Pov Gorm
As I stand in the lake washing myself from all the blood from our latest mission we were hired for in Mongolia, also my homeland
And my own personal hell. As I look back through my life, all I remember is abuse and only being fed enough to live, and not being able to learn to defend myself.
Not until that day I turned 23, and that day I felt my first kill and something awakened in my body, but I could be stuck on that because I was brought before my bastard of a father.
Pov Batuhan, the father of Gorm
Bastard, you feel like killing now that you have grown, send him to the front lines against our enemies, and let's see if you come back a scared boy or if my blood really does run through you. Now go.
As I remember it like it was yesterday, that day I finally met my father, but he didn't acknowledge me at all; he just called me a bastard and had his men throw me in a cage carriage to send me to the front lines as if I was a warrior raised.
But all of that has happened to me for protecting my barely fed mother, who's getting closer and closer to her deathbed. But the time I spent with her, telling me about all the great raids she went on and teaching me all about my Norse part of my blood, and I feel drawn to be a great Viking raider one day.
As I remember all the people I killed that were added to my legend in Mongolia, and after I spent 8 years of my life fighting, at least I was able to spend my mother's last minutes on earth with her.

Before she left me, she gripped my blood-soaked hand as tight as she could and told me to come here. As I bent down, "Yes, mother, what is it? Before I pass on, I need to tell you something: you have a half-brother in Norway. His name is Einar. Before I go, promise me one day when you have enough money for a ship you will go find and meet your brother."
As she said that, I swore to my, "Mother, on Thor's hammer, I will one day go to Norway and find him. You can rest easy now, mother. I promise I will be okay." As she smiled and closed her eyes for the last time, I just stayed there looking at my mom, finally at peace.
Pov Back To Present Time
"Captain, we need to head to Parisius for our next job. You okay, captain?" As I put on my shirt and jumped back on the ship.
"I am fine. Let's go. Just another memorable time in my past life. How long until we get there?"
"4 days by ship, captain. Just relax; we will be there in no time."
Pov 4 days later in Paris
As we docked and headed towards the castle for the mission we had accepted, as we walked into the throne room, the person sitting said, "You are on time; your reputation as a mercenary is no joke, I see. I offer you 2 sacks of gold to kill the rebels."
Pov Gorm
"We have already accepted it. Where is our payment of gold?" As he catches 2 full sacks of gold and asks where their base is.
As he gears, someone says, "On the poor side of East Parisius," and my 30 men walked out, going towards the mission.
And as I was walking, I heard one of my men speak, "Captain, can we rest today and do it tomorrow? We are all tired from being on the boat for 4 days straight."
"We will get a couple of rooms on the east side of town, and we will relax tonight and party, but tomorrow we will finish."
As all my men started singing happily while we walked down the streets of the poor side of Paris, we saw nothing but women trying to sell themselves off to all my men, and it worked as now it went from 31 men walking down the street to 30 women being held by a man.
As we finally found a place that had 6 rooms for rent and each room had 2 beds, the boys and girls went to the bar across the street and started having fun. After they had a few too many drinks, some started fucking in the bar, and a couple of them went back to the rooms with more liquor.
As I bought a whole bottle of this cheap shit, I was walking down the street, drinking and exploring, and I saw a painting place that caught my eye, but it was really a beautiful artist I saw through the glass.
I continued walking as I heard something in the alleyway. It was a beautiful noble-looking rich woman, and it seemed like she was getting robbed. As I walked up and grabbed the man by his neck and broke his neck.
As I walked off after killing a drunk bastard in an alleyway, suddenly I heard a woman ask, "Who are you, Stranger?" and I responded, "I am Gorm the Slaughter. Who are you and why are you in an alleyway with a random person?"
I was kidnapped by that man and he was going to sell me into slavery to the north on his ship as I was watching her body movements while talking to make sure she wasn't lying to me.
"Okay, so do you know where his ship is, blonde lady?" I said with a berserker-like grin, looking down at her still drinking.
"Yes, I do know where it is. Why do you want to raid and steal his ship?" I was scared of this man who killed that man like it was so easy.
Pov Gorn
"Show me to his ship then. There are probably more people on his ship as slaves and some gold and silver, so let's go." We walked towards the east docks and she pointed at the ship.
"Okay, you stay hidden. I will be back." I walked towards the ship with my cloak swinging back and forth, with a bottle of rum in my hand, drinking and pretending to almost fall, and saw at least 35 men on the ship. I dropped my gold pouch and picked it up.
I saw that 20 men were leaving the ship and had seen my gold as I picked it back up and they were walking towards me. I walked into a dark alleyway drinking as they followed me, and as I walked into the alley drinking, I disappeared from view and threw the bottle to the floor.
As 10 men walked into the alley and the rest stood guard, I turned around with both my axes in my hands and started to slaughter all of them just as my namesake, and as I was drenched in blood, I killed the other 10.
While I was soaked in blood, I made my way onto their ship and killed the last 5 in their sleep and woke up all three hundred and fifty slaves, the majority men and only seventy-five women.
As I unlocked all their cuffs, I said, "You are all free now; you can leave and go home." As I finished talking and saw nobody leave the ship, I asked them, "Why are you still here?" A middle-aged man spoke in Norse and said, "We are from Norway and are all warriors; we do not know these lands or speak their language."
As I understood him, I started speaking in Norse. "Okay then, do you all want to join my mercenary band? One day you will see home again if you stay with me." The same person started talking again.
"We will join you, but how do you know our language?" Everybody looked at me in curiosity as I answered the question.
"I am half Norse. My mother was a shield maiden from Norway before my father found her and took her away."
As I told them to go shower and eat and drink, and put some clothes on, they disappeared as I went to the chest of gold in the captain's room and carried it with me as I walked up to the lady. She jumped in fright as she asked, "Who are they?"
As I turned around, now bathed and clothed and well-fed, suited up, still skinny Vikings, and as we finally got to our destination, the bar I left was still open. We all came in and scared the bartender as he was shaking, and as I spoke, "I want enough food to feed all of them and keep bringing out the rum. Here's three hundred gold and one hundred and fifty silver and an extra five hundred gold to act like you didn't see us," I said that with a bloody face and a crazy grin.
As we finally got to our destination, the bar I left was still open. We all came in and scared the bartender as he was shaking, and as I spoke, "I want enough food to feed all of them and keep bringing out the rum. Here's three hundred gold and one hundred and fifty silver and an extra five hundred gold to act like you didn't see us," I said that with a bloody face and a crazy grin.
As the bartender's eyes went big at the money, he went to the kitchen and talked to the chef as he had him cook everything they had in stock, and gave fifty gold and twenty silver, and came back. "Ladies and gentlemen, what would you like to drink?" he handed everybody rum and whisky as everybody started drinking and laughing, and telling stories of adventures and raids.
We were so loud and up all night. By morning, everybody was full of food and liquor, passed out drunk, even the workers and the owner of the place. By the time we woke up, it was noon. I struggled to get up as I saw the woman from last night sleeping on me with three other Viking women who were half-naked, with one with my dick inside her.
As I sat up and pushed off all the women but the one with my dick in her, I stood up and bent her over a table and started to fuck her until she woke up in moans of pleasure, and as we started to fuck again, I gave her some whisky after I took a gulp as she downed the rest, and everybody woke up looking at us as they started to laugh and drink, everybody but the bar workers and the blonde lady,
As the lady ran out and ran into a guard in the city, she found out that there was a bounty of fifty gold on information on the person who did it, and as she said she didn't know anything and he continued to ask around town for information
as she walked back into the bar and locked the door and said Gorm I need to speak to you as I tallied the Norse women I will be right back she said and tallied her she needs to speak to me in Norse and that the women looked very nervous as I slid out of her as she moaned in pleasure and grabbed my face and gave me a deep kiss and whispered don't have me waiting long
As I pulled up my pants and walked over to the corner of the bar and waved her over as she ran over and whispered in my ear everything she found out outside along with the bounty of fifty gold and she said she didn't know anything and she told me to leave now
As I walked away from her and yelled in Norse everybody get dressed we are leaving it's an investigation on what happened last night and everybody got up quickly and armed back up with their swords and axes, shields as in 2 seconds everybody was ready as I said wait here I will be right back and went across the street to the hotel
As I kicked open every door I paid for and all my men were passed out on beds and the hookers were asleep naked as they heard a big bang they jumped up sword in hand get y'all ass up and meet me at the bar across the street in 5 minutes
as I walked downstairs as I stopped at the desk and said here is some money for repairs and a tip as I dropped a pouch filled with thirty gold and 40 silver as she saw it and smiled and said come again customer as I walked out as I went back in the bar as I threw the bartender an extra pouch of thirty gold and I said thank you and we will be leaving now as I finished talking the door opened as everybody picked up their axes
as the door opened all the way as we saw 75 men walk in and said captain what's happening and why is a guard asking questions about a murder from last night as he was speaking Mongolian and nobody understood him but me and the guys as I told them they are part of the mercenary band and told him to speak in Norse and as I started talking in Norse
As I told my crew what happened last night as they started laughing as they are used to this already so we have to leave now I said with a serious face
captain our ship isn't big enough for all these people and the chest of silver and gold what about the job captain as I looked at him fuck that king and that job we are leaving now and we are stealing three great ships from them anyway and while we are at it we are going to rob the bank in the west end and the east end we are going back to Mongolia anyway
As everybody in the mercenary band started laughing also the Norse and the Norse women walked up behind me axe in hand and said you are one crazy warrior with a crazy grin and a sloppy kiss on my lips and then we started planning
blonde where are all the great ships docked at right now as she went wide-eyed are you planning to steal them
Are you crazy you are already wanted and the great ships are guarded heavily during the day
As I listened to her I said I do not care just tell me already so we can plan already women as she started talking out of fear after remembering what I did last night okay it's 2 docked right now at the port on the west end and 2 on the east end as I listened and turned back around
Started speaking in Norse again so she said there are four great ships currently docked but they are heavily guarded during the day so when it hits night time we are going to attack both banks with 25 people for each bank and we will send 100 Vikings for each ship and the remaining will go with 10 of you guys to get the ship and leave in the process and we will meet up at the direction of Mongolia and while we wait until night time we stay here and party
Captain can we get some more hookers in the meantime as I turned around and said yeah go get a hundred hookers and tell them we are paying them five gold and ten silver to entertain us until nightfall okay now go and bring some more whisky and rum
As he and the boys took off out of the bar to go pick up the hookers and the liquor, I grabbed the Norse women
As we walked into the bathroom and started fucking, meanwhile with the crew picking up hookers, here we are at the most populated place full of hookers in the east north end of Paris as we start telling all of them the good news as they gathered their friends and as we started walking back to the bar while making stops at stores buying crates of rum and whisky with a hundred and thirty hookers, at least thirty-five of us were carrying crates.
Forty Minutes Later
As we walked into the bar again, all we could smell was food, and we saw everybody laughing and eating while we dropped the crates and stacked them on the back, took out the liquor, gave the hookers some bottles, and started drinking ourselves as they dropped three crates of whisky by the chest that's by 5 6'3 vikings with great swords and axes and dual swords, and as we grabbed a hooker and food and started partying.
As we walked out of the bathroom after one hour, while we were walking out, one of the five Vikings tossed me a bottle of my whisky as I caught it, and we walked over by them and sat down as I started talking with the lady, and finally asked, "What is your name?" as I was downing my liquor.
I was waiting for you to ask, and my name is Solveig, and I am 24, and what about you?
Image of Solveig
I am Gorm the Slaughter, and I'm 30, and I am half Norse and half Mongolian, as she raised an eyebrow at me and said, "Are you a Viking? Have you been to Norway? How do you know our language?"
As I answered Solveig's question, for your first question, yes, I hold myself to the Viking culture, and your second question, no, but I plan to go there one day soon, and my mother taught me.
Pov Solveig
I am surprised that you want to visit Norway and hold yourself to our culture, and is it a reason you wish to visit Norway, or is it to explore the world?
Pov Gorm
I want to visit Norway to find my only family left in this world, and yeah, my mother explained everything to me growing up and told me stories as a child, and I was so curious as a kid and wanted to go on raids just like her and experience my other side of the family. What about you? I eyed her.
I was born to a slave and a warrior viking, but my mom died giving birth to me, and so I was never named because my father didn't care about me, and the only thing he did was tell me my mother's name, and that's what I went by ever since.
Growing up, I was beaten for the dumbest things or if he got drunk, but one day on my 21st name day, after coming home from a raid, I brought back a great haul, enough to build my own ship and form my own crew and finally leave, and he tried to steal my wealth because I was still his slave, but I had enough and chopped his head off in one swing with my axe.
And I was chained and sold into slavery ever since. It didn't matter if it was a story of her time at sea or her great raids or even teaching me to speak different languages; as long as I had her, it was worth staying by her side until my 23rd name day when I came home to my sick mother being slapped by one of my father's general's oldest sons, and when I saw that, I snapped and went berserk on him. By the time I came to, I was in chains in front of my father being called a bastard while being held down by 10 of his guards and 2 of his warriors that I beat up and broke their arms, and the general's son I just killed looking at me with eyes of a grim reaper ready to kill as I was dragged across the floor and thrown into a cage and was sent to the front lines until my 28th name day when I just got done killing the enemy's top two generals soaked in blood.
As I stood in front of my dying mother, coughing and blood being left on her hand as she coughed, as she was about to pass on, her last words to me were, "Promise me you will go to Norway and find your half brother," and without hesitation I swore on Thor's hammer I would, but I also picked up her blood and rubbed it across my face and swore on her blood and on Odin himself that I would not leave until I slaughtered my father as I said that with blood-red eyes and yelling in pure rage as I growled without knowing it and all of a sudden she hugged me and the vikings started patting my back and nodded in respect.
The Plan To Rob Lutetia of the Parisii
At The Dead Of Night
As everybody was ready and waiting for the sign, in 2 seconds they saw guards all around town as fire was set to their food supply and farms, in the rich area and the poor area, and then everybody moved to do their missions as everybody was moving.
As I sent the 5 Vikings in, they started killing everybody in sight. I walked in and saw a couple of bodies, and then I walked to the holding cell with the key from the dead body of the captain and asked, "Do you want to join men or stay here with all the dead bodies?"
As all three men said, "I will join you," they said all at once, and then I unlocked the cell and walked back where I came from as they followed behind me. As they saw all the bodies, they picked up a weapon and started killing, and as I saw one guy in a black and gold uniform from the Royal army fight the five Vikings with his companion dead.
As I charged forward, hitting him in his back, he was sent flying face-first into the wall, and as his head was ringing, I swung my axe into his neck. Then blood started shooting out as he dropped dead. We left the building, walking in the alleyway with axes and swords out.
As soon as we got to the west end port, we saw his people killing the last of the guards and dropping bodies out of the ship. We got on the ship as we set off with all three great ships under our control. I tallied the three I just rescued to follow me as the 5 Vikings followed behind them with 10 others following. We entered the office, and I sat down and kicked my feet on the desk. "So, who are y'all?" I stayed quiet as I listened.
"I am Gibor, and I am 23. Also, I have Norse blood in me."
Image of Gibor
"I am Theobald, and I am 25, also known in the army as War Machine."
Image of Theobald
"I am Nicholas, and I am 25, also known as a wizard of poison, and I am a master swordsman."
Image of Nicholas
So I got one question: do any of you know the Norse language or not? I asked, but only Gibor said that he knows a little bit of Norse.
So you three are going to learn it and also be trained to fight in a war, and that is it. So get out and go to the party for now as everybody left.
Solveig walked in and sat on my lap and asked me, "What is the plan after we get to your home?"
"I will ask around and see how bad it is, and it depends on that. Why are you asking now? We have a long wait." As I looked at her, she walked up to me, kissed me, put my hand on my stomach, and said, "I am pregnant."
As I went wide-eyed, "When did you find out?" I was eyeing her stomach with joy, and she responded, "I know my body, and you don't pull out when we do it, and I was asleep with your cum inside me." She laughed at me with joy.
As I stood up and hugged her, I told her, "I will protect you two with my life." I cried in joy as I remembered a moment my mom told me that one day I would see what it feels like to have the feeling to protect someone you love and to have the duty of a father to protect someone new to the world. She hugged me and asked me, "Why are you crying?" with a curious look on her face.
"Because of something my mother said to me when I was younger, and just now I felt a sense of duty to protect." As she listened to me, she hugged me while crying as if she couldn't hold back her emotions anymore. A silence came over us as I took her to the bedroom, and we went to sleep as I couldn't stop looking at her like she was a priceless gem.
As the next couple of days went by in a flash, I spent the whole time learning everything about Solveig and falling in love with her every day. We talked about the baby's future, and she wants us to raise the baby in Norway as a Viking, and I agreed with her. She stopped drinking and started eating more.
As we docked, I told the 5 Vikings to move all our money to my office, and I took some out as we went to meet the owner of the docks. We wanted to find some warehouses on the docks and rent the whole left side of the docks for our ships.
As we were leaving, we found out my dad is having peace talks with his enemies because he is going broke and lost almost his whole army. We also bought two warehouses on the docks
As we settled down in the town and started hunting fish and selling some of them and hunting in the woods and selling pelts, we started doing mercenary work again and found out that we had big bounties on our heads and had started recruiting and training, teaching the Norse language, and were killing everybody that came to take the bounty off our heads.
