My heart was pounding and the whistling sound of the Shadow Drift bombarded my ears. I was definitely in danger. How to combat this?
Whizz! Ting!
I threw my arm up and my blade collided with her before she vanished once more. How deadly. This woman was a force to be reckoned with. Looking around the circle area, I decided to join the woman.
Once I activated shadow drift, the crowd gasped in shock. For what reason I had yet to know. But what I did know was that I was now successfully evading, forcing her to change tactics. But that didn't stop the attacks from drawing blood.
'I can't die' I thought.
I only had one option. While Nyx's element was obviously the dark element, I didn't have a elemental foundation. I had no hope of controlling shadow drift to the extent that she displayed. Using elemental magic was also more taxing on those wielded an element without a proper foundation.
A white magic circle soon appeared below my feet.
"White Brilliance!" I shouted.
A blinding light was conjured as I felt my man change and drain from body at a frightening speed.
The crowd looked away to shield their eyes and Nyx was knocked out of her Shadow Drift. My hand twisted and the magic circle rotated. "Radiant Lance"
That light energy morphed and lances fired off followed by the screams of Nyx. After ending the spell, I walked my battered body over to her with the occasional pant.
Five lances, one in each limb and the last in the gut. Nyx was pent to the earth and restrained.
'Identify' I thought.
A moment later, lettering only visible to me could be seen above Nyx.
-Raider Nyx Dark Claw LVL 12, Shadow Stitcher, Innate Dark Element.-
"That explains a lot" I muttered. "If she hadn't wanted to capture me, she would have killed me."
[Quest Alert: Eye for an Eye]
[Conquer Nyx Dark Claw in front of the Yordal (Group below Clan Status). Give her the fate she planed for you or give her death]
[Reward: Goblin Adviser, 1000 Exp, Dark Affinity, and Orc Nectar]
'Orc Nectar? That sounds expensive. And If I get the Dark Affinity, Eldritch spells will coast less mana and give me two times the power. Hehe.'
Towering over Nyx, My cock grew as my Goblin blooded raged. Pouring a healing potion down her throat, her wounds healed before I took her from behind in front of the Yordal. They all released war cries, most rooting for Nyx to win this last battle.
And unlike the Faye, this little goblin was enthusiastic and relished in the pleasure beneath my cock. Surprisingly, her cunt felt made for me and almost pulled me into the abyss multiple times before her body finally shuddered and her fragrant juices rushed for like a river escaping the cracks of the dam.
Pulling out, Nyx fell forward and her pussy gushed twice more before I plunged my back in, bottoming out. After a few strokes, I emptied my load into her. Her mind hazed pink and it wasn't much of battle anymore as I conquered the once confident raider.
After her twelfth orgasm, an intense red glowing tattooed collar appeared on her neck and the goblins about lost their minds. Leaving Nyx next to Faye girl, weak and soiled, I looked to the Chief ready to accept my next challenger but no one stepped forth.
"Hmmm, Raider Kane. You have surpassed my expectations of you. Swear Fealty to the Yordal and your place here will be unchallenged. Refuse, and you can stay for a night. You will then take your winnings and leave. But be warned, young one, you will have to repeat this process as long as your remain on your own." Said the Chief.
"What is a raider?" I asked.
"Raiders are leaders of the party that your parents are probably from. They stay out of goblin territory and lead their kin to gather resources and cultivation strength for the Goblin Kin whether its personal strength, slaves, or breeders to increase our numbers." He explained.
"But I have only beat two Raiders, what does that mean for me?"
"Everything they have is yours, their Raiding party, slaves, and belongings."
'So Raiding parties are what the outside world calls nomads and Yordals are beneath a clan.' I thought, 'And he never said fealty to him but to the Yordal. Why not…'
"I'll swear fealty to the Yordal. What do I have…" before I could finish, green light emitted from my body and a brand appeared on my arm.
The Yordal roared in celebration. They cared about power and loyalty. I had just aced both. Moments later I was dragged to and fro. Meeting people and eating. Many Female goblins made advances as the Faye girl and Nyx were my slaves. They wanted to be a Raider's woman.
By the end of the celebration, I knew the Goblin race was a lot more developed than the outside world was led to believe. And surprisingly, they also used currency. Selling the two houses I received from Nyx and Myr, I purchased one larger house built into a rock hill.
Once I entered the house, I could quickly identify the work of dwarves. In my heart, I felt a conspiracy. I just didn't have enough information to completely piece it together
[Hidden Quest Alert: Ancient History]

[Reward: ????, ????, ????, ????, Bonus if requirements are met]
"Holy shit? A hidden quest! A one in ten thousand opportunities. Two kingdoms, two organizations, and finally a hidden quest." I was excited and thankfully the only people with me were my two slaves. Only Hero's had systems. If mine was exposed, it may be bad for my health.
Calming myself down, I sat on my bed and took a closer look at my system.

[Goblin's slave Complete.]
[Capture the aburn-haired beauty. Subdue her with your cock to state your goblin urges. Work her to climax 6 times to unlock the slave seal and claim her as yours].

[Conquer Nyx Dark Claw in front of the Yordal (Group below Clan Status). Give her the fate she planed for you or give her death]
[Rewards: Goblin Adviser, 1000 Exp, Dark Affinity, and Orc Nectar]
"Haha! I'm Rich! So much great stuck. Show me reward Descriptions." I commanded.
A moment later the description of my rewards appeared. The Slave seal was the simplest one. It would appear after satisfying my target a set number of times in a single session. Each minimum was different depending on their bloodline. The Faye girl was naturally lower than Nyx's because she was a half-breed.
As for the slaves, I couldn't share Exp with them, but I could copy their skills and bloodline after the golden slave mark appears. According to the scale, Nyx was actually closer to knew slave mark color than the Faye girl. Each color had two spectrums, dull and vibrant. After vibrant a new color would appear.
There are four colors in total, red, pink, gold, and Celestial (Platinum silver with a rainbow hue). After Celestial was unknown as the description was locked until a slave achieved the Golden Slave Mark.
The Goblen adviser was obviously Nyx. She was well versed in goblin culture and would act as a tutor. The next Reward was Dark Affinity which allowed dark spells to be used with less mana and more intensity or destructive power.
Then came Orc Nectar. Orc Nectar was the most mind-blowing as my jizz took on mind-bending properties. Once a lover gets hooked, they turned into something similar to a yin cauldron and can be used to grind Exp. The only downside is the sweet alluring fragrance I admitted. It could be smelled by Orc, Fiends, and Higher Faye like Elves, Dryads, Succubuses, and the rare Moon Rabbit.
Finally, Seal Fragment to the Tomb Of Uhnok's Royal Family Tomb was a small stone without any description. The description appeared to be locked until I collected six fragments, a third of the seal.
I couldn't complain, the rewards I received were a good start for my new life.

"Yikes! That list is kind of long. I should train and condense. If can master the spells, they can condense them to the base element and shorten the list. I should also hed back to the forest to train a bit. My stats are good but I can't rely on experience too much. I need strength to back it up. " I spoke to myself.
'What next?" I thought. "Ahh, storage ring and money."
With Myr dead and Nyx my slave, I'll have to take a closer look at their things tomorrow. But in the meantime, I emptied out my storage ring. Besides the stuff that was originally mine. I got some loot from the goblin cave, and the four storage rings I took from the adventures. Their gear is pretty damaged but I'm sure they can be fixed. After all, the goblins are a lot more than they seem.
At the end of inventory, I had health and mana potions, two bottles of Tier two potions, three bottles of tier 3 Exp Elixirs, a constitution strength pill, and a Class four Shadow Panther core.
I guess that explains why the adventure fell into my hands. They hand faced a class for beast and then were hunted down for it. Tsk.Tsk. Tsk. greeds a killer. Oh well, it's my money now. Pushing that stuff I said, I group the gear and put everything into a sing storage ring to be sold. The consumables and Monster core were put into my personal ring.
With the little tasks finished, I could finally sleep. The moment my body laid down, I drifted off seamlessly into the dreamlands.
Three days had gone by before I finally woke. This was the after-effect of Overactive Warrior. I woke up and stretched my body. I was well-rested and ready to work. not only did I have a hidden quest to complete, but I also had money to make, a raiding party to manage, a Dragon Hunt to prepare for, and a new culture to learn amongst other things.
My eyes scanned the room and I found Nyx and the Faye Girl... wait. 'Staus open. Slave List.'
A list of thirty-four names of males and families of varying races appeared. However, only two received my slave mark. Beside Nyx...There was the Faye girl named Dahlia Virnala. She was labeled as half Human half Salamander.
The Faye race is divided into lower and higher Faye. The Lower Faye is what people call elementals. Gnomes, Undines, Salamanders, and Sylphs. the Higher Faye are Elves, Sucubusses, Dryads, and Moon Rabbits.
Looking at Dahlia, I could instantly see the Salamander in her blood. Her fiery glare threatened to turn me to cinders. Meanwhile, Nyx's expression was a little more complicated. I made a mental note to find why later.
Putting on leather armor, I left the house with my two slaves on my heels. I didn't plan to speak to them until I was ready. Walking through the Yordal, I met Fjord who led me to Nyx's territory. After gathering her former raiding party, I led them to Myr's territory.
Naturally, I had lost Goblins from both parties, but still, a decent amount had stayed. Before addressing them, I sent Nyx and Dahlia to collect everything that was mine after handing them a storage ring. As for the newly acquired slaves, they would be led to the house.
Looking over my party, I silently counted 210 goblins. 150 goblins short of the original party number. But I didn't complain as it was fewer mouths to feed. And even these 210 might decrease after our first raid.
The party looked at me with expectant gazes, waiting for my address. But before I spoke I pulled up a chair, sat down comfortably, then said, "Who wants to level up!"
Their eyes went wide and they shouted their replies. They all wanted to level up. But only a few could do it with my help, for a price.
"We raid in one month. You have a week to find the locations of three items. On his Flower that blooms under the stars, the next is class four fire, water, earth, and wind monsters. finally, somewhere in the rock lands is a pool with blood water that smells of sesame. The first to bring me results will be rewarded. And if we manage to get the locations I need, I'll take you on a raid to capture more beautiful women and beneficial resources than you've ever seen in your life, this I swear!"
War cries echoed and the flame of completion and hope of a better future motivated them. The party soon dispersed and Fjord laughed as he guided me to the Cheif's land.
"Young One. Our chief is chief for a reason. Do you know why we sit on the border of the Rock Lands?" He asked, excited to tell me.
"No," I answered.
"Princess Lazuli Esmeer. Our chief kidnapped her and killed her eldest brother. We raided the capital in the central forest and survived. Our clan was reduced to a Yordal but the strongest survived. We still have the princess. As long as she remains untouched, the elves bow before our cocks. King Uhnok then granted the chief the border and sends him boons for every year the elves don't attack."
I was at a loss for words. I had never heard such a story before. I was in awe, this chief must be beyond the middle levels.
"So the chief is really high level?" I asked.
Fjord cleared his throat as he coughed a bit. I wasn't sure if my question was appropriate or not so I told him to just forget it.
"So how do you know so much magic, young one?" Fjord asked.
"Aren't they basic spells?"
Fjord titled his head to the side and looked at me with scrutinizing eyes. "Nyx was born with a Dark affinity. Goblin Shamans rain for years before they can use elements. The first starts off with Goblin magic, profane and wild. Do you know such things?"
I shook my head and Fjord seemed to have thought. "If you agree to the Chief, He won't mind changing your title from Raider to Shaman Apprentice."
"Won't I lose my Party?" I asked.
"Haha of course not. Our Goblin race values two titles, Warlord and Shaman. As long as you are either, you will be respected. Thankfully, our chief and Shaman are lovers. In most Yordals, Clans, Uhmaks, even the Royal Horde, the lead Shaman holds its own power separate from the Warlord. That's why King Uhnoks Shaman is his slave just like Nyx is yours." Fjord explained.
"Is what I did to Nyx really that special?" I was curious about this.
"Haa, not even the chief can do what you did and he's the third cousin of the Uhnok House. Are you sure you don't know who your parents are?" he asked in a hushed tone. At this point, we had stopped walking.
"I'm positive, why?"
"The blood of Uhnok allows us goblins to naturally produce the slave mark. The Uhnok blood in me is pathetic. It's why I could never become a Raider. However, People like Myr, Nyx, and the chief have enough blood to make slaves left and right. They can be considered descendants of Uhnok. None of them can enslave another Goblin. You can be considered a direct Descendant. If you reach the middle levels before twenty-five, you can be welcomed into the royal house."
'What the fuck!' My mind was about to explode. And just as I was thinking that system was responsible for Nyx's slave mark, it chimed.
[Hidden Quest Alert: Inheratence]
[Your Uhnok blood is stronger. Make it to the middle levels before Twenty five to achieve your inheritance. You must be discreet. If the nine princes discover you, you will surely die and be bled like a pig.]
[Reward: ?????, ?????,?????, Your Elder Sister's Location]
"F-Fjord, will you help me make it to the Middle levels?" I asked sincerely. I really wanted the secret rewards.
"Hahaha, Young and hungry. The chief was right about you. Follow me." He walked away with a joyous laugh.
Sometime later, we walked into the Chief's tent to scene only seen I'm my dreams.
