The Record of Orc Civilization-Chapter 23 The Great Human War

"If you want to know I will answer, but before that you have to tell me how you got this strong and how you evolved into this handso..." Anna stopped talking.

"'This handsome' right? You don't have to be shy to praise my good looks Anna" Moku smirked again.

"Who called you handsome? Don't be so chesty! Just answer my question!" Anna snorted with a flushed face.

"okay...okay... don't need angry because you just shy" Moku teased.

"You...." Anna was like a lioness about to go berserk.

Moku calmed the lioness down and thought.

His evolution is the change brought by the dragon prana. Although Dragon Breath Cultivation can be done by humans, but it will be useless without the inner eye and the dragon prana.

So it wouldn't be dangerous if Moku explained his evolution process to Anna.

"My evolution was caused by Dragon Breath Cultivation. Dragon Breath Cultivation is the process of flowing dragon prana into the generator room which can only be seen with the inner eye then opening the first gate." Moku said.

"What is dragon prana?" Anna asked.

"Dragon prana is a huge energy that is hidden inside the orcs body and will only awaken at certain times after experiencing certain stimuli" Moku tried hard to keep a flat tone.

"What about the inner eye?" Anna continued to ask.

Moku breathed a sigh of relief and answered as simply as possible "The inner eye is the sixth sense that exists and sleeps due to the other five senses being too dominant"

"What is the first gate?"

"I also don't understand what the first gate is but I just realized and felt that my evolution won't just stop here and this is just the beginning" Moku answered frankly.

"Can all orcs evolve like you?" Anna asked.

If all orcs could evolve and become strong like Moku then the position of power from mana species and monsters would be greatly changed.

"Hmm... they have a chance but the chances of them evolving like me are very slim"

"What do you mean?" Anna was curious.

"To be able to flow and control dragon prana they must master the highest level of breathing techniques and become a Pandeka. There are three levels of mastery of breathing techniques.

The first level is energy gathering. At this level they can use breathing techniques to make their muscles tough and able to withstand impact.

But they will experience a decrease in speed so that it becomes slower than before.

The second level is power blasting. At this level they are able to use the energy they channel in the form of punches, dodges, sidestep, parry, or blocks.

Even so, they are not able to move freely when using their power and can only release it in one movement.

The third level is energy implementation. At this level they will be able to use their power whenever they want.

Even so, the third level of breathing technique alone is not enough to control dragon prana, it takes more than that, they need a strong will.

This is the final test for those who want to get the title of a Pandeka, namely Learn with Inyiak.

They have to leave the tribe and come back with the main ingredient for making karambit, namely mutated animal claws." Moku took out the karambit that was behind the folds of cindai in his waist.

"These claws are hard and sharp, these animals have mutations in their claws so it is most likely that mutated animals are a carnivora right?" Anna stroked the blade of Moku's karambit in amazement.

"Yes it is from a vulture with 6 horns on its head like a crown and its feathers are shining like gold." Moku said

"Its a Golden Vulture! If it has 6 horn than that's an adult golden vulture! How can you kill that?" Anna was amazed.

"Well.. At that time I was 7 years old, he was sleeping in a cave behind Green Caping Hill, he was very strong and I was only able to defeat him due to a narrow battle area" Moku explained.

"At 7 years old?! Are you Zelos incarnation or what? Golden Vulture is silver tier danger" Anna was stunned.

"Yeah it was a year ago... wait..wait.. who's Zelos? and What is silver tier danger... ah.. forget it... can I continued my answer?" Moku was confused by many Anna's words that he didn't understand.

"Zelos is a Sun God and silver tier danger is... wait..wait.. a year ago?! how old are you now?" Anna was also confused.

"I'm 8 years old" Moku answered.

Anna hear thunder roar behind her back, "YOU JUST 8 YEARS OLD????? DOES THAT MEANT I'AM FUCKED BY A KID????" Anna shuddered at the thought of falling in love with an eight-year-old kid.

The eyes of the girls who were watching and listening to their conversation went wide.

They don't understand what happened. Why did Moku's heroic tale of killing a silver tier danger mutated animal turn into the love story of a pedophile girl.

The plot twist of this story is even more interesting than the famous dramas they usually watch in the human city. They were currently eager to understand what Moku was saying and snacked on the heated corn.

'I'am not a pedophile... right?' Anna begins to doubt her taste in choosing a partner.

"Who's you call a kid?? I'm already an adult.. I'M OLDER THAN ALL OF YOU!!" Moku did not accept it.

In the age of an orc, Moku can be said to have entered adolescence and is the same age as an 18 year old human and in his previous life, Moku died at the age of 78.

So if you add up with his age in his current life, Moku is currently 96 years of human age. Which he was older than the girls' age combined.

"Huh?" Ana is confused.

"Huh?" Moku is confused.

"Huh?" The girls watching were confused.

They all gaped with question marks on their faces.

"Hmm..hm.. So after successfully making his own karambit then that someone can be said as a Pandeka..." Moku cleared his throat and tried to return the conversation that had become awkward.

"But as I explained earlier, they have to reactivate their inner eye.

The process of activating the inner eye is very difficult, even I myself almost failed and died.

So for an orc to evolve like me it only has a one in million chance of success" Moku said in a disappointed voice.

He desperately hoped for dragon prana to be a way out for the orcs to escape their slump and compete for hegemony with mana species.

But the difficulty of the success of this evolutionary process makes Moku not sure to let the orcs try it. What happens if their small numbers reduced due to failures in the evolutionary process.

This evolutionary process could be a suicide event for the orcs.

Even so, the other orcs persisted in trying it even though the chances of success were very small. Moku can only delay their ambitions by providing conditionalities.

Moku hopes that such difficult conditions can break their will to undergo the evolution process or at least increase their chances of success.

"Any more questions? Otherwise can you explain how a human becomes a mage?" Moku asked.

"Hmm.. nothing.. I'd better start from the beginning with the existence of a mage.

This is a story that is told to all human children.

Humans are born with a flow of mana in their bodies. Even so they were not aware of it and were unable to sense the existence of mana. ƒ𝓇e𝙚𝔀𝐞𝚋𝓃𝐨𝘷e𝙡.𝒄𝗼m

In the beginning, humans still used the strength of their bodies and their ability to use weapons to survive.

They managed to create various weapons such as spears, bows, and swords. Gradually the weapons were studied more deeply and found a better and perfect way to use them.

The ways were then taught to other humans and began to appear schools and sects that taught humans how to use weapons.

The schools and sects continued to grow until there were humans who had the ability to use their body and weapons more than other humans.

They are never satisfied with the abilities they have and continue to train to become stronger. Until finally some of them managed to awaken the ability to control mana.

They were able to turn their skins hard as steel, split the ocean with the slash of sword, and shatter mountains with a punch.

Their godlike powers were ultimately worshiped by other humans.

They named themselves as Mana God.

These mana gods then found a second way to awaken mana control abilities in other humans.

The mana gods said that he had bestowed [God Blessing] on humans.

Those who have a sincere heart to worship a god will be given the power to use mana. While the disobedient will die.

Those who succeeded in awakening the ability to use mana through [God Blessing] were called the worshipers.

The mana gods then formed an army from the worshipers. This army of worshipers cannot be matched by an army of ordinary humans.

They also expanded the territory of the mana gods until there were no other rulers besides them. But this did not make the mana gods satisfied, then they fought each other for domination.

The war caused destruction, death, and suffering to all of humanity, especially those who did not have the ability to control mana.

However, not all mana users were as greedy, spiteful, and cruel as the mana gods. There were some mana users who felt that the destruction and damage done by the mana gods was too much.

They got together and did some research on mana. The research yielded results they never expected. They discovered the mana flow.

Mana flow is an organ in the human body that is passive and will only working after receiving certain stimuli from mana outside the body.

Mana flow is like the lungs that absorb oxygen without the need to be moved by human consciousness. Mana flow will absorb mana around the body and make humans adapt to the surrounding environment.

So even though humans have been able to absorb mana, they have not been able to control and use it freely.

The mana gods were someone who had the ability to use their bodies more than other humans, because of that they had managed to find a way to control and use mana after doing extremely hard training.

That is by creating a new or modified the mana flow in their bodies. These new or modified mana flow are called 'Constellations' because of their shape.

However the same thing did not happen to the worshipers who were bestowed [God Blessing].

The mana gods infuses their mana into the bodies of the worshipers and transforms the mana flow into constellations by force.

Worshipers who have successfully changed their mana flow will have the same constellation as their mana god, but those who are not successfully converted will end up in death.

That's why the researchers changed the name [God Blessing] to [God Corruption]. As a form of hatred towards the mana gods which had deceived them all this time.

After some experimentation and research, they found a third way to convert the mana flow into constellations, namely [Mana Potions]. free𝚠𝚎𝚋𝒏𝚘ѵ𝐞l.𝑐oｍ

I don't know for sure how the [Mana Potion] is made but the basic ingredients are the body parts of a mutated animal.

[Mana Potion] works the same as [God Corruption] where it introduces foreign mana into the body but the mana is not controlled by others.

Those who drank [Mana Potion] would learn how to control the new mana in their own bodies and slowly change their mana flow into constellations.

The researchers who succeeded in creating [Mana Potion] called themselves 'Alchemists'.

Alchemists and those who drank [Mana Potion] rebelled against the mana gods and their worshipers.

This rebellion turned into a great war known as 'The Great Human War'.

The Great Human War ended with the defeat of the mana gods and their worshipers.

The human who survived the war called themselves 'Mage'. A humble and simple call for mana users." Anna finished her explanation and fell silent.
