Chapter 1: Jungle Rebirth
In the heart of the dense jungle of Planet Serene, the small clan of Flaming Gorillas gathers to celebrate the ancient tradition of the Gorilla God. Most of the clan's gorillas are black, with dark and imposing coats, but among them a few stand out with coats in vibrant and bright colors.
The Flame Gorilla clan was once a powerhouse in the majestic Emerald Forest, with its noble and powerful members ruling the lands with their majesty and strength. However, over the centuries, the clan's splendor began to slowly fade, like the colors of a sunset dissolving into the distant horizon. The wise and valiant leaders of the clan were replaced by ordinary gorillas, whose courage and determination could not rival the legends of the past. Gradually, the Flame Gorilla clan was reduced to a shadow of its former self, losing its influence and prestige among the other creatures of the forest.
Long ago, the entire planet was marked by the march of gorillas, led by the First Great Gorilla God. His rise to power was meteoric, conquering lands and waging wars against countless races. However, the First Great Gorilla God's unbridled ambition eventually drew the wrath of leaders of many races, who united in a plot to overthrow him. In a treacherous ambush, the great gorilla leader was killed, sending his clan into a spiral of chaos and disorder.
With the loss of their supreme leader, the gorilla tribe was vulnerable to attacks from their enemies. Many races took the opportunity to further weaken the gorillas, resulting in a gradual decline in their power and influence.
Faced with increasing persecution and pressure from external enemies, the descendants of the gorilla tribe found themselves forced to divide into separate subraces, each seeking to survive and preserve their identity in a hostile and ever-changing world. Thus, the diversity of gorilla subraces was born, each with its own significance and elemental affinity, as an attempt to adapt to adversity and ensure the survival of the gorilla clan amidst the storms of history.

As the gorillas prepare for the ceremony, a young black-furred gorilla silently watches the movement around him. This is Kai, a reincarnated being, a human soul who has found his way to this new mystical world. Despite being reborn in a gorilla body, Kai carries with him memories of his previous life and a feeling of strangeness towards gorilla traditions and customs.
As Kai watches the ceremony in awe, he feels a mix of emotions. On the one hand, he marvels at the grandeur of the event and the pride his people have in their ancestral traditions. On the other hand, he questions himself about his role in this new world and what destiny has in store for him.
"It's been exactly 1 year since I was reincarnated in this mystical world... I never imagined something like this would exist", mutters Kai to himself, reflecting on his journey so far.
As the ceremony unfolds and the gorillas eagerly await the birth of future gorillas, Kai feels an inner fire ignite. A quiet determination takes hold of him, a desire to find his purpose in this new world and to honor the opportunity for a new life.
"I never left the clan... But I was told that this world is very dangerous... There are countless dangerous races and people walking around...", Kai murmurs again, his eyes shining with a mixture of curiosity and excitement .

"Beings that have the power to cut down a mountain with a single blow... You know, that doesn't scare me. In fact, it makes me incredibly excited!", he adds, with a spark in his eyes and a smile full of enthusiasm, barely managing to contain his excitement at the exciting possibilities that the unknown world presents.
As the sun sets over the jungle, Kai knows his destiny is just beginning to unfold. He is determined to face the challenges that come his way and to shape his own future, regardless of the adversities that may arise. Kai's journey into the wild has just begun, and he's ready to face whatever fate has in store for him.

As the moon shone in the night sky, illuminating the dense jungle with its soft silver light, the Flame Gorilla clan gathered for a special ceremony. At the center of the clan, all the adult female gorillas that were pregnant were grouped together, shrouded in an aura of expectation and mystery.
Each gorilla clan possessed a precious relic, an ancient statue that represented the Gorilla God and held the power to reveal the elemental affinity of the baby gorilla that was about to be born. This ceremony, held every year, was eagerly awaited, as the baby who demonstrated an exceptional affinity with most of the elements would be considered the successor of the Gorilla God.
However, despite the hopes and dreams surrounding this ancient ceremony, most gorillas were skeptical. It had been countless years since any sign of a successor to the Gorilla God had been seen, and the expectation of witnessing such an event again was low.
But even so, the clan met with respect and reverence, honoring the traditions that had been passed down from generation to generation. As the stars twinkled in the night sky and the jungle echoed with the sounds of nature, the gorillas waited in silence, waiting for the moment when fate would reveal its verdict.
Kai was in the background of the ceremony, but his attention was scattered. The chance of a successor to the Great Gorilla God being born was slim; the gorilla clan had been without a successor for countless generations.
It had been a year since Kai had arrived in this world. "I haven't done much in this world yet... The clan leaders are very reclusive with young people", he reflected. "In the years I've been here, I've been training a lot, because in two months there will be another ceremony for young gorillas to become adults."
"From what I've been told, it will be a fighting competition to see who will be worthy of being a clan warrior," Kai continued. "I'm really looking forward to this, even if I'm not the favorite. I trained a lot for this..."
As Kai was lost in thought, the Gorilla God ceremony finally began. In the center of the clan, on a small altar, 10 female gorillas were positioned.
This ceremony was not only intended to reveal a successor, but also to identify future promise for the clan. For example, a gorilla that had two colors in its fur - one red and the other purple - would have affinity with two elements. Although he was not qualified to be the successor, he would have many opportunities in the gorilla clans.
Gorillas were divided into many subraces:
Red Gorillas: With their vibrant red coats, the gorillas of this subrace have a natural affinity with fire magic. They master flames with ease, displaying an exceptional ability to control and manipulate the fiery element in their battles and rituals.
Purple Gorillas: Purple gorillas sport coats of deep, rich hues, reflecting their affinity for lightning magic. They channel electricity deftly, hurling powerful bolts at their enemies and demonstrating an intimate connection with the lightning and thunder of the jungle.
Green Gorillas: With coats that resemble the green leaves of the forest, green gorillas have a special affinity with nature and plant life. They can manipulate wood and plants masterfully, using their magic to heal, revitalize, and camouflage themselves among the lush vegetation of the jungle.
Blue/White Gorillas: With coats that vary between shades of blue and white, these gorillas have a dual affinity for water and ice. They control water currents and snowstorms with ease, freezing their enemies in their tracks and navigating the waters with elegance and dexterity.
Gray Gorillas: Gray gorillas sport coats that appear to disappear into the morning mist, reflecting their affinity for wind and air. They can summon blustery winds and powerful air currents, flying through the treetops and disorienting their opponents with their aerial abilities.
Brown Gorillas: With coats of solid, earthy tones, brown gorillas have a fundamental affinity with the earth. They manipulate the elements of the ground with ease, erecting walls of earth and rock to protect themselves or wreak devastating havoc on their enemies.
Black Gorillas: With their dark, dull coats, black gorillas do not have a specific elemental affinity and are often discriminated against by other gorilla clans. Considered the weakest in the hierarchy, they struggle to find their place in gorilla society and are often relegated.
