《Heaven's Grip : Orcs of Iaoue》Cleansing 2 : The River

Advertisement

slurp* slurp*

I dip my head into the long water flowing trough.

'This water tastes better than the old mans' I said to myself as I wag my tail happily.

I saw the Chief trying to stand in 2 legs right beside this long water flowing trough. This thing seems to be called a river, courtesy of the skill I obtained called.

INSPECT - I (RARE)

MP: 5

Displays information about the target.

AF: Show little to no amount of info.

"INSPECT", I used the said skill towards the Chief.

NAME: ?????? TITLE: CHIEF

RACE: HOG SKILLS: ??????

HP: ??????

MP: ??????

STR: ?????

INT: ?????

AGI: ?????

??????????

??????????

??????????

The skill sure is consistent with its description, there was literally little to no info to this. Well, at least I know that the Chief and I are called as Hogs.

There is this thing called name. I got a feeling that we need this but can't really explain as to why. I continued observing my surroundings and occasionally use my one and only active skill - inspect to almost everything I could see.

As I use my skill, I fill my pig brain information of all sorts, things that may be useful later on so I continued doing it until the thing called MP ran out.... I collapsed.

plunk* buff phht*

I turn my head towards the sound.

I can see one of my brethren fall sideways like an unrooted starbbage.

I walk towards him, I can see some of us are also interested from the sudden collapse of the most active member of our 'horde'.

This hog was one of the most eye-catching since the dude always moves like a wind. He does odd things, he stares at you then nods heavily afterward. He says weird words like this and that. But we are actually saved by him most of the time.

A certain brother was about to eat a dazzling flower only to be bumped by him out of nowhere. Instead of apologizing, the dude was mad and said that if you want to die don't let us see you and just 'Die in a corner!', that seems to be the correct phrase for it. He followed it up saying the flower is POY-SON and eating it is tantamount to dying.

It is hard to believe that by eating the flower will let you die, I refuse to believe that my stomach will be defeated by that mushy plant in front of me. So I asked him.

"PROVE".

The hog plucked a nearby starbbage that miraculously appeared when the situation needed it.

He placed it on top of the erect dazzling flower. Soon there was a reaction. The pale-green starbbage withered and turned into ash. It seems like anything that touches that flower will have the same fate.

thump* thump* thump*

Our pig hearts beat loudly as the imagination of our fat withering appeared in our fat heads. The hog who was at the death's door fell to its four knees.

"THANKS".

The hog merely nodded and continued to look around the vicinity doing his usual thing staring blankly towards something. That was like 7 hours ago, and I was acting like it happen a long time.

As I walked near the collapsed hog, my brethren circled him as if the collapsed hog was an entertainment. "SNORT", I tugged the collapsed hog out of the encirclement.

His eyes were closed and his breathing is heavy. ALL GOOD. That was the conclusion made by me, as the crowd dispersed.

I woke up, the surrounding is dark.

I can feel something rubbing my belly.

"INSPECT"

SKILL FAILED.

SKILL INSPECT LEVEL INCREASED

INSPECT (RARE) - II

MP: 6

Displays information about the target.

AF: Show little to no amount of info.

+ Failure rate reduced.

As usual, I used this skill normally everytime something NOT normal happens. I happen to do it by reflex since I have been using the skill for 2 days non-stop. I will never do that again though, falling unconscious is not really funny nor does it feel good. But for now my MP seems to be plenty I think, so I can still use it once or twice. So I did it again while ignoring the level up message.

"INSPECT"

FAUNA :

ROOTWORMS (COMMON) - root-like worms that live under the tree hiding from the early birds. NOCTURNAL

+30 sate (FOOD)

AF: Good source of PROTEIN (helps repair broken tissues).

The hog simply smiled, moved backward and bore its boar snout towards the location of the worm and chomp at it.

Happy, It told its brethren a new source of food.
