SSS Rank Chef: Rising In The World Of Magic

The sun went down but the Black Boar tribe was extremely lively. Many members danced around a huge bonfire a clay pot on their heads.

Lukas sat on a large log with Nina as he watched the tribe celebrate. The children ran around giggling as they played their own version of tag. Teenagers kept trying to sneak a glance at Lukas and Nina.

The moment he caught the girls, they would blush and if it was a guy, he would look away in fear and guilt. This gave Lukas mixed feelings. He appreciated the attention he was getting from the girls but felt a little annoyed every time he caught a guy looking at his sister.

'… I feel like bashing their heads in… but i'm so much weaker than them that it's embarrassing.' he thought as he shook his head and stood up to raise both his hands upwards. In just a few seconds, the whole tribe went silent as they paid utmost attention.

"The forest tells me that it's time!" he yelled as he took a step backwards to stand on the log, "It's time the Boars fight back!! I've read the book your ancestor left behind and in that book, he wrote that the secrets of the island must belong to the boars!"

He paused as he looked at the people around him, "And as a shaman who has taken responsibility, I will fulfil that wish."

Then, an idea passed through his mind as he roared, "TO ANCESTOR SUK MA DEEK!! Chant with me, Suk! Ma! Deek!!"

""Suk!! Ma!! Deek!!""

""Suk!! Ma!! Deek!!""

""Suk!! Ma!! Deek!!""

""Suk!! Ma!! Deek!!""

[Ding! You've successfully awoken the desires in your tribesmen. New skill unlocked - War Cry]

[War Cry]

Through Chants, Drums, Music and even speech, you will be able to give your subordinates a great buff. The buff's strength depends on Volume and the connection it has to the hearts of the people.

Buffs: +Endurance, +Strength, +Speed, +Durability

It didn't say how much the increase was, but Lukas could tell that it would vary every time depending on what he used as the war cry. He didn't pay much attention to it as he watched the tribesmen chant their ancestor's name.

A few seconds later, he raised his arms again. The tribe immediately went quiet as they looked at him.

"Warrior Rena, gather people and bring the cooked meat here. I will select a team of brave boars tonight. They will receive my blessings to be the tribe's great warriors and will be the key to our tribe's expansion."

As the people roared, Lukas watched the muscular woman head over to the farthest corner of the tribe's current living area with a handful of people. She lifted a large stone stab from the ground and the men pulled out two long wooden sticks.

Tied to them were the legs of the lambs as their bodies were left to hang upside down. There was no more wool on them and nor did they have a head.

Warrior Rena placed the large stone slab gently on the ground before stabbing two long spears into the pit and pulled out two heads.

'I'm not eating that…' Lukas thought as he looked away. As someone who had only tasted selective cuts of meat, he couldn't help but be a little afraid of the heads.

He had already applied a generous amount of salt and pepper which was stored in his storage ring but he had also added some wild leaves, roots and even flowers that were recommended by the tribesmen.

Seeing the steam rise up from the lambs, he couldn't help but salivate as he watched the men push four Y shaped branches into the ground to hold the lambs.

Meanwhile, Rena placed the heads on wooden plates and put them under the lambs.

Lukas silently looked at everyone around him as he rolled his eyes backwards, "Big Uke! Tama and Smallest Kiki!" he said and waited for a few seconds before opening his eyes.

They were the three youngsters he had selected a few hours prior. Apart from them, he looked around before pointing at the ones who had good stats and skills.

"Warrior Rena, Warrior Hugo, Hunter Balo and Berserker Noma."

The ones whose names were called, walked towards him and knelt behind the three youngsters. The warriors were the muscular ones who had 'welcomed' him at first. Hunter Balo was a middle aged man who was known to hunt the larger creatures and Berserker Noma was the man who sacrificed some of his blood for the Totem's creation.

Noma was the strongest in terms of stats when he entered his berserk state but he was getting on in age. Lukas did not know how long the man could last as the strongest.

Using the powers of the shaman after he had established a connection with the tribe's totem, he placed his hand on Noma.

"Today onwards, Berserker Noma will be the Tribe's Hero. Noma will be responsible for defending the tribe with his life." Lukas said with closed eyes, his voice deep as he gave Noma a new job and swapped Berserker to secondary.

"The forest spirit has granted Hunter Balo the abilities of a Herbalist. He will be responsible for treating the sick and injured when he's not hunting. Warrior Rena and Hugo, do you wish to become the Black Boars mentioned in the tribe's history?"

Silence around him felt like a void, making him involuntarily open his eyes to see the people around him stare at him in utter shock. Mutation was a thing of the past for the tribe and every one of them knew, that the day a black boar appeared in their tribe, was the day they would rise once again.

The ones who had believed that their shaman's so-called expansion would end pretty early, could help but have hope once again. They could feel their excited hearts beating loudly inside their chests as they watched Rena and Hugo's hands shake for the same reason.

"I– it will be an honor!!" Both Rena and Hugo yelled, their voices a little stifled as they held back their tears.
