The girls stayed the night and left the next morning I was both happy and sad to see them go, but I knew I would be safer alone. I saw the girls off and fell fell back into my routine, the plants stopped growing larger but the height was still impressive. I went another year alone, when on the way back to my house I stumbled over an intense pain flowed through my body, my vision went blurry and eventually dark. I woke up in a white room before me was a simple desk with a chair on either side, sitting across form me was an old man who coughed and pulled out some papers.
God: Well lets get this out of the way i'm god, you are not dead just unconscious, and the reason you are here is because you awoke a special power.
Lucien: what?
i had read plenty of novel in my time alone so inside I was screaming in excitement this was the dream of so many.
God: Well earth was once a plant rich with Mana but with so many humans it was spread far to thin to have any effect. Well the Eirno fixed that issue but the plant core still needed to generate Mana, you may have noticed in increase in plant, tree, and animal size.
Lucien: Yes everything got bigger but what does this have to do with me?
God: I'll get there well this Mana finally hit its pinnacle and humanity across the world can finally wield it once more. But you are different from most humans to be exact there are five of you who are born with a rare physique, now i cant tell you who the others are that's for you to find out.
Lucien: what does this mean for me?
God: Well you are an outlier not meant to awaken, the four physiques follow the four elements fire, water, wind, and water people who have them will be in-tune with their element. They will grow powerful quickly and dominate this world leading it to victory and power much like those cultivation novels.
Lucien: Well what did I get?
God: You got the Monster King body, you are destined to be the king of monsters and to over run all life. You will be the bane of all Humans and the arch-enemy of the four chosen ones but fate is not set you can win against them.
Lucien: So I am no longer human? And to make it worse I will be hunted by my former kind! I have to kill them?!
God: Sadly you must every hero needs an enemy and the world chose you.
Lucien: Oh! I'm not upset this is perfect!
God: How so?
Lucien: Well what better excuse to kill those human scum than being a monster who can grow by killing and consuming.
God: Well that is true I wish you the best of luck and I forgive you for any sin you commit.
I woke up back in my body but it was no longer human, I manged to move all four of my limbs and got to a lake where i saw my reflection I was a pure white wolf. I adapted to my new form quickly, I took to running around and jumping every where to get used to my new body. I was mid jump off a rock when a influx of information hit me sending me tumbling into the pond near my house, it contained how i could advance my form and I was right killing beasts or humans would make me stronger. I had no idea how many I needed to kill or what would happen when I got the kills, I was unable to speak anymore nor farm. I decided to leave my home I would never grow in such a sheltered place and I had things to do like get some revenge, I know I was going to hunt down every human on this plant survival of the fittest. I took one look back at my home and shed a single tear so much had happend here some good some bad but it was where my family lived, I was going to miss them and make the Eirno pay. Running off into the woods away from my home I marveled at the beauty of the world tree's stretched up to the clouds and the air was cleaner that it had even been, vibrant plants grew all around intoxicating the air leaving me a bit dizzy. I was interrupted by a growling from my stomach it seemed I needed eat, I decided to sniff the air something I saw animals do before and shockingly it worked or more accurately I could smell something musky among the sent of flowers. I stalked towards it and saw a small rabbit drinking some water, I saw nothing nearby so I pronounced and missed by a couple feet, it was harder than it looked watching my lunch flee left me disappointed but i needed to eat so I moved on. After several tries I finally caught a rabbit and bit into it, the taste was amazing and disgusting the animal part of me loved it but the human part told me it was raw and gross. I forced my way through the meal and started to look for a safe place to stay, I needed a new home a cave would be great or a hollow tree. I wondered deeper into the woods looking for a place to sleep, I was still searching as the sun went down and close by I heard howling I grew paranoid looking every where waiting for something to jump out at me. I saw a cave in a cliff face not to far from myself, and took off for it shouting with glee in my mind that I had a place to stay when I saw eyes glowing in the darkness multiple eyes. I was surrounded, weak, and alone I instinctively growled and watched as a pack of wolves slowly stepped out of the darkness, we eyed each other up tense waiting for who would make the first move.
