"Goblin Slayer" is set in a medieval fantasy world where adventurers take on quests to earn fame and fortune. The story centers on a stoic and highly skilled warrior known only as Goblin Slayer, whose sole purpose is the eradication of goblins. Unlike other adventurers who seek glory by battling dragons or demons, Goblin Slayer dedicates his life to eliminating goblins, a task often overlooked due to their perceived insignificance. His obsession stems from a traumatic childhood event where goblins destroyed his village and killed his family. The narrative begins with a young Priestess joining the Adventurer's Guild as a novice. On her first quest, she teams up with a group of inexperienced adventurers to clear a goblin nest. The mission goes disastrously wrong, leaving her as the sole survivor. Goblin Slayer arrives just in time to rescue her, showcasing his expertise in goblin extermination.

Despite their small size and low status, goblins are cunning, vicious, and capable of inflicting immense suffering. Goblin Slayer's methods are pragmatic and ruthless, emphasizing preparation, strategy, and the exploitation of goblin weaknesses. His unorthodox tactics and single-minded focus often clash with the more traditional and heroic approaches of his companions, creating tension and growth within the group. As the story progresses, the party undertakes various quests, ranging from rescuing captives to thwarting larger goblin threats. Along the way, they encounter other adventurers, guild members, and powerful entities, each contributing to the world-building and expanding the narrative scope.
