In a vast green mountain range there is a simple business road that passes through a rocky mountain valley. It is named devil's creek road, because of all the murders and robberies that happen on it.
Currently it was almost nightfall, and there was already clinking sounds coming from somewhere on devil's creek. At this moment a group of humans were being besieged by a group of orcs.
These orcs are all above two meters tall and were build like body builders. About forty orcs were currently surrounding about sixteen humans that had supply carriages with them. About ten more orcs were high up in towering trees. Each one was armed with a crossbow, and were currently shooting at the humans.
Except for the orcs holding crossbows, most of the other orcs were holding rusty swords and axes. Most did not even have armor, and were only equipped with leather and fur. Making it possible to see old battle scars on their light green bodies. Only a few lead orcs could be seen wearing chain mail, and their weapons looked sharp and shiny.
On the human side, ten out of the sixteen people wore iron armor. The other five wore chain mail. The lead human was the most heavy equipt. He had a head full of silver long hair and a huge scar on his face. He was wearing full plate armor equipt with a shield and sword in both hands. The other humans all had well maintained weapons, and there were even a few with crossbows shooting back at the orcs.
The biggest surprise however was the young man in the middle holding a staff. Despite looking the weaker in the group, all the orc archers were surprisingly shooting at him. With a wave of his staff flames kept lighting the night sky. All arrows coming from the orcs burned to ashes before they could reach him. Occasionally blue force fields appeared out of nowhere blocking some orcs from charging.
The two sides were fighting fiercely with no side wanting to give in. Occasionally you could see some orcs fall to the ground dead as the young mage unleast lightning arrows from his staff. Burned orc arms, heads and legs lay scattered all over the ground.
On the human side, four to five people lay dead on the ground. With most of them having been split in two by the orc warriors. Meanwhile the silver haired warrior was currently being besieged by two orc warriors. Having lost his shield he kept taking blows to the body. Despite that his armor was surprisingly strong enough to only get dented.
A huge orc came from behind the silver Haired warrior wanting to behead him. Yet he was surprisingly nimble and dodge, before turning around and pushing his sword into the orcs neck.
Seeing this the lead chain mail wearing orc immediately fell back. Looking at the silver Haired warrior he began grinning before shouting at the other orcs:
"Kharag, Vregu, Yagba, Oghata fall back. Uram you shoot human warrior now!"
"Rombaga! rombaga! rombaga" sounds began coming from the trees.
Immediately arrows began flying to the silver haird warrior from all directions. Seeing this the young blond mage began running over to help.
"No! stay there master Ernold. Continue to prepare the jump scroll now."
"But Captain Andrion you..."
"I said no dammit! Go and prepare the jump scroll now!"
Ernold immediately ran back before going into a meditation position. Purple lightning began condensing around him.
Meanwhile arrows kept raining down on Captain Andrion from all sides. The only thing he could do is hide behind his huge shield as he dodge left and right. Seeing an opportunity two orcs rushed up to finish off Andrion. Seeing this andrion threw a faint attack at the leading orc, before dodging and beheading the second orc.
Seeing this action the leading orc immediately dived and grabbed andrions legs. Looking at the scene all the orcs immediately charge full speed at andrions.
At this critical moment, Ernold jumped up before swinging his staff forward.
"Green lighting arrows!"
I saw a green lighting hit all the orcs as it flew in all directions. The leader tried to dodge but he was hit too on his chest. The strike was so hard that it completely destroyed his chain mail armor. All that was left was a huge bloodied Scar on his chest. Seeing what happened the leading orc roared again before running for cover.
Seeing an opportunity Andrion immediately fell back before shouting at his men:
"Retreat! Leave the cargo and get into the jump circle now."
Ernold quickly places his hands on the ground before whispering a spell. Immediately all the charging orcs began sinking into the ground, as green cracks spread out everywhere.
The orcs fell into total disarray as non of them knew what to do. Despite screaming commands the orc leader was completely ignored by them as they fell into panic.
Meanwhile all the humans were currently being surrounded by blue light as the huddled together. Immediately a blue pillar shot into
Seeing that the humans have escaped the orc leader roared in anger. The remaining orcs quickly unstuck themself from the ground, before roaring wildly as they celebrated their victory.
Meanwhile an injured orc laying against a tree was currently shaking his head back and forth. With his eyes closed he kept murmuring to himself.
"Come on Dante wake up. Everything you are seeing is a dream. Wake up dammit! Orcs are not real, Orcs are not real."
Yet, each time he opened his eyes he was stil on the battlefield. What's worse was that he was now an orc. Having learned all that from the dead orc Karru's memories, Dante knew that after he was shot on earth that he has reincarnated. However he kept trying to fight against such a reality despite it being right infront if him.
"Dammit! Looks like I will have to use that system in order to have a chance to get back to earth"
"System! system activate."
"Ding, system booting up." Immediately a panel with all types of boxes appeared inside his mind.
"Ding, Berserking Orc King System has successfully been activated."
"Ding, Host is rewarded with a free skill. Host is rewarded with 1 skill point."
"Ding, character panel opening."

"Ding, Does the host wish to learn Titan Rampage?"
"No!" Dante said in his mind as he looked at all the orcs around him.
If he learned it now he might end up injured, or treated like dinner by all the other orcs. Magic using orcs are a rare breed according to the dead orc Karru's memories, and there have been instances of some orcs being eaten for their powers.
As a result Dante temporarily closed the system before going to the carriges to help out. What surprised Dante the most was how orcs were killing the horses. Not one horse was spared as the orcs were busy chopping them up for food, because orcs saw no use for them. Walking around Dante discovered a dozen steel swords wrapped in an oilcloth. He quickly unwrapped them before snatching a broadsword for himself. Even though he has a sword in his invantory he could not use it. That sword is way to eye catching and would invite unnecessary trouble.
From the memory of Karru's soul, Dante also knew that orcs were simply too poor. They even found it hard to forge weapons for themself. They depended on looting other people's weapons and equipment. This time it seemed that they had a lot of luck, and managed to grabbed a batch of great quality weapons.
The other orcs also rushed forward, and began picking up weapons and armor. Those who did not get anything were about to climb into the carriages, only to hear the roar from the leader shouting from a tree:
"You idiots! Do not touch anything in the carriage it all belongs to the king."
Hearing their king being mention they immediately jumped away in fright. The other orcs slowly began pulling away the carriages into the dark forest. became honest immediately, and slowly drove away a few carriages. As the sky darkened all the orcs all began disappearing into the forest, leaving behind a bloody battlefield with broken weapons and naked human bodies.
...
In a forest on a river bed four fires were currently burning. Lot's of little brown tents could be seen spread out everywhere. Meanwhile almost all the orcs were currently busy roasting horse meat on sticks
With the expection of Dante who was busy roasting little hares. Despite being an orc Dante stil had his human traits. So eating horse for him was not an option. So he choose to hunt and eat hares instead, despite that making him look suspicious to some orcs.
After finishing dinner all the Orcs began going to their tents. The leader had the biggest tent, meanwhile some like Dante had to sleep in trees. Dante took the opportunity to call out the system his skill.
"System, I wish to learn Titan Rampage."
"Ding, Skill initializing."
"Ding, Skill data uploading."
*Titan Rampage: You tear into all enemies directly in front of you leaving them bleeding for 10 seconds. Base rang is 2, 5 meters but can increase the stronger the host gets.
"Ding, Skill successfully learned."
Seeing this Dante was excited, yet just as he felt happy a huge pain spread trough his body. It felt like needles were picking all his joints at the same time.
"Fu... System Fu.. ow dammit." After a few seconds the pain finally stopped.
"Dammit system what the hell was that?"
"Ding, That is just the pain host has to experience when your body binds with a skill."
"Then why did you not tell me before huh?"
"Ding, Host never ask."
"What you... you... Nevermind." Dante immediately closed the system because he felt totally humiliated.
