Byung walked out of the carriage and noticed there were orcs, but not just goblins—there were other races there.
This was the first time he was seeing orcs ever since he was born, but knowing he had the genes of such powerful creatures gave him so much comfort.
This also made him curious about the races these ones with him shot out of.
However, he also noted that this might be a territory with orcs as its primary residents because they were everywhere.
This was Byung's first time seeing one ever since his birth; he could recall everything and knew that he came from the womb of an orc.
"T-This is awesome…" Byung muttered to himself, unable to contain his excitement.
There were actually women here—this was the first time he would interact with one ever since coming here. But Byung noticed the orcs looked a lot more attractive than the one that gave birth to him—his mother, so to say.
The orcs didn't look at them with much disdain as they shared a lot of similarities with one another. This also told Byung they must have interacted with goblins a lot more frequently since their reaction was indifferent.
"Overwhelming, it is?" 008 threw an arm over Byung, but unlike Byung, he was composed.
"No idea, this big," Byung responded, staring at the chiseled physique of a passing orc in front of him.
They were all muscular and looked like a race of amazons bred for war, but the men were just as blessed.
"Wow… I wouldn't have minded being reborn as an orc…" Byung thought to himself.
They looked like their younger siblings, but it would make sense that the territory closest to them was that of orcs.
It had been months since he saw anything that didn't involve the mines, so this was a much-needed change.
Byung's excitement was cut short when Murkfang appeared out of nowhere, seemingly waiting for them to arrive.
Murkfang was the one designated to formally guide them through this ceremony because it was a rite of passage they had to go through to complete their promotion.
"Welcome young ones," Murkfang began, and Byung could already tell he looked a lot better than he did a few hours back.
The medicine must have worked, and it showed; Byung was relieved he could help him.
Murkfang looked at Byung and smiled before handing him something—an envelope containing some coins.
"What is this for?" Byung asked, but Murkfang wasn't verbal about it. It took him a second to realize he was paying for the medicine he had helped him with.
[Ding!]
[Receive 3 gold coins. 5x Critical Hit!]
[15 gold coins received!]
[Receive at least 3 gold coins on a creature from the same race!]
[Congratulations! Rebate system upgraded!]
[Multiplier upgraded!]
[Congratulations! Evolution system activated!]
[Recalibrating…]
[Recalibration complete!]
[Hybrid system linked!]
A cyan screen appeared right in front of him, and Byung's mouth literally dropped.
He was not only getting richer by spending money but receiving?
Murkfang assumed this was because of the coins given to him. After all, this must be the first time he was given a gold coin.
"Now, would you boys follow me? There is much to do," Murkfang said, and noticed the bully was smitten by the women around him.
If anything, he couldn't even control his raging boner, making him look like a pervert—but that was what this place was for.
This sight wasn't a surprise to the orcs in this place, but Byung knew this was something that could be fixed.
Murkfang led them into the building where the music was coming from, and the pheromones that invaded their nostrils were divine.
They were soon standing in front of four orcs personally picked out by Murkfang, all beautiful in their own right.
Murkfang noticed the boys were all nervous except for Byung, like he had seen this before, which was strange as they shouldn't even know what a woman looked like.
This wasn't his primary concern, because they were all lined up for the boys to pick which they wanted for the night.
"I see, so this is the ritual…" Byung muttered to himself, and before he could blink, the rest of the goblins had already chosen who they wished to spend the night with.
They picked anyone, to be honest—none were picky, but they were all attractive despite being monsters.
This meant it didn't matter who picked first, as they would all have the ultimate experience.
He inspected the remaining goblin, and despite her alluring figure, he didn't know what would happen if he managed to impregnate her.
But before Byung could blink, Murkfang gestured for something behind, and two more orcs grabbed his arms.
"I'm making yours extra special," Murkfang had already begun to show his bias, but not in front of the other goblins, as they had already left.
Byung knew no matter what he did, he couldn't get them pregnant or he would be a murderer, and the idea of becoming a father so soon didn't sit well with him considering what he had seen so far. However, the major factor was that he didn't want to be a murderer.
He glanced over at Murkfang and noticed Murkfang was staring at him—his reaction must have been off, as any goblin would be salivating at having more than one woman.
"Shit!" Byung thought to himself upon realizing he was raising suspicion.
"All this me alone!? Thank! Thank! Thank!" Byung thanked him vigorously, and Murkfang finally smiled.
"You won't be thanking me soon," Murkfang responded, because these women were experienced. He doubted this younger goblin would be able to satisfy all three, or even be able to withstand one.
"H-How you know?" Byung couldn't help but stutter.
The orcs led him into a different room, and what awaited him? Was it pleasure or something else?
Goblins became adults upon losing their virginity regardless of their age, and this was what the ceremony tonight was all for.
—
Murkfang never returned, and this meant that Gribnox had to deal with the Mogul who had come to visit.
Unfortunately for him, it didn't go well because the cost to keep the mines under their management functional was outweighing the value the Mogul got in return.
This wasn't all, as this goblin had taken the right ear of Gribnox to remind him of his place.
The mines were the only thing that proved if he had value or not.
Nothing more, nothing less—and right now, that value was inconsequential.
