《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.

Parallels
Parallels are a constant in life. Our friends' lives often run parallel to ours; we share similar experiences or tastes- perhaps even both. Sometimes, however, opposites attract- and our lives run perpendicular. In that case, we are not attracted by similarities; rather, we are attracted to the differences in others. So, what happens when two parallels are broken apart? What might happen to them? Are they forever doomed to run alongside each other, never seeing one another, never meeting? Or, perhaps, might they be spun about? Could these lines that formerly ran alongside one another meet? Could they possibly be set perpendicular? Any feedback is welcome, so long as it is constructive. Also, you may not use any characters, ideas, places, or what have you that I present here without my explicit permission. A note: This is a story which I began over a year ago, but never got around to finishing- it feels about time to really get it going. Now, there are a couple of things about the story, and myself, that need to be said. First and foremost, there's a slow start, but by the third-fourth chapter things should be speeding up a bit. Secondly, in regards to release speed and/or word count per chapter, I make no promises- my schedule is fairly random, and in regards to word count, I will cut off any chapter at any point that feels appropriate to me- that may include cliffhangers, if necessary. I'm not trying to reach a specific word count, I am trying to create a cohesive story, with pseudo-appropriate chapter breaks. This means I will also not rush a half-baked release for the sake of getting a release out. Thirdly, I will make any edits, anywhere in the story and at any time, that strike me as necessary- typically being wording and/or formatting changes, but I may also decide to change major plot points- in that case I would put a notification in the next chapter released. Finally, and most importantly, I am a Christian; this story is intended to at least moderately reflect those values. So, if you particularly dislike any of these things, feel free to look elsewhere, and don't let the door hit you on the way out. God bless, friends.

At times I ponder about the characters featured in the Smash Ultimate. series. I think about their relationships between one another and how they would interact with others in certain situations. I also think about scenarios about how they would treat their love interest.-This is a book about general headcanons about the characters and XReader moments, this book is probably going to be updated daily!
