Yoichi frowned, the orc didn't tell him about the chest nor he told him about the poison, maybe he didn't know, but Yoichi will keep it in mind for now. He left the safe room with the four bottles, two blue and two red, and walked towards the orc who coughed more blood as he internally and externally bled a lot of crimson blood. "So, if i give you this... I'll get what exactly?" Yoichi asked, he needs to know exactly what he would get from this, he also couldn't trust the orc since he didn't tell him about the chest and trap that resided within the chest. "You'll get my help! Didn't i tell you that!?" The orc said a little irritated, Yoichi smirked internally as he then looked expressionless at the orc as he said: "So why didn't you tell me about the chest and the trap inside the chest? Wanted me to get poisoned and die?" The orc expressed visible confusion, but Yoichi kept looking at him expressionless for a few seconds before his face wore a scorn, as if he was disgusted with the orc, he said: "So you tried to deceive me and when i was weak and dying you would watch?"

Playing the victim. Not only like this he can see how the orc acts being accused, having someone that he "betrayed" in front of him that "believed" he was betrayed by him and was now "rightfully" angry... How he reacts can show his true nature, and Yoichi can then decide if he will trust him a little bit or should he try to make him swear an oath? Normally in fantasy, there are magical contracts, can he make one with the orc? Or maybe a [Party] System of some kind? He will have to try later.

"Wait!" The orc's eyes widened, he looked at Yoichi with a open mouth, exposing his white teeth and red tongue, the orc's skin was naturally green, but it turned even greener at the thought that Yoichi was poisoned: "Are you alright?" Asking about his condition? Huh, it shows he cares or is better at pretending than Yoichi is. "Why would you care if i am alright or not?" Testing the waters, Yoichi looked at the orc with disdain that made the orc flinch for a second: "Of course i would worry! I promised to help you!" Another opportunity was given, so Yoichi naturally took it with open arms: "Then why didn't you tell me about the poison? Are your words so trustworthy now? Can I really trust you?" At each question, the orc flinched, it seems he was a nice guy as far as Yoichi can see... Maybe has never been scolded before? Or maybe he is a little spoiled? Wait, how old is he? Is he a child still?

"Of course you can trust me!" Oh, he is a little naive. "I will prove to you that you can trust me! I'm sorry I didn't tell you about the chest, it takes time for it to appear again on that room and my brother told me about it, but i forgot to mention it. I'm so so sorry-" Yoichi sighed and got up, giving two of the red and blue potions for the orc, saying: "For now, I'll believe you... But you need to answer my questions now." Internally smirking at the successful subtle manipulation and feeling like he just bullied a child, Yoichi looked away as the orc smiled happily, all his sharp teeth exposing as he smiled... It was quite cute. He quickly chugged the red potion and his injury glowed red for a second before it quickly closed, so it was a HP potion and not poison, good to know.

Yoichi looked at the orc and kept the dagger that was given to him while also looking at the dagger at his [Storage]... He looked down at the blue potion and took a sip from it, immediately he felt the sweet and light sensation of floating before it faded, he looked at his [Status] and soon enough, his mana recovered a little bit and was even regenerating faster than before. "Now." Yoichi said, catching the attention of the orc named Bür. "Bür was it?" The orc nodded happily, his smile was childish, maybe he is a teenager or an adult that was never fully trusted by someone in his life... Quite the sensation of being trusted, knowing someone likes you enough to rely on you makes you unconsciously proud if yourself (If you realize they trust you). "Tell me... Where are we?" The orc tilted his head in a confused manner, like a puppy would do, it made him look cute... Yoichi sighed, how can a 6'8 behemoth of muscle and power look cute?

Bür was, as said, big. He stood tall at 6'8 (it looked like 6'8, maybe more), had scars all over his muscular body, some looked a lot worse than the others, such as one across his chest. Bür had small white tusks that made him look cute to Yoichi's eyes, his arms and legs were large just as his whole body was, and he was wearing almost no armor on his body but leather boots, a cape of some sort, and a few accessories on his body. He would be described as hunk, or beefcake, but he had a gente air around him that made Yoichi think he wasn't truly bad, only intimidating. He must be the younger child of his family!

"We're at the Dungeon!" He smiled as he said: "To be specific, we're at the Ethryl Dungeon, the biggest dungeon that connects all the kingdoms and regions of this continent!" Yoichi was slightly surprised because the orc seemed proud of what he knew. "Regions?" Deciding on asking about the regions, Yoichi watched as the orc took out a dagger and began to draw on the stone. A somewhat rectangular continent, he then divided it by 5 pieces, two big pieces sanding on opposite corners, and three in the middle making a triangular formation. He pointed at the one near him: "This is the Human region, where human live!" he pointed at the triangle and spoke with disgust and anger in his voice: "This is the Three Kingdoms, one is the Beastmen Kingdom, the other is the Elf Kingdom, and the last one is the Dwarf kingdom..."

When he said the word Dwarf, Yoichi noticed the hate, so he decided to ask about it: "Why do you hate Dwarves so much?" Bür huffed, his face clearly showing his dissatisfaction with the question. "Well... You know our God, the God of Orcs, Orkash... He is the God of Protection, Loyalty, and Monsters, there was this dispute among Gods once and the Dwarf God, Midas, cursed the Orcs to never wear armor again... Not that we can't wear it, we can't just make it, and armor durability decreases 50% faster when worn by orcs too, which is because of the curse... So we Orcs focus on the weapons! We can make weapons that can break dwarfish armor easily!" He added to the sentence with pride. Oh, that explains why he is almost naked and was distressed when Yoichi questioned his loyalty... Maybe he can use that.

"So that's why Orcs hate Dwarves... Now, can you please tell me about the last part of the continent?" Bür smiled at Yoichi and used the dagger to stab the last part of the map, the dagger must be really sharp, this proves Orcs focuses on weapons! "This is the Cursed Lands. We're here! This is where most of the monster races live, Orcs, Minotaurs, Nagas, Bugbears, Goblins, Drows, Kobolds, and Gnolls as well! Those little shits are hard to deal with because they live in Dungeons and like to set ambush as well." Yoichi was curious: "Why is it calles Cursed Lands, is there a story behind such name?"

"Well... That's what Humans, Elves, Beastmen, and Dwarves call this part of the continent... It happens that the land was cursed by the Three goddesses of the humans, the Three Sisters, the Nature Goddess of the Elves, and the Beast God of the Beastmen, making this part of the continent almost impossible to live in... But we Orcs are hard to kill!" Bür added with pride, making Yoichi smile slightly at him, Bür also noticed how Yoichi flinched when he mentioned the Three Sisters... Maybe there is a story behind it, but Bür won't ask. "Bür... Can i ask you something?" Bür looked at the human attentively.

The human, who said his name was Yoichi Matsumoto, was in Bür's opinion, adorable. He was small, Bür was small to Orcs standards, most orcs are 7 or 8 feet while Yoichi is inly 5'5! He also looks young, maybe 18 years old? He doesn't have a beard like him, some Orcs have facial hair, but some don't, Bür is happy to see another person without a beard because his father and brother have a beard and he is teased about not having one. Yoichi's skin was white and tender, like he never faced anything bad, which made Bür's mind overflow with protectiveness. He can't help it! This is due to his God, he made normal for Orcs to want to Protect and be loyal, due to his divinities of Protection and Loyalty. Orcs are so loyal they'll die and kill for you or if you want them to.

Yoichi had black hair, which is not normal on humans, Orcs? Yes, humans? No. How does he know that? His father is the leader of his tribe, so he learned a lot about the world, cultures, and history, his brother was never interested on "useless" things like him.

"Would you plead your loyalty to me?" Yoichi asked and Bür's head exploded.

The Orc God, Orksha must be smiling at him! He is so young and yet someone wants him to plead his loyalty! To Orcs, asking to plead their loyalty is like asking them to marry you, if they say yes, they will always be by your side, if they say no you are not worthy of their loyalty. Multiple Orcs can plead their loyalty to a person, which makes you the best candidate for orcs to plead their loyalty to, and once they plead their loyalty to you, your position at a Orc Society is higher than others, and the more orcs that are loyal to you, the higher your standing.

"I-i... Okay." Bür blushed as he took the bowing position his dad taught him. "I, Bür Umur Setur, declare you, Yoichi Matsumoto as my Loyal." He waited... His God approved the oath, which means he is now officially married to the man in front of him.

Meanwhile, Yoichi found this a little strange, not knowing he just married- Oh.

[Congratulations, Bür Umur Setur is now loyal to you. You can now detect when Bür Umur Setur lies to you, you can also see his Status at will and due to his Loyalty Plea, you can unlock special classes for him.]

[The Orc God, Orksha is happy to see another one of his children marry, although he is curious why a human is at the Cursed Lands... Oh, he just saw the curses on your soul due to his {Loyalty} divinity. And he is pissed at the Three Sisters]

[Congratulations, you received [Orksha's Blessing]

[Orksha's Blessing: All Orcs now deeply respect you, and will declare their loyalty to you if you ask them to. Orksha can now visit your dreams and speak directly to you.]
