《Re: Conquest》 Prologue: (D. 1-5) Too Cold, Too Loud, Too Weak... "After everything I''ve been through, the last thing Im going to apologize for is my Paranoia." -Rihard Finney
Day 1 ... Where am I? Who Am I?... Why is it so dark.. Wait, theres some light!... Cold, its so cold... I dont want to be cold, the cold hurts- Ah! The dark is squeezing me to the light... I cant do anything about it, and it makes staying in the dark hurt... Maybe if I go to the light the pain will stop...? Once I actually reached the light though, I immediantly took that statement back. << You Have been born! Your age shall now progress normally! >> << Psychic Talent Unlocked! >> << Telepathy (Basic) Unlocked! >> <<^U+|-|0R Gifts obtained; "Age Negation", "Mental Non-Existence", and 100 Attribute Points Gained! >> ''What- is that??''

DONT KILL THEM-'' ''Ahh-'' ''No-'' ''KILL-'' ''Cleaning up your mistake-'' ''NOT THE CHILD-'' ... Zzz...(1) << Language (Basic) Acheived! (Unlocked: Human(Ba), Beastmen(Ba)) >> Day 2 After an unknown amount of time, with the screams ofthe dying and the roars of beasts reaching even to my dreams, this notification made everything not so hurtful, and stopped the thoughts from smashing into my head. << Telepathy Leveled Up! Proficientcy reached Beginner >> << Language Levels up(x2)! Proficientcy reached Adequate (Beastmen (Ad), Human(Ad)) >> << Leveled up (x?). Check in Status Menu >> The screaming... its finally gone. That was horrible, so many screaming out to kill, so many screaming out for their lives... Every time one died, It made less pressure on my head. Less pain from their extreme emotions... They were so damn loud.. And then they were killed. I think... I have to stay quiet if I want to live. Cant die. If I die then... I cant- I cant remember why I want to live so badly..Argh My head hurts thinking about it.. Lets just move away from the thoughts giving me pain. What are these things? They seem to be connected to the voices that were in my head.. Whats Telepathy? Or Levels? Whats a Status Menu- < Full Status, Status, Skills, Attributes(!), Equipment > ... Did it respond to my thoughts? Ah, thats a bit freaky.. I guess we should check the Full status then-

Hiss That hurts... Too much info at once.. I suppose that we shouldnt do Full Status again anytime soon..Equipment seems almost unneeded.. Skills can be useful, when I get more skills I dont know about.. Mainly attributes would be useful, along with Status. It seems I am a hybrid, but does that mean? Is there any way to find out? If I try to touch it? If I say "Arctic Minotaur-Human Hybrid"? No? How about if I focus on it- << Arctic Minotaur-Human Hybrid; A hybrid between humans and Arctic Minotaurs. Humans are the co-dominant race on the planet Arret, Second only to Mermen, followed by Orx, Elvz, and Beastmen. "Arctic Minotaurs" are a unique and rare Species, originated from the already rare "Berserk Minotaurs". Arctic Minotaurs are able to think much more carefully then their wrathful cousins, and use almost human cunning to capture, kill, and trap their prey. >> ... Well, that was alot more information than I was expecting.. And if I focus on this? <> Alright then.. I should definitely aim for gaining titles then.. There seems to be alot of white noise just outside my reach. If I just rech out, I know I can "touch" it.. But will it get Loud again..? Lets just touch it for a second just to be safe.. ''The stars are rising. Quickly hide the young.'' ''Careful, Adventurers nearby-'' Mm, Looks like danger is nearby again. Nothing I can do about it just yet.. Im getting so tired.. Hopefully I wont die in my sleep... ... Zzz... Day 3 Mm... I think Im starving.. Honestly a bit surprised that I havent been fed just yet, but maybe if I grab their attention I can get fed... The only way I can think of getting their attention without making too much noise is to either move or open my eyes. I cant move so easily, due to my muscles feeling weak against whatevers holding me, so opening my eyes it is.. I try to open my eyes for the first time, and first thing I see is White. Light. So much light... I close my eyes again, before trying again, slightly flinching into the thing thats carrying me. It grunts and notices Im awake. After several attempts, My eyess finally get used to the light and white, and Im able to make out shades of grey and shapes. Looking around I saw that I was actually being carried by a big grey shape. It had the face of muscular wolf(1), a giant mane of fur around its neck, two large horns, and two intense yellow eyes(the first real color I have seen..)... Is this an ''Arctic Minotaur''? ''Looks like my pup is up. Should feed it before it gets noisy.'' Looks like I was right in that they really dont like noise. Considering that it says that im its pup, this is my parent. Judging from the fact it didnt breast-feed me (and it definitely has no breasts), Its my father. But if hes my father, wheres my-... Ah.. I look down at the meat I am eating. Its a humans arm(..How do I know that?..), the arm of the species of my mother.. Looking around, I see a few human skulls tied to their loincloths, as well as a few of the Minotaurs eating some human limbs like chicken wings... But no living human to be seen. Mm.. I guess momma was too noisy... That seems to be how things are here. Too much noise, and theymake you quiet. Being Quiet seems to be a working strategy, but I do need to get stronger.. Looking at myself... I was tiny compared to my Father.. It could be cause I wont mature for a few days or so, something I picked up by the idle thoughts of Father, but I was barely a fourth of their height. I was smaller than their arms length, and so thing I looked to be made of bone and skin. My ribs were easily seen as well, showing my starved body... but... Why was I so pale..? Most of my Minotaurs are dark grey, while Im actually snow white. My skin was feverish and sickly, my mane was only on the top of my head. Taking some strains of it in front of me, it was very thin and silky, long enough for me to see it, and also pure white... My face was that of a human and feeling the top of my head were two horns. But they werent thick and strong like the others. They were thin, fragile, and slightly bendable.. Unlike how minotaurs had horns like bulls, I had horns like a young and frail deer. It was terrifying how I was at the mercy of them all.. I cant even put it off as me being young, since there were others that were also small and young, but had muscle, were darker skin, and thick bull horns... And thats how I discovered something that would haunt me for most a very long time... << Enough knowledge obtained! Status Effect "Metabolic Mypathies" and "Cold Intolerance" revealed! >> I am sick with life threatening diseases... << Metabolic Mypathies; An inheritable disease that causes the muscles to be very weak. No known treatments. >> << Cold Intolerance; Someone that gets colder, sicker, weaker, etc in cold enviorments than most beings.>> ... ... Day 4 After the shock of being disabled, I missed a whole day due to my terror. I couldnt stop freezing up in fear whenever someone looked at me, afraid that they would decide I was too annoying to let live.. After all, I seem to be the only one who actively gets sick and weak when in the cold, while thy are built for this enviorment... Shaking my head lightly, not too much so my father wont notice though, and decided to think on my situation, and maybe how i can improve it. I cant seem to hunt alone due to my physical weakness, even if I grow up in a few days.. But there are other ways to get stronger... The most available and easiest to improve would be my Psychic talent, considering that just requires my mind.. Another would be trying to gain titles, but I dont know what scale it takes to get any kind of title.. Father suddenly puts me down, and grunts at me "Time to walk yourself Pup. Cant rely on me forever." And so, I attempt to keep up with the tribe, trying my best to not fall into the absolutely freezing cold snow with my shivering legs.. They have no problems with the cold due to their fur and Manes, but I only have fur on the top of my head...This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there. It makes sense though.. How can they understand my suffering? No Minotaur was ever born so weak, or even sick it seems.. So they treat me like they would normally treat a Minotaur.. I cant complain about it either, or they may even consider me to be noisy... I have to hide under trees to make sure the wind doesnt practically push me into the snow... Im just too different, too "unique" from the others it seems... << Congratulations! By Introspecting, you discovered you are an Anamoly among your species. Title "Abomination" revealed! >> Ah... A title... Its a depressing title, but a title nonetheless! L-lets check it out...Cough.. << Title: Abomination; You are a freak of nature, something thats impossible, yet still exists. ( Relations -50 with alll factions. Gained the status effect "Unrestricted Psychic", gains 20% more exp(Only when active). >> << Unrestricted PsychicAcheived! >> << Unrestricted Psychic; Able to learn all abilities of the Psychic talent, and faster by 75%. >> ... W-well... The description is a bit mean, and t-the negative relations definetely seem to beworrying... B-but the rest seem f-fantastic-Cough Cough! Ugh.. Needing the warmth, I try running over to my father without falling...Plop-ARGHHHH!! ITS SOCOLD! I quickly get up and rush over to my father, wrapping the edge of his white cloak around me, teeth chattering all the while.. I think my feet are starting to get a bit blue... He looks back at me, before grunting and picking me up again, wrapping his cloak around me like a bundle around a baby. After a couple of minutes, I warm back up to the point that Im not slowly getting frostbite anymore, and can think without my mind stopping mid-thought.. Sigh, Im still so weak.. Looking up, I see a couple of bugs just flying around in the cold wind.. I wish I can be like them.. Maybe if I try to connect to them mentally like I do with the others, maybe I can ask them how it is to be so warm... Or maybe even feel it for myself! Reaching out with my mind, instead of just opening it up for the whole world like throwing a bucket of water at the air, I decide to "poke a hole" in this "bucket", flowing it towards the bugs, before I suddenly got a connection. They seemingly try to fight back, but their resistance is so small I can hardly notice it.. Before I can realize what I am doing, the resistance suddenly stops, and I get a notification.. <> << Mind Control (Basic) acheived! >> << Mind Control; Able to control the minds of others. (Basic) Only able to control things with no self awareness, and are physically smaller. >> This... feeling... Being connected to them lets me feel a bit like how they feel. Where before I would feel an omnipresent chill in my bones, Now I can feel a very faint feeling of warmth from the edges of my senses.. Like being near a fire, yet too far to be really warm but close enough to feel a hint of warmth... Trying this with other Wasps, this feeling grew, and a new sense of longing.. Of addiction grew. I grew addicted to this feeling of true warmth, but no matter how many I ended up controlling, it only seemed to bring me closer by millimeters... After a couple of minutes, the hornets are flying around my father. He looks annoyed, but I feel almost giddy with excitement. I think for them to go high, they go high up. I think for them to hide and follow, they do just that... This sense of control over something that thrives in this enviorment, while I am deathly weak... I can get used to this.. After a few minutes of playing around with my new bugs, Father jerks and makes a few grunting noises tothe others in the clan.. "Adventurers, coming this way fast. Must hide young, distract humans..." My father says, worried. "No way to survive it seems... We must make sure that our young stay alive at the least, so our species in this area doesnt die out.." A very large and black skinned minotaur with four horns, three dots under each of his green eyes, says. Im pretty sure that hes.. No.Shes... "Your right chief. For our children, for the clan!" Another Minotaur I couldnt see roared. Then, and only then did I feel it. A large bundle of minds came in my radius of "influence". I cant read their minds, but just feeling theirminds flow, it was very different to the wild and loud white noise of our clansmen. It was almost quiet, but in a looming danger sort of way. It was strong, stronger than any of us here besides me.. And thats terrifying! Im a Psychic, yet they have the minds to nearly match my own... These adventurers... They are the true danger it seems... And their coming this way, with the intent to slaughter us all!! The Wasps move around radically with my agitation, and barely stay unnoticed a couple dozen meters away.. My father quickly rushes to hide me high up in a snow covered tree. It would work to hide me, due to the snow white cloak thats warming me up... But... "Father..." I say my first word, desperation, fear, and confusion very evident in my tone.. And my father stops from climbing down to look at me. HIs expression softens a bit, and he says stroking my cheek. "You look so much like your mother... Survive son. The strong live, and the weak live to be trampled by the strong. If we die today... Its only because we were too weak." My eyes tear up as I hold onto his hand, feeling it slip away. "D-dont go.." I say, weakly, almost sobbing from how quick this all is happening. This is too fast! Why... I havent even lived a week, and my whole clan is about to et wiped out... "Please dont go..!" I dont care if Im being noisy, how am I expected to survive on my own? I dont know anything... He looksat me trying to get up, and easily makes me sit back down. "Stay." I try again to get up, and he puts me down again, harder. ''I said Stay.'' He says into my mind, and fora few moments, Im am shocked. I thought I was the only Psychic in the clan... These few moments give him time to jump back down, and run off. Right before hes out of sight, he looks back, and thinks to me ''Be stronger. I believe in you, Ouroboros...'' ... That night, was full of screams, of roars. I felt as every single clansmen died out one by one, where the adventurers didnt sustain a single casuality. My whole clan, where one can kill me with a single hand, was all easily taken care of... I here explosions, large flashes of light in the distance.. But.. Im too terrified to move. If they cant beat them, how can I? Eventually, I felt my fathers mind die out like a flickering fire. Soon, there was only the Chief, but even after a couple of minutes, with only one or two adventurers suddenly dying... I felt her mind flicker off forever as well... Weak... We were all too weak, and so we were trampled on by the strong... If I was only a bit stronger, only a bit smarter, maybe I couldve helped..! Maybe they wouldnt all have died like filthy animals!! The adventurers choose to loot through my clansmen bodies, as if simply killing them wasnt enough, they chose to disrespect their bodies!I''ll show them... They made a mistake in not even trying to search for others... Just because Im weak now, doesnt mean I will be weak forever!! I dont need to be strong.. With my powers, I can use the abilities of others to become strong, and all I need to do is use either my mind or body to make their power mine... After a couple minutes of mentally ranting to myself, in a natural attempt to keep sane, I decide to collect the other young beastmen. I open my mind, and find them easily. I quickly start hushing them and calming them down before they get loud, walking and taking them along the way. In total, there were only 8, including me... As the sun sets, the humans made camp not too far from my clans corpses.. But I need things that were left in that field. Weapons, fur, meat, armor... As I walk around looking for a place near the field, I send the few wasps I have to go towards the field to scout it out for me. Before they go out, I do my best to take away any memories that may give any psychic Adventurers any hint of our existence. At the same time, trying to make them docile around us so they dont kill the very few beastmen we have.. << Mind Wipe (Basic) acheived! >> << Mind Wipe; Able to destroy any undesired memories from the victim. (Basic) Only works on small critters and bugs. >> << Mind Control leveled up! Proficientcy reached Beginner. >> << Level up! >> A level up.. Good. I need to check my attributes after this and place my free AP... I try several times to connect to them more, bein their minds.. and after a couple of minutes, I feel that warmth I was yearning for, if technically its all in my head... << Minor Mental Possession (---); Able to possess things that are at least 10 times smaller than you and see through their eyes and senses. No number limit, cannot be increased. >> Huh, This is a very good skill! This may even let me control a hive under my complete control, if I can get find a hive later on.. Also useful to not have to make absolute sure they are under my control.. Sending out the 30 hornets I have, I send 10 to scout for shelter, and the other 20 to search the battlefield and camp of the humans so I wont waste too much time looking and taking the things there... After a few seconds, they came upon the battlefield (which turns out to be only a couple dozen meters away...). The battlefield seems to have very few human corpses lined up sided by side covered in cloth.. A few weapons are scattered around, a few shields and spears and swords. Most are spears though, which considering our adult clansmen were three times their size, is probably smart.. I saw many fur cloak on our clansmen as well as a few trinkets, and quickly make my way over to collect the weapons, furs, etc. The hornets continued to search the battlefield for anything that may be of use.. And did find some armor under the cloths covering the human corpses. It doesnt fit me just yet, but maybe it will when I grow a bit more. If not, it can be scrapped to make other things.. As I went through the field, I saw something that made me tear up again. It was my fathers corpse. Half of his body seemed disinigrated almost, a burnt smell coming from his body... That face.. taht was once full of life and vitality, showing annoyance at my bug antics.. Showing sadness when leaving me... Suddenly the tears were flowing down, and I was quietly sobbing on my knees. My mind almost went blank, with only his last words in my head. Be stronger, I must be stronger than him if I ever wish to survive this cruel world. I only known him for a few days, but he was all I had. My only real family.. And he was tooweak. Too weak to show a strong face in front of his only son, too weak to see a hopeless situation for what it was... Was it because of me? Did I make him weaker? Was it because he felt sad, because he knew it was a helpless fight and so lacked the motivation to keep living? He died because of his stupid emotions! Stupid!Punch Idiot!Punch Why?!Punch Why am I the one who has to lead the Pups! Im too weak, Im sick!!Punch Punch Punch! I... cant do this... But I cantnot, because.. If I die, It would just prove that I really am as weak as you, and I would never be as strong as I know I can be.. I need to survive... And to do that, I cant be alone. Im too weak to survive alone, and starting a new clan of Beastmen is the first step to becoming strong.. Wiping my eyes, I resolve to never cry again. To suppress my emotions so I wont die like this... I will not die! All I need is time, and I can grow strong.. Thankfully I amAgeless. I have all the time in the world to kill off those who threaten my life. And if they just so happen to be the ones who killed my father? So be it. But for now, I must bide my time.. The camp also has a couple of men awake and looking around for any obvious danger. Theres a large amount of food there... but itd be best to just take what I can, and not so much that their going to go out their way to find me... Doesnt mean Im not gonna send all my hornets to eat up their food as I spend a few more hours collecting off the corpses and getting the weapons, furs, armor, and a light Minotaur to the others who may help me.. I may not like it, but we do need food if we wish to survive... The hornets I sent out to find shelter found very deep cavern that leads to an underground trench, but its a couple hundred or so metres away, and we have to go through the thick cold forests to get there... I suppose none of my little clan is getting any rest tonight. We need to be there before the sun comes up and the humans find out that something took their dead companions armor, weapons, and furs, and even the cloths covering the human corpses.. Getting my hornets back and on the inside of my cloak(Its much more comfortable thanthem on my skin, and I feel more safe with them this close..), I use my Telepathy to send the feeling of safety to my little clan before they make noises.. Sadly, It seems like I wont get lucky by coming across a hive... but a blizzard is also startng up... Rushing the Pups, we barely made it before I wounded up in a life or death situation..Cough... I did get 10 more hornets along the way, leaving me at 40 to be used, so thats good at least.. I suppose we will have to wait out this storm before we can do too much, huh? I suppose it is time to rest.. Its been a long and sad day. We all collected into a small pile and kept each other warm throughout the night, and I eventually fell asleep through the sound of their warm beating hearts... Day 5 After we all woke up, everyone was much bigger than they were last night. At the time I am the tallest already at 9 feet, despte not being fully mature yet. I was still thin, with long limbs and a sickly look though. Looking around, the other minotaurs grew up with fur covering their bodies, a big mane, and a large amount of muscles..Sigh.. And I have to make sure they stay in line... First though, we need to secure this cave entrance so that things dont just come in and out as they please.. Grabbing a few large pole arm with axes at the end, I tell some of them to start chopping some trees around the cave entrance down so we have a clear area surrounding the entrance to our base. Not to mention I need wood for a fire to keep myself warm in this windy and cold cave entrance, and maybe we can use it as basic building materials.. After they head off, I tell the other minotaurs to grab a weapon, and tried to train them with what little knowledge I had about them. It was enough for them to get the basic skills for them, so they can use it without killing themselves accidentally at least.. I send them off to go hunting, but not to go too far. We did see bears on our way here, and those are too dangerous to hunt for now.. I did most of this through telepathy, considering they dont know enough of the Beastmen language to speak it just yet, but it was surprising to see a few respond to my telepathy! Seems I may not be the only Psychic in the clan which is good.. I would feel a bit more unsafe if we had none among us.. Though there is now a chance for rebellion due to this... I need to prepare for that and watch the others closely in that case. I just need to teach them how to hunt properly without killing themselves or giving themselves away, and to use the telepathy skill to their advantage. I''ll make sure the other three active Psychics learn the telepathy so as long as one is open, we can hunt efficiently ( My plan includes giving some animals like deer or such a sense of security via telepathy to attract them and kill them off. A similar scenerio if they meet something too strong for them..), and to avoid any human contact. Mm... I do need to personally grow stronger though, if I dont want to be overthrown.. Who said a revolt has to be only one guy? I need to be strong enough to get their respect, so they dont band together to kill me when our population grows... Lets open my Attributes then.

Yes... I can feel myself grow stronger, a tiny bit more muscle growing, my brain expanding, my awareness of everything in my body and such all increasing with but a tinge of pain.. Lets just hope that this is enough for now... Onto my tools, I think solely relying on Hornets, or bugs in general may be a dumb decision.. I will focus a little on the hornets, but I do need to find small animals as well.. Could be fun seeing through their eyes and senses i suppose.. I send most of the hornets to go out and collect more hornets and scout the outside, while I use the rest to scout out deeper into the cavern. After a couple or so hours of contemplating what may be the most useful animal to start with, and what Psychic abilities I should try and get, the minotaurs came back with plenty of meat, as well as we have a dozen or so trees.. They were skinning the animals and taking off the branches (after I commanded them to of course. They would eat that deer skin, bone, and meat all if they had their way...), when I suddenly felt somethingHumanoiddeep into the caverns.. There were a few bats inside, a couple snakes, plenty of cracks in high up walls for hives or people to hide in... But I felt a sentient being trhough my hornets(This requires further investigation..).. It was a new race of humanoid beings, or at least they werent beastmen or humans. They had dark grey skin with pupiless lavender eyes, long sharp ears, and long raven wild hair.. They also seemed to have bug carapace armor and stone weapons. I stared in wonder at what they were, before I got a new skill. << New skill obtained! Observe is now LevelN/A!>> <> Huh.. Observe? << (Dark Elv) Bopiz Lv.?? >> ...

(Edited in cause you dont know what the worship effect is The Worship effect is when you have people worship you. It can be any species, in any way. Some are worshiped as heroes, some as gods, some as a legendary monster, etc. The Worship effect is made from the idea that the more powerful more people perceive you, the stronger you actually get. Every 10 people worshipping you is a 0.1 increase in stats (which if you have a large civilization, and strong base stats, its really noticable.) An exampl would be if you had 20 strength, and 100 worshipers. thats a 1.0 increase, making your stats double from 20 to 40. Idk how to exactly show it though, since many would perceive x1.0 as no increase, which isnt the case. In this story, a x1 increase can be considered doubling whatever stat is being x1.

Day 5 (Continued) This isnt good. Maybe if we were bigger, or at least had alot more numbers, I wouldnt be so worried... I have a limited amount of resources and people to use if they ever find us and decide to attack us! They would destroy us, even if we had double, triple our number! Why? Well, I just finished sending out a bunch of wasps to subtly scout them.. Theres not one clan. Theres around 30... And every clan has an average of 50 Dark Elvs. There are also several groups of "Adventurers" harvesting the corpses of our forefathers. On a side note, I should test out how far my mind sensing and reading can go, and if I can do it through my "hosts". I... need to train everyone. Including myself, if we want any chance of survival in the long term. Need to test my current limits to see how I can improve, need to work on an actual fighting style, and need to train my extremely limited numbers how to weild weapons and use their psychic powers to at least basic degrees... Its going to be a long day... Day 6 So I found out something very very important early today... Something that may be vital in how I grow my clan. Psychic powers DONT WORK on other Psychics. At all. The only possible thing we can do is telepathy, and only if they dont realise it (which means their unawakened) or generally consent to it. This means quite a few things, such as I cant use these guys with Mind Control if they get rebelious, I cant use them as hosts in any sense of the word, and I cant kill them so easily considering Im so much weaker than them... And this may not even be all. Im sure that Psychics arent the only ones immune to mental manipulation. This means I cant only focus on my Psychic abilities, but may actually need to train or find other soruces of powers to make me stronger. Mm.. Maybe I can kidnap some humans later on and learn how they get so strong. Even common knowledge would be better than no knowledge. However, thats something for the future, no matter how near. For now, I teach the others at least the basics of spear, sword, and such physical trainings. Of the Eight of us, only 3 actually have Psychic Talent that seems unlockable by what we have. The other are dormant, but still have basic telepathy. Dont exactly know how that works, considering I was born active, but whatever. As I trained them in such matters for a day or so, I did some experiments on the side. Like testing how far my Psychic range was, and if hosts can be used as... branches of my infulence, in an attempt to use my powers through them. Turns out my max range was around 100 meters in radius. And for the power through hosts thing, turns out its a yes. I can use them to extend my reach. Which would be awesome, if I didnt seem to be at a bottleneck in my mind control. I can control who knows how many bugs, or small critters. Those are easy. But to progress, I need something harder. Sadly, sentients are apparently very very hard to even infulence without their notice, and very much impossible to control for me. In order to control sentients, I need to progress this skill, however I cant prgress it without controlling sentients. As such, Im currently at an impasse. Its not immediantly important, but I do wish I wasnt so limited... Sigh.. Guess I will just have to send out my Minotaurs to hunt some things like bears soon, or we will run out of food. Surprised we lived so long with so little food, but thats most likely because I cant eat much without my stomach cramping up and me throwing it back up. Day 7 Cough Cough... Damnit, it looks like I caught a cold, despite being near a bonfire all the time... The others do seem to look up to me despite my sickness, due to how their able to take on beasts they thought too dangerous before. I can see their loyalty clearly from this little notifaction. << Acheived Title; Minor Horde Leader. You lead a small group of loyal beastmen. +100 relations with your clan, allows you to name your clan and clansmen, +15% Beastmen join your clan. >> Not sure what I will name it jsut yet, will put it off for now. At least i can name them now though. Once they do something actually unique and worth notice, I will name them. Otherwise, they arent worth the effort to remember them. Oh, I forgot to mention that I am now in control of a Hive Queen, so now Im controlling a couple hundred Poisonous wasps that I forced to make their hive at the top of our little undergroudn trench. Also found out that their poison is actually something of a paralyze sort of poison, but when stinging with one wasp on a large rabbit a couple dozen times, it can stop the heart and brain, killing it. Thus, they are my main weapon for now. Hence why I hide at least 30 under my cloak at all times. Dont know if one of these guys will get overconfident and try to overtake my authority. While they are my main weapon for now, I started training myself in using a battle axe. It was funny seeing the expressions of shock that the minotaurs gave me when I easily picked up an axe almost as big as me. Especially when they tried to wield it and almost cracked their bones with the strain. Such is the power of stats I suppose. Eating some strange(and sweet) crystal-textured white fruit called "Frostbite Peach", I used my power in an attempt to control a bird. It was a simple small Snow Owl, yet it was much much harder to control than the wasps. The wasps ate things that were already long dead and rotted, or the occasional live invader (this also make the poison from the queen necrotic it seems, considering she eats the most of it). However, Snow Owls are smarter than hivemind bugs, very very perceptive, and they need to hunt small critter to survive, which means I cant get angry at it and mind wipe it. After a couple of hours, I of course succeeded, and got my first scout-focused host. Petting the now mind controlled owl, It cooed in pleasure. A name came into my head, and I smiled as I . decided to name her something that for some odd reason felt slightly familiar and fitting. "There''s still much work to be done, eh Hedwig?" I say in a dry hoarse tone. She hoots in agreement, and I feel slightly comforted by the fact that I dont have to mind wipe her. Not unless she becomes comprimised...If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. Cough Cough Day 8 Im now offically more than a week old now, and it seems my physical maturity is near. I stand at a small (compared to the other minotaurs 18 feet) 9 feet tall. My body is still sickly pale, and unhealthily thing despite my many meals. I feel like some sort of spider with how thin and fast I feel and move. A spider.. That would be a decent way to describe how I plan on being like. A fast striking creature, that sets up a web of influence around itself. So far I have a hand full of owls, and the number of hornets are growing by the day. The Adventurers finally left the area, and the Dark Elvs seem completely unintersted in attempting to reach the surface. This is good. This gives us room on the outside to work with on the outside, without having to worry about invasions behind us. Just in case though, I made sure that the Wasps were vigilant in giving me useful information. Good thing I found a way to filter out the unneeded things from our connection. It was actually a bit like ignoring your nose. Your always able to see your nose, but your brain just forces you to naturally not notice it, unless you go out your way to try. Anyways, I think we should do something I really doubt clans of Minotaurs, or even beastkins in general, ever tried. Herding, taming, and domesticating animals. We will start small, with mountain goats that breed unbeleivably fast and would eat almost anything, they provide good meat, fur, and milk if its done right. The milk would be good cause its getting to the point where snow melted water isnt giving us enough hydration. The furs would be good for many reasons, the bones would be good for weapons or such, the meat for obvious reasons, etc. Honestly, the hard part would be making sure that the Minotaurs dont accidentally kill the goats with their size, or scare them off when they get fustrated and kill one or two out of anger. The one who grabbed a goats head and smashed it with another goats head, blowing both their heads up, amused me enough to give him the name "Bob Goatbane". Of course it did take a whole day just for them to get their anger, fustration, etc in check and are now able to actually herd them. Still unable to milk them, but they are breeding fast under our feeding and protection. Shouldnt take more than a day or so to have them learn the delicate process of milking a goat. Sadly, that means the one who has to milk them for now is the one who has the smallest hands, aka me. Seriously though, If they dont get it by the end of tommorrow, I will paralyze someones leg in such a way that they have cramps all day, and will be forced to carry all the bonfire wood. By themselves. Screw these guys, Im supposed to be the weak slacker in this group, not them! Day 9 Most of them got it, but Bob didnt learn it before sundown. Of course, he got the cramp treatment. Id kill them to send a message, but considering how small of a clan we are, thats too extreme. While they were milking and treating the goats, I was training in using the bugs in combat, as well as learning to use my speed and momentum to my advantage whe using a battleaxe. Of course my targets were usually some bears or other small predators that got too close, but I think that killing them within a dozen or so strikes is pretty good. At least considering what they have to go through just to live here. Their hide was made to make a new fur cloak for myself, kept together by the bears curled and very tough claws. The bear skulls were used as shoulder armor, and the rest of the bones were made into mini fences for the goats. We now had a big 50 meter radius clearing, no stumps of trees anymore, in front of our cave. Its strange how my blade never dulls, but I suppose thats just because of Age Negation. I suppose run down equipment wont be a problem anytime in the future. Just one small thing to not worry about I suppose. Oh! Lets not forget these skills I got! << Two-Handed Axe Mastery(Basic) Skill Unlocked! >> << Volukinesis Acheived! Currently Limited to only Snow Poison Wasps >> Not as much as I would like, but its way better than nothing. Heres how my skill list looks like, even if it isnt much.

Mm, I definetely need more skills, but it will do for now. Time to try and get our Minotaurs some children, considering they are mature and we definetely need the numbers. Luckily we do have a few females in our small group, two or three tops. not much, but will have to do for now. Of course Im not going to participate in these breeding rituals. The noises coming from the caves sound simply... revolting to me. Not to mention I definetely need to get stronger to protect myself and our clan, before I ever think of trying to find a mate. And so, thats how I spent my ninth night of this mysterious world. Training by attacking thick trees under the full moon and bright stars, the sound of howling and loud grunting ehoing from the caverns, giving nightmares to the poor goats who had nothing else to listen to. Me? The cloth from those corpses a couple of days ago were put to good use as earmuffs. Day 10 After that horrifying night, it seems our efforts to have our women pregnant was successful, at the expense of some of my (and the goats) sanity. Alas, our efforts definetely werent in vain, and now the men were much more confident with themselves, as well as determined to keep them protected. Unfortunately, that also meant one or two of them got cocky and wanted to be chief. Mm, here I was minding my own business with my little wasps when some idiot came walking up behind me, roaring about how he wanted to challege me to be chief. So of course, I didnt even look at him and sent a couple dozen wasps oneot his face and stung him so that he became paralyzed, before twirling my body, and swinging the axe to cut off one of his thick horns. You see, our horns symbolize how strong we are. The thicker the horns, the stronger others of your clan usually perceive you. Im the only exception to this rule considering Im not completely Beastman, but imagine how bad it would be to have one of your horns cut off? Itd be as if a king lost half of his crown, they just wouldnt have the same... infulence as they could have or did. This is why I did that. I would kill him, but I would prefer more minotaurs to protect me and the soon to be born beasmen anyways. Killing one will hurt me too much in short term. If it happens again later on, teh he will die regardless of what th situation is. Considering he is the first to be rebelious, as well as the only one of us to have one horn, I shall dub him "Sparticus Halfhorn". Now that thats been settled, I think I will take a short walk outside and enjoy the fresh air. Ah, yes the chilly wind definetely is soothin- Cough Cough Cough! Damnit!! Just whe I thought the fever went away.. Ah, its snowing. The landscape is mountainous, and so usually full of snow, but this is my first time seeing the snowflakes falling from the sky... Its beautiful, seeing how the delicate and complex snow going with the flow of the wind. A bit like myself. Fragile, Complex, and just going with what life throws my way. Mm, thats not the worst name. Yeah. I think Its a bit nice to name the clan after something the creator relates to. The Clan of Snowflakes. Chuckles Man, we may give grown men heart attacks just hearing our terrifying clan name. Ah well, if they underestimate us, all the better. Makes it so much easier to kill things when their caught unawares, rather than if they expect the worst. Well, I better get back inside to get warm. I feel a cough just itching to get out my throat, and I Wont Let It! (D. 11-20) The Power of Paranoia "You dont trust everything you see. Even salt looks like sugar." -Unknown
Day 11 So today I plan on leading a hunt with the whole tribe. Not including the pregnant women of course, no need to risk the future of our clan. So I got us all equiped with our weapons, and tied some sheets of metal on top of their fur cloths over vitals. Sparticus seems very quiet lately, not even daring to look at me. Too bad hes one of the few with an active Psychic talent, else he couldnt detect me reading his mind. Ah well. Bob seemed pretty excited at least, but that was probably because when we get back we are slaughtering a few goats to eat. Damn Psychopath... I pack some Frostbite Peaches in my extremely basic pouch. Imagine a tiny hammock fo fur, made to hold things. Not the most reliable, but until we find some packs of travellers ot something to take inspiration from. Not to mention our giant hands dont exactly work well with advanced crafting... Anyways, we are going to hunt for any travellers or humans not focused on combat. I did find a small merchant group walking with a few adventurers on a path a couple hundred meters away. Gotta love these perceptive owls. I decided to be a bit careful and hide a dozen daggers, 100 hornets, and another fur armor under my fur cloak. I feel like i dont have enough hornets at all, but I do want to have a reason to actually fight. Hence why I started harvesting the hornets poison and trying to find ways to put it in these daggers. Still feel unsafe to leave but I dont have too much else to prepare with... Back at home, I have multiple owls in and out the cave in case an unexpected attack. I also still have the hive to protect the women if we cant make it there in time. Calling Hedwig to my arm, I pet her and feed her a piece of my Frostbite Peach. Shes grown strangely over the past few days, seeming to have tiny antlers on the top of her head, somehow growing another pair of eyes behind her head, and even got much better at stealth. I dont exactly know how shes changing, evolving, but I really want to find out how. Would defintely make me feel safer if I can just evolve like that. Oh, I also found out something while setting up my little owl system, as well as the difference between Halfhorn and the others... Our horns are how we use our Psychic abilities outside our bodies. There are apparently ways to use your mind to advance your body, which I have tried. I can heal faster, run faster, be stronger, etc temporarily, at the expense of serious hunger pains and a headache. The horns however seem to be an amplifier for our Psychic powers, which would probably explain my kinda crazy 100 meter range, as well as the fact I can use my powers more if its through Hedig, due to her horns. Theres just too much I dont know... Letting Hedwig fly, we finally set off. The others were shufting uncomfortably due to my super long introspection. Ah well, I nod at them and start to head off, they struggle to keep up with my light jog. Time to see if we can take on less than a handful of adventurers! Day 12 We couldnt. They were strong, Unbeleivably Strong. They shot fire out their hands, striked us with lightning, and so on. Good thing my plan of attack was for them to distract one side as I use wasps to kidnap a couple people and run off. Bad news is we lost 2 men, leaving our current population at 4 men, including me. Soo, we took a strategic retreat. Its not cowardly, Im just not suicidal. At least through the couple of bags I stole, I should find something that helps me. On our way back, an idle child Dark Elv walked to our territory of the cave, looking very lost. Of course, I got the wasps to paralyze him, and mentally told the women to take the child into custody. They kinda just sat on his back, being huge compared to its 5 foot stature, they just continued making some clothes for their future children. When we got back, I tied the two humans up to the trees with a Minotaur watching them. the other three were eating and resting. Walking up to the asleep humans, I sit down, take out the bags, and look through the books to see if there is anything of use. What I didnt realize is the fact that Im not literate. So, I may spend the rest of the day asking/torturing mentally/mind reading so I can learn what the words on here mean. The women can take care of the Dark Elv for now. Hopefully. ''No Eating the child!'' I mentally command them, seeing Bob eye the boy with a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes. Freaking Psychopath... Day 13 After alot of asking, and mind reading (after they got over the shock of the sight of me, as well as the fact I speak the human tongue), I finally got a general Idea of how to read. Sadly, no new skill, but I did get this! << Telepathy leveled up! Proficancy now reached Adequate >> << Level Up! >> << You have reached level 10! Choose Mutation; The Owl Mutation, The Wasp Mutation, The Beast Mutation >> << The Owl Mutation; Gain wings with the ability to fly, as well as an extra pair of eyes that see far and in the dark. Side effects are that you grow feathers instead of hair. >> << The Wasp Mutation; Allowed to make a limited amount of mindless mini-yous known as the "Workers" under your control, allows your teeth and claws to have necrotic properties, and have a 5 inch stinger hidden in your wrists. Side effects are that you become almost stationary, having to do things through your clones, and you need to eat rotten corpses to upkeep the necrotic poison. >> << The Beast Mutation; Able to increase all senses, strength, speed, and increases all stats by x10. Side effects are that you lose any sentience or sense of control you have. >>Enjoying the story? Show your support by reading it on the official site. Mm, its funny how theyd even show me something as trap-like as the Beast, considering my mind has been one of my biggest advantages so far. The owl mutation sound good, really good. The wings can help me gain more momentum, and I can attack from above... But i need my hair. Its the only thing keeping my head and neck warm... So the Wasp Mutation it is! << You have unlocked the Wasp Mutation! Initiating changes now! >> Whoa whoa, wait- Arghhhh!! ... Day 14 Well... This feel weird. Im seeing through 5 pairs of eyes, all looking at my "Main" body. They dont look too different from me, just dont have antlers as long as mine (which have grown to be two feet long), poison, and have half my stats. They are a tad smaller than me at 7 feet tall, and dont have such a sickly look to them. Honestly, I can probably pass them off as humans if you didnt look at their very obvious glowing gold eyes. I never had a mirror or anything reflective enough to see them, but they are actuallyboth terrifying and awesome. It has two rings in the golden iris, with a vaguely triangle pupil. Very strange and unique. Moving on... I can barely move my regular body. I can move, but it now requires extreme focus, unless I stop using my Hosts (Decided to use that as the term for these guys, instead of everything I mind control), which just makes them fall on the floor in a wonky fashion. I pick them up and walk into the cave, thinking that maybe if I advance the telepathy a bit more, I may be able to use my Main body along with these hosts. Jeez the multi-tasking will be annoying... I sit in my little private part of the cave and then start using my hosts. I will dub them... Boros. I use Boros 1 to continue reading, Boros 2 to talk with the humans later on to hunt, Boros 3 to take care of the Minotaurs and making sure Bob doesnt kill all the goats, and Boros 4 is going to have a little chat with our Dark Elv buddy and find out any information on whats going on down there. After all, it would be great if we somehow take over 30 clans of Drk Elvs, with their numbers and small hands, we can milk, craft much better armor and weapons, and have a work force. they arent strong at all, and would be easy to kill off a clan or two even with our 3 active minotaurs... However, we are dealing with 30 clans that can potentially band together and fight us. So I need to figure out the situation, how much this kid is worth, and think of a good plan to rule over them... Sigh We should try herding Mammoths soon. They are slower breeders and harder to control/capture, but I dont think Bob will try killing them all for the joy of the supieriority. Freaking Psychopathic Stupid Bob... Day 15 Well, I got plenty of information out the kid, the humans, and the books. First lets start with Qi. Qi is apparently a mystical force that allows one to advance themselves, ridding of impurities in their bodies, growing very old yet being young, etc. Daos of this would be your path, or your Dao Clans path to power. An example would be the Daos of dreams, stars, mountain, river, valley, tree, bull, etc. I also learned the very basics of how to feel and manipulate General Qi, which is Qi with no specific element. I got a new skill out of that. << Qi Manipulation (Basic) Acheived! >> << Qi Talent Obtained! >> Also found that magics a thing, but needs much more specific requirements to unlock and develop, so I will hold off on that. As for the Dao Im planning on following, its my own Dao of Space. Ambitious, yes, but why not shoot for the stars? Im ageless, and have all the time in the world to cultivate. After feasting on some fried human, I foudn out that the dark elv child is the daughter of a clan leader named Tanya. Dont really care about her name, will honestly forget it eventually, but whats important is that I have a hostage of decent importance. Considering how I treat her with smiles, food, and warmth, even going so far as to not hide too much of my sick status, I doubt the 10 year old even thinks she is a hostage, just a little girl being helped by a group of strange beings. I decided to start my cunning plan by feeding her some crap of how we live at the entrance of this cave to keep the dangerous wild beasts out, the adventurers away, and the cave warm. I also told her that we were "sadly" declining in population, due to how ruthless things have gotten out there, and that we may not survive another season. That elicted a few tears from her, which is good. It means shes buying my BS, and likely not smart enough yet to notice that the "fat ones" are no longer fat, or even around us anymore. Thats another big event that happened today. Three women gave birth to three litters of Minotaurs. This increased our population from 6-7 to 35+. Most are babies yes, but they grow up very very fast. Back to the Dark Elv, she said she can get her papa to help us out. I told her that would be wonderful, and that I will help her get back to her clan if she can get them to help me. Obviously she cant promise such things, but I have a feeling that her parent will be more politically inclined to see that we have her as a potential hostage. I''ll use the Wasps (which are slowing down around 1k due to not many rotting corpses around) to scout the caves to find us a way to get to where she came from, as well as a contengency plan if they just attack me/Boro 4. Also just realized that I can gain skills through my Boros. If they learn or level skills, I personally get them. I also found out how it works with levels, due to a basic skill allowing a level one to go level two. Boros one was te one practicing cultivation and Qi manipulation, and he leveled up. He didnt increase in stats, or got any AP... But I got 5 free AP. This means everytime a Boros levels, I get 5 AP, plus I still personally gain the experience that they gain as well. This ability, thats not even a skill... This may be my most used ability ever! Oh, and lets not forget the few skills/notifications I got along the way. << Language (Adequate) (Dark Elvs) Acheived! >> << Multitasking (Beginner) Unlocked! >> << Level Up! x2 >> Looks like Boros 4 is now level 5! Mm, I havent spent any of my new AP yet. Lets change that before I encounter the Dark Elvs.
<<>> Level 12 34/130 Exp 11,000 Hp 5000 Sp 10,000 Psy Strength: 45 Perception: 40 Endurance: 55 Charisma: 15 Intelligence: 100 Agility: 60 Luck: 1 AP (Attribute Points): 70
Mm, Im pretty agile, but since Im hoping to NOT fight, I think Charisma needs a teeny tiny boost... Put 45 in Charisma!

There. Think my chances of negotiation are going to be slightly better. still bringing my thousand or so wasps hidden in the ceiling of this large cave system, just to be safe. Hopefully noone looks up and sees the pure white swarm of wasps... Meh, either way its in my favor, and if it really goes down hard I can put down the 25 in agility and they would get +12 agility. Hopefully by the time Boros 4 comes back from getting support with the Dark Elvs, the children will have grown up and are having their own children by then. We do need more land for our mighty clan Snowflake! Chuckles I cant even say that with a straight face!
