Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken
Stage Curtain Rises
Leveling the ground in their wake, the orc army advanced into the forest.
Trample them! Trample them! Trample them! Trample Them!
While lifting their voices, with a glow in their eyes, the orc army advanced into the forest.
There was not a single normal thought in their minds.
Everything their eyes fell upon was food.
They forever hungered, and only the desire to eat pushed them forward.
Collapse.
Again, a comrade had fallen.
But they were overjoyed. More food! They thought.
Normally, he was their dear comrade.
Now, he was but a lump of flesh to eat.
He was still breathing, but to them it meant the meat was fresh.
Those fortunate to be walking close immediately began disassembling the corpse.
The liver was reserved for the squad leader, but the rest went to he who grabbed it first.
*Guchaguchaguchagucha*
A disgusting sound reverberated through the land.
The always hunger.
And, their strength rises the hungrier they are.
That is the effect of the unique skill [Starving Ones].
As far as they eat their fallen comrades, as long as their hunger remains unfulfilled, their strength will continue to rise.
They are the 200,000 orc army.
Under the control of the Orc Lord, an army that marches through the hell of starvation.
Never to see salvation.
Just marching forward to satisfy their hunger. Never being able to satisfy it...
An endless hell.
Before them lay the Ogre village.
They are only rank D monsters.
Normally, they could only feel fear towards the rank B ogres; directing killing intent at them would have been unthinkable.
However...
Trample them! Trample them! Trample them! Trample them!
Their feet would not stop.
Rather, they ran towards the food.
Towards the rampaging ogres, their relentless strength!
How many comrades were torn to pieces, how many cut down...
However! That matter not to the orcs who saw the fallen as merely more food.
They were overjoyed.
Perhaps they could satisfy their hunger, if a bit.
A single ogre had fallen.
Immediately, the orcs crowded the corpse and began dismembering it.
Drinking blood and devouring flesh. Oh... but that did not satisfy their hunger.
But, the orcs bodies had changed"they absorbed the ogres' strength.
Seeing their friends gulped down by lowly orcs, the ogres let out a scream of agony.
Lamenting the weakness of their overwhelming power...
Gradually, those filled with power appeared from within the orcs.
Devour our comrades, and make their powers ours!
Devour our enemies, and make their powers ours!
And again they eat.
Without any fear of death. Someday, their power will grow and surpass that of their king.
Their king.
The ultimate orc, the Orc Lord!
Their march continues.
