Alex's POV
As I approached the settlement or what was left of it, I noticed most of the Orc were still disoriented from the meteor shower. The main cave was partially destroyed and the earth had been scorched black.
'Meteor shower should have been a spell of a High order mage, so how come the mage didn't just attack directly?...Hmm' although he was within his thought, his steps never stopped.
'wait, this level of destruction doesn't match the description in the book, unless it's a spell scroll made by one but was only fueled by the mana of the low order mages, Lucky me...right, those guys aren't moved so easily.'
"AAaaargh... those Huumans dare" a roar suddenly disrupted the silence.
"Right, there's still this guy" I turned to the Orc and noticed it was Olog, the somewhat Chubby Orc with thick arms and a ridiculously long braided Beard who used me as a punching bag when he just awakened here.
"Honestly, I'm a little resentful, maybe I should just kill him and gain vengeance for the dead guy."
"We must kill...grreuk the Huumans now!!" Olog roared with blood on his face as he pulled the others up.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but want to laugh because he was still staggering as he tried to intimidate others into doing what he wants.
"AAARGH!!" He yelled again trying to keep himself awake as he shook his head furiously while smacking it, I turned to look at the condition of others.
they were only about a dozen or so and he wants to go fight a those in the city??, I doubt this fool would even pass the human adventurers that hang out outside the walls.
Soon an elderly looking green Orc with grey beards approached Olog warily,
"We too few...we must Move Horde fi..."
Bam!
Olog cut him off by smacking the Orc rather heavily, but luckily Orcs have sturdy bodies but,
'This ...an intelligent Orc among the base Orcs? he has the making of a shaman then.'
"WE KILL...OLOG IS NO COWARD!!" Olog once again stated his stance.
'guess i'll just kill him and migrate, I wonder how far the journey to degr would be..." I thought about what I should do as I thought about the Degr heraldic kingdom which was made by purely Orcs.
As I mused with my own thoughts, Olog pushes the Elderly orc once more as he obviously wants to make an example of him.
"guess I'm killing him" I said as I checked his status.
__________
Name: Olog(Chieftain)
Race: lesser Orc
Level: 13(Order of the first circle)
Power rating: 2386
____________
'Interesting, by order of Evolution, i'm at an advantage as the Intimidation passive would kick in' I couldn't help thinking as I suppressed a laugh. 'In a bigger Horde, with a Great Orc as chief, he would be a Guard at most.'
With this thought, I approached the scene.

Unknown POV
"WE KILL...OLOG IS NO COWARD!!" Chieftain yelled but someone moved.
Thud!
Thud!
Thud!
'Someone really moved, now Chieftain will be really angry' I thought while looking for who would be so stupid at this moment only to find 'Brother?'
'Yes it is indeed brother but why brother look different?'
Thud!!
Thud!!
Thud!!
"OLGA!!" Brother shouted with malice while bringing down the black battle axe from his shoulders and pointed it at the Chieftain. His braided Beards tied into three knots, swayed in the air as he glared at Chiefain with a gleam in his now red eyes.

Olga slowly turned towards Alex with obvious fury but stiffened for a second after seeing him. He soon felt an unknown pressure from the orc who angered him, so he cautiously sized the Orc before saying, "Who are ...Torug?...Hahahaha".
"Hahahaha" He laughed as he felt somewhat relieved, he then sized Alex up once more while thinking, 'Nothing changes, I beat him.'
"This time I kill you!! hmph" Was all he said with a snort as he picked up his Club and used the orc charge skill.
Alex had been following his movement from the beginning, so he too charged with the skill as well.
Boom!!
The clash of raw muscles produced a deafening sound as both party's shoulders collided. a mini shock wave spread out as Olga was pushed back by a step, giving Alex the chance to use the handle of his axe knock the chubby orc back by a few steps.
'My thoughts weren't wrong, the superiority of my evolution path led to a decline on his power rating, I suspect it reduced by at least 20%, now with techniques, this is almost child's play' Alex thought as he put all his strength in his legs, immediately kicking Olga on his chest, knocking him down as a grunt escaped his lungs.
'Meanwhile, Skills are activated by thoughts...hmm how convenient.'
He smiled darkly as he approached the fallen Olga who immediately swung the club in a wide arc before rolling away disgracefully to create distance between them.
he struggled to stand up due to his big belly, taking the chance, Alex threw his axe with both hands as he charged after it.
Voom!
puchi!(sfx: skin penetration)
Bam!
BEM!
BAM!!
Alex followed with a few punches, ending it with an upper cut before pulling out the axe from the dazed Olga, causing him to bleed further.
Due to the Shock, Olog instinctively dropped his club to block the wound but Alex also attacked at this moment cutting off that arm with a hard swing.
AAAAARGH!!!
"Olga submits!!!" Olga screamed as he stared wide eyed at his fallen arm.
'The axe throw could only pass the skin but not powerful enough to shatter bones, But it was enough to distract him for a second.' Alex thought as he watched the writhing and wailing Olga. This soon sent a memory of an incident when he was still in the gang life, the bloody battle with a rival gang played in his mind.
'I guess I'm back to this bloody lifestyle' He thought with a straight face as he calmed his breath.
Olga noticed his momentary distraction and grabbed a fallen humans sword before trying to stab Alex.
Seeing this scene made Alex freeze for a split second...
Slash!(SFX: flesh cutting)
But the expected pain didn't come, standing before him was the very same orc who helped him before.

OK, so in our last Chapter, Torrelsav1 suggested I explain the difference between a base orc and a first circle orc.
As for his full description, it would be shown in the next chapter.
Now, there's not much difference in this Ranks as it is basically Minor changes in one's body structure and cells, that decides the path one would develop in, it also boosts the amount of damage one could dish out.
This is the Basic changes,but different races have their own perks. this would explained later
