Chapter 19: The Struggle Between Two Heads

I mean... I shouldn't be weird. She's my wife, after all.

But the next moment, his thoughts changed.

Hell no! She's a monster! A tall, curvy, beautiful, strong monster—what am I even thinking!?

The goblin woman tilted her head slightly, wondering what was going on inside her mate's head. YuWon noticed her looking at him and cleared his throat, gathering his thoughts.

But as he did that, he realized something. Despite being her husband, he didn't even know the woman's name, and wondered if asking her now would be awkward.

Forget that. It'll be more awkward to ask for her help if I don't even know her name.

YuWon sighed, breaking the silence, and asked, "What should I call you? Like, do you have a name or something?"

"Name?" she repeated, as if the concept was foreign to her. "I don't have one."

"Wait... you don't have a name?" YuWon asked, surprised. "Then how do you communicate with your kind?"

"I... can't," she shook her head and her white hair swayed along. "Only my father could understand me and he didn't give me a name. I was just 'daughter', nothing more."

YuWon scratched his head, feeling awkward. He hadn't expected this. But then again, it was foolish of him to hold monsters in the same regard as humans, even though they were the same to him.

Besides, it gave YuWon the opportunity to get closer to her. After all, if he named her, then it would make the goblin feel closer to him and then they could bang—hang! Hang around and sleep—live! Live together.

"Well, you should have a name," he said, trying to sound casual.

He looked at her as he tried to think of something, anything, to call her.

"How about... Gina?" he said lazily, the first name that popped into his head.

The name didn't have any significance at all, other than that YuWon just so happened to combine G for goblin with the name of his favorite idol. Despite his laziness, Gina's eyes lit up when she heard the name.

"Gina," she repeated, as if savoring its sound. "I like it. I'll cherish it forever."

YuWon couldn't help but feel guilty watching her smile. He hadn't put much thought into the name, but it seemed to mean a lot to her.

"Come, I'll show you." Gina gestured for him to come closer.

YuWon hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward. Gina kneeled by the remains of the altar and revealed a hidden keyhole underneath the broken stone. YuWon raised an eyebrow, not expecting the treasure to be hiding under the altar.

"Go ahead," Gina said, pointing at the keyhole.

YuWon nodded and carefully inserted the key into the keyhole. For a moment, nothing happened. But then an orb of light appeared before him, floating in the air.

On Gina's insistence, he touched the orb, and a notification appeared before him.

[You have found the Hobgoblin's hidden cache!]

[The Awakener will receive a class-specific item as a reward for their feat.]

A moment later, the orb of light turned into a backpack. YuWon grabbed it and the next moment it disappeared and a strange swirling tattoo appeared on his left palm.

[You have received the Phantom Bag.]

[Grade: Unique.]

[Description: The Phantom Bag is a magical tattoo on the holder's arm. Despite its appearance, it is a storage space for carrying many items without a physical bag.

To access the items, the Awakener needs to touch the tattoo and think about what they want to retrieve or store. The item will appear in their hand or disappear into the tattoo.]

[Special skill: The Phantom bag isn't affected by respawning effects. The items once stored inside, will be there even after the Awakener respawns.]

YuWon couldn't believe his eyes. Phantom Bag was invaluable for him, especially considering how many times he had already died and respawned.

"This is perfect!"

YuWon turned to share the joy with Gina, only to be shocked. Gina was undoing her clothes to untie the laces and straps.

Before YuWon could do anything, her top fell off her shoulders and so did his mouth as he blankly stared at her, or specifically, her breasts as one word echoed in his mind...

Motorboat.
