Chapter 48-The Baby Goblins’ Punishment

Dodging left, leaping up, rolling —

Evan had survived so far by using every trick he could think of.

But now, he was reaching the limits of his stamina.

For a full ten minutes, the relentless, non-stop body slams from the baby goblins had continued.

And Evan realized something faintly:

’They’re completely toying with me...’

The baby goblins never attacked all at once.

As if they had made a pact, they deliberately took turns — one by one, striking him.

Treating him like a toy.

Evan felt furious at how pathetic his situation was —

but at the same time, there was a part of him that felt strangely relieved.

If they had all attacked at once, he would have been dead long ago.

The only reason he was still breathing —was because of their arrogance.

«K-Kuhuk...!»

But even that was ending now.

A glancing blow from a baby goblin — and Evan collapsed, critically wounded.

The baby goblin’s tiny, chubby hand now looked like the scythe of a grim reaper.

He had no strength left to move.

He had reached death’s doorstep.

And then—

A message appeared before his eyes.

[Quest failed.]

[You have failed to obtain the ’boarding ticket.’]

[You have been marked as a target by the ’Station Staff.’]

Even the system was handing down his death sentence now.

At that moment—

The baby goblin, almost regretfully, brushed off its hands and backed away.

Even though a perfect opportunity to flee was before him, Evan couldn’t move an inch.

Soon after—

A figure much larger than the baby goblins appeared —

an enormous goblin, like a giant wrapped in muscle.

Through his blurry vision, Evan stared up at it.

«...Horn?»

A single horn protruding from its forehead.

The creature grabbed Evan’s ankle — and started dragging him into the next carriage.

Pain wracked his entire body, but there was nothing he could do.

Consciousness flickered in and out several times.

And at some moment—

The pain disappeared.

Everything became still.

He came back to his senses only when a loud, clattering noise filled the surroundings.

Clang, clang!

Through his blurred vision, a grim sight came into view.

Kee-ee-ee-it!!

Dozens — maybe hundreds — of people, drooling, tied up together in a single space.

And Evan —was right in the middle of it.

One of them, staggering like a zombie, lowered its head to look at him.

Meeting its gaze, Evan felt his heart plummet.

Kee-ee-...

Eyes without focus.

Drool mixed with blood dripping from a mouth that belonged to a figure no bigger than a grade school child.

Their cries sounded monstrous — but no matter how he looked, they were still just children.

And they somehow felt... different from the survivors of Stoneveil city Station.

«...What the hell is this place?»

At the rearmost carriage of the ghost train —

in a storage-like space — the baby goblins were bouncing around.

After running wildly, the baby goblins now faced the door leading to the next carriage, grumbling in frustration.

One goblin, in a fit of anger, headbutted a pile of junk.

Garbage scattered everywhere, but their fury didn’t subside.

«Uuuu...!»

The reason for their rage was simple.

The prey they had barely managed to catch —

had been snatched away by a Smaug.

Was just having horns enough?

The Smaug, claiming the title of "Station Staff," had taken away the human they had carefully seasoned.

It was too unfair.

If the Smaug kept stealing every catch, how were the baby goblins supposed to grow up?

How could they ever become Smaugs themselves?

«Uuuu uuuu!!»

But the baby goblins understood their position.

Smaugs were elite among the goblins —

even among the Young Goblins, they were a rare selection.

A baby goblin could never dare defy them.

«Uuu! Uuuu!!»

Still, knowing it didn’t mean they could suppress their resentment.

The baby goblins ground their teeth in frustration, vowing they would get another chance.

Next time— they wouldn’t just toy around.

Forget the boarding tickets or anything else.

They would hunt properly — and devour.

Right.

They had gotten too excited, wasting time playing with the human.

They needed to reflect and learn — if they wanted to become true goblins worthy of respect.

«Uuu! Uuuu!!»

And—

The opportunity came sooner than expected.

As the door to the dungeon opened once again,

the baby goblins grinned widely.

Memories of playing with humans resurfaced,

making them almost forget their previous resolve.

Humans crying out in agony!

Soft skin splitting open to reveal bright red veins underneath —

a gourmet’s delight.

The sight of blood bursting out like fireworks,

spraying across their faces — it was an unbearable, thrilling pleasure.

Their mouths watered just imagining it.

But then—

The baby goblins shook their heads firmly.

This time, we won’t let it be taken.

Even if they played with the prey a little —

they would kill it quickly before anyone could steal it.

One loss to a Smaug was enough.

And then—

From the outside, new humans appeared.

The baby goblins smiled broadly.

Four of them, four delicious playthings.

The baby goblins didn’t even give the newcomers time to react.

First to hit, first to win.

Without hesitation — they all charged forward at once.

KWAANG!

«Uuu...?»

But something exploded right in front of them.

The charging baby goblins tilted their heads in confusion.

But — because of their momentum, they couldn’t stop themselves.

Besides— they fully believed in their victory.

After all — it had always been like that.

They thought it would be the same this time too.

But—

«Uuuu!!»

As they reached their target, a fist came flying toward them.

The leading baby goblin slammed forward with all its strength —

but it was the goblin’s own body that was sent flying.

It smashed into the wall, then crumpled onto the floor, trembling —

and went limp.

«Uuu!!»

The baby goblins seethed with rage.

How dare mere humans...!

The furious baby goblins launched another frenzied charge.

An unrestrained series of body slams followed, wave after wave.

But this time— a huge impact enveloped them.

BANG! freeweɓnovel.cøm

With a deafening boom, another baby goblin was thrown backward.

Similar scenes unfolded all across the carriage.

«Uuu...? Uuu?!»

Only then did the baby goblins start to realize —

that something was going very, very wrong.
