Chapter 2 Happy system

  Chapter 2: HAPPY SYSTEM

  Scene begins – Before MDHK wakes up

  Inside the cave, the goblin elders sit in a circle, whispering urgently.

  Elder 1: “There’s no hope left. Those who survived were taken by the humans. The leaders… they’re all gone.”

  Elder 2: “We searched the ruins. Elder Shuri is missing.”

  Elder 3: “Then the Young Master must rise. He’s the last of the leader’s bloodline.”

  Elder 4: “But he hasn’t woken in hours. He may still be in shock.”

  Elder 1: “We wait one more hour. If he doesn’t wake, we choose a new leader from among the youth.”

  Elder 2 (grim): “The elder’s seat cannot remain empty. The Supreme One will curse us all.”

  Suddenly, thunder roars. The cave shakes.

  All Elders (terrified): “Oh Supreme One! Please calm your wrath! We will choose a leader!”

  Elder 3: “Someone, check on the Young Master!”

  Several goblins rush down the tunnel.

  Villager: “Young Master!”

  They stop. He’s already standing — silent, calm, eyes sharp.

  Unknown to them, a black screen with a creepy smile floats in front of MDHK — visible only to him.

  MDHK (firmly): “Silence.”

  The villagers step back. The elders arrive and kneel.

  Elder 1: “Please, become our leader. Save us.”

  [MDHK’s Thoughts]

  So… these are the four elders: Sun, Moon, Darkness, and Lightness — brothers, loyal to my father.

  And there are my friends… Gobo, 18. The other, my age — 15. Like me, he has no name yet. Names are given at 15 by the village leader.

  Today was supposed to be our naming ceremony.

  Now, I must lead.

  Only 20 goblins remain:

  4 elders

  5 adult males

  5 females

  3 young goblins

  3 children

  Aging here is different.

  From birth to 15: 1 month = 1 Earth year

  15 to 30: 6 months = 1 Earth year

  30 to 50: normal aging

  After 50: every year feels like five

  ---

  MDHK (clears throat): “I will become leader. But I won’t follow the old rules. Everything must change.”

  “There are only two things I ask for: loyalty… and obedience.”

  Silence. Then—

  Elder Moon (angrily): “How dare you reject our laws! If you won’t follow tradition, step down!”

  MDHK (calm, cold): “So you oppose me, Elder Moon?”

  He steps forward.

  MDHK: “Those who support me, come to my side. Those who oppose — stand with the elders.”

  He scans the room.

  MDHK: “If I become leader, humans will never see us as weak again. They think monsters are slaves — playthings. But that ends now.”

  MDHK’s thoughts:

  This is the promise I made… to the soul of this body.

  ---

  Gobo steps forward, tears in his eyes. Others follow.

  Gobo:

  “My parents died protecting me. My brother… taken by humans.

  If I die, let it be like a warrior — not a coward.”

  “All of us here lost someone. We believe in you, Young Master.

  We greet you as our leader.”

  The others join. Even the children.

  Only three elders remain.

  Elder: “We will follow the people’s will. You are our leader.”

  Everyone bows deeply.

  All (shouting):

  “We greet our new leader! Teach those humans what pain truly means!”

  [Flashback – Inside MDHK’s Mind]

  A black screen appears before him, smiling eerily. At first, he’s frozen. Then slowly, he touches it.

  MDHK smirks, looking up.

  MDHK:

  “So this is your game?

  Don’t worry — one day, I’ll come for you.”

  Suddenly, blackout. A young goblin soul appears.

  Goblin Soul (softly):

  “If you’re using my body… make them pay.

  Make them pay for everything they did to me…”

  It fades away into the dark.
