Beastmen

Beastmens are used to be called demi-humans, but as they had more intelligence from the demi-humans such as goblins and orcs, they referred themselves as beastmen.

Their appearance that similar to beasts with a human-like figure made the term of beastmen. Beastmens divide themselves with clans, there are lion clans, tiger clans, snake clans, bird clans, ox clans, wolf clans, etc.

Beastmen could be easily found at mercenary guild and adventurer guilds after the war with the demons, beastmens, and humans join hands and made a great bond.

But as time passes, the bond follows to rust.

“Tarot. Tarot kingdom,” Oz said coolly.

“Um.. what?” Aegir asked, confirming what Oz had just said.

“I said, we’ll not call ourselves a tribe anymore, but a kingdom, Tarot kingdom,” Oz said indifferently.

“A Kingdom?? We’re hardly called a town!!!” Aegir refute.

“Calm down Aegir, I haven’t finished my suggestions,” Said Oz.

“As we just heard, the demons are back in action, we don’t know when and where will they attack next, there will be a lot of victims caused by them.”

“Think, just think, what will the small tribes do when they got attacked by the demons?”

“Will they fight back and win?”

“Or will the fight and lost?”

“Or will they run and seek refuge?”

“But if they knew there is this growing kingdom, all of them will come to seek refuge and join us!” Explained Oz with brimming eyes.

All the executives are astonished by Oz’s explanation.

“Great suggestion ren!”

“Nice Idea!”

“More soldiers for me!”

But they haven’t realized the biggest problem with the suggestion.

“Wait a minute,” Magra suddenly cut.

“If we’re going to be a kingdom. Who’ll be the king?”

All the executives start to chatter with one and another once again.

“Let’s not think too much about it, let’s just vote about who will you pick as the king,” Aegir suggested.

“That’s nice.”

“Okay then.”

“It’s good then, we’ll start by stating the name, if you vote for the person who I call, raise your hand. Understand?”

“”Understood!”” All of them answered.

“Okay then, we start from…. Fedra!”

No one raised their hand.

“Ibra!”

No one raised their hand.

“Brad!”

No one raised their hand.

“Aegir!”

No one raised their hand.

Seeing no one raised their hand for Aegir makes Oz get a cold sweat at his back.

(Oh crap, if they chose me as the king what the hell should I do!?)

“Magra!”

No one raised their hand again.

“Gurolf!”

No one raised their hand.

Aegir smirked.

“And lastly, Ren!”

All of the executives raised their hands at the same time.

(Crap!)

“Then it’s fixed, the king of our kingdom will be our hero, Re-“

“Wait a minute!!!” Oz cut, slightly panicking.

“I-I’m a newcomer, I can’t be the king!” Oz refute.

“We all welcome you Ren, and most of all, you’re our hero.” Aegir tried to convince Oz.

“But I-“

“No buts Ren, we all have voted you, we believe you and all of us trusted you, and the most clever and powerful person in this place. We will always support you even if you become our king.” Cut Aegir.

“But I’ve said to you before that I want to go out and explore the world.” Said Oz saving himself.

“Yes I remember, you could always go whenever you want, we will carry the tasks for you and take care of the kingdom while you’re gone, and our kingdom is still in progress to be called a kingdom. so you could go adventuring anytime you like.” Aegir explained.

Oz got slightly speechless by the statement, but he can’t take the position no matter how much they trusted him. Because he’s still covering the biggest secret from them until now!

(But I’m a freaking damn human!!)

“Okay, okay, I’ll be the king, if you accept my true form,” Oz said after making a firm decision in his heart.

(Will they accept me? or will they judge me as a liar?)

“True form?” Aegir asked confirmation.

“Goblin card, unequip..” Oz silently whispers to himself.

*Whooosh*

The room suddenly got enveloped by a cloud of thick smoke.

When the smoke starts to disappear, a hazy figure of a human could be seen by all of the executives.

“This is my real form.”

“I actually not a goblin.”

“But a human.”

A brown-haired muscular figure of a human with a height of 170 cm could be seen by all of the executives. The figure’s face is brimming with youth explaining that the figure is still young.

!!!????

(Wait a minute? my body suddenly got this muscular, what’s happening?)

(Okay let’s put that mystery aside)

“This is the form that I’ve been hiding from all of you, It’s all your decision whether to hate me or not because it’s indeed the fact that I had lied to all of you.” Said Oz while keeping his head downwards.

No one said a thing after seeing Oz human form, including the usually talking Aegir.

“This…”
