Warning! This one will be slow to update. I have two stories going now. It's. It abandoned! "The person you pretend to be" Well, these three kobolds are the definition of that. All together, they pretend to be someone they aren't. Kobolds were never meant to be powerful. They were never meant to lead, to rule, to be the hero or be the villain. They weren't meant to be adored or feared. They were simply cannon fodder, to fall on a hero's blade and die by their master's word. But three kobolds, through luck, cunning, skill, and even more luck? Found a new path. This is the story of Trench, and how he became the most powerful being in all the lands. What to Expect: Magic, comedy, action with three native protagonists. No harem! The kobolds are platonic under the coat. The best definition of 'multiple lead characters' for a story you will ever see
