This was power with teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How do you feel?\" I asked, keeping my voice steady despite the weight sitting in the air between us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Narg lifted his head slowly, and the reverence in his eyes was unmistakable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I feel great, Chief. Strong and powerful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he bowed his head again, deeper this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for entrusting me with such a powerful skill,\" Narg said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I nodded, stepping closer until I stood right in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weight of his aura pressed subtly against my skin, not painfully, but enough to remind me that this wasn't the same Narg from before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was changing and growing into something far more formidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm about to make you even stronger, Narg,\" I said quietly. \"To give you a new skill that will take you to a different height entirely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I crouched down so I was level with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I'm worried whether you're strong enough to receive it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skill I had in mind wasn't simply powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the most potent ability in my entire arsenal — one of the Chosen-tier skill lines I had inherited from the strongest chosen I had faced so far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't something any goblin could handle casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that was what worried me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether Narg could assimilate it safely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or whether the sheer force of it would crush him from the inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Narg raised his head slowly and met my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze was steady, unwavering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I cannot know whether or not I am worthy to receive it,\" Narg continued, voice steady and unwavering. \"But if my life is what worries you, then I ask you not to carry that fear. I would do anything to become a knife you can wield. Anything to help the clan rise to greater heights… even if it means sacrificing myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted his chin, resolve tightening his features.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If my strength isn't enough, then I'll make up for it with will. No one in the clan has as much will as I do to grow stronger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bold claim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But not an empty one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Narg had shown me just how eager he was to rise — to step into a role far beyond what any normal goblin would ever dare dream of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still… saying no one had more will?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could think of two challengers off the top of my head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zarah, who absorbed two skill lines like it was nothing — eyes sharp, heart steady, posture regal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And myself, because I didn't crawl through death and rebirth to watch others outpace me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either way, Narg's resolve and determination weren't things I could ignore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those were the very traits that made me want to entrust him with this skill line in the first place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, I made up my mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll be depending on you a lot,\" I said quietly, placing a firm hand on his shoulder before rising to my feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded once, deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will not fail you, Chief. Nor the clan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conviction in his voice was absolute — heavy enough to feel like a vow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before I could respond, a familiar sound chimed in my ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another notification floated before my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Congratulations! You've successfully raised the loyalty stats of five of your goblins.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Get ten goblins to 100% loyalty to receive a reward.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Number of goblins with 100% loyalty: 5\u002F10]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? A mini task?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I blinked, genuinely surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hadn't expected loyalty to trigger any mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, missions were always welcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They meant progress, structure, and rewards… three things I'd never complain about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What actually surprised me more was realizing I apparently had five goblins sitting at complete loyalty already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I remembered correctly, only Zarah had been at one hundred percent before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Narg had just joined her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That left three others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My first guess was Dribb. The idiot would probably follow me off a cliff if I told him to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gobbo too — steady, dependable, and earnest to a fault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the last one…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Flogga?\" I muttered under my breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wouldn't have put her on the list before. She was sharp-tongued, stubborn, and more dangerous than she looked. Loyalty didn't seem like something she offered casually to anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she had softened lately — subtly, but enough for me to notice. She respected me now, genuinely, not out of obligation or fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that made it entirely possible she was the fifth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a strange mix of pride and disbelief that settled in my chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These goblins… my clan… they actually trusted me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than that, they believed in me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, I just stood there, letting that sink in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had no doubt the sudden spike in their loyalty came from the skill lines I had given them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, it made perfect sense. If someone handed me the power to climb to heights I never imagined, I'd be loyal too. Strength changes everything — your future, your confidence, even your identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I was the one handing out that future like candy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chief? Is everything alright?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Narg's voice pulled me back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was still kneeling, looking up at me with that steady, unblinking gaze of his, a little confused by the silence that had stretched between us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'd been standing there thinking, forgetting he was literally at my feet waiting for my next order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My thoughts wandered too far for a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I shook them off and returned to the moment, focusing again on the task at hand — the real reason Narg was here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright,\" I said, a small smile tugging at my lips. \"Let's make you even more powerful, shall we?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Narg back...\u003C\u002Fp>",1054,"2026-06-05T20:04:08.078Z",1,"novelbin.me","ef3ed7d37b13ec88e37880c11b86b7b317a13e4b2fe0e34cc2ac6c20c94ba0e2","goblin-king-my-innate-skill-is-op-chapter-284","goblin-king-my-innate-skill-is-op-chapter-282",375,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgoblin-king-my-innate-skill-is-op-cover.jpg"]
