Mark had awoken from the bright rays of light that caressed his face for the little gap of the ceiling in the cave above him as while the physical strain of evolving just yesterday then the sudden test of his abilities against an orc, then a couple of hours of hunting for food was more tiring than he anticipated and the sight that Silk showed had affected him more mentally including the idea that it was possibly a reincarnator.
He got up with a good stretch for his body before heading out... to a spectacle that made him slightly regret recruiting Silk as a companion, as the originally 2 monsters that were tied in a turtle knot had increased!
Mark was truly tempted to get some answers but quickly changed his mind as the female goblin seemed to have made a mess of herself as she had a blissful look on her face while drooling with a tongue hanging out.
Yeah, let's leave them be...
WAS what came to mind from this 'unique' sight to wake up to, thus he headed out only to catch a glimpse of Silk shoving something big up another monster's arse...
Mark's skin crawled from the sound the monster made as he recognized it as the second monster that Silk had 'tamed', before the eight eyes of Silk had locked on to him that seemed to have gleamed for a moment there whether if it was from the sunlight or from its secret intentions, He ain't going through that hell similar to his ex-girlfriend made him briefly experience.
NOPE! NOPE! NOPE! NOPE!
MARK WAS GETTING THE FUCK OUT OF THERE!!!
Silk, on the other hand, upon seeing Mark make a hasty retreat felt down as it was hoping to get some praise for its hard work, only to pump itself up thinking that it wasn't enough, failing to realize that it was scaring the hell out of Mark due to a really bad experience in his previous life.
Since 10 monsters weren't enough let's double, no, triple the AMOUNT~
As even the Wolves that Mark brought were spared from the experience, not that Silk can help it, the ability that the spider had were these.
Thread manipulation level 5 (tier limit)
Sedative bite level 5 (tier limit)
Lesser regeneration level 5 (tier limit)
Dominatrix level 4
there was one more skill but that would spoil a few things so back to the last skill, Dominatrix allowed the spider to grow an army through pain and pleasure, the higher the level the less time it needed to spend on 'taming' a monster, especially if it was a tier higher than it~
yes, thanks to its unique skill that complimented the others the spider was about to evolve hoping to help its savior as monsters can be pretty blunt and honest to a fault, meaning that Mark had gained something valuable without realizing it!
However, as Mark left Silk to its instruments, there was a buzzing sound that could be heard from a distance but the spider was too distracted to notice as it shoved the indescribable object again as the monster released a moan of mixed emotions.
Mark decided to spend his efforts in growing his skills as much as possible to ensure his survival as this world was one where you can gain some strange or bizarre yet powerful skills so he set his sights on another group of monsters within the area.
Ogres.
It turns out in this world these monsters looked very similar to humans just that they have horns that glow either red or blue or the occasional purple and love to eat meat especially that of humans as they were completely carnivores, if Mark had to describe them correctly the line bloodthirsty ravenous savages seemed to fit them perfectly while they do have tribes, they were closer together compared to orcs as their openness and actions made him think of the south places of a certain country.
they used clubs made from bones and wood as these monsters were having some kind of contest now as the younger ones were fighting within a large ring at the center of their tribe.
An ogre's age could be found out by the length of their horns and as for why it was easy to assume that the young ones were fighting was due to the fact that their horns were short and seemed squishy from a distance.
Mark pondered to himself as he was wondering.
"How did I know that?"
but he decided to put that at the back of his mind as a long-horned ogre that had a swimmer's lean frame also a good number of scars as it roared out loud as if cheering on the young ones as their fight became more ferocious.
Mark, on the other hand, was confused at the moment as this ogre that was the leader of the tribe, felt weak, weaker than the orc that he fought against yesterday making him believe that either it was trying to trick or bait him, or it was really weaker than a common orc much to the misconception that Mark had about an average orc's strength.
That, as well as the fact that he didn't consider, this ogre was a new tribe leader of a new tribe that was recently made.
But Mark didn't know that so this misunderstanding will bite him on the ass later.
He snuck closer to the tribe choosing one of the strong-looking males while using lurk with a simple stab of his claws that sunk into the unfortunate monster as its body turned limp from the attack before it disappeared into the darkness around it.
While Mark was feeling disappointed he also noticed something his lurk was already ready to level up so he clicked his tongue in annoyance since he had forgotten about it, so he quickly retreated to make the skills that were ready to go to the next stage without any possible annoyances to disturb him.
Not realizing that his sneaky actions failed to escape the eyes of the long-horned ogre that was now gathering their numbers to stalk him.
Mark was making his way back to the cave all while mentally preparing himself against the mischief that Silk was enjoying, only to reach a sight that made things slow down so much as a humanoid bug was currently stepping on a certain spider while holding a female goblin by the neck, with the other monsters, that silk was taming, decimated across the area.
All while a buzz-filled voice spoke to him with a hint of madness and arrogance.
"Zo you Fi-FINALLY ZhOw uP, No nEEd zo k-Keep Zese pesZ AlIvE!"
There was no warning or even a chance given to Mark...
as this bug man broke the goblin girl's neck, and squashed Silk under his foot.
It was then that Mark lost control of himself as he roared out loud in an emotion that he hasn't felt in some time...
Pain...
*RRRRRRRAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWRRRRRRRRR*
