After being teleported to the 'Old Soul Ghost Forest', child saw that everything around him was way bigger than him.
His sparkling eyes were filled with curiosity. Forgetting the events that happened to him, he started crawling around, touching here and there, eating sand and leaves.
He continued crawling until he heard strange sounds.
Hearing noises coming from behind the bushes, he went inside the bushes and came out on the other side.
His eyes widened.
Many Regoblins were casually hunting, preying on their food(the horned rabbits).
****
Regoblins, also known as an intelligent species of goblins, have a similar structure to normal goblins. They have red ears, small and big red marks on their backs.
Horned rabbits have a big horn in front of their heads; the horn also contains poison, and they are small in size, easy to kill with minimal effort, and tasty, making them perfect prey.

Among them, there was an odd one known as Rakan. He was sleeping in a tree, watching all his comrades hunting.
Rakan, being their team leader, was strong, dominant, and the chief's brother's son, making him untouchable.
He was a role model for many younglings.
A rock fell on him from the sky.
"Argh, stupid lizard! Go play somewhere else!" With a strong, deep voice, he yelled, raising his arm to block the sun's rays as he tried to glance at the sky.
Up there, two dragons were playing with each other. The dragons were young, with playful natures, not giving much attention to their surroundings.
Rakan, seeing that the dragons weren't paying him any attention, took a spear in his hand.
"Guys, today we will be having a feast of dragon meat!" He stood up and, with all his might, threw the spear at them.
The spear missed the dragons by a small margin, and the dragons fled away after noticing him.
"Next time I see you, you are definitely going to be in my stomach!" he shouted with a wide smile on his face.
"Haha, now that I'm awake, let's see how much these guys have hunted!" While glancing around, he saw a small child crawling toward them near the bushes.
Quickly jumping from the tree, he leaped toward the bushes.
Steps...
After appearing in front of the child, he spoke.
"O little one, where are your parents? Did they abandon you?" He turned his head left and right, seeing no one nearby.
"Aba, abba ba!" With his sparkling brown eyes and black hair, he showed signs of wanting a hug.
"Do you want me to hold you?" With his light blue eyes and dark green hair, well-built muscles, he scratched his head.
The child nodded his head up and down.
Rakan then took the child in his hands. "This thing looks cute. Which species does he belong to? Umm..." He scratched his head again.
Seeing no other choice, he called his comrades.
"Hey guys, come over here!" he waved.
Steps, steps, steps.
After a few seconds, all his comrades gathered around him.
Suddenly, the wind picked up, blowing more fiercely, and there was sudden tension in the air.
Seeing the child in Rakan's hands, none of them spoke a single word, waiting for him to speak.
Rakan's team consisted of 2 adults and 3 young Regoblins, 2 females and 3 males.
A few minutes had passed; seeing Rakan quiet, one adult Regoblin(f) broke the silence and stated,
"Sigh, you called us here just to remain silent? It's already getting dark; we have to leave now. Also, don't tell me you're thinking of adopting that child as a pet!" While glancing at the child, she was not weaker than Rakan, with her well-built body and muscles almost tearing her clothes.
"Don't you feel pity for him? Look at his red, soft cheeks. I can't leave him here alone!" While in Rakan's mind, 'Tsk, how can I leave such a thing here? What if this is a new species? When I tell the chief I've discovered this, he will definitely reward me.'
"Trying to show pity? If there was someone other than you, I would have fallen for that!" With a light voice, another regoblin(m) with his small body spoke.
"Rakan, see even Gan knows how your personality is. Now leave that thing behind; let's go back!"
"I will be taking this thing back home. It doesn't matter if you guys don't want it; I was just asking for your opinion, hoping to get some useful plans," Rakan said while packing his spear.
"Tsk, why do I even expect anything from these stupid comrades?" With an annoyed look on his face, he hurried towards home.
Seeing Rakan leave in a hurry,
"See, he doesn't even care about our opinion, and the chief always puts us with him," she said, her face flushed,eyes narrow,with quiet and hurting voice.
"There's nothing we can do. He has power; you heard his rumors."
"Sis, do you still believe in those rumors? They are spread just for his reputation. Don't believe them; there's no way a guy like him killed 100 dragons on his own," she said while tapping her fingers on a tree.
"Of course, I don't believe that rumor, but he actually killed the whole ogre tribe. You haven't seen his face when he was massacring them," a chill ran down her spine as she imagined those scenes.
While the two of them were chatting, the other three were packing up all their belongings.
"Look, the brothers are done—way to go home!" After she clapped her hands together, took big jumps while going.
With that, all five of them swiftly started their way home.
At the entrance, a giant signboard consisting of the tribe's name with six mid-sized wooden houses built in a straight line, and in the middle, a carefully crafted big wooden house of the chief was always waiting to welcome the visitors.
Rakan was at the entrance, waiting for the chief to give permission. The child on his back was surprisingly quiet; it was like his instincts were telling him not to scream.
An old man was coming towards Rakan, slowly taking his sweet time.
"Old man! Speed up!" he shouted, gritting his teeth and rubbing his hands.
The old man stopped for a moment and then continued his march.
"Sigh, it's always like this. Stopppp ignoorrrrring meeee, you stupiddddd old fartttt!"
Then Rakan stayed in that place for another half hour.
