The Record of Orc Civilization

Siti Lampir Maimunah, known as Mak Lampir is a princess from the ancient kingdom of Champa.

Mak Lampir is a beautiful woman. Told, one day she met a traveler named Datuk Panglima Kumbang. They both fell in love but the Champa Kingdom rejected their relationship because Datuk Panglima Kumbang was a tiger demon who transformed into a human, also the tiger demon kingdom rejected Mak Lampir who was a human. The two kingdoms have long fought and killed each other.

Feeling disappointed with the Champa Kingdom, Mak Lampir went to meditate on Mount Merapi. There he met a teacher named Grandma Serintil. The teacher taught her about black magic which added to Mak Lampir's supernatural powers. Along with her increasing strength, the longing for Datuk Panglima Kumbang in Mak Lampir's heart grew.

One day she got the news that there was a big war between the Champa Kingdom and the Demon Kingdom. Datuk Panglima Kumbang who succeeded in becoming king of the Demon Kingdom came to the Champa Kingdom to ask for permission to propose to Mak Lampir, but instead of getting a welcome as a prospective son-in-law, he was attacked by the troops of the Champa Kingdom.

Hearing the news, Mak Lampir immediately went to the battlefield to meet her lover. However, fate rejected the two of them from becoming a couple, Mak Lampir managed to meet Datuk Panglima Kumbang but he had become a corpse whose body was already stiff and cold.

With a heart filled with sorrow, Mak Lampir brought the body of Datuk Panglima Kumbang to Mount Merapi. With all the black magic she had learned, Mak Lampir managed to revive Datuk Panglima Kumbang but she had to pay for the miracle with her appearance. Mak Lampir turned into a horrible creature with an ugly face.

Mak Lampir hopes that Datuk Panglima Kumbang will continue to accept her appearance and they can live happily together. However, fate was bullying Mak Lampir, Datuk Panglima Kumbang did not recognize Mak Lampir's face and accused her of being a catastrophe that would destroy the world.

Datuk Panglima Kumbang vows to kill Mak Lampir and save the world from catastrophe. Mak Lampir can only fight and defend her life with a heart full of disappointment.

This disappointment is the seed of anger and this anger is the seed of evil. Mak Lampir knows that her love has run aground, with a vengeful heart the once innocent girl ravaged the human world to find a cure to restore her beauty. She committed a crime that could be called a catastrophe and felony in the human world.

Countless young women grow old in just a few minutes because their youth is sucked by Mak Lampir. Mountains of corpses were formed from the bodies of young men because their energy was used as medicinal herbs by Mak Lampir. Hundreds of thousands of babies disappeared in the middle of the night and became sacrifices to summon demons carried out by Mak Lampir.

Mak Lampir's anger was unstoppable, with the power of her black magic getting stronger along with the crimes she committed making the world of humans and demons fall apart. The Champa Kingdom and the Demon Kingdom gathered their strength and fought Mak Lampir together.

The battle lasted for decades with countless casualties. Mak Lampir summoned demon after demon to become her bloodthirsty army. Until one day Mak Lampir managed to kill Datuk Panglima Kumbang and eat his heart.

She managed to take back the life that she had given him. However, what happened was not according to Mak Lampir's expectations, her beauty did not return, her face was still ugly and her body was still wobbly like a grandmother's. With full of disappointment and annoyance, Mak Lampir disappeared. No one knows where Mak Lampir went and various speculations roam among the people who are still afraid that the catastrophe will return.

That was the end of the story that Moku had heard about the legend of Mount Merapi and Mak Lampir. He never thought that Mak Lampir would return to the mind realm and create a new Mount Merapi in this place.

​ If you think about it, Mak Lampir's decision to return to the mind realm was the right decision. This place is a place where shadows, ideas, fiction, illusions, and dreams from all over the astral realm gather. Perhaps she was hoping to find a way to restore her beauty in this realm.

Moku saw 7 giant tigers walking in front of him. 'Are these the 7 tiger men from the legends?' Moku asked himself.

Moku wanted to ask them but he hold it because he still remembers the etiquette of visiting. Asking these seven giant tigers if they could transform into humans would be rude. If he is going to meet Mak Lampir, Moku hopes that she doesn't have androphobia.

"Don't worry, Mak Lampir does have androphobia but that's only for human males. As an orc, I think you're still safe" said Garuda after reading the anxiety in Moku's heart.

Moku heaved a sigh of relief, he was not afraid of Mak Lampir instead he really wanted to fight with the legendary figure but now he came with the desire to ask for help. Negotiations will be complicated if one party has a hatred for the other party.

After passing through a fairly long hallway they entered a very wide hall. Bookshelves lined up in front of Moku's eyes with each shelf filled with books tightly pressed against each other.

These bookshelves have a height up to the cave ceiling with an amount that can not be counted even with the use of his inner eye though. This library seems to glow with the effect of magma flowing on the roof of the room.

Even though it is very close to the core of the mountain, this library does not feel hot at all, indicating that the library is only made based on the imagination of the creator so that it cannot display the sense that can be captured by the five senses.

The floor of the library is only made of sloping stone which is neatly laid out like ceramic but does not make it slippery on the feet. Dozens of translucent creatures seemed to be walking here and there arranging the books on the shelves. Their shattered faces appeared to be in a state of intense concentration as if they were doing work that required high precision.

The seven tigers stopped right at the door of the library. They stood on the right and left sides of the door like a good gatekeepers.

"Garuda what kind of creature is that?" Moku asked while pointing at the translucent creature with his eyes.

"That Wraith, they are invisible beings formed through the pain and suffering they experience before death. With her black magic, Mak Lampir trapped the pain and suffering in a form like the one you see here. In the astral realm, they can only be seen by people who have opened their inner eyes but in the mind realm they can be seen by everyone," Garuda explained.

Moku felt he had seen this creature somewhere but he couldn't remember when.

A Wraith walked up to them and bowed his head to Garuda "Welcome to Mount Merapi, O ruler of the mind realm, the mighty Garuda. Mak Lampir is already waiting for you, she can't welcome you because there is something important" said the wraith in a voice like a broken record.

"It wasn't me who wanted to see her but it was this young moksha who needed with her. I was only carrying out my duty as a guide." Garuda turned to Moku "Moku I will only take you here, the rest is up to you to take care of yourself. I don't think I need to tell you how to return to the astral realm"

Moku nodded "Yes, Kasutpada Kacarma sandals will take me back"

"Okay, see ya!" Garuda enveloped his body with his wings and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Moku smiled bitterly at Garuda's overly slang goodbye. He turned his attention back to the wraith in front of him. Moku thinks if he fights this wraith how will he beat him?

"Moksha Moku, I will take you to meet Mak Lampir" said the wraith in a voice that still sounded like a broken record.

Without waiting for Moku's answer, the wraith turned around and took a step forward. Moku followed behind him, his gaze still analyzing how best to defeat this wraith. He didn't know if his punch would have any effect or if it would pierce his body the way the Treants' blows pierced through his body when he transformed into a mind being.

"what's your name?" Moku asked in a flat tone.

The wraith didn't answer right away and seemed to think before the sound of the broken cassette came back "We don't have a name, Mak Lampir wipe out all our memories after making us like this. I feel it is a form of Mak Lampir love because if we still have memories then it will only be filled with pain and suffering due to the torture"

His answer made Moku's hair stand on end. He couldn't imagine what would happen to the humans who were turned into wraiths.

They didn't talk to each other again after that, not long after they arrived at a door made of mahogany with carved Kala's head around it. The Wraith stopped in front of the door and turned to look at Moku.

"Mak Lampir is behind this door. I hope you keep your manners, even though your life is under the protection of Garuda but Mak Lampir can do anything to you as long as you don't die. And know that I'm not a dead creature yet. Do you understand me?" said the wraith in a warning tone.

Moku understood what he meant and bowed his head slightly in thanks.

Moku walked towards the door and pushed it. He couldn't wait to meet one of the legendary figures in his childhood story.
