《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”
Race: Orc
Class: Warrior
Warrior Orcs raised in a village. They are known for their berserker state of mind.

“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: [Contamination level 5]
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

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.
