Re Lizard
Well I never expected that type of support for this fanfic but thank you everyone. I don't really know how to make these paragraphs so I'm going to leave it at that.
(Day 17)
"Ling-Rou" I grumbled as Ling-Rei kept on shaking me from dream land. "Ling-Rou, wake up" I groaned as I pushed myself up to a sitting position.
"What is… it?" I blinked in confusion as I looked down at Rei who was kneeling. 'She looks so small… no she looks like normal'.
"Hey… Ling-Rou" Zia scratched the back of her head as she stood at my feet. "So you changed also… huh?" Zia now towered over the hatchlings and by the looks of it, was now the tallest in the cave at 6ft 7. She had ranked up to Lizardman so now was less alligator like and was more human like, Zia had a slightly curvy frame but it was clear to see her muscular body took away some curve. Although in this form it was much easier to figure out that she was female compared to her hatchling form as she now had an ample bust, feminine face and had shoulder length dark red hair.
"Whoa" my jaw dropped. 'She looks like an Olympic athlete plus scales and being a bit taller' I stood up getting a closer look. 'Wait a second' I glanced between Zia and Rei 'I'm nearly twice the size as Rei while Zia is one head higher than me'. Looking down at myself, I could tell that I must be about 6ft 2 as I became a lizardman. It looked like I became similar in muscle definition as Zia, unlike Zia however, my tail became thinner but sharper. One thing I noticed in my reflection was the similarity to my previous human life, short brown hair, blue eyes. "This is amazing but I'm I meant to be this colour" I wondered as I stared at my pure white scales with dark purple markings.
"I don't know, I've never seen anyone with a colour like yours" Rei jumped up, still being a hatchling meant she was too small to talk on the same level.
"Oooh a male lizardman ~hello~" Siokiya wrapped her arms around my waist as she hugged my back. "We have not had a male lizardman here in a while, well done for ranking up ~Rou~" I gulped as her claws gently caressed my chest. "Humans are only good for a one time use but lizardmen…" she began to dry hump and grind against me. "They can have fun at any time, any day".
"Aren't you my mother or something" I nudged her back and turned to face Siokiya.
"Maybe~ does it matter though, it can be me or anyone else but there won't be a difference on moving those hips" she grinned.
'Uhh that sounds so wrong' I thought shaking all those thoughts from my mind. 'Putting that aside, what I am really curious about is how strong I have become…' I clenched my claws. "You can think whatever you like Siokiya but right now I'm going hunting" I rolled my shoulder. 'Also I think I will need new clothes for this body'.
"Hunting" Zia grinned. "Hungry now but after I want rematch" she pointed at me
"Sure, but I will win again" I returned the cocky grin before moving my eyes towards Rei. "So are you coming hunting as well?"
"Huh? I can still come even though you two are powerful lizardmen now?" Rei blinked in confusion. "But I'll just slow you down and…"
I clapped my claws in front of her "you won't slow us down, you make up our team so you are not going anywhere". Rei smiled and gently hugged my waist "Err… it's okay Ling-Rei". I patted Rei on the head as I looked up to see Zia with her arms open "and why do you need a hug?.. uh oh".
30 minutes later of trying to pry Rei and Zia off me while Siokiya was giving me seductive looks and poses, me and the two former had finally gone out hunting. 'Siokiya does have an amazing ass though' I dazed in thought as the three of us walked through the forest. 'Wait a second…' I swung my arm to the left catching something. I turned my head to see I had crushed a night viper's head with my bare claw 'whoa, I killed it so easily'.
"Are you going to eat that or just stare at it?" Zia pointed to the snake.
I shrugged "I only want the head, you guys can have the rest". Snapping off the head, I passed the body to Rei who split it in half for the two of them. 'I only get abilities from it's head, or actually it's fangs after all' I threw the snake head into my mouth as I used the echolocation ability to look for better prey. 'To be honest, I would really like to go after the strongest thing in this forest but Rei would only get hurt or killed at her current form although…' I turned right going between the trees 'some weapons would be nice and if I'm correct… bingo'. We stopped behind a bush as on the other side was a group of orcs. "You girls be quiet, we can't take 5 orcs head on without a plan".
"Then what should we do, Ling-Rou?" Rei asked gripping her spear. "How do you plan to kill them all without going head on, orcs might be dumb but they are smarter than monster beasts".
"That is true however, you can beat orcs the same way as any other beast" I narrowed my eyes. 'while I am pretty sure we are stronger than them, they are armed so we can't be too careful'. "Okay you two listen carefully this is what we are going to do…"
…
"How many goblins do you think are in that cave up ahead" an orc casually chatted with the one walking beside him.
"Doesn't matter really as long as I can fill my belly" the second orc chuckled.
"Don't forget we can sell the extra" the orc leader bellowed. "Those goblins multiply in no time so we'll have plenty to last us a few days".
As the orcs continued their conversation, Rei creeped up behind the orcs with her spear then stabbed at the orc's unprotected knee joint. "Aaaaarrghh" the orc screamed in pain, falling to all fours.
The other four orcs turned to their knocked down comrade. "A lizard hatchling, get her, she can be sold for a high-" the orc leader finished with a gurgle as I crushed his throat from behind.
"We are being attacked from bottttt…" Zia charged from the bushes and slammed her club against the back of the third orc's head hard enough to shatter the club.
"You damn lizards" the forth orc charged at me with a woodchopping axe.
The orc swung straight downwards widely, preventing me from getting close. 'This guy is definitely not the warrior of the group' I ducked under another swing. 'He just looks like the labourer but has some decent strength' I side stepped another swing and slammed my palm into the orc's gut. The orc grinned in response and shoulder charged me 'crap'. I grunted as I also felt the blunt side of the axe hit my gut 'oh fuck this guy, Horned Headbutt'. My forehead smashed into his making him stumble back in pain 'time to end this Pump Up' I pounced at the orc biting his neck. 'Sharp Bite, Vampirephila' after a second, I chomped down ripping his throat out, leaving him falling backwards.
I looked over to Rei and Zia to make sure they were alright. Rei had finished the first orc off by continually stabbing him at a distance with her spear however, it looked like the spear had lodged itself in the orc's skull, killing the orc but broken the spear. Zia had managed to kill her first orc with the club shattering swing, the second looked a bit more gruesome as the orc's brain was splattered on the ground.
"We did it" Rei cheered, obviously excited that she killed an orc all by herself. "You two were so awesome, taking down two orcs like it was nothing".
I smiled at her enthusiasm "yeah we did well taking down those orcs but do you what's better".
"We get to eat good food now" Zia eyed up the orcs, hunger evident.
"Well yes but I was looking at the armour and weapons we have now" I pointed at the equipment. "Just a few strap adjustments and ta-da, we will be able to hunt strong things with no problems". I began stripping the orcs down "so take off the stuff without damaging it too much okay".
In total from the orcs that was salvageable, we gained:
3x iron swords
1x woodcutting axe
1x iron pickaxes
4x iron daggers
Armour and clothes wise we gained:
3x padded leather chest-pieces
1x iron chest-piece
1.5x pair of leather bracers
After splitting up the loot between us. I got a leather chest-piece, a left leather bracer, one iron dagger and one iron sword. Zia took a leather chest-piece with an iron chest-piece on top of that and took two iron swords. Rei took the pair of leather bracers, a leather chest-piece and three iron daggers. While we took the woodcutting axe and pickaxe but had no real intention on using them right now. Although, who could forget the other benefit, that is orc meat tasting the same as high quality pork.
You learned the ability "Orc Language (65%)"
You learned the ability "Appraisal"
You learned the ability "Stench"
You learned the ability "Libido"
'Interesting, if I eat a creature that can talk I gain their language but I can't just take it maybe the more orcs I eat then the more my language goes up' I pondered. 'Not like I really want to talk to them however' I shrugged.
(Day 18)
"Well isn't that interesting" I tilted my head back. "So Ling-Rei ranked up" I watched as she flew around. 'Only she became a dragonewt instead of a lizardman, well at least the leather armour fits her properly size wise but now I have to modify it for her wings'. I sighed as hatchlings were just looking at me and Rei in wonder 'I wish Zia could have adjusted the clothes but she decided to go hunting'.
"Hey Ling-Rou" Rei landed in front of me with a thud. "I think I can fly good now, took a while but it's easier than it looks" she punched the air in achievement.
"I'm proud of you, Ling-Rei… do you want to try the armour on to see if it fits?" Rei nodded, quickly taking the armour from my hands. After her rank-up, Rei was a bit different compared to me and Zia. Rei now stood at 5ft 10 with a slim body and lean muscles and like me she had a thin tail. On her back were dragon wings that could stretch one meter each but could also fold up on her back. She now had long blonde hair and a more human like face.
"Cool it fits" Rei flew around the cave again.
A fake cough brought me out of my thoughts as Zia was standing behind me with four dragged orcs behind her. "Ling-Rou, I went hunting and found some orcs" she licked her lips.
My face fell 'how could she be so risky, it took three of us to kill five orcs using the element of surprise'. I shook my head 'but… that said, she doesn't look injured at all'.
"Ling-Rou?" Zia crouched down, staring expectantly. "You can…" she squinted her eyes in deep thought. "You can… can… change armour for different use so I swap orc meat for armour change". I gave a thumbs up before Zia embraced me tightly which was not the most comfortable as she wore iron armour.
'Well I guess I won't be leaving the cave today'
After a few hours of constant work I had done it, not counting the large amount of failures because of the lack of proper working equipment… and definitely not a lack of skills. Well that's what I managed to convince myself but anyways… the armour was completed.
For Zia, she was given the heaviest armour as the tank of the group, although she was also a good berserker. Zia's iron chest-piece had been improved to iron-plate armour that covered her entire torso and shoulders. She now had iron armour protecting the front of her thighs and her right bracer was now iron while her left bracer was leather. Also, Zia had a leather strap to keep her two swords on.
For Rei, she had the lightest armour of all of us so it didn't hinder her flying. Rei's leather chest-piece only covered her chest due to her wings although because of this, the spare leather was altered to give her leather stockings and shorts. Now she was big enough, Rei took one sword but kept her three daggers also which was attached to her leather belt.
For myself, I was in the middle in terms of armour. I had heavily padded my leather chest-piece with more leather and wore knee length leather shorts. Replacing my single leather bracer, I now had iron bracers. As for my weapons, I kept the sword and dagger but also took the woodcutting axe that I modified into a makeshift tomahawk.
(Day 19)
'I see it now' I wiped the blood from my mouth.
You learned the ability "imp language (70%)"
You learned the ability "Mischievous"
'The reason that Zia could hunt those orcs so easily now' I slaughtered the boar that charged at me with one swing. 'GODDAMN CREATURES HERE ARE SO WEAK' grumbling at my personal headache. 'I really need to eat more dangerous creatures so I can get more abilities because these things no longer give me any abilities'. I picked up the boar, eating it quickly 'all that's left around here is the weak creatures, I mean seriously I am still a level 13 lizardman because nothing here is increasing my level'.
I closed my eyes in thought 'not to mention, I'm so bloody tired right now'. I scratched my head 'although it was kind of my fault when I was testing my abilities, I accidentally used libido and I couldn't just stop the ability'. Shivering in thought, I killed another night viper 'then Siokiya… asserted herself as a helper of my problem and it finally went down after four hours'.
I shook my head entering deeper into the forest 'Please let there be something worth eating'.
Chapter end
Well I hope you all enjoyed and before someone asks about the pairings for this story. All I have so far for Rou's little harem is Zia and Rei. So if you have any suggestions about what types of monsters, demi-humans or humans should be in the harem please tell me.
I am not putting Siokiya in the harem because the only reason she acts flirty with Rou is due to him being the strongest. Siokiya is just following natural instincts for a monster race, just like goblins and orcs, of finding the opposite gender to reproduce, nothing else. So one thing like canon I am doing is Rou breaking the usual cycle. Short answer, not in harem.
