Marcus could feel the new power flowing through him. Marcus picked up Smasher's hammer with one hand and swung it around like it was made of paper. He decided he would keep the hammer.

Now it was time for Marcus to address his new followers. They all looked at him awaiting his words. "Where are the two orcs"

Both the orcs stepped forward one that was injured by Marcus earlier and the other one that retreated.

{Orc lv6, Orc lv7.}

The higher level one was also the one that was injured. " You are now my subordinates how do you to feel about that?"

They both looked at each other not expecting Marcus to ask them a question like that.

"We just feel grateful that lord does not want us executed for raising our weapons at him."

"I don't care about the past all that matters to me is that you are loyal to me now, if not I will show no mercy"

Marcus said the last part quite loud and with a growl to warn all the goblins that he will not accept traitors.

"We remain loyal to the strongest" the orcs replied.

This gave Marcus great joy, as long as he remained the strongest they wouldn't disobey him. Marcus began to walk toward the cave. The cave went back pretty far, Marcus saw the room he was thrown into the first day and he continues on he found many rooms to the side where he guessed the goblins slept. At the end was a giant room with a bed at the center of it. The bed was made up of furs and feathers.

Marcus turned to the uninjured orc "How many goblins are in our clan".

"63 my lord."

"Hmm"

" Order the goblins to form groups of 7"

The Orc left in a hurry. Marcus walked back to the entrance to see the goblins formed up into groups. He numbered them off from 1 to 6.

"Remember what group you are in because starting from today these are your hunting buddies, each day your group will go out to hunt together and gather food for the clan the top three groups that bring back the most kill will be rewarded. The next two will not be rewarded and the last will not be a load to eat that night."

This terrified the goblins. None of them wanted to be the loser. " This starts now."

The sent the goblin running into the forest with their groups. Marcus turned to the two orcs.

"you two will be part of my group. I'm also giving you two names." Marcus looked at the injured one and named him Gimp and the other one Gizmo. Marcus felt bad because he wasn't very good at naming things but the orcs seemed really pleased that they got names.

"Gimp you stay here and count the pray each group catches. Gizmo follow me."

Marcus left in the opposite direction he came back from. Marcus wanted to explore the forest around his new clan cave.

As they traveled Marcus notice that the rabbit population on this side was very low. This put Marcus on edge. But still, they continued on farther away from the cave.

They traveled for an hour when Marcus began to hear sounds on all side of them. They found a clearing and Marcus decided he would stay here until whatever was hunting them showed it's, they didn't have to wait long.

A wolf-like a creature jumped out on all sides of them. There was 15 of them.

{wolf jackal}

These creatures looked like wolves but they had long legs with claws that shined like steel and were very long. The Wolves also were skinnier and their fur was silver. The wolves began to circle them cackling like hyenas.

The cackle sent shivers down Marcus's back. They all were higher than lvl 5 the highest being lvl 9. This one was leading the pack. It made the first strike. Its speed was almost too fast for Marcus to react to Marcus barely ridge it but even so it still sliced through Marcus armor like butter leaving three slices in Marcus's side. The wolves started to cackle again almost like they were mocking them.

This really pissed Gizmo off. In angry for his master being attacked by this lowly wolf. He jabbed at the wolf with his stone spear leaving a small gash on the side of its face. This caused the wolves to focus to be on Gizmo. Marcus didn't want this because if they attack him their claws would thread Gizmo.

Marcus acted as fast as he could jabbing at the wolf with his spear piercing its eye straight to it brain scrambling it. Marcus kicked it flinging the body at a solve causing its body to crumbly. The wolves were fast but fragile. Marcus decided he would switch to his new hammer and to get used to it.

The wolves all focused back on Marcus surrounding him. Marcus tightened his grip on his hammer reading himself for the incoming attacks. This the first one to attack came from his side he jumped up blaming his hammer down with all of his forces crushing the wolves head into paste. The other one didn't give Marcus a break attacking him as soon as he hit the ground. Slicing at his back cutting massive wounds on his back. Marcus replied with a swing on the head level with the wolves in a circle crushing the head of 6 of the wolves. This left 4 wolves in front of Marcus.

Marcus noticed that two of them were gone. He looked over at Gizmo to see him fight two of them by himself. But had already taken series damaged. He had gashes covering his body but he was also doing damage to the wolves making the fight about even as it could be with 2 against 1.

Marcus paid for not paying attention to his enemy tho. The wolves rushed toward Marcus slicing at his midsection and neck slicing both even with his armor. The cut on Marcus's neck started to bleed profusely. Marcus answered their attack with a camera slam into the ground he then ripped it out of the ground flinging rock shard at the wolves slice all over their bodies.

While they were stunned, Marcus rushed at them same his hammer down on one wolves midsection crushing it. He then aimed for another one's head splattering it. The other two were laying on the ground bleeding out not even moving except to breath.

Marcus immediately activated his fire magic and burnt the city on his neck to stop the bleeding. He then looked at Gizmo's fight. He had managed to kill one and was wrapping up high the other one. Marcus didn't want to interfere with his fight because he believed that one should win their own fights and gain their strength with their own hands.

{User leveled up to lv10}

Marcus didn't get an evolution notification he realized that he must have to level up to a higher level to be able to evolve again.

Gizmo killed the last wolf a few minutes after Marcus finished his fight. Marcus decided he would make some new weapons with the wolf claws.

{User created claw knuckles, grade uncommon.}

Marcus created three sets of the knuckles. He decided he would store the rest for later. But he realized he had nowhere to store them and Gizmo needed some armor.

{User created wolf pelt pack. Grade common. User created a see of wolf pelt armor. Grade common.}

He gave the armor set to Gizmo. He looked at Marcus with sparkles in his eyes.

"My lord this one doesn't deserve this great armor."

"You fought a great fight against the wolves and didn't give up even when you were outnumbered. You deserve this armor and more" Marcus said this as he handed him a set of solve knuckles too.

From this moment Gizmo decided he would follow his new lord tell he couldn't walk.

The knuckles that Marcus created we're like gloves with a bone piece going across the hand with three laws sticking out. This allowed the wielder to stab and slice with the knuckles.

Marcus store the pelts, and bones. He then started to eat a couple of the wolves.

{ User gained Wolf instincts. Wolf instincts: give the user an super high awareness of his surroundings.}

Another great skill to add to the collection.

As Marcus was looking at his new skill and Gizmo was getting used to his armor and weapons a creature was in the trees watching them.

It jumped down right in front of Marcus. Marcus jumped back and raised his claws same with Gizmo

{Panda Gremlin lvl 12}

The level told Marcus that this thing must be a tier two monster. The Thing had short legs a long body with lanky arms that had three claws at the end of them. It also had thick fur covering its entire body the fur marking was similar to a panda. On top of its head, it had long and wide ears that came to a point. Its face was simpler to bats but has rows of razor sharp teeth in its mouth.

"This great one wishes to follow greater one" as it said this it flopped down into the familiar worship position.

{Use gained a follower}
