*yawns*

A jobless middle-aged man stirred awake from slumber.

He glanced over at the clock on the wall, its surface marred by several cracks.

*Tic Tok Tic Tok*

The echoing sound indicated the emptiness of the room, and it reverberated with a clear audibility, even to the slightest ear.

"Its noon already?" The man sighed, his face reflecting the disappointment he felt.

Reluctantly, he roused from his slumber, appearing as though he would rather stay in bed indefinitely.

"Let's get some fresh air," he said, and hurriedly opened the door to step outside.

A warm gust of wind rushed by, adding to the discomfort of his already frustrating morning.

"Ugh... this heat is unbearable!"

He had an unusual preference for colder things, showing his dislike for anything that was hot or warm.

Hastily shutting the door to his cramped balcony, he hurried back to the washroom and splashed his face with refreshing cold water.

"Ah, that's refreshing." The cool water brought a sense of relief, soothing his senses.

He wiped his face clean and headed to the empty kitchen, hoping to find something to eat.

"Well, it doesn't look like there's much to choose from here," he muttered to himself. Cockroaches crawled along the dirty floor while several decaying mice lay among the scraps of food that had long since gone bad, emitting a putrid odor.

Suddenly, he swiftly retreated toward his room to rest once more, but his progress was interrupted by a misstep.

"Ouch! That really hurt!" he groaned as he fell.

As he glanced down at the object that had caused him to stumble, he realized it was his archaic cell phone.

It was unclear whether he had truly tripped or simply slipped on the phone, but ultimately it didn't matter. What did matter was that his old-fashioned cell phone had caused him to take a tumble.

As he examined the object that caused his fall, he noticed a crack on its screen. It dawned on him that he had actually slipped instead of tripping.

Examining his phone, he attempted to determine whether or not it was still functional.

"Thank goodness, just a crack," he sighed in relief as he examined the phone, "It's still working perfectly fine--" 

Suddenly, the phone switched off. "What? No, come on!"

Frantically, he tried to power on his phone but to his dismay, he realized that the display screen had been shattered under his weight.

"Could this day get any worse?" he muttered to himself, just as his phone rang. It was the bank he had taken a loan from six months ago.

It wasn't a legitimate financial institution, but rather a group of loan sharks who masqueraded as a bank.

He hesitantly picked up the call since he couldn't see the name or number due to the broken display.

He was subjected to a barrage of insults and humiliating words from the people on the other end of the line, leaving him feeling utterly degraded.

The voice on the other end of the line sternly instructed him to repay the loan plus interest within one month, threatening legal action otherwise. He accepted their ultimatum before quickly terminating the conversation.

"Ugh, looks like today's the day I kick the bucket. When am I even supposed to find the time to pay back these goons?"

He remained silent, feeling defeated. He then checked his wallet and discovered a 500 yen coin and some loose change that he had been hoarding for a while.

He hurriedly made his way to the nearest convenience store, determined to grab some instant noodles, ice cream, and a pack of cigarettes. 

He felt like he wouldn't be able to make it through the day if he didn't smoke.

However, ice cream was not his true objective today. There existed other reasons behind his desire for chilly refreshments. It was in fact quite simply because he liked cold things more.

Even his instant noodle meals were enjoyed cold, doused in ice water instead of boiling hot liquid. 

He rushed back quickly, avoiding the sun which he disliked.

Hungry and in a hurry, he mixed ice cream and cold water with the instant noodles, creating the weirdest combination he had ever tasted.

"Perfect. Just perfect."

He finished eating in ten minutes and started smoking, pondering over where he went wrong in life.

"Ha, looks like my demise hasn't made headlines yet?"

"..."

"Why should I be held responsible for paying the loan? The company went bankrupt and it was my uncle who took out the loan in the first place."

"Just because I was supposed to be the company's successor?" 

"..."

"I should have taken my education seriously and listened to my parents. Maybe I wouldn't be in this situation now."

He let out a bitter laugh. "Ha... but I did listen to them," he muttered to himself.

"No, that's beside the point. Looking back, I wish I had taken more time to consider my actions before committing to them."

Blaming fate seemed easier to him than accepting responsibility. While he had been an exceptional student before, he had let himself be swayed by his friends and lost sight of his goals. Did he really, now? Or maybe that was just a rumor.

His parents had pinned their hopes on him achieving top marks, but unfortunately, he failed completely which was the exact opposite of their expectations.

"I often find myself yearning for a peaceful end," he whispered, lost in thought.

"But sometimes I wonder, have I truly lived a life deserving of such a serene departure?"

His heart ached for the tranquility that had eluded him for so long. He longed for a respite, but the weight of his past actions weighed heavily on his soul.

He had been subjected to severe bullying and coercion, which had a profound impact on his mental health. Unfortunately, this culminated in the tragic and unthinkable act of taking the lives of his own parents when he was just 16 years old, again, did he now? Or was it yet another rumor?

Although he had been condemned to death, his situation was complicated by the fact that he had a younger sister to care for. In light of this, his sentence was commuted to a decade of imprisonment.

However, he fell deeper into the criminal world and tragically ended up taking the life of his only remaining family member - his loving sister. The court, taking into account the severity of his repeated violent actions, issued a death sentence without delay.

In his final moments, he made a request to the authorities to grant him one last wish. He asked for a one-month reprieve before his execution.

The request for a one-month reprieve from his death sentence would normally be rejected due to concerns of escape, but his father's friend, who held a high position in the judiciary, managed to convince the authorities to grant the request.

The circumstances surrounding his father's friend's decision to assist a convicted murderer were unclear and left the court perplexed. Many questions remained unanswered. Nonetheless, justice was served and the law was upheld, despite any potential interference from outside parties questioning the corrupt justice system.

The government consented to his request and provided him with a house to live in for the duration of the one-month reprieve. Today marked the final day of his extended time under supervision.

In a moment of despair, he muttered, "I would rather die on my own terms than be killed by those heartless individuals."

Among the food items he had acquired for his last meal, he had obtained a packet of rat poison. In addition to that, he had mixed in a handful of sleeping pills to minimize any potential pain and to ensure that he would pass away peacefully in his sleep. 

It was highly irregular for a prisoner to be allowed access to such harmful substances, but the authorities turned a blind eye to his actions. Their primary concern was to ensure that he would not cause them any further trouble by attempting to take his own life prematurely.

Despite the sleeping pills, he found himself unable to drift off to sleep as his entire life played out before his eyes. 

He couldn't help but ask himself, "Where did I go wrong?" 

The reasons for his heinous actions remained a mystery to him. Did he commit those crimes out of enjoyment or was there a deeper motive behind them? Regardless, the fact remained that he was a murderer, and the weight of his guilt was crushing.

He knew that his past deeds were unforgivable, and he wasn't expecting any redemption from nature. However, he was finally able to see the error of his ways.

As he finally drifted off to sleep, he made a small wish, "If I could be reborn, I want to be the strongest and live a life free from the constraints that led me down this path." 

"A life devoid of restrictions. An existence unshackled."

As he drifted off into slumber, guided by the sedatives he had taken, little did he know that he would soon awaken in a completely different reality, a world beyond his wildest imagination!

Did he really commit the heinous act of killing his own parents, or was he just falsely accused? Was he a mere bystander to the crime, or did someone else carry out the act while he was present? Perhaps it was his own teammate who was the true culprit?

As he slipped away from the realm of the living, the uncertainty of his fate lingered. Perhaps he was destined for another place, far beyond the reaches of this world, called forth by a higher power for some unknown purpose. Or maybe he was being called to account for his sins, to face judgment and receive punishment for the harm he had caused.

Whatever the reason, one thing was certain: his journey had only just begun, and the path ahead was shrouded in mystery and uncertainty.


CREATORS' THOUGHTS

I'm tired of explaining to others the reason for which he killed his family and others. Everything happens for a reason so of course, there was a reason for his doing. Though I can't reveal it yet, it will be done in the later parts of the book.

If you really plan to drop the book just by reading the first 2-5 chaps or so, then go ahead, but don't leave any such comments that would make me mad or demotivate me because you really don't know the depths of this book.

Chapter 3: Chapter 3: Reincarnation

Chapter 3: Reincarnation

"I yearned to be reborn," the young white wolf murmured.

"To be reborn into a life of freedom, guided by strength, and unburdened by limitations," he continued, envisioning a serene and unrestrained existence.

However, reality seemed to play a trick on him. "Wait, hold on! Wasn't that the wish I asked for?" he exclaimed, his confusion evident.

"Am I trapped in a dream or is this tangible?" the wolf questioned himself, slowly opening his eyes to survey his unfamiliar surroundings—the heart of a mysterious forest.

"How did I end up here?" he wondered aloud, grappling with the puzzling circumstances he now found himself in.

In an instant, a strange sensation filled the air, an inexplicable feeling tugging at his instincts.

"It's sweltering... way too hot!" he cried out in shock, his eyes flying wide open to behold a raging forest fire encircling him.

"Now it makes sense, the scorching heat," he whispered, grasping the severity of the situation. Panic crept into his voice, "I'm trapped! The fire surrounds me from all directions!"

'What do I do now!?' he panicked, frantically scanning for an escape route. To his surprise, he found himself face to face with a large, white creature lying just ahead.

'What…'

'What the heck is this? Big white…?', he questioned, his young eyes struggling to fully discern the creature before him. As he looked closer, he realized it was a big white female wolf lying peacefully in front of him.

At only 4-5 days old, he was a tiny wolf pup, vulnerable and lost amidst the raging forest fire.

Though unable to see his reflection to fully grasp his state, the tiny paws made him aware that he was some sort of animal.

'I have no idea what has happened, but it's best to find an escape route first...' he thought to himself, determined to navigate through the perilous situation.

'I need to be careful though, I can't just run into that fire blindly... gotta be smart about it,' he continued, his eyes scanning for any signs of escape route. 

He knew that being dumb and running randomly could only end up killing him by the redness.

But he didn't get any time to even plan as the blazing flames rushed right towards him.

'I must get out before the flames get me.'

Uncertainty fueled his dash through the inferno, frantically seeking refuge from the blazing forest fire.

What happened to being smart? 

'Weird...something is different...' 

He saw a small space opening up in the fire as he ran, but even in that situation, few fire-flakes fell on him - they should have burnt him in the process, however, he felt no pain nor did such a thing happened.

Ahead, as he was running, he spotted a small lake. Relief washed over him at the sight, thinking that he could find safety by jumping into its cool waters and escaping the fiery threat. However, little did he know that his path would be obstructed by a group of humans, standing in his way. 

He put on the brakes, coming to an halt all of a sudden after spotting the humans.

In fact, he froze when he saw the towering humans blocking his path to safety. They were like two walls standing between him and the lake.

'They feel like giants…', he told himself, realizing how small animals view the humans.

He stared, for a second. His first thought should have been running away, but his hazy mind forced him to do something idiotic.

He walked forward, approaching them!

Suddenly, he heard the sound of something whizzing through the air, and before he knew it, arrows had pierced one of his legs.

"Ahhhh! What the hell!?" he yelped in pain as he stumbled back.

Blood oozed out relentlessly, signaling the severity of the injury caused by the arrow that had skewered straight through.

"Have you lost your minds! Why would you do such a thing!?"

Glancing back up at their menacing figures, he noticed they were readying yet another arrow. A wave of dread crashed over him.

'Are these humans trying to kill me?' he wondered with a mix of fear and confusion.

'Wait… Of course they are! I am not a human!'

As he tried to make sense of the situation, another arrow flew towards him, this time aimed at his head. 

Fear overtook him, and he thought to himself, 'This is it. I'm going to die.'

He closed his eyes tightly, accepting death. It was not new, so, it was rather easy to accept. But it was then that a loud howl made its way to the young pup's ears.

*AOOOOOOOOO*

The young wolf pup opened his eyes to witness a huge white wolf being struck by an arrow mid-air.

The arrow had pierced it's chest, close to it's heart. The pristine white fur was red due to the blood that oozed, drops of it falling down and beginning the process of creating a puddle. 

But that was not the only wound.

Shin, who saw the wolf was terrified, not because of the gigantic sharp teeth, but all the arrows that had pierced it's body - 31 arrows.

The white wolf then shifted its gaze towards the pup, who was staring at her, oblivious to everything happening around him.

"Are you alright?", the wolf asked which Shin understood, but didn't reply.

Scared, he glanced at the wolf, a word coming out subconsciously, "Monster."

While in his terms, it would be a praise, but the wolf standing in front of him, flinched upon hearing that. Both his ears that stood tall, fell… in sadness. It's eyes filled with tears momentarily.

Moments of silence surrounded them, only the flicker flames audible. But the silence broke as a cry pierced the air.

"Attack!", one of the humans shouted.

Hearing this, the wolf shook his head, bidding farewell to his tears as he too, shouted at full volume, "RUN!" sending the tiny white puppy into a sprint toward the nearby body of water.

'What's happening?', Shin was confused as this action of his, was out of his control. 

With unparalleled instinctual ferocity, the baby animal leaped into the air and hurdled itself directly into the tranquil lake below.

The larger white wolf stood guard valiantly, intercepting another arrow launched from afar. Terror-stricken, the little pup watched helplessly as the giant arrow thudded deep into the wolf's chest, this time, right into the heart.

Its heart, once beating with courageous purpose, stilled.

'That wolf… protected me.'

'But why?'

But before he could piece together the fragments of truth, the unforgiving waters claimed him and dragged him deeper into the unknown abyss beneath the surface.

'I... I can't breathe!'

The young wolf pup was struggling to stay afloat in the icy cold water. Panic set in as he thrashed about blindly, flailing arms and legs futilely attempting to break the surface. The harsh realization hit him - he never learned to swim.

'A-am I going to die...? Is it for real this time?'

A sense of hopelessness engulfed his consciousness; no amount of thrashing or flailing seemed capable of reversing his fate. He wondered if this was the end for him, if death was truly imminent.

Just as he was ready to let go of life and welcome oblivion, something stirred within him. A sudden, unexpected turn of events changed the course of his future.

*Ding*

[SUPREME PREDATOR SYSTEM has been activated.

Suddenly, a gust of wind swept across the surface of the water. The wind grew stronger and stronger until it formed into a towering vortex that lifted water high into the air.

The wind and water entwined in a dance of elemental fury. The water rose up in a giant spiral, and the wind roared around it, whipping up a storm of foam and spray.

It spun like a wild cyclone, picking up water from the lake and whipping it into a frenzy of droplets and mist. 

The humans, stunned and confused, watched as the tornado-like force moved towards the opposite side of the forest fire, seemingly extinguishing the flames in its path. 

"W-what in the world just happened?!" one of them exclaimed in shock.

"Was that a water dragon? It can't be possible...right?"

The others immediately got scared and fled in terror with all their might. They knew they stood no chance against a being that was classified as an S Rank beast and dominated the water element. 

The mere thought of facing such a powerful creature sent shivers down their spines and they knew they had to escape before it was too late.

But little did they know that it was the pup of a white wolf who had used something so strong to survive. And in this case, it had summoned a massive water dragon-like vortex, a force to be reckoned with.
