Yoichi soon noticed the effects of the blessing received from Orksha, Bür's face held astonishment as he looked at Yoichi who curiously raised an eyebrow to see Bür suddenly held his hands to his face to hide it from view as he muttered over and over again: "Oh my Orksha, Oh my Orksha, Oh my Orksha! I knew it, you were blessed by him!" His slightly pointy ears, even though they were green, held a tint of red as Yoichi could tell that Bür was blushing. "And i a Loyal to a blessed by Orksha!?" He shouted, completely ignoring his surroundings, making Yoichi jump into action to silence him with his hand covering his mouth! However, Yoichi was small, so to place his hand on Bür's mouth, he had to jump and hold onto his big, green arms.
"Shut up!" Yoichi whispered-shouted as he looked around, his ears focusing on sound of Gnolls, he was searching for any sign that the Gnolls were coming back! What Yoichi doesn't know is that to Orcs, their tusks are a sign of manhood, something to be proud of, but also surprisingly sensitive to touch! That's why most humans tend to cut Orcs tusks and enslave them, most Half-Orcs have small tusks too, but that is another history. What I'm saying is that for an Orc, the act of touching another orc's tusk is an intimate act done by family or lovers, and Loyals too...
Bür is shy. He has always been shy since birth, when he was given to his father by the God Orksha, his personality was shy. His father loved him and his brother, he knows that, but his brother is the better image of an Orc! Bür was said to be special by Orksha, but he never felt like was until this very moment when Yoichi was on top of him, pressing his hand against his mouth and touching his tusks... This... This is great.
Ever since Eversyl, the Elf Goddess of Nature, Life, and Birth cursed the Cursed Lands, no Natural Life is born, so no Orc is born naturally, they are brought into to the world by Orksha from his very seed! That is the same for every other monster, they are brought to life by their respective Gods and are given to their parents, due to this, there has been no female orcs, goblins, gnolls, minotaurs, nagas, and others in centuries! All the Monster Races kept their ability to breed, that's why when they breed with other races females, Halfs are born. Halfs is exactly as their namesake suggests, they are half of a monster! Humans and Elves have a deep hatred for Halfs and all the Monster Races, so most Halfs are slaves since they are born, and Monsters are captured from the Ethryl Dungeon, that connects all the five regions together, are also turned into slaves by the other races.
This is one of the reasons all the Monster Races hate humans, elves, dwarves, and beastmen, although beastmen hate is lesser due to their God... While the Goddess of the Elves cursed the land so no natural life would be born (plants also included), the Beast God cursed the land so all beasts would be stronger here, which was actually a blessing! Stronger beasts just naturally appear out of thin air, they are spawned across this region and are the only source of food and water inside this region due to some of the beasts being giant bugs filled with water... That's another story. And oh, the three bitches...
They each cursed the land with different things.
Evernus Everia, Evandra.
Evernus cursed the land so no rain would ever fall upon the barren soil, making the Cursed Lands a complete desert, filled with sand and broken, dry dirt.
Everia cursed the land so magic would be scarce, making the races being born or brought inside this region almost magic-less, this also makes the land have random outbursts of magic, which are called Magic Eruptions and they are unpredictable and random but always destructive.
And Evandra cursed the land that tied those within the land to it, making every single creature that leaves their land lose their strength, making them weak. That's why Monster Races can't escape slavery once they're out of their region, they won't be able to fight... Unless they are supplied with mana, which temporarily lifts up the curse, removing the debuff from them and allowing them to fight! But magic users among Monster Races are rarer than natural water in the Cursed Lands! Due to the Beastmen God, Leoniz, "curse" all creatures that appear out of thin air (or are spawned in the Cursed Lands), all of them have magic or are magical creatures!
Every once in a while, a giant blue bug with a giant carapace will appear, they are relatively common inside the Cursed Lands as they are used as the main water supply of all the monsters among this desert land... At day, the sun burns bright and hot, you can even fry an egg on a rock which is actually one of the most used ways of cooking among Goblins!
It's hard to live in tje Cursed Lands, but this dangerous place shaped those who live inside it, all races have something in common: They worship strength, be it physical or mental, they worship strength and magical strength is rare but one of the most feared and respected. Bür's brother can use magic! He is amazing at that, he was chosen by Orksha to hold his mark and use his magic to protect the Orcs from danger, Bür sometimes wonders why Orksha said he was the special one...
Yoichi listened for about a good half minute before he sighed and looked at Bür, who had his whole face red in embarrassment, after all, Yoichi was touching his tusks! For Orcs is the tusks, for Goblins and Drows is the ears, for Bugbears is the hands, for Minotaurs is the horns, for Nagas and Kobolds is the tail, for Gnolls it is both the ears and tails, as well as their abdomen. There are other monster races than these, but these are the ones organized, that have some sort of community that stays together, most of the other Monster Races are scattered among the regions and even continents. But Bür doesn't know anything about other continents, he can't even focus right now as Yoichi looks at him with clear amazement and sly smirk, this makes Bür blush because he feels like maybe Yoichi will want him to fulfill his Loyal Ritual, that is sealed with a kiss.
The one swearing loyalty must be the submissive one when kissing, so that the ritual may be completed, it's purely traditional and ritualistic, cultural for the Orcs. Bür, however, feels like he can't do it! He is easily embarrassed by his brother's teasing, and kissing is something new to him! He never kissed anyone even though his cuteness attracted the attention of several other Orcs before, he never kissed someone! And Yoichi doesn't stop looking at him like he is the most delicious piece of meat, and that makes Bür both scared and slightly aroused...

Yoichi learned a lot from just looking at Bür's status, Techniques are skills that uses Stamina to use, just like magic will (probably, cannot be too sure) use Mana for use. Have they never tries to create a skill that uses both Mana and Stamina? or have they tried using Stamina to cast spells? Or have they mixed together Mana and Stamina? So many questions, so many opportunities to be stronger. Yoichi took his time to ask questions to the now shy Bür, who answered with enthusiasm, it was cute to see this big piece of meat act shy...
What Yoichi learned is that classes have ranks, they go from Rank 1 to Rank 10, but for you to unlock a class you want, you have to level up the previous class to the max, and the higher the rank of the class, the harder it is to get levels on the class, and getting a class is the easiest way to get skills, you can also get them by training, but that way is harder to do and they are called then [Obtained Skills], sometimes you need a specific skill to unlock a higher ranking class, he also learned that Bür was the son of the Blood Tribe, there are other Orc tribes scattered among the Cursed Lands, and the Blood Tribe is the weakest in terms of numbers, but their leader is strong enough to protect them, and they have a rare Magic user that is his brother...
"Bür, can you take me to your tribe?" Yoichi smiled at the orc, who blushed when looking at him and nodding aggressively, Yoichi at first only wanted to use him, but maybe he should also get to know him... He is cute, maybe he can be his lover...
Little did Yoichi know, he would have have harems ready to serve him every day...
