Tavern of the Spear: Desire for Pleasure

"Lizard Chieftain, hehehe... Little Wolf... This video... is amazing!"

On a pitch-black night, in a room that should have been completely dark, a light source could be seen coming from under the covers, and lewd laughter of unknown meaning could be heard coming from under the covers.

The person hiding under the covers watching short videos was Cheng Yu. He was a typical Gen Z office worker who could barely make ends meet by doing odd jobs every month, and he rented the cheapest apartment.

Cheng Yu seemed to have seen the exciting part. To match the scene on his phone, he actually started doing some crafts. However, judging from the crumpled paper around the bed, this was definitely not his first time tonight.

The short film then reached its most exciting part. At this moment, Cheng Yu, who was doing handicrafts, felt as if he was about to fly, and he actually did fly.

Cheng Yu stood frozen in mid-air for several seconds. His back was covered in cold sweat; no, his entire body was cold.

"Waaaaah~ So, so there really are souls in the world, waaaaah~ I... I still..." Cheng Yu, in his soul state, felt extremely devastated. As he watched his body drift further and further away, Cheng Yu became increasingly distraught.

His consciousness only disappeared when a powerful suction force came from behind him, pulling his soul away from the world.

……

"Ah~ My head hurts so much!" A fully grown wolf-beastman who had just fainted gently rubbed his forehead with his right paw.

It seemed he was trying to alleviate his headache in this way, but the next second, the adult wolf-beastman suddenly jumped up in fear.

"Ah! How did my hands become like this!" The adult wolf-beastman looked at his claws in horror, and covered his head with his hands in disbelief. But from the touch of his claws, he suddenly realized that even his head had changed.

"My head! And my body! And this tail! What... what's going on?"

The wolf-orc stared at himself in disbelief, remaining frozen in place for several minutes, clearly finding the matter utterly unbelievable.

……

"Aww, aww~ This is fucking amazing! I've never felt this good before, hahaha!" After getting used to his new body for more than ten minutes, Cheng Yu was able to completely master it.

He even started to look forward to whether he would encounter other orcs, after all, that was his dream.

Cheng Yu's figure darted through the forest, passing tall trees beneath him. He ran quite a distance but still hadn't seen a single beastman. He even began to wonder if he was dreaming, since such a bizarre way of time travel seemed rather outrageous to him.

However, he quickly dismissed the idea, because he accidentally jumped onto a shorter branch.

With a snap, the branch broke due to his force, and Cheng Yu fell from the tree, wincing in pain.

When he looked up, he realized that a wolf-orc was watching him.

The two wolves stared at each other, and Cheng Yu was so embarrassed he could have dug a castle out of his toes.

Looking at the wolf-beastman figure in front of him, Cheng Yu felt a slight sense of familiarity.

The wolf-beastman before me had a slender and well-proportioned body, with muscular limbs that exuded a powerful aura. His tail was fluffy and soft, like a fuzzy brush, swaying gently with his movements.

His hands were long and strong, and a white iron sword with a cloth bag wrapped around his back hung behind him, contrasting sharply with his skin color.

His hair was thick and tousled, possibly dark or gray, which complemented his wolfish nature. His clothing was simple and practical, perhaps a leather vest or a short skirt, showcasing his wild side.

"You... hello, my name is Cheng Yu, uh, um, haven't I seen you somewhere before?" Cheng Yu broke the awkward atmosphere, forcing a smile as he tried to communicate with the wolf-beastman in front of him.

However, Cheng Yu felt like he had seen this familiar face somewhere before. Perhaps he was too nervous to remember.

Cheng Yu is now trying his best not to think about why things turned out this way, or what's going on in this strange world. He wants to find the name of the wolf-beastman in front of him from his memories as soon as possible.

The wolf-orc looked at Cheng Yu with surprise and curiosity in his eyes. He hadn't seen his own kind for a long time since he came to this forest, so he didn't show any hostility. Instead, he showed a friendly smile.

"Hello, my name is Evand. I've just arrived in this forest too. I didn't expect to meet you." Evand said, extending his paw as if to shake hands with Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu stared at the furry paw for a few seconds before realizing what was happening and quickly reached out to grab Evan's paw.

Their claws touched, and a strange sensation came from their fingertips, making Cheng Yu shudder.

"Hmm, Evand, that's a nice name." Cheng Yu tried to make his voice sound natural, not wanting Evand to see his embarrassment.

Damn it! I must have lost my mind just now. I only came here because I watched his video! How could I forget that? Cheng Yu, I despise you!

“Hey, you’re a really special werewolf-beastman. I’ve never seen fur the color of yours before.” Evand scrutinized Cheng Yu, his eyes sparkling with curiosity.

Cheng Yu gave an awkward laugh. He knew his fur color was unusual; after all, he'd never seen a yellow wolf before, but it was something he couldn't control. He could only hope that Evand wouldn't dislike him because of it.

The two wolves chatted for a while, and Evand revealed that he had come out to gain experience. It was a tradition in their village that every member of the tribe who turned 23 would leave the village to go on adventures and improve their strength. Evand had been doing this for over a year now, so he missed his tribe members, especially his father.

A sudden downpour brought Evand to this unfamiliar forest, where he has been staying for some time.

Cheng Yu sat next to Evand, listening intently to his story. Although he had played the game more than a dozen times, he was still very willing to listen to Evand's tale.

"Evand, have you encountered any other orcs?" Cheng Yu couldn't help but ask, he really wanted to know if the story had even begun.

Evan thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I've only encountered some wolf-beastmen like myself, as well as bear-beastmen and leopard-beastmen. I don't know about the others. This world is too big, and I know too little."

Haha, I'm so sorry, I just left the village not long ago. These are all people from my village, heh.

Cheng Yu was somewhat disappointed, but he also understood that what Evande said was true.

"It's okay, we can go on an adventure together if you'd like!"

"Okay!"
