Part 1
[Day 001]
7th Plane World Pride Plains Domain
My son the day you were born the very mountains of the Pride Plains whispered the name Kerrakion… my child I wait with pride as you grow into a conquerer of the seas and five lands. Remember you must rule with majesty, honor, wisdom, and strength throughout… and I know you will be showing restraint when exercising your might for a king is someone who shows compassion. As the truest victory is conquering the hearts of your kingdom, show the world that lions are the pride of beasts… the true essence of a kingdom… for your kingdom shell everlast in generations to come. Our bloodline must be the ruler of the cat's family… make them all bow and shower with your majesty. My son, I tell you this for I have given myself and your mother the sole purpose of delivering you to this world as the king of our species and all other species, rule as you are meant to be of our greatest blood… Lion King Kerrakion!!
W-What is this? What happened and where am I?
Waking up and glancing around me I can see nothing of my body.
I have no physical form.
Also, I seem invisible and can’t feel anything.
What is going on?
Hey, Avarice Orb what happened to my body and what is this place?
Although I had no form or shape I can see what's around me is some form of cave.
An animal cub I can’t tell what animal since it is crouched up like a ball, but its fur seems to be a little pale blue with cat-like fur.
Calling out to the Avarice Orb system also seems futile as no matter how long I call it out there is no response.
Oh, there are some movements.
The little cub started moving.
It was getting up, stretching like a cat.
So it is a lion cub!
Although I don’t know what is going I think I’m getting what is going on.
I could remember that before finding myself here I was in a white space choosing what beast form I wanted to take.
[You have picked the form lion.]
[Are you sure?]
[Y/N]
[Yes]
[Starting simulation]
So a simulation while my body changes into a lion’s form.
I hope I don’t end up a lion cub when this is over.
The lion cub is fairly small though I don’t know if it is to me or fairly small like it's meant to be.
Since my body is like 20 feet tall compared to the average person.
But I guess that doesn’t matter since all is a simulation.
The little cub started to walk out of the cave.
The cave was like a bear's lair, maybe it belonged to a bear in the past.
While the cub walked I tried observing my surroundings but I could only look to the sides and the front.
I’m like a formless entity observing the little cub while floating above him and can only to my sides and front like a gamer playing in the third person point view.
I can’t see what’s behind me unless the little cub turns around it would seem.
After walking like 2 minutes I started to wonder how long this walk was gonna take and what exactly is my current status… wait status yes status.
System open status!

How totally unexpected… I was hoping to see my status window but what is this, is this some sort of game?
At this point, I don’t know what to make out of the situation.
Maybe I’m to watch as this cub grows into adulthood and evolves to learn from it how to be a genuine beast.
As for this status panel, it might be a chart that will show the cub’s growth and abilities…
Well, it doesn’t really matter anymore I’ll just wait and ask that system when things are over.
And anyway, where is this little cub going?
Leaving that damn cave all there is on the outside seems to be a vast snow land, I don’t see anything else just snow plain.
The snow is almost covering all his body only his head is the only visible thing.
It’s like he is in a water swimming.
*
It’s been several hours since King arrived in this strange world where he had no form and shape.
Viewing everything from a third-person perspective but only around the little cub and not the whole world.
King viewed around him as the little cub wandered aimlessly to find prey and found no signs of life, returning to his cave with a grumbling stomach.
[Day 007]
If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
By now King was no longer focused on his surroundings and thinking about his past as the little cub came out every day looking for food as his hunger was growing out of control.
Suddenly, while in his own mind, King caught a glimpse of white silhouettes in the distance screaming.
H-Hey, hey there… something is coming there!
Also sensing fluxions of life forms the little cub faced what seemed to be a horde of snow leopards sneaking up on him stealthy.
They say snow is the enemy of all who walk on it.
Animals of cold are forced to live in harsh conditions where food is scarce and the temperature will devour you at any moment.
The little cub had witnessed and experienced it all as he went about seven days without food or water.
This in turn had made him turn off what logical or instinctual thought in his head, he just wanted food right now, not mattering whether it was bigger or stronger than him or in whatever number they were as he would hunt any lifeform that he saw.
On the other side, seeing that their stealth was seen through the snow leopards rushed at him on all sides their expression ferocious with fangs and claws out.
The little cub’s eyes only saw something else though pouncing on the closet one.
Meeting head to head with each other, surprisingly the little cub was not so little after as he was almost the same height as them only a little shorter.
After the two cats clashed the rest of the leopards joined too swarming on the little cub.
Claws slashed and fangs intermingled like both cats wanted to tear each other's mouth, blood, and flesh splatter.
The little cub was overpowering the leopard he was clashing with though unfortunately for him the rest were not just watching as they biting and tearing apart.
Putting all his strength into his jaws and claws the little cub grasped the neck of the leopard twisting it to the side and biting on its neck.
Howls of pain came out of the leopard immediately losing its life afterwards.
[Level Up]
After the death of the leopard, the cub began feasting on it while simultaneously fending off the others with what strength he had though it wasn’t enough.
Their numbers surpassed ten and it was difficult for all of them to have a share at him so some waited on the side circling the battle.
As the battle raged on where seven leopards pounced on one little cub that was the same size as them they started to notice something that was particularly impossible for one such as themselves should have.
From their perspective when a prey is incircled and pounced on by all sides it should die not long after but this little one was still fighting them while feasting on one of their own.
No matter how they tore him to pieces his flesh was coming back together like he was never injured before and it would have seemed like that if not for the blood that splattered everywhere.
After satiating his hunger the little cub turned his attention to the others starting his killing mode.
His claws extended longer and his fangs grew a little bigger looking rougher like blades that were never refined.
A slash was sent like an upper claw opening the neck of a leopard on the right and at the same time he pounced upwards his fangs straight at the upper neck of another.
And like that, a battle of untold gratification unfolded as the little cub lost himself to bloodlust and not hunger that drove him before.

Holly, that was insane watching the little beast go berserk mode.
This was really entertaining only I wish it was me, I live for this stuff.
The pleasure of blood and flesh flying around as one fights to his heart contends yes give me that!!
If this is what awaits me then I really can’t wait for it…
Oh, and it seems my little buddy is finally back to himself… alright now it is a given cleaning up the battlefield after a hard battle.
The little cub started eating up the remains I kinda respect that but I don’t think even in my ruthlessness that I would do such a thing.
Sure I wanna be a beast capable of such madness but I wouldn’t go to the extreme you know like eating my kind or just any other beast.
I’m a refined man of the modern world.
I scorn eating anything that is not a herbivore aside from some birds of course.
And this might be because once upon a time in my days at the coliseum where I was a fighter, fighting for my freedom…
… I was met with a situation where I almost ate someone.
Back then I was a real animal.
To leave the coliseum I was going berserk in fights brutality had no meaning to me.
Because at the coliseum we were forced to fight all kinds of animals that were experimented with it was a battle of 90% death guaranteed.
There to survive I ate all and anything, starting the battle with me consuming the beast and not fighting it.
Then it happened one day when all the fighters were put into a cage and starved, while outside the cage was a serpent with two heads that could swallow a whole truck.
They called it Titan-naboa, a serpent filled with Force Energy a mutant.
That day my freedom was just right there but I had to beat on an empty stomach so… the idea of eating the other fighters came into my mind.
It was because then I was alone with no one to work with besides in that coliseum only one person was destined to gain freedom while everyone else had to die at the winner's hand.
Anyway, long story short there I met with some people I could trust my back with.
There was Nyza a woman capable of parallel thinking and coming up with great plans, Akane a sword master who lusted for blood she could even cut iron with her sword, Saketsumi another crazy one who only wanted to see blood spill she was close to Akane, Kia a silent muscular woman with brute strength that rivaled mine, Chloe a gun-loving woman that wanted glory and give aspiration for her skills, and there were also many others but these five only remain as the rest died either in our hands or to an enemy.
If not for them stopping me from becoming a monster with no dreams I might have just given up everything that day.

[Day 067]
Wow, day 67.
When is this simulation going to end I’m tired of watching this lion go in and out of this cave and fighting with snow leopards in a land of nothing but snow.
I don’t how anyone can stay sane like this.
It’s been 67 days while stuck in a state of nothing though I’m somehow able to watch what this little lion that is growing older by the days does like it’s some kind of tv.
Hahh!
I don’t know when I’ll lose myself in this place.

And since when have you ever been in any other state than mad and what’s that bored I see.
Even this guy’s bored forget me anyway can you leave this place in search of other places where there is no snow?
Hey, hey…
I started calling out to him so he could listen to me somehow as I really didn’t want to be in this place anymore it’s just plain empty with no excitement to it.

Part 3
[Day 102]
A vest plain of snow an adolescent lion chased after snow leopards the size of a cat compared to a dog.
In all the days where he hunted and ate those snow leopards his body just grew bigger as he leveled up.
Right now he was like a big doy chasing after a horde of cats.
The adolescent lion swaps his claws and ends the lives of several cats in one swoop.
By now he was just used to having a thrill as he killed the snow leopards that gave him little experience.
The adolescent lion jumped from side to side killing any snow leopards that failed to evade his claws turning into pieces afterwards.
After finally killing the last one effortlessly the adolescent lion stopped, feeling full suddenly.
And seeing this King who was shapeless and formless called out to the status panel to observe the results.
Open status!

Unbeknownst to King who was looking at the status panel the adolescent suddenly started sprinting towards what seemed an endless land of snow but a mile away from him appeared a cliff after sprinting for an hour…
His sprinting came to a halt as an unfamiliar scent entered his nostrils.
Whoosh
Standing on the edge of the cliff a land of colorful beauty unfolded itself.
Below him a waterfall and beyond it a vester plain of grass and forests full of all kinds of cats… leopards, jaguars, cheetahs, pumas, lions, tigers, and other big and smaller cats.
Finally coming back to his senses as well King looked at the beautiful land in flabbergasted… “Woow.”
