Resumen

Xiao Chen was once a great soldier of Huaxia known for his strange, unique but effective tactics and plans during operations. He would always assume command and orchestrate highly-dangerous missions and would lead his unit to success. He was known for being a great commander which made his military rank soar, from being a young lieutenant freshly graduate from the academy to becoming one of the youngest general that Huaxia had ever seen. Sadly though his military career was cut short when he was deeply involved in the older generals politics. He died a tragic death when he was murdered by the men who he trusted so much and considered his brothers. His soul wandered through the river of time and space still seeking vengeance and was soon swallowed up by a swirling light. He soon found himself in the body of a monster or that's what others consider him to be. He had a hulking figure pack with muscles,towering nearly 7ft tall, a pair thick tusks jutting out from his mouth and lupine ears along with the great desire for battle welling up inside him. He begins his new journey as a green hulking monster or an orc as what his kind was called, a monster born for war and lived for war.

Chapter 1Chapter 1

Xiao Chen stood alongside his kind, their number in tens of thousands standing in a messy formation, ready for battle.

He was standing in the third row or maybe fourth or fifth row, he can't figure it out since they were all lined up in a disorganized manner.

Far in the distance, he could see their enemies, neatly forming a true battle line. Boasting a complete set of metal armor and towering shields, they stood in a disciplined manner, unlike his kind.

He look to his right and left and saw his kind, green skin, some brownish-red and greyish brown, with humongous weapons made of anything that they can get their hands on either self-made or looted from someone else.

Xiao Chen looked at his weapon, a fine metal sword that was too short for his frame and a shield made of wood roughly held together by nails, he wanted a better shield but he wasn't able to make or get a better one since his colleagues would always snatch away the best from anyone weaker than them and unluckily Xiao Chen was one of the weakest.

He was still young according to the age depicted by the system that accompanied his reincarnation, a system made for battle specifically.

It gave him missions to accomplish and rewarded him with points which then can buy things from the system store, be it magic spells, weapons, abilities, talents, knowledge, and other things.

Someone or something had reincarnated him in the body of a young dying orc after a disastrous defeat. He stared at his meager 500 points and excitement welled up in him as he stared at his mission.

There was likely only a slight chance for him to accomplish the last mission, so he focused on getting more kills.

He gripped his sword tightly and prepared his shield for any sudden attack and they unleashed surely enough a barrage of arrows towards them. Xiao Chen crouched down a little with his shield angled against the trajectory of the enemy arrows.

Howls of pain soon ensued after the sound of flesh being pierced and some occasional thudding sounds of arrows being deflected or blocked.

The enemy archers unceremoniously continued the barrage. Xiao Chen's allies died in great numbers and after a few seconds, the chaotic formation moved and charged towards enemy ranks.

It incensed Xiao Chen on how his kind does battle. They would just charge forward towards the enemy in a mad rush, engaged in melee, and then that's it, no strategy at all, simple but sometimes effective.

He soon joined the chaotic melee scoring his first kill in the battle, he hacked at his enemies with all his strength and overpowered them with raw strength, sometimes he would even tackle them with his shield or slam them with it and kick them away with his humongous foot.

The battle progress in utter chaos, every orc for himself, no formation at all while their enemies confront them in groups, trapping them with their shields and stabbing them with spears or swords while they trapped them.

Xiao Chen took a brief look at the battlefield and surely enough, the enemy cavalry was charging through their flanks again like the previous battles, cutting down and trampling every orc in their path.

The battle lasted for hours in favor of the enemy. Xiao Chen was preparing himself for the inevitable defeat and was inching back away from the center of the battle.

The enemy mages soon began their assault after their arrival, bombarding them with spells. The orcs soon found themselves in a very tough spot as they were being bombarded with spells and arrows and being squashed by the enemy infantry in front and the enemy cavalry at their flanks.

The orc commander was quickly surrounded and beheaded after mindlessly charging forward deep into enemy ranks. Xiao Chen didn't know whether this was common among orc commanders or was just some coincidence.

He took part in two battles before and the same thing happened thrice already, their commander mindlessly charging forward, got surrounded, then killed.

The orc's number soon dwindled and the unavoidable retreat happened. Xiao Chen, being away from the center of battle, scurried away quickly as soon as he saw his kind retreat.

He made use of the spell Haste, which increased his running speed, which he bought from the system store for a whopping 1500 points. He wouldn't want to be killed by the pursuing cavalry like most of his retreating companions.

He saw the towering trees up ahead and charged in a mad sprint; he knew that the enemy cavalry wouldn't risk pursuing them in the forest in great numbers for the vegetation of the forest will hinder their mobility and they wouldn't want to go toe to toe with an orc alone for it had been tested many times that only a few men can stand against them in a one-on-one confrontation.

Crawling inside a thick bush, Xiao Chen sighed in relief as he escaped. He cared little about his companions. Every orc was on his own, survival of the fittest or more likely the fastest.

He checked his missions

Xiao Chen grinned in satisfaction and ignored the failed mission since he had no high expectation for it to be completed, but suddenly a new mission prompt appeared

New Mission

*Gather the Surviving Orcs

(The higher the number of orcs gathered, the higher the reward)

Xiao Chen stared at the new mission and was considering if he should do it or let it fail since there was no penalty for failing it unlike the missions given to him before.

Quick rapid heavy steps sounded near him as he saw an orc trying to outrun two enemy cavalry knights, the orc was skinny and short in stature for an orc, roughly or barely 6 ft tall, his body was littered with wounds but he kept on running, but soon tripped in a thick root of a tree.

With no second thought, Xiao Chen threw his sword at the first rider successfully killing him and he rammed the following rider's horse with his shield, he exerted all his strength and successfully toppled the speeding horse from the right flank, sending the poor rider in the air.

Crashing down hard, the rider gasped for air as the impact knocked the wind out of his lungs and his horse neighing in pain as one of its legs got broken after Xiao Chen's tackle.

Sprinting forward quickly, Xiao Chen choked the rider with his muscular arms, suffocating him. The rider soon thrashed around wildly as he tried to break free from Xiao Chen's thick arms, his face turning purple and his eyes pleading for mercy but Xiao Chen ignored it all, he just gripped the rider's throat firmly and applied more force until finally the sound of a neck being broken sounded.

Xiao Chen loosened his grip and left the rider, picking up the spear that the rider wielded. He broke the rider's neck but felt no remorse at all; he got used to taking lives already long ago since he was still a human.

He thrust the spear towards the noisy horse and it thrashed around wildly but Xiao Chen just pulled out the spear and thrust it forward again and again until the horse was silent.

He just brutally killed a living thing, blood splattered everywhere, his legs, torso, and face covered in blood, making him look more menacing than ever.

He stared at the skinny orc who he just saved. With his threatening aura, the skinny orc bowed down, followed by a sudden system prompt.

Congratulations on acquiring your first subordinate!

Unlocking Commander's Function

Unlocking the Army Tab

Xiao Chen got surprised but soon felt elated. He now had someone under him. He commanded the skinny orc to loot the bodies of anything useful as he started checking out the system's new function.

He seeks a simpler life, and wishes to experience the warmth of a family. But often we do not get what we want, we get what we deserve. And his peaceful times soon end, as war storms Japan, and in order to protect his peace, he must conquer. Join Gengyo as he walks a blood-stained path toward absolute domination, seizing control of Japan. //Brief extract from one of the battle scenes. Written from the point of view of a samurai landowner, Niwa Nakatane. The hooves grew closer to Nakatane's position and their beating hearts grew faster. Perhaps they could simply remain like that, hiding behind the tree, and allow these barbarians to pass? That way could they not return home to their families? Could they not give their dear wives one final kiss, or share one final story with their enthusiastic youth? Nakatane knew exactly what they were thinking. And as the ground rumbled, and the mounted beasts howled, he was the first man to step out from the trees and make his stand. "OORAH!" Possessed by a furious energy, he thrust out with all the aggression of a war god, puncturing Ochi's stallion through the chest with the sharpened wooden point of his lengthy spear. The mammoth fell from his mount clumsily, his head colliding with a nearby tree root. He ceased to move, and a pool of blood began to form around him. "ARM THESE SPEARS MEN! VICTORY SHALL BE OURS!" He stood in front of the charge of over 150 horsemen, alone. But he did not give a single inch of ground. He met the charge of the next man in line, roaring vengefully, possessed by all the rage and power that had accumulated in his body over these past years. The horsemen shrieked like a pack of hyenas, fanning out, each eager for a piece of the man who had brought down their leader. //I did not create the book cover.

Lord Raven's Court

In the year 556 of the Runtallian Calendar, a war broke out in the eastern frontier of the Kingdom of Runtallia between the eastern overlord, Duke Gaverone Walruse of Regalia, and the barbarian chief-thane known as Dariun Drunzelle of the Shiradonii tribe, one of the Four Great Tribes of Norsmund, a nation that borders the Kingdom, deemed to be the land of brutes and savages. As the Duke of Regalia marches with his army to defend the disputed land of Kurlon, the barbarians have taken such an opportune moment to launch another incursion near the eastern border of Regalia near the town of Flendle, with the intention of dividing his army. However, despite accepting the town and the surrounding local lords' territories as lost cause in the war in favor of Kurlon– a newly discovered territory bountiful with veins of iron and other minerals– the Duke tasks his third son, Lord Velmund Walruse, along with his retinue, the Order of the Raven Knights, to fend off the attack. Now faced with the plight of defending the border town against a 5,000-strong Norsmundi army with his few yet skilled knights, along with an ill-equipped and undermanned militia, Lord Velmund has no choice but to fulfill his duty as a noble, relying upon his wits and his few but capable retainers to survive his first battle at the tender age of sixteen summers and winters. Contrary to his timid, youthful, and innocent appearance, however, lies his sly and scheming nature, evident by his fondness of dark magical arts specializing in illusion spells. Nevertheless, he himself has no idea of what he is capable of, and what he is destined to become. Meanwhile, further east at the frontier with Norsmund, a plot hatches to ensnare the Duke within the clutches of his treacherous vassals. Not only his life is threatened by these schemes, but his sons Theo and Varus as well. With this scheme put into motion, the Duke and Velmund's siblings, Varus and Theo, would taste fate's twisted humor, with the former meeting his demise in a blaze of glory amidst the field of battle, and the latter two vanishing in incidents shrouded by mysteries. With the death of the patriarch of Regalia and his heirs' disappearance, the young lord who was initially third in line for the succession of the ducal seat became its temporary occupant. And thus, the tale of him and his court begins… CHAPTER RELEASE: January 1st at 12:00 UTC
