When they arrive in the goblin village, a warm welcoming party already prepared to greet them. Andrew becomes the highlight of the party. It seems goblin chief send a goblin to return earlier to prepare the party.

When the goblins that not following the chief to the forest saw the size of the bear that they manage to pull to the village, sounds of admiration echoed throughout the village. Some female goblins, which quite a few in there, start to approach Andrew and try to get his attention. This makes Andrew feel awkward and doesn't know how to react. Fortunately, the goblin chief pulls him to the platform and announced his merit today.

"To my fellow's goblin tribes, today is a happy day. As you see, there's a bear there, a bear that usually we feared because we absolutely will die once we meet him in close distance. If there's a bear roaming in the forest, we will force to avoid that forest. Today, that danger is no longer threatening us in the forest. He's dead! Yes, as you see him laying there in front of us in the dead state. We are no longer threatening with his existence in the forest. And the one, who kills him, is nothing else than our young heroes here….."

"Little one, you are a hero now, you should have a name, think something good for your name, and fast"

Goblin chief's whispering to Andrew to stand beside him, asking a name.

"My name is Blake, chief"

Andrew's whisper his name to goblin chief

Andrew previous life habit that always mentions his last name first seems still carried here.

"Brakke? Good name, it sounds like brave"

Goblin chief whispering back to Andrew then announce that name to the goblin folks

"The one who kills the bear is a young hero here, with name Brakke. Give loud applause for him!"

A loud clapping sound can be heard in the village. Andrew actually wants to correct it but the goblin chief already announces it. There's no way for him to correct it anymore. All he can to do is cursing the hearing sense of the goblin chief. Andrew has to raise and wave his hand to respond to this applause.

"Hero Brakke!! Hero Brakke!!" (common goblins)

"Leader Brakke!! Leader Brakke!!" (His goblin group members)

"Handsome hero Brakke!! let me carry your offspring" (female goblin)

For the last cheers, Andrew only can smile wryly. He doesn't know how handsome standard in this goblin village. Andrew himself always feels his face is too scary, how come he feels handsome with this face?

The goblin chief raises his hand and the applause and cheering sounds are receding. After the situation is calm, the goblin chief continues his speech.

"It's been a long time since our village has no hero among us. A goblin with courage, brave heart, fearless against the strong enemy. We might be the weakest among other creatures, but I don't want to be always on the bottom of the creature ladder. I'm expecting more goblin can come with merit like our young hero Brakke here. And when that time comes, we, the goblin tribe, will not be underestimated again by other creatures!"

"Long live chief Burak!! Long live hero Brakke!!"

A loud cheering voice resounds again in the village. Andrew just knows right now, that the goblin chief's name is Burak. Well, no one ever asks his name and he never mentions his name and mostly goblin people always call him chief.

"Tonight we will hold a party with bear meat as the food. After we eating his meat tonight, may the strength of the bear can be ours. And for this young hero Brakke here, I decided to make him as my captain and leader for his generation in this village"

"Long live captain Brakke!!"

All goblins that leave the cave with him hail Andrew as their new leader. It's a sudden promotion for Andrew after appointed as group leader. Now, he's the leader of the young gobbling in his peerage. This is quite a burden for Andrew who never leads so many people at once time. All he ever experienced is leading a small team to research purpose in the forest, not lead a bunch of goblins like this.

Chief Burak continue his speech

"And for a hero, he deserves a good weapon to accompany him. The reward for his courage in defeating this bear is in this box"

A goblin comes from behind carrying a box in his hand. He handed the box to chief Burak which later give that box to Andrew.

"Young hero, this is your reward, opens it and shows it to the folks. Make them know that is yours from now on"

Andrew receives the box and opens it. Inside the box, there's a short sword lying in there. It's a real sword and in good condition. Not a rusty and chipped sword that mostly used by those a.d.u.l.t goblins in the village. Andrew takes the sword from the box, hold the hilt tightly and raise the sword highly.

"Huurraaahhhh!! Huurraaahhhh!! Huurraaahhhh!!"

All goblins in there are hailing Andrew and his new sword. For goblin people, a good sword is like a treasure since they don't know how to smelt and smith iron to make a weapon. Most weapons in the village procured from scavenging in the remains of the battlefield.
