How I Meet Your Mother

The sun began to disappear on the western horizon.

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

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

The darkness and the world of monsters and beasts of the night came with it.

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 stored food, enough that they wouldn't have to hunt the next day.

However, like a good housewife, Moku didn't want their supplies to run out, so the orcs would 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 was stuck in the middle and it became the main pillar that was used to shape the hut.

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

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

He 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 toward 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.

The Orcs lived in tents, the hut where the food was stored was the only building standing in the Dawnmist Tribe. They had a nomadic life. Foraging for food and hiding from external threats were the reasons why orcs had no fixed abode.

Their tents were 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 considered 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 did not use wood but bamboo that was bent to form a framework like an igloo.

Then he strengthened the walls with wood and fastened them together with the best ropes. Moku then used palm fiber and dried leaves which he sewed together to form a rectangle. Then he arranged and tied it so that it became a roof.

The inhabitants of the Bog Forest were not  afraid of storms or strong winds, because the tall trees would protect them from these things, but the rainfall in this forest was quite high.

Moku covered the floor of his tent with dry leaves and animal skins. Due to this the tent was 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, sleeping would not be complete without a bolster pillow.

Moku entered his tent and didn't care about the other occupants. He then took off his leather armor and 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 about 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. The girl screamed in fear while asking another girl for help in a language that Moku didn't understand. But the other girls didn't move and just stared at her with pity.

Moku understood this gesture which meant 'at least not me'. Moku smirked.

Humans in any world were still selfish creatures.

Moku watched this girl. Her chestnut hair looked shabby and limp from the cold of the Bog forest, but it could also be the result of the owner being under stress. Her quivering brown eyes were well placed in their sockets, as she watched Moku in fear. Her knees seemed to be shaking and holding her slender body. This girl was not skinny, she had good body proportions.

It was 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 clothing.

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 this universe.

Moku wiped the chestnut-haired girl's tears with his thumb. But the girl's tears did not stop flowing. Moku lowered his hand slowly toward 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 have understood his gesture, so she nodded and looked deeply at Moku.

Then she started to look right and left.

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

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

"Eh?" Moku let out a confused voice.

She looked frightened by Moku's 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 that Moku was a young orc who felt pity for the fate of the girls that were kidnapped by the 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 chestnut-haired girl looked at Moku with wide eyes. He 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 your life. But I just want to make sure that you are always healthy, and ready to give birth, whether you like it or not!"

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

Moku patted her shoulder like a friend who was thanking another friend for a good joke and went to another girl. He didn't pay attention to her face. He untied the chains that tied her neck and hands and went to the next girl.

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

He 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.

To achieve his dream Moku practiced every martial art, from bare hands to cold weapons, and even hot weapons he had mastered. Even so, Moku mastered the 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, that were tightly in their sockets, stared at Moku's red eyes fearlessly.

She only appeared scared, in reality she was looking for loopholes, weaknesses, and opportunities that she could 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 leather armor or perhaps because the fire of hope in her eyes was not extinguished.

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

(Para Comment: Anna)

Moku had 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 he said.

She was confused as she did not understand what Moku was talking about. Moku smiled, and then pointed at himself again. "Moku!"

"Who?"  And he pointed to her in 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 the animal's skull.

Moku took water from the barrel and drank it, then took another sip. He then walked to Vivi and gave her some water.

Vivi shook her head but Moku kept staring. Vivi was scared and 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, and when the fire grew slightly, Moku added a twig to it.

The girls watched as Moku made fire. After the fire started burning, Moku arranged stones around the fire.

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

Moku didn't say anything and went 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 that the girls had not eaten their dinner. So he sat by the fire and took a skewer and brought it in 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 that 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, the other girls also began eating.

Seeing this 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 he sheathed the other one at his waist.

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

Anna felt Moku's gaze as he looked at her.

"Anna" Moku pointed at her then pointed at the sword in the ground.

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 named Anna had smooth white skin, her chubby face looked cute along with her small nose.

There was no sign that she was a fighter. But Moku had never used facial beauty to recognize a fighter .

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, and Moku released all the chains that bound her. Then backed away slowly.

Moku set a distance of 3 meters from Anna.

He then 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. She spread her legs shoulder-width apart and raised her sword to her 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, and 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 each other. Their eyes remained focused on the enemy in front of them, and they studied each other's moves.

Then Moku lunged forward and thrust his sword.

Anna parried it easily. But Moku didn't stop the attacks; he quickly launched more stabs at her.

Anna parried and dodged it nimbly.

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

Moku backed away, seeing that his stab combo attack failed.

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, and 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.

She tried hard to keep her sword, but it caused her hand to be carried away by her 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?" He said in his body language.

Suddenly the four 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 was not a man who liked to impose his will, especially on women.

Moku who used to live in a matrilineal family respected his mother, and because of that Moku didn't want to force the four women to have sex with him.

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

Moku gave them the choice to fight and determine their 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 valued 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 the legitimacy to have her. The other four women who refused to fight and decide their own destiny, Moku would 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 covered her stomach without the slightest motif.

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

This showed that Anna was a simple girl, who prefered to play with the sword than hang out with her peers.

Moku took off Anna's rough and loose clothes.

Bras were not a popular item in the Meer continent or Women in the Meer continent didn't need a bra. With the flow of Mana in this world, the position of men and women were equal. Women could even be stronger than men.

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

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

Moku saw the strofium that was tightly tying Anna's breasts. Moku gulped as he did not understand what was happening.

Moku was not an old virgin.

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

But, at this moment...

His body shook violently and he 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 was like a beast in heat.

"WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED!!??"
