บท 274: That Weird Blue Guy

When I was born, the first thing that I saw was the full moon.

It was like a mother, kindly gazing down on me from the heavens and gifting me the power to survive in this world.

As I grew, I began to understand a few things about myself and my surroundings.

Depending on the phases of the Moon, my power would increase and decrease beyond my control.

On moonless nights, I had to hide deep underground because this was when I was at my weakest.

The concept of time eluded me, but as the seasons came and went, my intelligence also increased.

It was then that I realized I was different from the other Monsters in the forest.

Aside from me, there were three powerful beings, and I didn’t dare approach them, in fear that they would hunt me down.

The first one was the weird-looking monster in the North.

It had the body of a Lion, the wings of a Bat, and the tail of a Scorpion.

The Humans called it, King Manticore.

A very fitting name for such a regal beast.
