Summary
Redefining the Space Race
All Chris ever wanted was to walk on the moon. Strong, smart, and born in Ohio, he was a shoe-in for the astronaut program. Even losing his legs in an accident didn’t slow him down for long when the private space company NuEarth needed a publicity win. But when the rocket on his first moon mission explodes during launch? Well, that’s even harder to walk off than a double amputation. Or, at least, it should have been.
Chris finds himself waking up in a new world with a mysterious message floating in front of his face: He’s been granted a new life as a goblin king, with the ability to command others of his kind. Goblins are the weakest creatures, always stuck at level 1 and incapable even of communication beyond squawks and physical assault. but their numbers are legion and their loyalty to their new monarch is absolute. And this new world? Well, it’s got a moon, too. A big one, with forests and seas. And Chris sees no reason why reincarnation should delay his plans for long. From stone age to space flight, it’s time to speed-run the entirety of human civilization – goblin-style.
Armed with an expanding army of fanatical followers and a dubious, self-propagating ‘Goblin Tech Tree’ managed by the resident system, he’ll stop at nothing to jump-start the Apollo program and reach his goal. But he was brought here for a reason, and not everyone is content to leave the new king to his own devices. Hunters, predators, and even humans consider goblins to be pests at best, if not a source of sustenance or dubious medicinal practices. Chris will have to keep his tribe alive long enough to grow if he hopes to complete his derailed moon mission and solve the mystery of his new life in this new world.
What to expect:
A goblin main character – unable to level up, but also unable to die unless he’s the last goblin in his kingdom. His tribe is both his strength and his health pool while the system governing the world seems to have its own motivations.
Exploration, action, and problem solving – an engineer king armed with his wits and a loyal labor pool that’s never heard the term ‘workplace safety’
Empire building – Starting from rock bottom with a few rowdy goblins, the only places to go are up – or extinct. The goblin king accesses additional benefits the larger his tribe grows, including variant goblin minions specialized in new and interesting ways.
