The journey up the mountain to meet the dragon, after all who would make trouble for the strongest race in existence? At the top of the mountain was a small stone temple. It was well maintained, the villagers of the surrounding areas often came up to take care of it. The place seemed empty as the pack approached. Inside the temple incense was lit, and several burning candles lined the walls.
An elderly human man sat alone at a table, a book laid open in front of him, as he puffed on the pipe in his mouth. He had long black hair that showed signs of greying. His red robes were in pristine condition. Without looking up the man's familiar voice greeted his ears. "You're a week early pup, and you've brought some friends I see. "
Cyan bowed, the wolves behind him cowered in fear at the sight of the man. "Greetings your imminence, I have arrived as ordered."
"Come closer and let this old man take a look at you. Ah you've exceeded the normal limit on stats, well except for your constitution. But that's all right, your results are already impressive. You've earned two titles and unlocked an extra stat. As a reward for your hard work I am going to grant you a gift. "
"Humans over the years have developed a method to grow stronger, as they are much weaker than the demonic beasts or beast man that populate this world. They have developed a series of professions that they call classes. These classes are governed by well me. And the people who have these classes must register at the adventurers guild. They go out, killing monsters, searching for materials, and clearing dungeons, those kind of things. Some are recruited into war."
"I say this because I plan on sending you to the human world. You can't have a class as you are neither a human or a true beast man. However the titles you have gained have allowed you to mimic the main ability of one of those classes. And with the ability I plan on bestowing you, you should be able to blend in. The ability is called shapeshift. It is the same ability I am using now. It is a dragon exclusive skill, but as my disciple you will be able to use it in a limited capacity. I can shift into any form I want. You however will only be able take the form of a werewolf. A half man, half beast that is similar to a beast man, but more bestial. Combined with your pack you will be able to pass off as a rare subclass of the druid. The beast master. A side effect of that class is a beast form, similar to your transformed state. This will effect your future evolutions, but I think that is something you can live with."
"Unfortunately you are of an insufficient level to gain this ability. This will cause all of your evolution points from 1 to 9 to be spent unlocking it. Unfortunately until that happens you will be stuck in your werewolf form. You will still receive your random evolution at 10, and evolution points after that. Any questions? No? Good. Enjoy the human world."
Excruciating pain filled Cyans body, he fell to the floor, the world spinning around him. He felt his bones breaking, his joints dissolving. His skin breaking apart as his blood flowed onto the floor. Behind his pack started howling, sensing their alpha's pain. The world went dark.
When he woke up he was no longer in forest. He stood up unsteadily, only after a moment realizing that he was on his knees. His paw had changed, it had become a massive bestial hand, he once again, for the first time in this world, he had five fingers. The hand was covered in Dark black fur, bestial claws on the end of each finger.
He lifted his hand to his face. His muzzle was still there, and his canine ears still on top of his head. Most of his body was covered in fur, some parts thick and long, while others shorter. He looked like a werewolf. Strangely this form felt natural to him, a combination of his past human form and his new wolf form.
Around him his pack lay sleeping, making a tight circle. As he rose to his feet the pups were roused from their slumber. No, they were no longer pups. There bodies had entered adolescence, and they were officially level 1. There stats had doubled from their child states, and so had his.
He felt immense strength moving through his body. His senses seemed sharper, and the world moved slower. He felt like a new man... wolf... thing.
