I became King - Chapter 15

In all honesty, Irwin was happy that the parchment took out the serpents and the stone he had stored in the parchment inventory, because the ruthless parchment asked for 1 energy per hour as rent .

The parchment was really stingy when it came to energy, as for the stone he had called ' the purple parchment's blessing ' , it was the first time he had seen it as well and was looking forward at the transformation these creatures would experience.

He passed out when the parchment created the statue like stone so its appearance surprised him as well .

The base of it was basically a square made of refined stone, as for what was above, it was literally a bigger version of the purple parchment.

The only thing he would say was different would be the colour since the parchment had only used white rock materials to make it .

" Since you have accepted me as king I will now give you strength . Who wants to be strong ? "

All the orc warriors screamed in unision :

" ME ME ME "

Irwin told Turan to stand up and place his hand at the statue, and once he did golden letters of a language that even Irwin could not understand appeared on the statue and then suddenly, golden rays fell upon Turan. Everyone was looking at their fellow Orc covered by golden rays in full curiosity.

< My blessing might even grant some of them innate abilities or enhance their already existing ones, this is the first time one of my hosts have tried to advance monsters so even I am curious about the outcome >

Turan released a huge scream the sounded like a war cry and his body started to shrink a few metres, his long nails broke and his skin started turning from green into that of a human .

The orcs didnt have any hair however they started to spawn on top of his head until they grew long enough to reach his shoulders.

The only orc like characteristic that remained after his transformation was his muscles and height, even though he shrank he was still about 5 feet tall far above any normal human .

His appearance made even Irwin jealous, he wanted to be strong and with big muscles too.

Turan was shockingly looking at his hands and at his feet, he first turned around to face every orc that were looking back at him dumbfounded, after realising he was different now he quckly started kneeling in front of Irwin.

" Thank you king for your grace "

Even his voice had changed, he did not have the previous wild and rough one, it was a complete human like voice.

Irwin wanted to ask the others to come forward but the words that appeared on the purple parchment made him halt, they were the new details of Turan.

< Name : Turan ( advanced orc )

Humanoid species that comes from the orc family tree which will now be known as Orc- Kin .

Innate Ability: ' Never Back Down '

Becomes twice more powerful when facing an enemy much stronger than himself .

Skill: Berserk , HammerFall

" Cool, brother parchment I didnt know you could tell me the skills of others "

< you didnt ask >

The parchment remained as cold as usual but he was too impressed to even be mad at it right now.

Each noble family no matter how small had at least an army made of 30 000 men so his 3000 orcs were just a humble start for him, but it was finally the beginning of his journey that he had dreamed since he was little .

So what he thought, I have brother parchment I can become stronger than anyone else. Who cares that i only have 3000 orcs !

< dont be so discouraged kid, the statue wont only bless orcs >

" Wait.. Do you mean ? "

< thats exactly what I mean > the parchment said as if it had read his thoughts .

" Turan quickly, grab me one of those wolves "

Turan obeyed and pushed every orc that was still dumbfounded away until he reached the place where the beasts were chained , he broke one chain and grabed one of the wolves by its neck.

He appeared to be the biggest wolf of the lot.

Irwin's ability 'speech' allowed him to be understood by even animals, so he just ordered the wolf to place his right paw on the statue .

The letters appeared on the statue parchment again and the light fell down on the beast similar as it did on Turan, however the light this time was not golden, it was grey which made him think that everyone experienced a transformation based on their character.

The wolf's wailing soon started to turn into a human's crying, every hair in his body fell until he became fur-less and completely naked.

His posture changed into that of a human standing in 2 feet with a very good looking and sharp appearance.

" What is your name ? "

Irwin asked him to see whether he could now speak human tongue just like Turan.

" Master should give me one "

" Master? You mean me? Alright then you will be known as Fenrir "

It seemed that beasts turned human would call him master instead of king, not that it mattered to be honest since gaining the title King in Thesos would be the same as rebelling against the descendants of King Edmund. They were the only royal ones around here with every aristocrat having to accept their sovereignty.

But even though Irwin was never treated like a real noble, he still had basic understanding of things and knew how the political system worked around here.

Even though nobles had to obey the royalty, its not like they were their servants. The nobles had their own faction which was slightly less powerful that the royal faction and could even oppose the King in certain situations, which had led to major political battles and plots that might be going on at this very moment.

< I thought you would be happy after finally getting your army? Even though its small if you advance animal like monsters you could even grow a nation around here enough to challenge their sorry excuse for a kingdom >

" But whats the point though, its not like we can hide thousands of advanced monsters, the kingdom will find out about us sooner or later.

And I know how they operate once external threats are opposing, they all make a united army and will come crush us before we even have time to grow "

< there are ways to keep them busy though dont you think? If they are busy fighting someone else they wont have time or the military strength to come after you >

" I was thinking about that as well. Should I smash the barrier and let them defend themselves against a possible Elysium Invasion ? "

< you are dumber than you look, do you actually believe these weaklings could resist an Elysium invasion? They will fall within an hour and you probably would do, besides the amount of energy needed to destroy the barrier isnt something the current you can provide >

" This leaves me no choice then, if I cant fight them then I will have to join them ! "

His only choice would be to join the Arena of Life and Death, a competition created a long time ago by King Edmund to recruit powerful warriors all over the land into his faction, a tradition maintated to this day with both the noble and royal faction using this opportunity to get powerful warriors into their ranks, however the royals had the upper hand because they could even award one a noble title.

If Irwin won the competition, he would gain a title of nobility and all of his men would simply be known as members of his household. This way they would not fall as rebels !
