Why Were We Reincarnated as Orcs?!

@Timemaster Oh yes! I was hoping you'd get my hint!

@Rune_Alchemist That goes for Sarvok too.

Why Were We Reincarnated as Orcs?!

@Zeroth Im a little surprised they ate the tendons imho, they arnt usually considered food. Basically tough chords that are a bit like the spine and arnt particularly nutritious.

Anyway, if there are none there i'll just have to hunt. Which i was gonna do anyway so...

Yeyeyeyeyeye let's effing goooooooooooooo

@Zeroth

Yes boss!

Unless im mistaken no one ate the elwet stomachs and the tendons were discarded as offal?

Why Were We Reincarnated as Orcs?!

"Kai"

Kai was just wandering about a little ways outside the camp after being turned loose.

"I could easily just hunt some creature on my own, then i'd be pretty much first to return with a prize... but the animals around here arnt much like the ones back home... they're probably more dangerous than a buck. I should really look for help..." he thought.

He couldnt hear the noises of other Runtz. Though his nose picked something up. On the wind there was a slight smell of charcoal. He looked into the sky and saw a smoke trail.

"Somethins' cooking? If i meander around i might get to ask them what they hunted and what the dangers are"

He languidly walked around to the campsite but it was already empty. So instead he decided to inspect the entrails of what had been caught. Which was completely useless as you cant determine much from entrails, apart from what the animal ate. But he did decide to look for any tendons that were long enough. There were about 3 'piles'. He decided that if he found the tendons he would break off a branch from a nearby tree that was fairly club shaped or staff shaped and try to stretch them along the shaft by meticulously wrapping them around at the top if atall possible. If not, well atleast he had a club, which was better than this old stick. Which he tossed.

"Eyz, anyone elz 'round 'ere?" oh, that was odd... he had an accent... aside from his usual one. He might have to learn to live with it.

He saw the system notification of the "Skill" he had. Had he picked it or had it been pressed upon him?? I think i picked it... he'd noticed that it was a level 1 skill. Wonder what level 3 was...

He readied the skill should it be that whoever heard him call out was not friendly. He dug into his mind and thoughts where he thought it was located and tried to prepare it for immediate use.

Could really use a friend right about now. Hunting alone was not what hed been taught anyway... when... where was he from again?? Well! From 'ere! Aedven! No... nono... from America. How can someone be from two places? Whatwasit the goddess had said? Then he remembered.

"Jeezaloo... better than being dead..." Heh! Thats my normal voice!

True Age:

Past Life:

Norman Goodwin of Goodwin Logging Co.

Norman started his Logging company in the 70s. He was a hard man to please and required nothing less than absolute competence from his logging crew before he would put them in charge of a chainsaw. Goodwin was a sort of outdoors type and often went hunting in the same logging area. This suited him very well and the money was steady but there was something nagging at the back of his mind.

Many of his competitor logging companies would simply employ anyone who came to their door, a combination of immigrant workers and foolish young men. When they inevitably injured themselves the company would simply look the other way and send them packing. Not so with Normans' outfit. The number of accidents was far less than his competitors, and what this meant was fewer delays, soon his company was growing faster than the others because less delays meant more product.

However, it was one fateful journey while he was driving the long distance in one of his fleet of 4x4s down to the site that he heard a song on the radio. It was the usual hippy crap, but this one really struck him right between the eyes. "Why dont we plant new trees?" he asked himself. Soon he had expanded his company into logging AND planting. This was mostly unheard of at the time, but actually turned out to be quite a good move politically. Soon he had the odd reporter and local politician come around to gladhand. This caused his company to expand even further in his lifetime. A side benefit is that the trees they were planting would be fully grown soon and ready for even more harvest.

Normans life came to an end one day when he was driving long distance and was hit with a hail storm. This wasnt his first hail storm but it was the worst one he could remember. Trying to slow down he ended up spinning around and off the edge of a steep ravine.

All he could see was white snow in front of him until the inevitable 'thud' and immense pain in his hands and face. Strangely, though, the pain was replaced. Then he found himself in an altogether different place, standing in front of Jehanne. Then being born as a young Orc Runt!

Finally! A life to do all the things i never got to do!

@Zeroth
I left a few years for his reincarnated life. Guess i'll deduct those now and just make him older... i wasnt trying to break the game i just thought it was kind of nice. Obviously, his story hints at what Isekai skill he might be given. Which i'll leave up to your interpretation!

Snatched up into the sky by something black and frightening his last sight was white sky.
And again, he went on like this. The next time he was a small squirrel. Collecting nuts and preparing for the winter. He survived for some time until another great bird took him.
And so on and so forth. Until he found himself in an altogether different place, standing in front of Jehanne. Then being born as a young Orc Runt!

Ive only ever dnd'd once before and i really want to sink my teeth into this rich universe.

Addendum: No one seems to have done a sorcerer of stone yet. Is that legal? A guy who can manipulate stone?
