Here’s a description of the manga’s story, via Yen Press:
Office worker Akira Yagami’s altruistic nature usually gets him the short end of the stick. When he dies after saving a kid from oncoming traffic…he reincarnates in another world as a goblin?! Normally, goblins only live for seven days, but Akira’s newfound powers let him defy the species’ normal life span…and are the key to his path to becoming the strongest goblin ever!
