Chapter 12: Differences...

[Ding!]

[Obtained the Mission, 'For the Queen'!]

[Deal with the Grole Queen...]

[Rewards: Depends on your Actions...]

Seeing this, Alex had a strange expression as he saw the reward part. this clearly means that he has more than one option in dealing with the Queen.

While he was musing with his thoughts, an almost brown skinned goblin in rough black clothes came into the Throne room in a shaky manner before looking around like he didn't know what to do.

Lovan's face tensed as well when he set his eyes on this small Goblin, so Alex inspected this Goblin with the system.

{Name: Haji Blackmoon}

Race: Goblin

Class: -

Level: 4(-)

Power rating: 622

Relationship: Lovan's Son, Blackmoon clan member, Ironbark.}

______________ _____

With a little surprise he looked at Lovan with what he thought was a teasing expression.

'So the little alchemist still had time to set out to play huh'

'hmm, and he seems to attach importance to family like Urim, right! does this have something to do with intelligence or is it something else?...I have to find out more...but why is this Goblin so brown and small, could it be because it's still young?'.

While Alex kept on having a one man discussion within his head, Lovan had hurriedly enquired on what brought the little Goblin here. Immediately, he sent it away like he was scared Alex would it him.

"the others have awakened" The alchemist hurriedly said, not giving Alex the chance to ask about the little Goblin. This didn't surprise Alex as he felt the Goblin didn't trust him yet, after all he had just taken over his home in a somewhat forceful manner.

"Let's go and take a look" was all Alex said as he stood up and headed out once more.

He and Lovan soon got to where all the newly evolved Goblins and Orcs were now standing. Alex could already notice their changes and checked their statuses with the system immediately.

When he was done, he breathed a sigh of relief as there were no Great orcs or Orc Hunter as those two would have been a major problem right now.

Out of the now eleven evolved orcs, there were three lesser Orcs like Olog, one Orc Shaman which was Dabok while the remaining seven including Urim were Orc warriors.

Overall he was pleased with this set up, the Orc warriors were now taller, though their body shapes remained the same, their bones became denser and even Dabok looked younger with less wrinkles. the Old Orc couldn't stop grinning at this point, he kept on looking at Alex while repeatedly nodding his head.

And they all had hair!, Although not that much yet but it was there. he never read about Orcs having hair in the novel and it was the first difference he had noticed between the things he had read.

'I need more research, what else could have changed or what else was different.' the engines in His head spun furiously as he looked at the Goblins that evolved as well. When he was done, he couldn't help but wonder why creating a settlement had made all this creatures evolve at the same time.

Out of the twenty four Goblins that evolved, there were only four that evolved into something that system had tagged Tinkerers when the Novel called them 'Gobu'.

This Goblins were more like Lesser Orcs whom might end up evolving into something that work as serfs in the Horde. their Evolution pathways come with the classes serf, Goblin farmer, Researcher or Engineer which is a major gamble as they could fall into any of this paths.

'Is it possible to influence their evolution by making them perform certain actions... like how the system said mine had been. but even still, they can't select option like me or could they?...Haa, more questions' He continued his inner monologue.

The remaining twenty turned out to be Goblin warriors which was great, especially with the Grole spiders Quest.

The new Evolved soon felt his presence and couldn't help but awe at the Oppressive feeling he was giving them by just standing there.

Unknown to them, due to them evolving, they were able sense the difference in their evolution path more than when they hadn't taken the step.

Alex then approached them while nodding his head in approval and they couldn't help but feel the need to respect him, after all their evolution most likely had something to do with the mysterious duel.

"We greet the Great Chieftain!!!" Urim was once again The first to yell, forcing the others to shout out the same words.

Alex couldn't help but smile as he stared at Urim before looking at the others.

'their intelligence has risen exponentially, ah how I look forward to the future.' was his thought.

Fairchild Mansion,

Thann's End City,

In a dark, oppressive Study filled with thick woody scent of the Black veiled tree which was used to make the shelves.

it gave a calming feeling and had a slight chilly feeling to it, so anyone walking passed the Hall way of this area would feel a constant chill on their skin.

There were tiny sized mana light stones everywhere one looked in the study, for lightning the place.

this said Study room was right in the center of the Fairchild Mansion and was the most guarded place with not only Guards but Arrays as well, this is a place where no reasonable living human being would bother to come steal unless you were nothing short of a high human.

The sky had darkened with the coming night, and the mana light stones lit up the study, giving a refreshing feeling to those inside.

light leaked through the window in the side of the room. seeing this, the various staffs around the Mansion could not help but shake their heads.

Davis, who had just transmigrate into the world and survived a dark ritual, was sitting in front of a Black veiled wooden table. There were magic books and maps unfolded in front of him, which he had been silently going through. Although he had arrived in this world three nights ago, the disorientation of his memories still gave him some headaches.

he would sometimes get distracted as the scenes of from back on Earth and those of the body's previous owner would continually flash randomly through his eyes.

his brows knitted into a tight frown. He couldn't control himself and clenched his fists. He wanted to scream out in anger, but he took a deep breath and held still for a while. After a long time, he finally managed to suppress the urge.

This had been happening frequently for the past three days and his family had begun to worry.

This world was no longer the Earth that he was familiar with, and the body he was now inhabiting was not his original body either. It once belonged to a noble Apprentice Knight, whose name was Davis. In brief, he had a lot of catching up to do when it comes to sword play as the previous owner was hailed as a sword genius. luckily even though he had messed up during his practice with the home instructor, it was tagged as him still experiencing fear from the attack.

On the bright side, the muscle memory was still there so things were beginning to feel more natural.

Retaining nothing from his original life, he traveled from a place where magic didn't exist, and came to this world of magic, where foul demons and strange creatures freely roamed with human who had surpassed the level of mortals.

This world was a place where one stood at the top by becoming stronger. The process of adapting overwhelmed Davis, such that he almost ended it all right there after finding out so many things, but when he looked at the expression of his new family, he couldn't as he felt that it wasn't the right thing.

His mother had always preached kindness and he could feel the love this people showered him with.

after merging the memory fragments that was left in this body, He had gained a basic linguistic ability. Otherwise, just with the weird pronunciations and grammar in this world, along with the completely different alphabet, which looked like a battle between of what looked like lighting bolts and dotted lines, not to mention those that had the shape of sword slashes, and this was just the 'basics'.

In this place, he never dared to expose his real identity for various reasons. He could only become Davis Fairchild.
