Uthred soon understood what the new system functions were. It is like the War functions. It doesn't take too long to get used to them.

"What your name's?"

Uthred said to both of the orcs that he had just saved. Observing them, he noticed that the skinny orc's mark on his chest distinguishes a newbie warrior from a real warrior.

"Winug Orbumog, my chief. My friends call me Wug. You can call me whatever you want."

The skinny orc said with his head bowed down while thumping his right fist on his left chest as a sign of respect.

"Vitgurat Badburz, but my friends call me Gurat."

The powerful orc said but with his head held high, thumping his right fist on his left chest.

"Arm yourselves properly and follow me."

Uthred beckoned them as he turned around deeper towards the forest, where sounds of battle could be heard.

He had just been reborn and had already taken part in a large battle and tons of small ones while fighting in this battle; he didn't want to take part but knew he had to because of the system and his quest to become the ORC MONARCH!

He ignored the system missions that he had suffered while fighting small battles. They had penalties he indeed suffered; he had experienced tiredness unseen constant lightning gripping pains that jolted while in battle he was even forced to tear the head off of one human and drink the blood just to curve the thirst penalty he had received.

But by then, Uthred had understood why orcs were forced to battle endlessly because if they wouldn't, they would suffer. The feeling of hunger and thirst for food and water they could quell. But the feeling and starvation for battle one could not suppress. Sometimes different orc groups and tribes would wage battle against each other to satiate their hunger for the THRILL OF THE BATTLEFIELD!

According to the words of the oldest shamans of their race, it was the price to be paid for their FIRST GOD TO ASCEND! Since their previous world was destroyed by spatial storms that emerged, destroying their ancient lands and peaceful lives. They sought the aid of their ancestors and were forced to Ascend to GODHOOD and the surrounding spirits, but the price to ascend was high and their only hope of survival. After he ascended to Godhood which caused the shamans to lose their magic and power, the ones that helped who were less likely to lend a hand were frowned upon as warlocks, who achieved their magic through wicked ways.

The warlock practiced life sacrifices of orcs and different races and other atrocious deeds, which most orcs disapproved of since gaining power with the aid of demons instead of their ancestors, and the spirits were dishonorable. Orcs lived unrestrained, only relying on what nature gave and more than what was required, and strength gained by your hands or understanding the shamanic ways was their patch of gaining honor in Orc society.

The different tribes gathered together by the call of the warlocks at the dark plains gathering place for warlocks. There the warlocks summoned their demonic masters, and humongous figures of varying features appeared before the Orc Race.

They had black miasma and ominous auras surrounding them. Some had scales, some with thick furs like the companions and steeds of rocs, the wolves, or wargs, while some had skins of the same features as the orcs but in many color variations. They had eyes that could make even the brave orcs uncomfortable with their gaze, some with tails like snakes and rabbits, Most of them had a set of huge sharp teeth like the predators of the wild. They had horns on their heads and some in different areas like the shoulder and back.
