"roar!"
A group of tall, muscular humanoid creatures with bluish skin, mouths full of sharp teeth, animal skins around their waists, simple leather armor, and armed with heavy weapons such as maces, sticks, and bone clubs are wreaking havoc in a village.
"Ah! Help!"
“No!”
"Fight them!"
"Damn orcs!"
"kill!"
The villagers in the village took up arms and fought back.
However, the power of this group of people, whom the villagers called orcs, was too strong.
Faced with the villagers who had almost no professional training, it was a one-sided massacre.
The orcs broke through the male villagers' defense circle and rushed into the village. Even the women took up weapons, but the middle-aged men could not resist, let alone them.
The villagers were slaughtered, and even the elderly, the weak, women and children could not escape death.
The massacre did not last long.
About twenty minutes later, the entire village was littered with corpses and blood flowed like a river.
Hundreds of people died miserably, and the blood and killing made the orcs roar with excitement.
For them, invasion means killing and food!
None of the village’s cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks, and geese could escape, and all became their food!
Including... dead enemies.
"Kill!" Suddenly, deafening shouts of killing were heard outside the village.
"Retreat!" an orc leader shouted, and the orcs left with various rations.
They are so strong that they can even hold a cow in one hand and carry two cows on their shoulders and run at full speed.
A few breaths later, a group of infantrymen dressed in neatly-clad standard armor rushed in from outside the village.
They were an army from the nearby city of Mance.
"Damn orcs!" The commander's eyes turned red as he looked at the tragic scene in front of him.
As the northern empire, the Gloucester Empire had the most conflicts with the orcs in the Northern Wilderness Mountains.
Compared with the Dahra Empire and the Illus Empire in the center and south, the Gloucester Empire in the north is brave and warlike, and its people are tough.
After all, they often deal with brutal orcs, so they naturally develop this martial spirit and tough customs. At the same time, because of the constant invasion of orcs, the overall atmosphere of the Gloucester Empire will be more united.
"Captain! There are still survivors!" suddenly a soldier shouted.
"What?! Hurry, hurry, hurry! Military doctor, follow up!" The commander shouted immediately, fearing that the survivor would not survive.
…
My name is Clarissa and I am 15 years old.
Three days ago, her village, Kekexi Village, was attacked by orcs and the whole village was massacred... She was saved from death because her parents hid her in the cellar of their home.
But orcs will also search these places.
Others who did the same thing also did not escape the fate of death.
But she was lucky, the army arrived at the last moment.
The orcs did not think of the conflict because they had already succeeded and got what they wanted.
She was lucky enough to survive.
He was taken back to the city of Mance by the army.
Temporary settlement in a displacement shelter.
The exile camp is a place unique to the Gloucester Empire.
Because of the orcs, many villages and even small towns have suffered attacks from orcs.
It's okay to hold on and wait for reinforcements.
Those who cannot wait or cannot defend will be killed or robbed just like in Kokoxi Village.
Even if there is plenty of time but too little food, women will be spared and taken away by orcs... becoming reproductive machines and dying within two years.
And you can't stay in the exile center for long.
Maximum 7 days.
Food and accommodation are provided, and the food is not very good, just enough to fill the stomach. As for the taste, it's fine as long as it's edible.
After 7 days, you must leave the displacement center.
Clarissa can still stay here for four days, but she doesn't want to stay like that, so she goes to the streets every day to look for a job.
However, due to malnutrition and her age, 15-year-old Clarissa was hardly wanted by anyone.
She looks very thin, but due to genetic problems, her height has grown to 1.7 meters, which makes her look even thinner.
She used to have golden hair, but now, her hair has turned gray and dry. She has regular facial features and should be very good-looking.
But now, she hasn't taken a shower for several days and her body is covered in dust.
In her linen clothes she was quite... well, insufferable.
For three days, Clarissa couldn't find a place where she could work.
Some were even treated as beggars and chased away.
At night, Clarissa curled up on a very simple bed made of wooden boards and casually covered with a layer of cloth.
This is not a single room, but a dormitory for 24 people.
Well, if you think about Clarissa's current situation, you will know that a place like this has all kinds of smells...
It's not that you can't take a shower here, but you can only have a hot shower once every seven days.
The next one was in 2 days, so Clarissa had to wait another 2 days.
You mean cold water? It's autumn now... In the northern Gloucester Empire, it's not snowing at this time, so it's already slow to get cold.
Not to mention that it is close to the Beihuang Mountains, which is of unknown size.
That is where the orcs are, the wild land, which is a snowy mountain range.
It was because of the scarcity of food and the brutality of the orcs that they kept invading the Gloucester Empire.
"What should I do..." Clarissa curled up. It was very cold at night. Fortunately, the place was not very ventilated and there were a lot of people around, so it was barely okay, although she was only covered with a thin blanket.
[Girl! You want Nako...oh no, you want power?]
Suddenly, a very young-sounding male voice sounded in Clarissa's mind.
Who? Clarissa opened her eyes suddenly, sat up, and looked around. Everyone was lying down. In the dim moonlight, no one spoke to her.
"Who is it!" whispered Clarissa.
[Don't panic, I am communicating directly in your consciousness, just tell me what you want to say.]
"(Who are you?)" Clarissa suppressed her panic and thought in her mind according to the instructions of the mysterious voice.
[Emm... How should I put it~ I am just a system maker. What is a system? You don't need to know. Now, you are the protagonist... Don't ask what a protagonist is... In other words, you are the chosen one! ]
"(Are you God?)" Clarissa suddenly thought of God. Communicating directly in people's consciousness... Is this a method that only God can do?
【Hmm...】
In some void, a young man looked at Clarissa with a strange expression.
His name is Tang Ziheng, and he is the "god" that Clarissa mentioned.
In fact, he was a time traveler, no, it should be said that he was a... I don't know what he was, because he had died, and then came back to life inexplicably, and when he opened his eyes, he was in this empty world.
I got a system. This system is a production system. It will randomly select a world in the endless void, and then randomly select a "chosen person", put it into the system, and earn source points.
When this source point reaches a certain level, it can revive him and give him a real entity.
