The Record of Orc Civilization

Chapter 12 How I Meet Your Mother

The sun began to disappear in the western horizon.

He carried with him the light and life of the monsters and beasts of that day.

White mist began to drift down from the mountains of Wolf Slopes.

Comes with him the darkness and the world of monsters and beasts of the night.

Hordes of Orcs staggered into the Dawnmist Tribe.

Some of them hit the tribal guardrail without noticing.

They were so exhausted,

Moku ordered them to bring the skin, bones, and meat from the game into the hut next to the tent he owned.

Moku wanted to soak these meats in a jug of honey to preserve them.

They had quite a bit of store food, enough that they wouldn't have to hunt the next day.

However, like a good housewife, Moku doesn't want their supplies to run out, so the orcs will continue to hunt the next day.

The hut next to his tent was a hut he had purposely made to store food and other equipment such as weapons.

This hut was built of wood, leather, and palm fiber as the roof, a large log stuck in the middle to become the main pillar, so that it was shaped like a cone.

This hut does not have any facilities, only a few torches are attached to the main pole for heating and lighting at night.

This hut is shaped like a rectangle. With an area of about 30 cubic meters. The floor is just dirt, Moku pulls the grass and spreads insect repellent around it.

Moku ordered the orcs to put the meat into a jug filled with honey and hang the skins near the torches to dry it quickly.

There were no attacks on their way home, probably because the daytime predators were starting to move towards their nests and the nocturnal predators had not yet awakened from their slumber.

Even so, the injuries the orcs suffered while fighting a herd of deer had exhausted them.

Moku let the orcs return to their respective tents.

They wanted to scream with joy, but their exhausted bodies just wanted to meet the mattress and close their eyes.

Moku brought some meat into his tent which was next to the hut.

He wanted to make dinner for the girls in his tent.

Orcs lived in tents, the hut where the food was stored was the only building standing in the Dawnmist Tribe.

They have a nomadic life. Foraging for food and hiding from external threats were the reasons why orcs had no fixed abode.

Their tents are usually built from four large logs juxtaposed with each other. Then it will be wrapped with ropes, the roof will be made of tree fronds or tree bark.

Orcs had no mats on their floors and only slept on the ground.

In contrast to them, Moku considers the cleanliness of the residence to be one of the elements of life.

He built his own tent when he was 6 years old. Moku does not use wood but bamboo that is bent to form a framework like an igloo.

Then he strengthened the walls with wood and fastened them together with bast ropes.

Moku uses palm fiber and dried leaves which he sews together to form rectangular. Then he arranged and tied it so that it became a roof.

The inhabitants of the Bog Forest need not be afraid of storms or strong winds, the tall trees will protect them from it, but the rainfall in this forest is quite high.

Moku covered the floor of his tent with dry leaves and animal skins. Making the tent warm and comfortable enough to live in.

Currently Moku has a project to make mattresses, pillows, and of course bolster pillows. As a former resident of Southeast Asia, sleep will not be complete without a bolster pillow.

Moku entered his tent and didn't care about the other occupants. He took off his leather armor.

Moku looked at the five girls who were still hugging each other. These girls lowered their heads while stealing glances at Moku.

Moku frowned. He thought what he should do. Seeing the chains that tied the legs, hands and necks of the five girls, Moku got an idea.

The first thing you do when you meet a stranger is to show good intentions... Maybe..

Moku came closer and grabbed the hand of one of the girls. This girl screams in fear while asking another girl for help in a language that Moku doesn't understand.

But the other girls didn't move and just stared with pity.

Moku understands this body language. 'at least not me'. Moku smirked.

Humans in any world are still selfish creatures.

Moku watched this girl,

Her chestnut hair looks shabby and limp from the cold of the Bog forest, but it could also be the result of the owner being under stress.

The quivering brown eyes, well placed in their sockets, watched Moku in fear.

Her knees seemed to be shaking holding her slender body. This girl is not skinny she has good body proportions.

It's just that the events she went through earlier made her body absorb energy beyond its needs.

Even so, her smooth white skin could be seen from the rips in some parts of her light blue clothes.

Hehehe… Moku's sadistic passion was slightly triggered.

Moku put his finger on his lips, telling her to be quiet.

The chestnut-haired girl stopped whining, it seemed that the movement earlier was the body language of the universe.

Moku wiped the chestnut-haired girl's tears with his thumb. But this girl's tears did not stop flowing.

Moku lowered his hand slowly towards the girl's neck. She closed her eyes as if she had resigned herself to fate. Then there was a sound.

Klang!

The chain that tied the chestnut-haired girl's neck fell off. That girl stared at Moku in astonishment.

Moku squeezed her hand slowly, then let go of the chain in her hand.

The chestnut haired girl seemed to get enlightenment, she started to nod and looked deeply at Moku.

Then she started to look right and left.

'what did she do?' Moku fell strange looking at this girl's behavior.

Then she put her index finger on her lips, indicating that to remain silent then pointed to the chain at her feet.

"Eh?" Moku let out a confused voice.

She look frightened by Moku loud confused voice. She put her index finger to her lips again, then looked right and left as if looking for something.

Moku realized what this girl's behavior meant.

She thought, if Moku was a young orc who felt pity for the fate of the girls kidnapped by orcs and tried to free them.

Maybe this orc child remembered its human mother or something.

"HAHAHAHAHA..HAHAHA!" Moku who understood this girl's thoughts laughed heartily.

You think this is a fairy tale, where there is a good orc who sacrificed himself against his tribe to save a beautiful princess.

Moku laughed while holding his stomach. The chesnut-haired girl looked at Moku with wide eyes.

Moku shook his head and looked into the girl's eyes as if to send a message through his gaze.

"No girl! you guys will stay here till the end of life. But I just want to make sure that you are always healthy, ready to give birth, like it or not!"

As if understanding what Moku meant, the girl's face paled.

Moku patted her shoulder like a friend thanking another friend for a good joke and took another girl.

Moku didn't pay attention to her face. He untied the chains that tied her neck and hands and took another girl.

Moku did the same with the other two girls. But when the fifth girl, Moku stopped for a moment.

Moku looked at the girl who was still looking down. Moku stopped not because this girl was so beautiful, but when Moku held her hand, he felt something.

In order to achieve his dream Moku practiced every martial art, from bare hands, cold weapons, and even hot weapons he had mastered.

Even so, Moku most mastered were karambit and the sword which became his main weapon.

Moku lifted the girl's face and looked into her eyes.

Her short white hair that flowed down to the tip of her chin revealed a round, glowing face.

The glittering hazel eyes, tightly in their sockets, stared at Moku's red eyes fearlessly.

She only looks scared and trembling to cheat, she is looking for loopholes, weaknesses, and opportunities that she can take advantage of.

Her chubby cheeks looked chafed, perhaps from scratches from the bushes in the Bog forest.

There was something incomprehensible about her, perhaps because she was the only girl wearing a leather armor or perhaps because the fire of hope on her eyes were not extinguished.

Moku smiled, at least he found a pearl among the dirt.

Moku has a brilliant idea.

"Oi!" Moku opened his mouth.

"Oi!" Moku called again but there was no response. Feeling annoyed Moku raised his voice.

"OI!!!" Suddenly her eyes stopped shaking and turned sharp like swords.

"Moku!" Moku pointed at himself.

"Who?" and pointing at the white-haired girl.

She was confused not understanding what Moku was talking about. Moku smiled, pointing at himself again. "Moku!"

"Who?" indicate it the same way.

"Who?" the white-haired girl pointed at herself in confusion.

Moku shook his head and repeated pointing at himself again.

"Moku!" and pointed at the white haired girl "who?" this time Moku tilted his head.

The white-haired girl who just understood nodded and said her name.

"Anna"

Moku smiled and pointed at the chestnut-haired girl.

"Lina" the girl replied. Moku pointed at another girl with ginger hair.

"Widya" Moku nodded and pointed at the girl beside him with blonde hair.

"Vivi" the girl replied. Moku pointed at the last girl with brown hair.

"…Claire!" This girl stared for a long time before answering.

Moku smiled.

Seeing the smile of the orcs with huge lower canines, the girls trembled again. Moku ignored them and took the cup from animal skull.

Moku took water from the barrel and drank it, then took another sip. Moku walks to Vivi and gives her some water.

Vivi shook her head but Moku kept staring. Vivi was scared until her body was shaking, with trembling hands she drank it.

Moku got up again and sipped the water then gave it to Lina. He did this to the other three girls, Clare shook her head in refusal and Moku didn't insist.

Moku stood up again, now he took sticks, dry shrubs and flints. He put them together and started banging flints against each other.

Sparks of flint scorched the dry bush. Moku blew it slowly, when the fire grew slightly, Moku added a twig to it.

The girls see Moku making fire. After the fire lives Moku arranges stones around the fire.

Moku stabbed a twig into the minced meats, making it like a satay. He stuck it around the bonfire.

Moku didn't say anything and stood out of the tent. He didn't come back for a while. Actually Moku was cleaning himself at the well in the middle of the camp.

The sweet smell began to waft through the tent. The meat Moku cooked wasn't the venison that he and the other orcs had just hunted that afternoon, but the meat Moku had kept in the jar full of honey.

The very appetizing smell of honey roasted meat satay made the girls swallow their saliva.

A few moments later Moku went back into his tent. The water had drained from his body but he looked fresher.

Moku saw the girls had not eaten their dinner. He sat by the fire and took a skewer and bring it at front of them.

But no one dared to grab it. Moku sighed and took another satay then placed it in the hands of each girl.

They just looked at him with doubtful eyes. The smell of the still warm satay made them gulp again.

Anna saw the other girls didn't move, she gripped the skewer tightly, opened her mouth, and started eating the meat.

Anna let out a sigh of pleasure from her mouth which was busy chewing the satay meat.

Seeing Anna eating, other girls also ventured to eat.

Seeing that Moku nodded.

Moku stared and waited for the five girls to finish their dinner. Then walked out and came back with two swords.

This time the five girls were scared again. Moku stabbed one of the swords into the ground and the other sheathed at his waist.

Moku looked at one of the five girls. This girl can wield a sword or maybe an expert with it. Anna.

Anna felt Moku's gaze glanced at her.

"Anna" Moku pointed at her then pointed at the stuck sword.

Moku repeated the movement twice, until Anna stood up and walked towards the sword.

The other four girls were confused by Anna's behavior. But Moku and Anna ignored them.

This white-haired girl Anna, has smooth white skin, her chubby face looks cute along with her small nose.

There is no sign that she is a fighter. But Moku had never seen a fighter from how attractive they looked.

When he held Anna's hand, he knew that Anna was a swordsman. Her strong forearm muscles and calloused palms were a sign that Anna had swung her sword hundreds if not thousands of times.

Anna approached the stuck sword, Moku released all the chains that bound her. Then back away slowly.

Moku set a distance of 3 meters from Anna.

Moku pointed at her "Anna—"

"can beat me—" Pointing the sword,

"you are free—" pointing outside the tent,

"Anna—"

"lost—" pointing to the ground,

"Moku's!" and pointed at himself.

Miraculously Anna nodded in understanding.

Anna mounted a sword stance. Spreading her legs shoulder-width apart and raising her sword to chest level.

Seeing this Moku smiled and drew his sword.

Anna didn't attack right away she looked at Moku from head to toe. Moku did the same.

After observing her opponent Anna closed her eyes and tried to calm down. Anna opened her eyes and stepped forward.

Anna didn't lunge to attack but slowly advanced step by step.

Moku became serious, he mounted his stance.

CLANG!

The first attack was made by Anna, an attack from above. Moku parried and backed away keeping his distance.

Seeing that her initial attack was blocked, Anna stepped forward again.

Anna and Moku circled around each other. Their eyes remained focused on the enemy in front of them, watching every move.

Then Moku lunged forward and thrust his sword.

Anna parried it easily. But Moku's attacks haven't stopped stab after stab he quickly launched.

Anna parried and dodged it nimbly.

Anna looked like she was dancing in the rain of swords.

Moku backed away seeing his stab combo attack fail.

She stepped forward and launched a slash.

Moku raised his sword high and swung it with all his might.

CLAANGG!!

Moku and Anna's swords met, the sound of metal hitting each other resounded loudly throughout the tent.

Moku's very strong and hard swing of the sword made her sword vibrate violently. Anna almost let go of her sword.

Anna tried hard to keep her sword, but it caused her hand to be carried away by her own sword.

Her stance was shattered.

Moku didn't waste the chance, he threw away his sword.

Anna who was still inexperienced in sword duels focused on the sword that he threw.

Ugh!

Moku took one quick step closer to her body and sent a hard elbow strike into Anna's stomach.

Moku's elbow was so hard that it almost made Anna vomit up the satay she had just eaten.

Brak!

Anna was thrown and hit the tent wall. Her breath rose and fell until she finally fell unconscious.

The four other girls who saw Moku and Anna's duel were amazed.

They didn't expect the girl held captive with them to possess such great swordsmanship. Moku looked at the other four girls.

"Who else?" said in his body language.

Suddenly the five girls shook their heads quickly. Moku just smirked.

'it seems I only get one… the rest is for the tribe'

Seeing the four girls shaking their heads in fright Moku sighed in pity. Moku is not a man who likes to impose his will, especially on women.

Moku who used to live in a matrilineal family, they respect a mother, because of that Moku doesn't want to force the four women to have sex with him.

But these five girls are captives of the tribe so Moku can't just let them go.

Moku gives the choice to fight and determine their own destiny. If they were able to defeat the strongest orc in the tribe then the other orcs wouldn't mind letting them go.

Orcs highly value warriors. For them someone who is able to defeat Moku (a Ku) deserves to be respected and appreciated for her choice.

Then Moku's victory over Anna gave him legitimacy to have her. The other four women who refuse to fight and decide their own destiny, Moku will return them to the tribe.

Moku dragged Anna who was still unconscious and laid her down near the bonfire. Moku didn't want Anna to feel cold during the upcoming activities.

Moku started to take off Anna's leather armor.

Her clothes were made of simple materials, a rough and loose light blue cloth covering her stomach without the slightest motif.

A leather belt wrapped around her slender waist and kept the brown trousers in place.

Shows Anna is a simple girl, she prefers to play with the sword than hang out with her peers.

Moku took off Anna's rough and loose clothes.

Bras are not a popular item in the Meer continent or Women in the Meer continent don't need a bra. With the flow of Mana in this world, making the position of men and women equal. Women can be stronger than men.

These women needed clothes that didn't get in the way of them fighting or training. Because of that beautiful and fragile bras were more often worn by noblewomen who preferred to hold a brush for dressing up rather than a sword.

Even though Anna looks cute and fragile she still prefers to hold a sword than a brush to dress up, so Anna doesn't wear a bra but a strofium.

Moku saw the strofium that was tightly tying Anna's breasts. Moku gulped not understanding what was happening.

Moku is not an old virgin.

In his previous life, Moku played a lot of women to release his stress.

But, at this moment...

His body shook violently and felt hot.

His muscles twitched like an epileptic.

His eyes widened as if they wanted to pop out of their sockets.

His hands clenched tightly as if he was holding something very precious.

His breathing began to become irregular like a locomotive that was picking up speed.

Moku like a beast in heat.

"WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED!!??"
