Isekai'd Goblin Discovers lost

Some goblin doomsday prophets identify lost as the sign — not of the end, but of the part right before the end, which lasts longer than anyone expected.

The goblin board's investment thesis on lost runs to forty pages, of which six are diagrams, fourteen are footnotes, and the remaining twenty consist of the same paragraph slightly reworded each time.
