Torug's POV,
Black moon clan,
Throne hall
Sitting on my throne, I numbly stared at the lottery tab. There was only one available option there with the name [Soul cards], the rest were grayed with question marks.
Apparently this method is like the card game from earth, where they spread out cards while facing them downwards and you're told to pick one, the one you pick is the only thing you get.
'then what's the chances of me getting nothing?, I'm afraid this is to make less reliant on this lottery' I mused while reading through.
First of all, the method of getting system points hasn't really been established yet and now the lottery feels ...
I quickly select the option and found neat rows of Black cards, spread across my view. they were about forty cards, arranged neatly in five lines, each line has eight cards.
'all these, and I can only pick one?' I couldn't help complaining on my heart, not to mention that I could get nothing too.
It took me a while to stop my grumbling while consoling myself saying, "At least I get to be the one who picks the card".
All the cards were pitch black, without any difference, same shape and size. Honestly it made one feel pressured.
I was never one who would remain indecisive about such things, so I picked up the card at the very center of it all.
it began to glow in my hands and suddenly fell apart like loose sand before disappearing.
"okay?" there was an awkward silence and when I began to feel like I had picked up an empty card...
[Ding!]
[Your prize has been received and placed in your inventory]
[Please confirm]
I quickly opened my inventory and found, my Axe, Aether, a gray battle skirt and, "there you are"
It was a purple (epic) pill with x5 next to it, I quickly tapped on it to get it's characteristics.
The name was Evolution pill(Great), it had a smooth body and looked like a tiny bead.
[Evolution pill (Epic)- This is a pill that had once been popular amongst royalty in Lost planes of Methabet, it was used in breaking through the evolution circle by one step, with little to no side effects. Due to the materials used in making it, it can only be taken once in ones lifetime.
Quality: Great (Far from perfect)
Quantity: 5 ]
At some point, while I was reading it's description, a grin was already glued on my face. Amongst the top clans that I was aware of in the orc lands, they were in that position because of they people with high evolution circles.
My black moon clan has only been surviving from the eye sight of this big clans, only because, they are yet to tell our actual strength. But even then, someone is already eyeing my wealth and people, it's only a matter of time before things get ugly.
Our tribe doesn't have a single 3rd circle and that makes us a middle level clan at best, but this changes everything.
I eyed the pill and the character upgrade card in my inventory with a sickening laugh...
"You seem to be in a good mood" Janetta's voice came from the door, she rested on the side with her arms folded.
"Did you get it done?" I asked...
"Yes...you didn't tell me there was a power house residing in the church" She answered curtly before adding a few more words that confused me.
"Power house? the priest overseeing that branch should be at the 3rd circ...Unless..."I wanted to tease her but then it hit me, Davis Fairchild is the Champion of Ragol and should definitely have at least one Bishop guardian.
'how did I not think of this before? and if my guess is correct...it would be Bishop Rodney, that sick two faced...' I began to think about it but Janetta's voice broke me out of my thoughts.
"unless what?" She asked.
"Forget it" Luckily, spiders have strong senses, added with her uniqueness, if it was someone else that went, they wouldn't know how they died, "it's good that you succeeded"
Considering this, my plans of integrating the spider folks into my clan was further confirmed to be the right move, "I have always wanted to ask, what are your plans after you kill Selliqei?".
"I..."
"If I remember correctly, you said that there's no more queen candidates"
"..."
"you know you can never leave without a queen"
"...So what are you trying to say" She finally asked with a serious expression.
"Swear full allegiance to me, swear an Oath and I will make your problems all go away" I spoke slowly while getting up from my throne, with each word, I got closer to her and when I got to the center of the Hall, I spread my arms wide. I could feel my eyes heat up, which means they were glowing again.
"..." She looked at me silently for a second before coming closer to where I was standing, "How?..."
There was confusion written all over her face but I could tell she wanted to believe my words, a hideous grin spread across my face but I've stopped caring.
"What if I told you that, I had a to make you evolve into the third circle right now" I asked.
"That's impossible, the method to do that has been lost for centuries, the ..." She countered with a dejected expression, somewhat disappointed even. She was like an open book, her face tells me everything.
"that's why I said you should become mine" She blushed and I realized my wordings were somewhat strange but you can't cry over spilled milk, "I will make you evolve and also keep you away from the fate of having to become that". Well that's what the Breeding house is there for...
"I..." She was at a loss but her expression soon changed, it was filled with determination and she then said, "I swear to..."
"uh uh" I quickly stopped her while waving my index finger, "No, swear it...swear a Sacred oath".
Her facial expression changed to a frown, It can't be helped, although she seems trust worthy, She isn't an Orc or goblin who would have a despicable life if they betray their chieftain, the only way to do that is if you had someone who was ready to give you refuge or you overthrow your Chief with strength.
She was a spider folk, so the approach had to be different.
"I, Janetta Sewell, daughter of Queen Bokia Sewell, swear it this day, before the sight of the sky and earth..." Her voice was firm and slow but it held an unknown power, the hall became windy and the sky became dark... This wasn't a Sacred oath, no this was something worse...but I didn't stop her, better for me anyway.
"I name, Torug Blackmoon as my liege!" the sound of thunder could be heard outside and a system prompt appeared before me.
[Ding!]
[Janetta Sewell has requested of the world, to name you her eternal liege]
[Do you accept?]
'oh? I accept' the moment I accepted in my mind, I could hear a loud sound like the clanging of chain locks. then I could feel Janetta in front of me even without looking, it felt like branding but it different, it was a mysterious feeling.
[Ding!]
'Engraved?'
[Luegad has given up rights on the one called Janetta Sewell]
'...'
[Soul link has been established]
[Shared vision with Janetta Sewell is unlocked]
[Possession is now possible, duration Unlimited]
[As long as you are Alive, the one called Janetta Sewell will remain]
[You are now able to summon Janetta Sewell at will]
[The Breeding of...]
'??? what's with all this notifications' I quickly got tired of reading them, so I turned it off before turning to look at Janetta who seemed to have passed out at some point, 'was she trying so hard to prove her loyalty? I don't think so, I also don't think she has any idea what she had gotten herself into either'
I expected her to ask me for the sacred oaths chant but she did this...Now I'm curious about the one she had assimilated with, things aren't so simple as I had initially thought.
Unable to guess what she was thinking, I sighed before approaching her and fed her the pill I had just gotten from the lottery.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
