Chapter 2 Gorilla God Ceremony
In the center of the altar, the ceremony had begun. One female at a time went up to the altar to awaken her son's lineage. The atmosphere was filled with solemn tension as each gorilla waited expectantly and reverently for the crucial moment. The female gorillas, enveloped in an aura of concentration, focused within, seeking to awaken the ancestral lineage that resides within them. Under the watchful eye of the Gorilla God statue, they performed the ritual with a mixture of devotion and determination.
Meanwhile, Kai remains on the sidelines of the ceremony, his gaze fixed on a point beyond the visible horizon. Beside her, something unusual hovered in the air, invisible to the eyes of the other gorillas but palpable to him. It was the system he had brought with him when he was reincarnated into the young gorilla's body, a mysterious artifact awaiting his complete awakening.
Kai viewed the system with a mixture of hope and caution. Although he was almost ready to activate, he knew his journey was just beginning. There was still much to learn about its capabilities and limitations, and Kai was determined to master this new tool masterfully.
As he watched the system, a sense of gratitude and determination washed over him. Despite the uncertainties and challenges he faced, Kai felt grateful for the opportunity to start over in a world so vibrant and full of possibilities. He knew that with perseverance and courage, he could overcome any obstacle that came his way.
"Hmmm, since awakening to this body, the system is still loading." - said Kai, with a voice full of expectation and anxiety. "It's still 90% for the system to awaken... I confess that I'm very happy about it. I may not have an extraordinary gorilla bloodline, but at least I have something that can defy the heavens!"
However, a feeling of caution came over him. “But I cannot be so deceived in my expectations”, he pondered, with seriousness reflected in his gaze. "In these years, I have lived only with my determination and determination. I can't always count on the system... And I still don't know if this will be like I read in all these stories about systems. This is real life!"
So, with his heart filled with a mixture of emotions, Kai renewed his promise to face the future with bravery and determination. He was ready to accept the challenge that fate had in store for him and prove his worth, not just to himself, but to the entire Flame Gorilla clan.
Returning to the altar, the atmosphere was more tense than ever, with an atmosphere full of expectation and mystery. The gorillas stood silently, watching in reverence as final preparations were made for the next stage of the ancestral ceremony.
With the baby already ejected from the female's body, it was delicately placed inside a capsule made of translucent crystal, which was housed in a cavity carved into the base of the Gorilla God statue. Each capsule represented a unique opportunity for a new clan heir, a chance to perpetuate the ancestral lineage and strengthen the ties that linked the Flame Gorilla clan to its glorious past.

As each baby gorilla was placed in its designated capsule, anticipation grew among those present. The murmur of the surrounding jungle echoed in harmony with the racing hearts of the gorillas, creating a natural symphony that accompanied the sacred ritual.
Then, the long-awaited moment arrived. The Gorilla God statue began to float in the air, slowly rising from its stone pedestal. A soft glow enveloped the statue, intensifying as it began to rotate rapidly, as if imbued with ancient energy.
Minutes after the statue loomed over the clan, it began to slowly spin, and it spun and spun... but nothing happened.
This scene could only mean one thing: no bloodline was awakened in any of the baby gorillas.
The realization of what this meant spread across the clan like a shadow, casting a heavy atmosphere of sadness and anguish over everyone present. It was further proof of the decline of the gorilla clan, a painful reminder that it had been a long time since a noble member had emerged to honor their traditions and strengthen their lineage.
The gorillas that awakened their lineage are distinguished not only by their colorful coats, but also by a number of other striking characteristics. In addition to their distinctive physical appearance, these gorillas display exceptional strength that manifests not only in their robust musculature, but also in their enhanced endurance and agility.
Furthermore, the natural talents of these gorillas are extraordinary. They demonstrate incredible mastery in various areas, from combat skills to magical talents, reflecting a deep connection with the elements of nature. Their ability to master these abilities is a source of admiration and respect within the clan, and they often assume roles of leadership and responsibility due to these exceptional abilities.
Mentally, gorillas with the awakened bloodline exhibit remarkable clarity of thought and reasoning power. They are able to make quick and accurate decisions even in the most challenging situations, demonstrating keen intelligence and natural leadership skills. These qualities make them trustworthy and respected by their clanmates, who often seek their guidance and advice.
Furthermore, gorillas with the awakened bloodline have a deep spiritual connection to the world around them. They exhibit an unusual sensitivity to the energies and vibrations of the environment, allowing them to perceive and understand subtle nuances that escape the perception of others. This keen intuition guides them on their journeys and allows them to face challenges with confidence and determination.
In the Gorilla tribe, gorillas with the awakened bloodline are true pillars of strength and wisdom, leading their people with honor and courage. Their presence is a source of inspiration for the other members of the clan, who see them as role models and reliable protectors in times of need and with each passing year, fewer noble members exist in the gorilla tribe. This means that the awakened bloodline is becoming a rarity, and each gorilla that possesses it is seen as a valuable treasure to the clan.
The leader of the Flame Gorillas clan is called Kumoo. He is known for his grandeur, standing approximately 1.90 meters tall and with red fur that shines even as he ages. A voluminous white beard adorns his face, complemented by the use of an eye patch on the right side.
Kumoo is often seen carrying a wooden cane, which lends an aura of antiquity and wisdom to his figure. As clan leader, his presence inspires respect and trust among the Flame gorillas, and his wisdom is widely recognized.
Leader Kumoo, an imposing figure among the Flame Gorillas, felt immensely saddened by the outcome of the ceremony. His tired eyes reflected decades of leadership and concern, for it had been many years since he had seen any sign of a bloodline awakening among the clan's youth.
With a regretful sigh, Kumoo looked around, taking in the worried faces of the clan members. He knew the situation was serious. Only five gorillas still maintained the awakened lineage, and with each passing year, this number decreased.
"My vitality is dwindling, and I still see no sign of a successor capable of rebuilding the clan," muttered Kumoo sadly, her words filled with concern for the future of the clan.
Looking at the gloomy horizon, Kumoo continued in a deep and serious voice, "The ancient clan leader has predicted an imminent catastrophe that will come u
pon us. We must be prepared for what is to come."
