Today, while exploring uncharted areas alone, I found an orc for the first time in a while. I hadn’t seen one since we secured our base. The familiar pig face brought back memories, and the taste of orc meat surfaced in my mind.
So naturally, I decided to hunt and eat the orc. As I got closer, I noticed something I hadn’t seen from a distance—the orc was dragging the body of a young human male, about twenty years old, with a caved-in skull. The youth wore tattered leather armor, was covered in blood and wounds, and had an empty scabbard at his waist.
Piecing together the information, it seemed an adventurer had entered the forest, only to be killed by the orc, which was now taking the body back. It was a classic case of survival of the fittest. I prayed for the soul of the youth who had become food due to his weakness, then launched a merciless attack on the orc that still hadn’t noticed me.
Approaching from behind, I killed the orc with a single blow and stored its body in my item box. Not wanting to leave the young man’s body abandoned, I ate his heart and head before burning the rest.
[Job unlocked: Monster Tamer!]
Apparently, the youth was a Monster Tamer. However, given that a mere orc killed him, his talent must have been sorely lacking. Even if one has a job, factors like talent and level are crucial.
Upon my return, I found that two more males and two more females among the captured elves had succumbed to their desires. Although I hadn’t intended to participate this time, an unspoken rule seemed to have formed that the top-ranked member of the community should go first, so I went along with it. Having already experienced an elf once, it wasn’t as intense as the first time.
