I Reincarnated as a Goblin and Decided That's the Kingdom's Problem
Renn died at twenty-nine falling down metro stairs — phone in hand, mid-chapter, reading about someone else's glorious reincarnation. The irony wasn't lost on him. Neither was the opportunity.
When the goddess offered him the standard hero package — human form, legendary skill, heroic destiny — Renn asked one question: could he choose his form?
She said yes.
He chose goblin.
Not by accident. Not by mistake. By the cold, deliberate logic of a man who understood one thing above all else: heroes have expectations, and expectations are just unpaid overtime with worse hours.
As a goblin, the bar was on the floor. Everything above floor level was personal profit.
What followed was not an epic tale of unlikely heroism. It was not a story of a man discovering his inner greatness through adversity.
It was the story of a goblin who knew exactly what kind of story he was in, refused to play his assigned role, solved every problem through the path of least effort, and left a trail of confused adventurers, one increasingly exasperated swordswoman, and a goddess who deeply regrets her paperwork policies.
The kingdom needed a hero.
It got Renn.
Close enough.
