The Record of Orc Civilization

Moku felt himself being pointed at with the tip of her index finger. Nevare's words were so sharp that he felt like he was being stabbed with a sword. Moku's brow furrowed and his eyes turned serious.

"What do you mean?" Moku asked in a deep voice.

"Moku I know what you're thinking, I know what you want, and that is the thing I fear the most!" Tears welled up in Anna's eyes.

"What do you mean Nevare? You better say it right!" Moku's voice rose.

"Moku you never think about the orcs! You never care about anyone other than yourself! Indeed you seem to care and try to do your best but you do all that only for yourself and for the sake of achieving your goals!" Anna's voice was filled with fear.

"What do you mean Nevare? I fought hard for the orc that is my own family and of course, it would benefit me" Moku was confused.

"No Moku! I know! To you, there is nothing but you! To you, everyone is just a tool to achieve your goals! When those tools are useless then you will throw them away! Tell me the truth Moku, did you feel sad when Laya was killed?" Anna started screaming. Her eyes stared straight into Moku's eyes waiting for him to tell another lie.

Moku gasped, he was surprised by Nevare's question. Moku didn't know what to say. He was annoyed by Laya's death but it was only a 'What a shame' case. He didn't feel sad he just felt that Laya would one day become a strong orc and with his intelligence, Laya could become the commander of the Moku army. He instead hoped that it was Swa who was killed instead of Laya, simply because Swa didn't look more promising than Laya.

But Moku will never admit that he has not had any feelings for a long time. "Of course, I feel sad, Laya is my blood brother! To orcs, they are the closest family!" Moku rejected Nevare's accusation with a loud voice.

Anna just smiled hearing Moku lie, the fear in her heart was getting bigger "Moku, you know if I know you're lying! We are two bodies with one heart. I know what you're thinking like you know what I'm thinking.

Moku, You are cold-hearted. You will not hesitate to sacrifice everything even yourself to achieve your goals. I don't know what you want but I know if you are willing to pay anything to make it happen!

You would sacrifice the sylphs for that!

You would sacrifice the goblins for that!

You will sacrifice the alraune for that!

You would sacrifice the girls for that!

You would sacrifice Nerphyl for that!

You would sacrifice Nezena for that!

You would sacrifice the orcs for that!

You would sacrifice Nesh for that!

And in the end, you will sacrifice me too!

Oh.. KuMoku the strongest Monster! Tell me the truth, is all this really for orcs?" Anna's voice boomed through the entire tent.

This is Anna's true fear, she is afraid that she will only become one of the bodies on the pile of corpses that are Moku's ladder to achieve his dream.

She began to feel Moku's true nature after Moku kept her transformation into an orc a secret but Anna didn't pay attention to it because maybe Moku just wanted to give her a silly surprise.

Moku's absence for a month made Anna rethink this fear, she thought that she had been dumped but Moku came home and seduced her so that she calmed down.

After that Moku went back and did not keep his promise about the time when he returned. Plus he came home with an elf in his arms. It made Anna's fear bigger. But she still believes that Moku loves her and if the time comes when Moku will sacrifice her to achieve his goals, Anna believes she already has the strength to fight back.

But after the birth of Nash, Anna knew she couldn't escape Moku's grip. Her love for her child will not let Anna go anywhere without that boy. Anna could only hope that her fear was just overthinking.

However... Moku's reaction to Laya's death made Anna sure that she was not just overthinking but that it was a reality of Moku's true nature. He didn't seem the least bit sad about Laya's death he just felt disappointed like someone who was disappointed to have lost a silver coin in a bag full of gold coins.

Moku gasped, he almost took a step back because of Nevare's words. But his shame made Moku furious, with a face full of anger Moku shouted "Then what if I did it for myself?

ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ

I am the Ku! I am the chief of the Dawnmist Tribe! I will be the king of all monsters! I made the orcs who used to only be able to fight by banging their heads into warriors with great martial arts skills! I made those who live in secluded places and hide like rats into warriors who dare to take up arms in front of mages!

I am the one who made the orcs great!

It should be a matter of pride for them to die because of me! It should be obligatory for them to be killed on my orders! It should be a joy for them to submit to me!

I'm the one who gave them everything!

What I want is what the orcs want!

The path I take is the path the orcs take!

I am the orc and the orc is me!"

Moku's voice was so loud and filled with emotion that the tent seemed to vibrate. His red eyes stared at Nevare who was cowering in fear.

"How dare you accuse me! Aren't you also doing the same thing? You're right, we are two bodies with one heart. I know what you're thinking just like you know what I'm thinking.

Oh.. Nevare.. or should I call you Anna? Because you never once thought of yourself as a Nevare! You call yourself Anna, not Nevare! Even though you answered when called Nevare, you never thought that your current name is Nevare!

Do you know what Nevare means?

You never considered yourself as an orc. You just feel like you're still a human with orc abilities! The only reason you stay in this tribe is that you feel that you have a greater chance of becoming a mage when you are with orcs than living among humans.

Do you know what Nevare means?

You are angry because orcs are fighting mages not because you are afraid of casualties on the orc side but because you never thought that orcs, these disgusting monsters can win over the great mage you idolize!

'orcs are not ready to face the mage'? Heh! for you, orcs will never be ready to face a mage! There's no way a monster hated by the world can win over a human of mana species, right?!

But guess what!? I kill them all! Not just any mage, but a Mana Child with level 4 constellation mage, he who you call Mana God!" Moku rolls Deak's head towards Anna. Deak's head reach Anna's toes, his eyes were still wide showing his disapproval of being killed by an orc.

Similar to the previous Moku, Anna gasped and took two steps backward. Her hand covered her mouth, the tears were flowing from her eyes uncontrollably. Moku's words hurt her more than her fear.

"Look at your dreams! Look at your idol mage! I cut off his head and he cried for help from his teacher! When the teacher comes I will behead the teacher even though he is the strongest human being! Your dream is just a fucking trash!

Do you know what Nevare means?

It was a name that could only be given to the first-ever progenitor queen of all races, as a testament to her power and legend that was recorded by all the monsters of that race! Nevare means Progenitor Queen!

I made you the progenitor of all the female orcs that will exist throughout the history of our civilization! I give you the glory that I will never get! I give you dominion over all the female orcs that will exist throughout the history of our civilization! I share my absolute ruler with you!

When I become the king of monsters then you will also become the queen of monsters! Rule with me in the first civilization of monsters this world has ever seen!

But look at you! Just a spoiled girl who keeps dreaming of becoming a mage! How small your dreams are! What a stupid hope you have!" Moku caught his breath. He looked at Anna and just realized that his first love was already kneeling on the ground.

Moku realizes that Anna is just an ordinary 17-year-old girl. During her life she lived comfortably under the protection of her parents, never feeling the true cruelty of this world. She didn't understand the burden she was carrying and didn't know what to do. So it is only natural that Anna is still very... very innocent.

Guilt dampened Moku's anger, but he hardened his heart because he had to quickly awaken Anna to her true duty "I am indeed someone who will sacrifice everything to achieve my goals! But the sacrifice must be following the values possessed by the victim. I give you the name Nevare, Don't you realize how precious you are to me?"

Moku took a deep breath, turned around, and stepped out of the tent.

When he wanted to open the curtain of the tent, Anna's sobs sounded "Did you ever love me?"

Moku stopped, without turning he said in a low voice "I love you but I need Nevare more than Anna"

Moku continued his steps leaving Anna who was still curled up and crying.

Sobs filled the deserted tent.
