The sun was warm on Lee Jun's skin as he stepped out of the hospital for the first time in three days.His body still ached in places, but compared to the state he was in after the battle with the Nyxwraith, this was nothing.The scent of disinfectant faded behind him, replaced by the crisp air of the outside world.
Waiting at the curb was Kang Minho, leaning casually against a taxi."You're finally out," Minho greeted with a grin."Goblin's Grove has been quiet… well, as quiet as it can be when twenty-three goblins are running around."
Lee Jun chuckled, shaking his head. "Only twenty-three now… and yet, I heard something about more joining us?"
"Yeah," Minho smirked. "You'll see when we get there."
Back at Goblin's Grove
The moment they arrived, Lee Jun was met with a sight he hadn't expected.The goblins were gathered in the central clearing, some standing solemnly while others placed small wooden carvings into a pile beside a pyre.
Godon stepped forward, his expression grim."Boss… while you were gone, we burned the bodies of those who fell in battle. They deserved better than to rot in the wild."
Lee Jun nodded slowly, feeling the weight in his chest."They fought bravely. We'll remember them."
As the last embers of the pyre faded, another group approached—goblins Lee Jun had never seen before.They were scrappy, wild-looking, but their eyes held something familiar: respect.
"They came after the battle," Moji explained. "They saw you fight… and they chose to follow."
Lee Jun opened his system interface, blinking at the notification:
Tamed Goblin Capacity has increased: 35 → 100Current Tamed Goblins: 23
A small smile tugged at his lips.More room. More potential.

But Lee Jun knew peace like this never lasted.And now, with his capacity increased and new resources in hand, he would be ready for whatever came next.
