2021-07-12 15:53:14I saw it, something I never would have wanted to see.
A beast that I have seen in the games I have played. The epitome of strength, brutality and madness.
Orcs.
It made me come to the reality that the world I am in now is not Earth anymore. All this time I was still going easy with everything treating it as if I am in some game.
The wolflike beast that I saw earlier is being held in one of its arms as it uses the other to tear it in half. Just to remind you, the wolflike beast is at least 3 times larger than me, but it wasn't even worth comparing to that Orc.
I thought that Orcs were at least twice the size of a human but the one I am seeing right now is easily 5 times the size. that also makes me realize how gigantic this place is. Even though the Orc is almost 15m in height, it doesn't even reach half the length of this place from the ground to the ceiling.
Does this mean that there are monsters or beast that is larger than the Orc in front of me?
I remain still poking only part of my head enough for me to see the surroundings. Hoping that the Orc is too big for it to notice me. Strangely I was not scared, but I was thinking of how to get the dead beast's body on the ground.
I don't know why the Orc didn't eat it or are they not supposed to eat it?
I decided not to take any risk and pray that the Orc leaves soon so that I can take whatever remains of the beast.
[Stealth Skill learned]
What is this? You mean I can learn skills by doing certain actions?
That is good news for me. More skills, more chances I have to survive. I am still surprised that I am quickly adapting to life in my new body and world.
For now, I'll check what the new skill does while I wait for the Orc to leave.
[Stealth: Improves the ability of hiding and lessens the presence of the user]
Oh yes!
Perfect skill for someone like me...
Eventually, the Orc left somewhere far away at least I hope so.
Now, if I calculate it right the distance between me and the dead wolf beast is about 20 to 25m.
Not that long but I will need some time to drag the body near my hole since it is way larger than me.
Ugh
I still can't get used to the smell and look of the dead beast at all. Will I even be able to eat it? I guess I'll try.
Stealthily I come out of my hole and approach the dead beast, using the rough terrain as hiding places.
I reached it.
I miscalculated. The beast is not 3 times my size but about 5 times my size!
I don't have enough strength to even drag half of the beast. What do I do now? Think, think, think...
[Essence detected]
[Do you wish to absorb?]
YES!YES!YES!
[Absorbing Essence]
[4:59] [4:58] [4:57].....
NO!!!!
It needs 5mins to absorb??? Damn it, if any other beast comes I'll be dead before I even reach my hiding place.
CLICK-CLACK CLICK-CLACK
!!!!!!
Is this the end for me right here?
HEY, YOU STUPID SYSTEM I thought you were going to lead me to supremacy. How am I supposed to do that now that I am going to become Orc food?
....
Of course! You can't even do anything! But no worries I am smart enough to outsmart some stupid Orcs.
I got a plan. The beast is big enough for me to hide me and if it doesn't work I have the ultimate skill!!
PLAY DEAD!!
Please work!!
I hear it coming closer as the sound of the bones the Orc uses as clothing or armour gets louder.
I hide as it comes closer to the body of the dead beast it killed. Did it not eat it before because of some reason and is coming back now to take its meal? YOU stupid Orc! Don't you know that meat is best eaten fresh!!! OF course, you don't cause you stupid!
[Stealth has reached level 2]
NICE!! I need everything I can get.
The Orc is heading towards me or its meal that he forgot to take.
My heart is beating at a rate faster than any hands that have fapped. Above that, I am getting tired and hungry. It might seem effortless to lay down on the ground hiding but I haven't eaten anything in the last 24hrs.
I can feel it right above me. Its shadow looming over me as death stands before as it took a step and walks away...
HUH?
HUH??
[Play Dead has reached level 2]
OHH Mighty!
Stop. Let's not waste time and escape as soon as possible. We never know when it may come back again.
[Absorbtion complete]
[50 Essence Recieved]
[Do you wish to use the available Essence?]
Good timing! Let's see how this Essence works.
Never mind that I need to get some of this meat and head to my hole immediately. I use my claws, cut off whatever meat I can carry, and rush back to my hole before any more trouble arrives.
Wheww.
Finally, I can get some rest. I begin to widen the hole using claws so that I have enough space to keep the meat. Doing so I make the entrance small so that hopefully other monsters don't find me and I am safe while I am in here.
Finally, time to eat. I hope I don't throw up what I eat and even if I want to cook it I don't have any way of making fire and cooking meat in this place is just asking to be eaten instead.
Here goes!! chomp! chomp!...
[Consumed the flesh of Newborn Warg]
[Recieving knowledge on Warg]
[Warg - lesser-class beast type monster containing small traces of Myth Fenrir blood. The Warg is mostly bred by Orcs for hunting. Can advance to only one special evolution- The Blood Warg. Weakness - It loses half of his strength during the day]
I see! I can learn about the creatures as long as I consume their meat. That is useful for me as I am lacking knowledge but the eating part of it is risky.
It is not that bad actually maybe because I am literally a monster too. Now that I have solved my hunger I'll check out how the essence works.
Essence? Use Essence?
[Do you want to use the available Essence]
Yes.
[Evolution requirement not met]
[Available upgrades]
CLAW - POISON CLAW(50)- STRENGTHEN CLAW(50)- CURVED CLAW(50)
BODY- SUCTION SKIN(20)- ARMORED SKIN(50)- LIGHT SKIN(30)
So I can only upgrade two parts of my body. The skin and my claw. This is hard for me to choose I don't know whether I should upgrade my claws to have a higher chance to kill the monster or to upgrade my body for more survivability. I can know what most of the upgrade does just from their name except for the Curved claws and Suction skin.
[Curved claw: Makes the claw curved to help in climbing walls, to get more grip and impaling]
[Suction skin: Form suction cups on the skin to help stick to the surface of any solid and improve stealth]
Not what I had in mind but it's okay.
The number next to the upgrades must be their cost I think...hmm can I stack two skins at the same? One way to find out.
[Do you wish to upgrade to Suction skin and Light skin]
Nice!! It is possible!
[Upgrading]
UGHHHH!!! WHAT the hell is this pain?!
It never mentioned any pain or anything.
grrhhhhhhh...
.....
Haaaa.. it finally stopped.
[Light skin: Makes the body light and agile for faster movement while increasing hardness by a small amount]
[+5 DEF]
[Suction skin: Form suction cups on the skin to help stick to the surface of any solid and improve stealth]
[Stealth skill level + 1]
[Stealth skill has reached level 3/5]
Hmm?
The stealth skill is now showing its max level? or can it be advanced like in the games I played? I have already reached halfway on its level. Looking forward to maxing it out.
I want to check out the changes to my body but let's do that later.
I'm exhausted, time for some sleep. Covering up the hole I loosen my legs and place my body down to the earth.
When I wake up I'll try to hunt for my first prey!!!

[Stealth has reached level 3]Hmm? Nice! Skill level up!But how did it levelled up? I didn't even hide...I get it. What I am doing in this hole is hiding! Does that actually count? This is such a huge opportunity to farm my skill level for my stealth. I should try and see what other skills I can level up in this way.I'll think about that later, I need to hunt today. It's not every day I'll get free food from the Orcs. But engaging in combat means instant death for me based on the monster I have met till now.I'm sure there are other weaker monsters in this place, Right!!?? If not I am totally screwed.I also need a safer place as my shelter, the hole I am staying in now may be safe for now but if I am found it's more like a death trap cause I have no way out.I'm so hungry...Hiding in my shelter there's only one thing on my mind.FOOD!!I'm starting to remember all the delicious foods I have eaten in my previous life,

I haven't thought about it seriously before because I was occupied with more important stuff but are Epic rank monsters that common? Aren't they supposed to be near impossible to find, more like whoever finds them doesn't live to tell the tale but I am now doubting whether Epic rank is that high of a rank at all? In just one day, I came across two Epic rank monsters even though they were newborns they were still Real Epic rank monsters. Epic rank or not, it doesn't change the fact that I am going to kill that baby dragon today. No pain no gain as people use to say in my world or do I say my previous world? Although I am worried there will be more pain than gain or quite possibly pain only, I was a person who lived for overpowered skills, I cannot live without having anything overpowered in my arsenal of skills or abilities. And one thing that could possibly give me something overpowered is killing an Epic rank monster, not just any monster but a Dragon. Maybe a title like the Dragon

[Upgrading to Armoured skin]Ughhhh!! I feel that I will have more chances of dying whenever I upgrade myself rather than from monsters!!When will it not hurt every time I get an upgrade….

The moment the shell hit the floor, the baby dragon opened its eyes as it awakens from its slumber.I could feel the pressure it emitted as if a giant weight has pressed down on me, all I could do was to remain as still as possible. My senses were telling me to go and run away as fast as I can. Maybe me being a lesser demon affected me. I hesitated whether I should just give up and run away but I wanted to try at least once, u never know until u try right?However, it only looks at me once before it closed its eyes and resume what it was doing a moment ago. I instantly had one thought, maybe the dragon is in some process of evolution and cannot move? I could be totally wrong and fuck myself up but I believe that it is true.Before anything I want to see if analyze will show anything to me. that would be the safer and smarter thing to do.Analyze![Epic rank - Newborn Falak dragon][Offspring of the Epic Rank Falak Dragon.

"W-what's going on here?!"Someone shouted. Geometrical patterns, just like a magic circle you'd see in anime, formed on the floor of the classroom.Then, in the following instant, the space around them changed – turning into a large ground with a large circular plate with unknown symbols.An unknown number of people out of nowhere appeared on top of the circle as the archimages finished the ritual."Hurraaay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"The people, citizens, everyone was on their knees as they shouted in unison. The otherworldly heroes were their hope. For every generation, they were told the stories of heroes, of how they slew the monsters of the dark, of how they protected the empire, of how they sacrificed their lives for the people. Instilled on each citizen was a deep sense of respect and honour for the so-called heroes. And today was such a day where they would get to see a glimpse of their heroes."..eh?'One moment they were si

It's been roughly 3 hrs since I started converting the high tier essence to normal essence.[5 secs remaining].........[Coversion complete][Gained 5000 essence]Niceuuuu!It is enough to get two skills at most. I didn't hope for much but I was hoping for it to be much higher than 5000. Since 1% is 5000 essence then all the essence available here is about 500000??? Damn what a huge waste!I have not realised it before but once I looked into the skills section again, I can't decide which skills to choose.One way is to take the Biokinesis which cost 4000 essences since I don't even need to injure the dragon's exterior and directly caused harm to its internal organs. But can it really do enough damage to kill it? most likely not.The other way is to take poison generation and amplify which cost 1000 and 1500 essence each. I can strengthen myself to penetrate the dragon's thick hide and apply

"Hey! Why should we listen to a brat like you?" The interjection came from the back of the crowd, a young soldier, his face flushed with anger, his eyes blazing with defiance. The rest of the soldiers turned to stare, their expressions a mixture of curiosity and apprehension.A genuine smile spread across my face. Finally, someone had the audacity to speak up. A flicker of satisfaction ignited within me. This was exactly what I had been hoping for, wasn't it? Didn't this feel like the natural order of things?I had anticipated this moment from the very beginning. There was no way these esteemed scions of nobility and battle-hardened knights would meekly submit to the commands of a mere child. The moment I was elected commander of one of the three mighty armies, I knew this tension would inevitably arise. After all, who among these talented warriors would willingly follow a teenager with little to boast of in terms of accomplishments? And let's not forget the shadow of my less-than-st
Demon's Evolution Doubt In the Commander
Ladia couldn't help but castigate herself for her lapse in judgment. How had she not seen it before? If the involvement of the magic towers would significantly aid the Empire, then the impact of the very person who had defeated the magicians of the tower participating would be monumental.The princess's heart thrummed with the realization, chiding herself for taking so long to come to this epiphany. Was Ethan's proposal the correct course of action or not? She no longer dwelled on the question.With a steely gaze, Ladia announced, "I have reached a verdict."The room fell silent as all eyes turned to the princess. The final decision lay in her hands, and she was ready to reveal it. The anticipation hung heavy in the air, and Ladia took a deep breath before continuing. "I have decided to accept Ethan's proposal."A murmur of surprise rippled through the room, but Ladia held up her hand for silence. "I believe that Ethan's plan, with a few modifications, is the best course of action for
Demon's Evolution Foresight
My suggestion ignited a firestorm of debate among the upper echelons of the capital. The princess convened her officials in the grand throne room, where the air was thick with tension and uncertainty as they deliberated their next course of action. Ultimately, the march toward the City of Aran was postponed by a full day, a delay that weighed heavily on everyone present. The officials found themselves divided, caught between two stark choices: should they attempt to reclaim the nearby City of Aran from the Beast Kingdom, or should they focus their efforts on retaking the more strategically significant City of Northfall?"But, Your Majesty," one of the officials interjected, his voice rising above the murmurs of the assembly, "as we stand now, we cannot afford to risk an attack on the Northfall Fortress! I have heard reports that the beastmen have fortified their walls and laid even more traps to ensnare us! If we allow this farce to continue, we will be nothing more than lambs led to
Demon's Evolution Indecisive
A chill snaked down Ryle's spine. Ethan's suggestion hung in the air, heavy and suffocating, like a shroud woven from despair. To attack City of Aran, a fortress city now bristling with tens of thousands of Beast Kingdom soldiers, felt like a declaration of utter annihilation. Even Lance, their most valiant commander, had fallen captive within its walls.Ryle's brow creased into a deep furrow. He, too, was a commander of the Initiation Army, a man who had tasted the bitterness of defeat and the sting of loss. He couldn't fathom how Ethan, this newly appointed leader, could so blithely propose a course of action that reeked of self-destruction."I cannot, in good conscience, agree with your plan," Ryle stated, his voice laced with a mixture of disbelief and frustration. "As we stand now, attacking Northfall City is a fool's errand, a suicide mission. We are scattered, depleted, and outmatched. We must first rally our remaining forces, regroup along the borders, and then, and only then,

"Ryle Green, step forward!" the Royal advisor said, seeing Ryle was in a daze.Ryle coughed and stepped forward, his heart pounding with excitement as he knelt before the Princess."Ryle Green, you are hereby granted authority over fifty thousand soldiers," the Princess said, her voice like a melody that soothed the soul. "You shall be the commander of the Vanguard Army!"With a snap of her fingers, the Princess bestowed an insignia upon Ryle's shoulder, its glow of light like a beacon of hope in the face of the looming threat of the Beast Kingdom."I will crush those beastmen for you, Your Highness!" Ryle said, his voice filled with determination and resolve.The Princess smiled, her eyes filled with pride and hope. "We have faith in you, Ryle," she said. "Together, we will defeat the Beast Kingdom and restore peace to our lands."Princess Ladia nodded, a hint of a smile playing on her lips. "I expect a lot from the younger generation, Ryle," she said, her voice laced with both encou
Demon's Evolution The Chosen Commanders
The Dwarven Kingdom, a land renowned for its glittering wealth, held its breath. The Brightwing Empire’s meager offer, a desperate plea for aid, was all they had to entice the notoriously hard-drinking mercenaries. Even if their weapons were outdated, their reputation for unmatched effectiveness in battle preceded them. Surely, that would be enough.“Your Majesty,” a guard murmured, his voice barely a tremor in the air. “They have arrived.”Princess Ladia, lost in a labyrinth of thought, startled slightly. She had wrestled with the decision for what felt like an eternity, but finally, a solution had emerged. All that remained was to face them, to meet their gaze and offer her hand in this desperate alliance.Viscount Lamiel, a man whose arrogance was only surpassed by his thirst for gold, strode into the royal garden, flanked by a legion of equally boisterous mercenaries. Princess Ladia recognized most of them – the nobles summoned by the crown, their faces etched with a mixture of g
Demon's Evolution Who will be the Commanders?
The scene unfolded with brutal efficiency. Several soldiers, their faces grim and resolute, descended upon Drew and the other soldier, their movements swift and decisive. There was no struggle, no desperate pleas for mercy. They walked away with heads bowed, accepting their fate with a stoic silence that spoke volumes of their resignation.Ryle, his expression a mixture of weariness and amusement, ran a hand through his hair, a sigh escaping his lips. "What a waste of a perfectly good sleep," he muttered, his voice laced with a hint of exasperation. "Young men like myself need our rest, yet everyone seems determined to disrupt my slumber over such trivial matters."His gaze shifted to me, and a playful smile curved his lips. "Allow me to introduce myself," he said, extending a hand towards me. "Ryle Green, third son of Count Green, and as you might be able to tell, the future commander of this very army." He spoke with an air of unwavering confidence, his words carrying the weight of
Demon's Evolution Green Family
Two soldiers from a rival camp, their boots crunching on the gravel path, happened upon the conversation. One soldier, his face contorting with barely suppressed mirth, clamped a hand over his mouth, desperately trying to stifle a chuckle. His companion, sensing the impending eruption, jabbed him in the ribs with an elbow, a silent plea for decorum. But the laughter, like a trapped spring, was too powerful to contain. Tears welled in the soldier's eyes, threatening to spill over as his shoulders shook with silent mirth. Finally, with a strangled cry, he burst into a full-blown guffaw. "Hahahaha! If it's the Young Master leading us! Hahaha! We'll be able to… Pft! Hahaha!"The sound of his uncontrolled laughter echoed through the camp, drawing curious glances from nearby soldiers. Gaston, his face a mask of confusion and irritation, turned to the source of the amusement. "Excuse me, but what's so funny?" he demanded, his voice laced with displeasure.The soldier, still gasping for br
Demon's Evolution Flies
The unyielding army of the Ice Demon City had been journeying for a considerable number of weeks, traversing a multitude of cities and towns along the way. During our sojourns, we would occasionally restock our supplies, find respite in taverns, and often in the great outdoors, before resuming our arduous trek.Given the unfortunate circumstances, we were informed that the Ice Demon City was the most distant of all cities from the capital. This reality meant that we were among the last to receive the urgent message, compelling us to join the ranks of the other nobles and their armies in the capital.It was in the fourth week of our relentless march that we finally arrived in the grand and magnificent Capital city. The journey had been long and arduous, but our determination never wavered, as we knew our presence was required in these critical times. I had already surmised that the majority of the other nobles and their forces would have already amassed in the capital, readying themse
