they refuse, say my name.”

“Yes, my lord!” the goblin shaman replied obediently.

After that, Isaac didn’t say much. He quickly left the camp. The goblins were stunned as they watched their master turning into shards of light and disappeared before their eyes.

Bang!

Oga stomped its wand on the ground. Then, all attention turned to the elder of the goblin.

“Do you hear what the Dungeon Master has said? We have a week to produce 70 potions and 30 ether. Now it’s time for us to get to work!”

“Yes!!!”

Even though Oga was very old and the weakest among them, its voice was loud.The goblins quickly got to work.
