The Record of Orc Civilization-Chapter 4 Palaka
[Meer Calendar, 17 June, 1 Years Before Demon War]
The wind from the east brought down cold air from the Wolf Slopes mountain range.
The trees swayed, the sound of the wind whistling through the leaves.
The tents swayed, the sound of clapping from the layers of leather colliding.
The orcs cheered merrily, their voices getting louder and louder.
They sing.
Hits their chest.
Jump around.
A horde of orcs is like welcoming a hero home from a mission to save their world.
In contrast to their lively welcome, the five female humans lower their heads.
Their bodies shivered.
Not because of the cold, the cold wind was blocked by the bodies of the orc horde surrounding them.
But out of fear, their bodies respond to the feelings that arise from their minds.
Their faces were as pale as paper and their eyes like the eyes of a dead fish.
Moku used to see those eyes often.
He always looks at it everytime he looks at himself in the mirror.
Eyes waiting for death.
The last human women to fall into the orcs' hand were the mothers who gave birth to Moku generation.
At that time there were six human women that orcs managed to capture, one more than today.
They were then forced to give birth to orc babies. During their imprisonment, they had 2 miscarriages each, but they managed to give birth to 6 baby orcs, including Moku.
They lived like cattle, only used when the orcs wanted to satisfy their lust.
They lived in tents along with leftover food, dried orc sperm, and their own excrement. Their necks, arms and legs were shackled with chains tied to wooden posts.
Moku's mother died 6 years ago. Their bodies and minds could no longer endure that torture.
When that Woman died, there was no remorse, hatred, and fear in her eyes. Just a sense of relief.
Every time Moku remembers that incident, it makes Moku unable to get sleep.
In this world, who is strong is in power. Moku always knew that.
Humans who controlled Mana, would kill every orc they saw. So it was only natural that Orcs would also kill humans.
Humans shouldn't complain if they were killed by orcs, but the orcs' treatment of female human couldn't even be tolerated by Moku.
Genetic abnormalities in their bodies, making every orc born is male, no matter what creature they have sex with. This forced the orcs to hunt for mates of another kind.
Interracial marriage is a very difficult thing. It's not just a psychological problem between the two parties, but differences in the shape of the genitals can affect the process.
It's like a horse can't possibly have sex with a mouse. The horse will kill the mouse before it can fertilize.
Because of this, the species that orcs can fertilize are very limited. They had to find a living creature that had genital organs fit for an orc's 10-inch penis.
Fertilization with mammals, will not work, their eggs are too weak to accommodate orc sperm cells. Moku himself had already tried it with the deer he had caught. After further research, the deer ended up in its stomach.
In conclusion, the orcs prefer mana species to partner with. In addition to body shapes that are not much different, they also have 'the right' sex organs.
Then the question arises whether a mana species that considers itself blessed with mana flow would want to have a partner with a monster they only consider as a pest?
Moku doesn't understand what's on a woman's mind. It can even be said that men will not understand what is on a woman's mind.
Even Sigmund Freud, a philosopher who studied the subconscious, died with the last words "what do woman want?".
The only super ability that Moku doesn't want to have is mind reading power.
He does not want and is afraid of women's thoughts. He didn't want to dive into the bottomless abyss of the female mind.
But Moku knew that women would rather sleep with Johnny Deep than big-tall creatures, with green skin, fierce faces, long lower fangs, and the smell of dried blood.
Even so Moku didn't blame the orcs for forcing his lust on those women. They also want to survive and reproduce are the characteristics of living beings.
What Moku is concerned about is the orcs' technique of intercourse. They only have one technique, which is 'poke harder'. This shit dumb technique that makes women not enjoy their sex sessions.
When having intercourse, women will secrete fluid from the vaginal opening as a lubricating fluid. This is there to facilitate penetration. But the orc's 'poke harder' technique would only cause them pain.
Moku doesn't want to imagine how it feels when a 10 inch long foreign object is forced into your body.
The second problem is the treatment of orcs after having sex with women.
After sex, a gentleman will stroke a woman's hair and hug her tightly until she falls asleep. But this is not the case in the orc's after-sex activity.
They would reattach the women's chains and leave them to sleep in tents with only earth as floors.
With the temperature of the Bog Forest who filled with cold mist at night, it was a miracle that women didn't die from hypothermia.
The third problem is the orc's treatment of pregnant women.
Three-to-seven days after intercourse The woman will become pregnant. The orc's magical body not only has fast regeneration but also super powerful genitals. Therefore there are no cases of women failing to get pregnant after being fertilized.
However, the poor living conditions of pregnant women make the rate of miscarriage higher. With a 1:3 chance of miscarriage.
Orcs who don't understand about pregnancy and the burden on mothers during pregnancy, only take precautions so that pregnant women don't run away. By chaining the pregnant women's neck, legs and hands to a wooden pole.
Bad treatment of pregnant women causes pregnant women to become depressed.
Depression makes the body's immune decrease, with poor living conditions, and the body in shackles makes women age less every time they are pregnant. As a result, the women died young.
If these three problems were solved, it was highly likely that women could give birth to 10-15 orc babies in their lifetime.
Therefore, Moku must do something so that this rare resource is not wasted and can be put to good use.
Orcs are communities with a system of government where the tribal chief acts as the Judiciary, Legislative, and Executive simultaneously. This means that the tribal chief punishes, makes laws, and leads for his tribe members.
If a tribe has a shaman then it is the shaman who has the right to make laws and punish. But the last Shaman this tribe had was die before the Moku generation was born.
That way the power of the tribal chief is absolute within the tribe. The tribal chief has the right to regulate everything that is in the tribe, his power is only limited by some customary regulations that have existed since the first orc tribe was formed.
In most orc tribes, the right to have sex with women only belongs to the chief. In addition to keeping the orc descendants born from the strongest orcs, this is also for the sake of maintaining the internal security of the tribe.
Therefore, when a tribe succeeds in capturing a woman, the tribe will hold a traditional ceremony to determine a new tribal chief.
This traditional ceremony is called by the name 'Palaka'. A traditional ceremony where members of the tribe are given the opportunity to challenge other members of the tribe or the old chieftain to a one-on-one duel.
However, this tribe will not perform the traditional ceremony. The orc chieftain will receive the title 'Ku' which means strongest orc in monster language.
The current 'Ku' is an orc with a height of 2.3 meters with a body weight of 200-220 kg. The arm length is 1.5 meters and has an attack range of up to 2 meters. His fists were as big as half an adult's head, a single blow from this orc was capable of uprooting a tree with a diameter of 10 inches.
That orc named Goku.
Goku is the prodigy of this tribe. He was bigger and stronger than the other adult orcs. No one dared to challenge Goku and die in a Palaka.
Moku is just a young orc, although his body is getting bigger and stronger, he can only beat ordinary adult orcs not Goku.
Currently he is only 8 years old, he has a height of 185 cm, with a body weight of 100 kg. Moku was much stronger than orcs his age, with the fighting techniques he learned in his previous life, Moku was able to defeat three adult orcs at once.
But Moku doubts whether his punches and kicks can hurt Goku. Goku's massive body muscles would probably be as hard as iron. Moku will only hurt his hand when hitting Goku's body.
Because of that Moku had to give up his chance this time to change the orc's life. He had to give up the five human women to become Goku's sex partners.
Maybe Goku will be gentle and keep them alive. At least stay alive until Moku feels stronger than Goku.
Right, he had to know his limits.
Moku lowered his head, his body seemed to shrink amidst the crowd of cheering orcs.
Moku bit his teeth, lowered his head, and closed his eyes trying not to see the five human women being led into Goku's tent.
Even though he was able to close his eyes, he couldn't cover his ears.
His hands trembled, his logic seemed to be fighting something.
His body became a battlefield.
Who is the enemy of logic?
'Since when are you afraid to fight?' a faint sound was heard.
'Is this all courage that you have? coward!' The voice grew louder.
That was his determination.
The determination that pushed his body to keep training even though his muscles were torn and his bones were broken.
The determination that promised foolish dreams to jump higher than a flying bird, punch through mountains, and run as fast as sound.
The determination that lay dormant along with his paralyzed body.
The determination that reborn along with the hope that came with his new body.
It was his determination that kept his palms from covering his ears.
It was his determination that is at war with his logic.
'OPEN YOUR FUCKING EYES, CLENCH YOUR FIST, AND FIGHT!' a roar that was so loud and broke Moku's logic.
Moku opened his eyes 'I AM THE GREATEST!!!!' and roared in his heart.
"Palakaaa!!"
There was a shout amidst the orcs' cheers.
"Palakaaa!"
It sounded again, this time all the orcs were stunned.
Goku's face darkened. Goku turned to his left, the second strongest orc, Boku. But Boku shook his head indicating that he wasn't the one shouting.
All the orcs started to think who would dare shout a duel challenge.
"PALAKAAA!"
This time it was clear where the shouts came from. Coming from a young Orc. The other orcs stared wide as if they couldn't believe it was Moku who proclaimed Palaka.
"Moku, who do you want to duel with? How about just after the celebration? I'm busy having guests right now. So can't hold the Palaka ceremony" Goku smirked, pointing with his chin to his tent.
Goku assumes that Moku wants to challenge one of the adult orcs to a duel. Moku is known as a crazy orc, he likes to hurt himself until he faints by making strange movements.
But Goku never thought that Moku was that crazy to ask him to fight.
All orcs laughed. They also thought same as Goku, this crazy young orc wanted to fight one of the adult orcs.
Maybe he thought that if he won or showed his strength, Goku would be happy and give him a chance to taste a human female body.
Palaka is a simple traditional ceremony. There is no opening dance, opening speech, or other opening events. To hold Palaka there are only two conditions that must be met.
The first condition is to designate the target of Palaka.
"Ku Goku, I invite you to a duel. Palaka!" Moku mentions who he will duel with.
The faces of all the tribe members lost color.
Goku's mouth gaped.
The orcs' mouth gaped.
Boku raised his eyebrows.
Calf don't afraid to tiger.
Calf don't afraid to tiger.
They whispered like that in their hearts several times.
They all could never have imagined Moku would win. Not only that, for Moku will be lucky to be able to get out of the duel alive.
"Moku you've gone too crazy!" Swa who shouted next to Moku with a red face.
"Ku, don't listen to this crazy orc, he has lost his mind" Laya nearby said pleadingly.
Swa and Laya are Moku's best friends. The three of them were born on the same day, according to orc tradition they were blood relatives. f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m
Moku's crazy training routine drives Swa and Laya away too. Even so, they can be said to be quite close. Swa and Laya often talk to Moku to bring him back to his senses and Moku often feeds them excess meat from the game he catches.
Moku smiled 'I do have two brothers...' and said in his heart.
But his decision was already irreversible, he wanted to fight an enemy that was beyond his capabilities. Moku's dream of becoming the strongest won't be buried today.
The second condition of Palaka is to tell the reason for the duel.
"Palaka! I want to duel with Ku Goku because I'm the strongest" Moku said casually.
Two conditions for Palaka have been fulfilled. Opponents and reasons to duel. His opponent is Ku Goku and the reason is because Moku believes that he is the strongest.
'CRAZY KID!'
'CRAZY KID!'
The orcs' shocked screams in their hearts.
Swa and Laya's faces changed color quickly.
White to Red, Red to Blue, Blue to Green, then Back again to white.
Moku saw their faces change color rapidly, bursting into laughter. 'Are they the descendants of chameleons?' Moku asked in his heart.
"Are you serious Moku?" Goku's face is getting gloomy, this young Orc dares to challenge him to a duel?
"Palaka can't be rejected, Ku" answered Moku loudly.
Moku felt himself liberated from the feeling that was suppressing him.
He smiled cheerfully because he was back to how he used to be.
A stupid human who defied the sky.
Now, he was a stupid orc who will punch through the sky.
Goku and Moku looked at each other. Their gazes seemed to flow clashing electricity.
The air around them became frozen.
Each orc held its breath.
"Okay, I accept your challenge. Prepare the arena for Palaka!" Goku nodded and gave the order in an annoyed voice.
