《Evolution of the Skeleton who walked alone in a Dungeon》Chapter 0008{Orcs}
Advertisement
There were small villages surrounded by forests, and There was a fortress surrounded by massive walls.
To my surprise, there were giant green intelligent lifeforms raised in it. I used stealth to scout for information around the villages.
Thereafter I found out they were known as orcs
Some orcs were giant with a height higher than 6’5’’.
The orcs seemed to be on the top of the food chain here.
Other species, such as goblins, wolves, giant birds, were the prey for the orcs.
Fighting and sparring were like a form of entertainment for them.
Using stealth, I went around hearing their communications.
I was able to understand them thanks to my [Communication] Skill.
They even had traditions and cultures. There was also a library; it seems like the orcs are forcing the goblins to do all their written work.
After going through several books, I found out that there were 10 villages, and every year one participant from each town would compete in a ritual, and the village which wins the ceremony would get to rule the fortress.
This was their rule, and 7 Red Orc Warriors would see that the law was not broken. These 7 orcs were also considered the first orcs to have been made and the strongest.
Unlike in the previous floor where the monsters were disorganized, here there was a whole kingdom, and going up against all of them at once would be impossible.
I decided to take one step at a time.
I went into the forest; the orcs would go to the woods to hunt monsters. I would take advantage of that.
I saw four orcs that hunted a 3 headed hound heading towards their village.
I wanted to test their strength, so I went in front of them.
“Appraisal”

“Is that a skeleton?”
“Seems to be an undead, how did it get here? Never mind, that armor should fetch a good price.” The orcs discussed with each other
Surprising they were able to recognize an undead, I had assumed they were raised in this floor and would not know about other species, but they were not even surprised after seeing me, there was more to this dungeon and how it worked
One of them came towards me. When it came in front of me, I realized how huge it was as it stood more than 7 feet tall.
“How about you hand that armor over, little skeleton?”
It stretched out its hand, Infront of me. I grabbed the hand and started to bend it, which caused it to fall onto its knees.
“Contamination”
Poison emerged out of my hand and traveled to the orc's mouth, instantly killing it.
“How dare you?!”
Another orc started to rush towards me with its long sword drawn.
I took out my own sword, flames emerging out of it, all it took was one slash, and I was able to cut both the orc and its sword in half.
“YOU!!!!!!!!! YOU DAMN SKELTON!! You shall pay for that.”
The remaining two orcs, enraged, started to enter their berserker state.
Their muscles started to expand, and their color started to change.
One of them jumped straight toward me and used a fist to push me back a few feet.
The other one then came from above me. I thought,
“How foolish.”
I pointed my finger towards the orc, which was above me and used flame control.
The orc which had nearly reached me had now turned into simple bones.
“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr”

After that move, it seemed that the other one was scared and now tried to flee.
I turned my sword into a spear and threw it towards the orc.
It penetrated right through the chest and killed it.

New Skill: [Berserk level 1] learned.
Skill Evolution: [Berserk level 1] + [Rage]+ [Darkness Attribute] ==> [Enraged level1] acquired.
I then went near the corpse.
“Awaken”
The dead orc began to rise up.
Skill [Darkness Attribute] is trying to take over [Turn Undead Level 1].
Its flesh began to burn, the flame started to take over the shape of the muscles.
A giant sword that the orcs used to carry came into its hand.
I turned all four of them into an undead. Orcs appearance had a massive change as their color had turned to blue and black because of the flames, which was a problem for me as I had planned to have them infiltrate the village.
I had to somehow restore their appearance.
I tried to see whether fire forging could only make non-tissue or also make living tissue.
The system has noticed your thoughts!
Because of high affinity, an exception is being made!
New skill: [Tissue Manipulation level 1] learned.
Skill Evolution: [Tissue Manipulation level 1] + [Fire Forging level 1] + [Regeneration level3] + [Water Manipulation level 1] ==> [Deconstruct and Reconstruct level1] learned.
I see the higher the affinity, the more useful the system is, but I still had no idea how I could increase its affinity or what kind of actions affected it
I then used my new skill with the monster; they hunted to construct their flesh and restore their appearance.
Now, I had them infiltrate their village. I had also distributed the poison inside orc’s flesh. Orcs would be unaffected since they were undead but the others……………………...
Contamination could spread through any means even air to apply; it would not take much time.
Now I had to wait until nightfall.

Skill Evolution: [Enraged level2]
Skill Evolution: [Enraged level3]
Skill Evolution: [Enraged level4]
I had just killed more than 100 orcs, but my level only increased by 4 levels. But by killing the orcs, my skill [Enraged] did level up.
I then went to the middle of the village and said,
“Awaken”
All the dead orcs began to rise.
Skill Evolution: [Turn Undead level 2]
Skill Evolution: [Turn Undead level 3]
More than one-third of my MP had just been consumed.
One village was now conquered.
Some of the orcs were different than the others.
Especially the village chief, it didn’t only look strong but was also capable of using magic.
There were nearly 10 orcs who could use magic.
But from the feats of the red orcs that I read in the book, I still thought that this much wouldn’t be enough

Twice Lived
Previously called Standard Reincarnation Story In a fraction of a moment, the Earth was no more. The planet was destroyed, and billions and billions of people were dead. And it was all an accident. This is the story of Elm. A regular American born once on earth and given a chance to be reborn again on a planet with magic and monsters and dungeons. Except that for Elm, this is far from the idealistic reincarnation into a loving family -- the standard story of a child raised by loving parents who teach him the ways of the world, Instead, Elm is born into a family of inquisitors. An order of nobility that is dedicated to hunting down and killing "Twice-Lived" -- the name society has for people like Elm who are reincarnated with all their memories of their past life intact. Disclaimer This story is: 1) Extremely violent and graphic. 2) Still in a rough draft stage. I see what I am writing more like a synopsis than a fully fledged story. I periodically will go back to flesh out earlier chapters, build characters, etc... If you find the words "Show don't tell," comforting accept that unfortunately, I'm not at that stage of the writing process yet. 3) At one point this story was called "Standard Reincarnation Story," and I had written an extremely off-putting description of the story. This was mostly to keep out people who would just read the silly first few chapters then rage quit as soon as the violent stuff got started. Since I just had my first .5 star rating (without a page read count increase) that technique is not working, so I might as well treat this as a regular fiction and try to get regular readers.
