Adam couldn't help but have bad feeling as he noticed more and more baby orcs around him, each one fighting each other to devour their fellow eggs. He also couldn't help but start to fight as he crushed the creatures and devoured them, each bite making him grow stronger, but soon he noticed that he was not the only one getting stronger.
At this moment, he couldn't help but notice a shining orb at the corner of his vision.
Adam: -"What's this?"
He went forward and touched the glowing orb as a piece of information flew into his mind.
Orc Species Genome
"So they are orcs huh. I might be a randomly picked up egg, or like a rare mutation of the original species" Adam muttered to himself while he continued fighting the baby orcs.

[Does the host accept the skill or choose to increase stats temporarily?]
But he couldn't help but be shocked and admire the skill being granted. Isn't this way too overpowered? Eitherway, he accepted the skill instead of gaining a temporary boost.
[Host has to consume the orb for skill to be learnt]
Adam could not care less as he grabbed the orb, and stuffed it directly into his small mouth, and chomped on the surprisingly soft orb violently.
chew chew. (VFX)
Adam soon realized that the orb was actually not unpalatable. It was like a soft bun or mochi. He did not know if it was because of the furnace nearby, but it actually tasted like it was cooked. And it was soo fucking delicious!, at least better than that amniotic fluid he was gagged with a few moments back.
The orb that he swallowed finally relieved some of the endless hunger that he suddenly felt his stomach. However, before he could rejoice, a strange memory suddenly appeared in his mind, stunning him. A gigantic humane monster similar to the orcs roared at 10 large beasts and rushed forward, each brutal swing of it's club killing at least one or more monsters. It gave of an aura of dignity and bloodlust so scary that he couldn't help but feel like peeing himself, and he had to say , he was quite close to doing just that.
[Memory of the Albino Tyrannous orc god has been viewed ; The skill bloodthirst has been comprehended. 4 more copies are needed to level up your skill.]
Adam couldn't help but take a deep breath as he realized that the gruesome sight was finally over. Although he was scared, he couldn't help but shiver in excitement as he realized that he could definitely gain that much power in a short period of time. He also couldn't stop licking his lips in joy as he acknowledged that he would need to fight opponents much stronger than him, which was really different from his usual sly and cowardly attitude.
Always living for other people, he finally knew what to do of his own life now.

Adam couldn't help but smirk as he saw his stats were rather different, being mostly magic based instead of the typical muscle head protagonists. He also couldn't help but see the rank and asked his system to explain the ranking system. He also couldn't help but notice the species, he is an orc mutation after all.
[The monsters usually follow their own hierarchy based on their strength, with the rankings currently divided into 11 ranks.
Rank 1: Newborns goblins and lower rank monsters such as insects
Rank 2: Simple dungeon monsters like Kobolds or adult goblins; Untrained Adult humans
Rank 3: skeleton soldiers; Low-level Zombies; Succubus; Adult Kijin
Rank 4: Armored zombies and Armored skeletons; Elemental spirits
Rank 5: Pixies; Hobgoblins; Druids; Arachnids; Goblin sorcerers
[The current knowledge host contains can only permit the like of such information. More detailed information requires a huge amount of information. The host is currently suggested to read up more when possible.]
He quickly watched the ranking and simply sighed upon realizing that his racial potential isn't as high as he though it would be.. He clicked on the Kijin race and noted down the information presented by the system.
The Kijin race is a unique variety of a human sorceress and an orc, where the female's genes are more dominant, forcing the orc genes to be repressed and lowering their talents. The Kijin are usually mages and are only physically limited to rank 3, with the combat ability to have power rivalling that of rank 6 and 7 monsters. However, the said Kijin must activate it's orc inheritance and follow a bunch of rules to gain such power. These creature are often tamed as slaves because of their good looks and increased sensitivity to magic, with the strongest Kijin reaching Rank 5.
Adam was suddenly assaulted by an orc larger than the others. It looked at him with eyes similar to that of the tyrannous orc, being an albino version, the only color variation that he had seen in the entire time. And it was extremely similar to that 'monster' he had seen before.
"Oh shit"
