“Where am I…?”
Lai En, realizing he was conscious, panicked.
“I didn’t fail to revive, did I!”
“No, if I failed to revive, why am I still conscious?”
[You open your eyes and find yourself sitting on a very high platform]
[Looking down, a bunch of green dots are neatly arranged]
[You see some familiar faces]
[There are your clansmen and the chieftain. They all look at you with obedient eyes]
[Jiazi, who made a bet with Zagu, is also there. He is dressed neatly, and merchant goblins dressed like him form their own group]
[You don’t understand. Then you turn around and see Xilika. She stands beside you, emitting a dazzling light]
[She speaks.]
“You’re awake, Lai En.”
“What is this?”
[You are confused by everything before you]
[Xilika chuckles softly and looks at you with a gentle gaze]
“I thought if you became the Goblin King, you would be very happy, so I had them honor you as the Goblin King.”
“Didn’t I die?”
“You were about to die, but I used the secret art of the Moon God to let you live a little longer.”
[Xilika has apparently accepted your death]
“So you mean… you wanted me to fulfill my dream?”
“Yes.”
[You look up. Countless goblins are prostrate at your feet, waiting for you to speak]
[Xilika had been watching you fight on the battlefield every day; she must have misunderstood your intentions]
[You think it over, then speak]
“From now on, Zagu’s clan will rule the underground kingdom on my behalf.”
[The goblins don’t fear you because of Xilika]
[You participated in the battle that killed Zagugur and played a major role]
“Perceptive Lai En” is your current title.
[You were able to see through Zagugur’s illusions, causing countless goblins to admire you]
[When everyone heard your words, they began to envy Zagu’s clan]
[The current chieftain of the Zagu clan is also very grateful for Zagu’s foresight]
[He says,]
“We thank our king for bestowing this grace. The Zagu clan will honor you as the true king for generations!”
[The Zagu clansmen also kneel together, bowing their heads to you]
[You are very satisfied with their performance]
[You say,]
“As expected of Zagu’s clan. I believe you can make the underground kingdom prosperous.”
[The goblins find your words strange, but they also feel you make a lot of sense]
[After all, the previous king only said things like, “You must all obey me, or I’ll kill you all.”]
[You ask,]
“Xilika, what about those necromancers?”
[She replies,]
“I’ve killed them all. The secret cult has temporarily lost the ability to continue their plans.”
[You say,]
“Then you…”
[You have noticed that your life force is continuously draining]
[She says,]
“I am the saintess of the Silent Moon Church.”
Xilika said with a smile.
[You say,]
“Very good…”
[Seeing that Xilika has chosen her path, you are finally relieved]
[The scene before you gradually blurs. You know it’s truly the end]
[After your death, Xilika places your remains in the holy tomb beneath the Silent Moon Church]
[She also becomes the saintess again in the Silent Moon Church, guarding this secret known only to some goblins]
[Both the goblins and the cult suffered heavy losses, creating a stalemate with the Silent Moon Kingdom, except this time Xilika is an additional variable]
[Xilika also holds a pivotal position in the Silent Moon Kingdom]
[However, these no longer mean anything to you]
……
Lai En let out a long sigh. This simulation really took quite a long time.
Fortunately, the rewards must be rich enough. Even just the various talents awakened during the simulation were quite a harvest.
[Simulation Complete]
[Level at simulation end: LV.19 Goblin Leader]
[Achievements Unlocked: Giant Wolf Killer, Rich Goblin, Lord of the Saintess, Confronting the Darkness, A Night When Moonlight Gently Falls, Kingslayer, Heretics Must Die, Short-lived King]
[You once fought in the arena, once swung your sword before the necromancers’ flesh golems. You possessed wealth that other goblins could never have in a lifetime, and a slave as noble as a saintess. You glimpsed a corner of the darkness, but not its full picture. Even though you destroyed most of the dark cult… do you really understand the secrets behind them?]
[You followed human morality and did not violate the innocent girl because of your status. She responded to your kindness with sincerity. You brought long-lost warmth to her cold, moonlit world.]
[Zagugur’s death is necessarily connected to you. You replaced him as the new ruler of the underground kingdom, though only for a few short hours.]
[Overall Score: A+]

As the rating ended, a thrilling sensation made Lai En’s whole body feel refreshing.

Lai En took stock of his gains, overjoyed inside.
This was his longest crossing. Not only did he win over Xilika, but he also briefly became the Goblin King.
However, while counting his gains, Lai En also realized that he was still very weak.
The saintess, the Goblin Kingdom, the dark cult…
There are far too many dangers in this other world. One slight misstep and you’ll fall into a trap and die without a burial place.
“Isn’t this the other world I wanted?!”
There was no fear in Lai En’s heart; instead, he was already looking forward to the next simulation.
“No time to waste. I must start the next round immediately!”
Many people lose the desire to start a game in the lobby. Lai En knew this well.
Rather than waiting to prepare, it’s better to act quickly.
It would be false to say Lai En had no inner conflict.
He was somewhat worried about his first woman, Xilika.
But only by improving his strength could he possibly help her, who might be living in this other world, after being born.
Moreover, since he had already come to this dog-eat-dog other world, Lai En felt he should enjoy life in this world more fully.
[Simulation Start]
[Selecting crossing target…]
[Success!]
[Crossed race: Human LV.1]
[The human race is weak but has infinite miracles. Their abilities, though not outstanding, are extremely balanced.]
“Finally, finally! This is the big guarantee!”
Looking at the lovely word “human,” this was the first time Lai En was so grateful to be born human.
