Lair
Chapter 021 - Change
By Skalsar
Back in [Mafay Village], the red-haired woman explained what had happened.
The other [Villagers] and [Soldiers] had also returned with the reinforcements.
But they weren't needed anymore.
Seeing all the orcs, she doubted it would be possible to get through, but they were surprisingly weak. Most of them were even lying down sick from some weird poison as it seemed.
A [Hero] was unbelievable strong.
But orcs were strong too.
Speaking in levels, if a level 1 [Orc Warrior] and a human level 100 [Novice] fought, the orc would win. If a level 100 [Orc Warrior] were to fight a human level 1 [Hero], the [Hero] would win.
That is how the deitys designed the world to be.
But you can't negate damage completly.
If enough damage is pilled up, even the [Hero] will die.
And there are things like critical hits on weakspots. Attacking the eyes is quite dangerous too.
>Because of their weakened state, I was getting through easily.
They tried to swarm me, but were no match.
So I slaughtered them all and finally reached that old [Adventurer] there.She pointed at Rego.
It seemed to be luck.
She was on her way back from a monster subjugation and saw weird clouds far away.
Noticing it was magic, something made her run in that direction, where she then met the orcs.
>If they had been at their full force, I doubt I would have made it in time.
Lant and Rego were more than happy about that coincidence.
Maybe the orcs were fleeing or came from a big fight.
Nonetheless, they had to die.
>But did you find her?! Did you find my girl?!The lord looked worried. The orcs were dead, but he still had no word about his daughter.

'It can't be that she was already killed, right?
She has to be alive!'
>I'm sorry, but there was nothing but orcs.Looking confused, the [Hero] didn't seem to know what was going on right now.
>Please calm down Odas, maybe the orcs really didn't take her.
But the lord didn't want to calm down.
His daugther was still missing.
What man would calm down in that situation?
>Maybe..
At that voice, everyone looked to Lant who was deep in thought.
>.. she was taken to the dungeon?
Rego and Odas went pale at that thought.
If the orcs did so, she should be as good as dead.

Lily had grown fond of the [Blazing Hellhound] somehow.
I didn't even notice when that happend.
What did I do at that moment?
Not even "Hivemind" understood it.
Humans are to be afraid of creatures.
They should run away, shake, fight for their life.
And not..
Ride on them.
How did she even climb up there?
Oh you betrayer. I see.
The flaming fur of a [Blazing Hellhound] has magical properties.
It decided to not burn her and let her have her way.
'Stop that you idiot! She is food! Dont play with her!'
With that said, it puts her down and looks a bit sad.
Just what is up with this creature?
'But you play with her all the time.', it tells me with a bit of envy.
Wait, what?!
'I'm not PLAYING!
I'm studying humans!
That is different!'
'In what way?'
"Hivemind" looks at me curious too.
What the heck?
You too?
Is it because I asked you not to eat her, that you take [Blazin Hellhounds] side, "Hivemind"?
'The difference is..! Well..
Different..'
What exactly is the difference in experimenting on her behaviour and playing?

In both I can see how she reacts to different situations.
Learn about her movement and intelligence.
But most of all, where the hell did Lily run off to again?
Oh no.
I left the [Black Gate] open.
Whenever I do, she runs through and explores the hive as if she owned the place.
Doesn't she know how dangerous that is?
Well, it isn't.
Because I told everyone not to eat her, till I'm done.
And she is quite good at evading traps.
That isn't the point though.
Annoying stupid little human girl!
When I catch you, I will eat you!
No, probaly not.
I want to test out what happens if you eat magic power next.
Sadly she still doesn't understand a word I say.
I would like to ask her why, but well, she won't understand.
She is too stupid for it.
'You hear me? Too stupid!'
'How do you know, maybe it's just ignorance?
Or maybe she knows that you will eat her after you succeed?
Can you say for sure that she is just stupid and not playing you?'
I look at [Hiveworker] in shock.
'That is, with all due respect, my [Queen].', he adds.
What if he is right?
Could a human be playing me?
But humans are stupid, aren't they?!
I have to find out!
Think about other ways.
What can I do if she refuses to understand?
Ah!
Just because she doesn't learn to talk with her mind, doesn't mean I can't learn to use voice.
With that thought, I lay down in the [Lair] and focus magic power.
I already understand most of the things she says with her voice.
There just is something missing for me to use it myself.

Against the World. Chronicles of melancholy
An unknown accident leading to an amnesia and a twisted psyche. Forced away from his daily life, forced to play the Game, for reasons untold. To fight for his survival, to fight for answers. To become strong, to fight and survive for even the chance to find out why was this injustice done to him. The only way to beat the game is to play the game. And it must be played perfectly. Chronicles of melancholy, of an everlasting grayness, of sadness, despair and anger. A tale of a rise to power, or perhaps a fall from grace. Maybe even both, depending one's view point and final goal. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello ladies and gents. I hope you enjoy reading my book as I enjoy writing it! It’s a side project of mine and I can currently only write in my free time, which is not a lot unfortunately.

If you like the story you can support me on patreon and read chapters ahead of current release. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: The story might not be for the faint hearted or for those seeking an over-powerd plot guarded golden cow of a mc. The story will start out slowly and will pick up a bit of pace later on on, however, the character/s will walk a long and full of despair road. No sugar-coating in this story. Another thing to have in mind is that I currently do not have a proofreader nor an editor, so some mistakes might slip through my fingers, if you notice any such, please do leave a comment so I can fix them for future readers. Do please enjoy the story and feel free to leave reviews and or comments, I am usually pretty open and would love to answer some of your questions!
