The Record of Orc Civilization

The great river split the vast prairie into two parts. With the immeasurable width of the river, anyone who saw it would think they had found a lake.

The Great River has river branches that spread and flow through Glittering Meadow and make this grassland very fertile.

On one branch of the river, the flowing water stopped and pooled for a long time. Gradually the stagnant water will absorb into the soil and make it muddy.

This process continues to occur continuously so as to form a new ecosystem in Glittering Meadow, the swamp. This swamp is overgrown with plants, insects, and birds thus creating a new food chain.

They continue to live together until the process of natural selection occurs. Small plants began to wither and large trees began to grow became the new skyscrapers of the swamp.

The trees began to multiply and dominate the swamp. They bear a unique fruit that may only be found in this swamp.

The fruit emits a very attractive odor to its predators. This makes the struggle for the title of ruler of the swamp begins.

From small insects to large birds come to fight for the hegemony of the ruler of the swamp. Until one day the real king came.

With a height of 6 meters and a body weight of 7 tons, a giant gorilla with 6 spikes in his back. Its huge forearm seemed capable of knocking down a giant tree with one hit.

He entered the swamp and became the ruler without anyone daring to oppose him. Each unique fruit of the big trees became the private property of the king.

With his large body, this Gorilla can't sleep on tree trunks. Although they have broad branches but the possibility of falling during a good night's sleep will cause a bad day.

He prefers to sit back and relax on dry land in the middle of the swamp. With fresh fruit around, this Gorilla is like going on a picnic and enjoying the moist air of the swamp.

Moku stalked the gorilla by sneaking in the mud. To get rid of his smell, Moku dives into the mud and only sticks his head out to observe.

Moku will not fight this giant gorilla without any information. Every piece of information he found would be the key to life and death in battle.

Moku watched him with inner eyes. Gorilla's whole body was enveloped by a light brown mist that felt calm and warm. Indicates that this gorilla is relaxing and not in alert.

In addition to the brown color, there is a different color of light mist emitted on several parts of its body. That part is the back, forearms, and chest.

It was a blue mist, showing the mutated body part of the gorilla.

Seeing this, Moku knows that this Gorilla has three mutated organs and based on Anna's explanation, he is classified as Silver or Golden tier danger mutated animals. Even so Moku doesn't know what their use is.

If seen from the way of life that dominates this swamp area, it can be ascertained that this gorilla is classified as a golden tier danger mutated animal. A dangerous opponent that Moku has never faced before.

Moku would call this gorilla Stugo, short for Stupid Gorilla.

After getting all the information he could find from his observations, Moku stood up. The battle will not end if you only observe from afar. Fist is also a form of observation.

Water and mud fell from his body. His tall stature made the sound loud enough for Stugo to hear. Their gazes met.

As if knowing there was a new challenger, Stugo stood up from his seat and his relaxed face turned fierce.

"ROAAAARRR!!" A loud roar rang out from his mouth showing his two sinister fangs.

The roar shook the entire swamp and made the surrounding water churn. Stugo shows his strength and threatens the challenger to withdraw.

Moku just smiled, from Stugo's roar, he felt the strength of his opponent overflowing. Moku will once again face a formidable foe. He put his stance down and prepared to run.

There was a distance of 500 meters from him and Stugo. The distance that can be covered in just a few seconds with his evolved body.

But Stugo will not make Moku approach easily.

With his big hands, Stugo dug up the earth that was nearby. Huge chunks of earth were pull off quickly. Even though the marshland has a wet contour it is still hard ground.

Stugo gripped the lump of earth hard and compacted it, making it harder than rock. With one arm pulled back, Stugo made a pitch to throw.

Moku didn't stay still, he rushed to run quickly, but Stugo roared and threw the stone in his hand.

The rock shot out as fast as a bullet and hit the area where Moku was.

"[Tiger Form]!"

BOOOMMM!!!

The rock that Stugo throwing was so fast that it caused an explosion that destroyed the area where it fell. The ground cracked and after effect waves made the trees tremble violently.

Stugo looked for his challenger from behind the flying dust. He still felt that his challenger was still alive.

And his hunch was right.

Tiger Form was one of the forms that Moku developed after being reborn as an orc.

By utilizing the orc's body's regenerating and resilience abilities, Moku changes the structure of his collarbone and shoulders to become more flexible. This allows him to run on four legs.

With his lower legs as propulsion and hands as a change of direction, Moku is able to run at incredible speed but can change direction swiftly.

Moku ran on four legs nimbly through the dust.

Stugo roared in anger, dug up another lump of dirt, and threw it.

BOOMM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

Rock by Rock Stugo threw but Moku nimbly and swiftly passed and dodged it.

Moku quickly arrived right in front of Stugo. But Moku just stood there and stared at Stugo.

Stugo didn't attack him either. They just looked at each other.

"Stugo, can you seriously fight now and not throw stones like a child?" Moku smirked.

"ROOARRR!!" Stugo returned Moku's grin with a loud roar and thumped his chest.

But the first attack came from Moku.

"[Eagle Form]!"

BAM!

Moku kicks Stugo's right leg and sends it flying backwards. Stugo lost his balance and knelt down.

Moku jumped up and clenched his fists, with all his might he swung them down.

BAAM!!

Stugo quickly blocked Moku's punch with his right hand causing their hands to collide and making a loud, deafening sound.

Moku didn't stop there, he quickly changed his body position and grabbed Stugo's hair and slammed it with all his might to the ground.

BAMM!!!

Stugo's head was slam to the ground and make it crack.

Unlike Tiger Form, Eagle Form does not change Moku's bones, but widens his lungs so that he can suck in more air. This causes his body mass to increase while his weight is still the same.

The energy that is formed due to the increase in body mass makes Moku become many times stronger and his body becomes lighter.

The fact that he was kissing the ground made Stugo go berserk. As a king, this was the first time he had been humiliated like this by his challenger.

"ROOOAARRRR!"

Moku wanted to finish the fight by hitting Stugo hard on the back of the head, but Stugo quickly got up and sent his body flying into the air.

Moku tried to balance his body in midair but Stugo's fist was quickly approaching.

"[Snake Form]!"

In this form Moku strengthens his joints and muscles, then relaxes his body. Making his current body like rubber.

His relaxed body will absorb the impact quickly and his strong joints and muscles will return the impact with the same force.

Stugo who hit with all his might was pulled forward by his own fist.

Moku grabbed Stugo's hand, pulled his hand with all his might, and threw him in the air.

BAAAMM!!! Stugo was thrown and landed on the ground causing the swamp to shake violently.

"ROAAARRR!!!"

Using the energy within the body to strengthen and transform all parts of the body is the true meaning of the third level of breathing techniques.

Moku not only uses the energy in his body to hit or dodge but instead transforms his body into what is defined as a monster.

If the first level of breathing techniques learns Tagak footwork, the second level of breathing techniques learns Picking the Fruit, then the third level of breathing techniques in silat is called Kaji.

The practitioner will meet the teacher in a special room or special place, there the teacher will teach the practitioner how to awaken the actual use of energy in the body.

Stugo rose slowly. His narrowed eyes showed that he was very, very angry.

He exhaled and let out white smoke from his nose. The spikes on his back lengthened and quickly covered Stugo's back with hard white bones.

Moku felt great danger overflowing from Stugo's body. He didn't stay still and approach quickly.

But unfortunately Stugo is faster. Unnoticed by Moku Stugo's fist was approaching his body. His eyes widened as he saw that his entire vision was covered by Stugo's black fist.

"[Snake Form]!"

Moku tries to absorb the impact with his snake form but Stugo's forearms change.

Stugo's forearm swelled up and looked like it was about to burst, Moku saw with his inner eye a burst of blue mana concentrated in Stugo's forearm.

The mana overflow swirled like a vortex and then exploded.

Suddenly, Moku's whole body felt a powerful vibration flowing from Stugo's fist. His snake form was unable to absorb that much impact, Moku vomited blood and his internal organs were injured.

Moku decides to stop absorbing the impact from Stugo's fist and releases it again.

"What the fuc—" But it wasn't Stugo's fist that deflected but his body flew backwards swiftly like an arrow released from his bow.

BUUUMMM!!!!! A deafening sound and violent waves overflowed from Stugo's fist.

BRAK! BRAK BRAK! Moku's body was blown away and hit the trees in its path.

If it wasn't for his body evolving and becoming stronger, then he would have been crushed to pieces when Stugo's fist hit him.

Moku's consciousness was almost gone, blood was flowing from his nose, ears and mouth. His internal organs were nearly destroyed and it will took him a long time to recover.

Moku opened his heavy eyes and saw something that made him dumbfounded.

Stugo's entire upper body is covered by bones that form a set of armor.

The sunlight pierced through the tree leaves, shining on Stugo and making the bone armor that was wrapped around him shimmer.

"ROAAARRR!!!" Stugo stood on his two feet and roared as he patted his chest. He showed who the real king of this swamp was.

"Well.. Well.. Well.." Moku smiled and pushed himself up.

Black blood was still flowing from his smiling lips.

"Looks like I underestimated the gold tier danger mutated animal. Datuak nan Sabatang could scold me if he found out" Moku patted his songket which was covered with mud and dust.

Then he looked at Stugo and said "Bhimasuta Form Active!!"
