Get our licenses? It had just occurred to Axel that David had an accent which was weird. But what he was more excited about was the licenses. It was time to get a license!
"Are we really going to get our licenses?" Axel and Angela said in unison while staring at David. He could feel the subtle but dangerous aura coming from his niece, it felt like if he said, "Nah! I'm kidding!" and laughed it off, his niece would jump on him and rip his tongue out of his mouth. "Since you want to laugh, good luck doing it without a tongue!" that's what David was imagining in his head before Angela spooked him.
"You're not lying are you?" Angela inquired while staring at her uncle which made him uneasy.
"Y-yes ma'am!" David blurted out almost immediately after his niece finished her sentence. For some reason, he felt like he was in danger and it reminded him of his years when he was a soldier in training and his captain was extremely overbearing and strict. "Light magic is for sissies, leave my training camp, weakling!" He had recalled being bullied by his captain because he had an affinity for light magic. David looked like he was on the verge of crying.
Angela was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered and said while grabbing her uncle's arm, "Come on, let's get our licenses already!"
"O-Okay let's go get them!" David said as he quickly gained his fragile composure.

I didn't know where we were going to get our licenses from, so I followed behind Angela and David so they could lead the way. After about 5 minutes, we arrived at a tent set up with 2 guards standing on the corners. They both were wearing silver armor that reflected the light of the lowering sun and were carrying big blades with carvings on the hilt. The blades were black with the carvings glowing a bright orange-yellow that looked mystical. When we neared the tent, one of the guards spoke as he raised his hand in front of us, "Hold. Are you here for a Dungeon Raider License?" the guard said.
"Yes, just these two," David said while signaling us to move forward, so we did. The guard just barely flinched when he saw we weren't even at the age of marriage yet and we were already coming to get a license. "You two, come with me," the guard said with a stern face. We went inside the tent, which was unusually bigger than it should have been. The floor was made of glossy wood with intricate carvings. There were also multiple pillars made of what looked like wood, but it looked too fancy and felt too soft. It was very weird, but soon we reached a desk with a woman sitting behind it."
She had light blond hair with deep blue eyes that reminded Axel of the color of the planet Neptune as there were no specks of any other color in her eyes. She had a V-shaped body with broad shoulders, a sharp nose, and small lips from what Axel could observe. Her breasts were also on the larger side. She wore a black suit that was buttoned just under her breasts, pushing them up like they were in a cup. It would make any man forget why they came here in the first place.
"These two are here for licenses," the guard said as he moved from in front of us and stood to the left.
"Names." the woman at the desk said in an aloof tone which surprised Axel.
"Axel," I responded.
"Angela," Angela responded to the woman at the desk in the same aloof tone as the woman, slightly irritating the woman.
I was slightly confused as to why Angela did that. But over the past two weeks, I noticed that her personality has changed a couple of times. This maybe me a little nervous, but I decided to pay no mind to it.
[The monster nature within your body has awakened.]
The system came out of nowhere after being silent for the whole day, and only to spew bad news! While trying to keep my composure, I could feel myself start to salivate, so I decided to put my head down. Why the heck did this have to happen of all times! After some time had passed, I couldn't hold back my urges, I felt like pouncing on the nearest person and ripping their throat out with my teeth.
I also started to feel my teeth reforming, so I touched my teeth and noticed my canines were growing, and they also grew extremely sharp. That was also my first mistake, as I ended up pricking my finger, letting blood touch my tongue and tooth. I instantly felt my senses heighten as my teeth grew more, I could feel it! My blood tasted odd at first, then it started to taste sweet, then spicy, then metallic, then like lead, then like burning hot iron that had just come out of a furnace, then it tasted cold like snow, and then it tasted sweet again.
[The conditions have been met, 'Beast Transformation' skill has been unlocked.]
'I don't know what exactly had happened, but I'm pretty sure that was only a drop of blood!' I exclaimed in my head while holding my head down. I looked up in anxiousness, hoping that nobody was staring at me. And to my surprise, when I looked up, I saw Angela excitedly admiring her new license. I drew a sigh of relief before covering my mouth as I could feel myself starting to salivate. Also weirdly enough, the guard that escorted me and Angela inside the ten was gone, which surprised me because I didn't even hear him leave.
After as I looked around, I could feel a gaze directed towards me thanks to my now heightened senses. When I turned back around, I could just barely see the desk lady wearing a sadistic expression on her face. Within a split second, her expression reverted back to the aloof expression it was earlier.
"Are you going to get your license?" the desk lady asked me in an emotionless voice.
"I need to go do something, come on let's go, Angela," I said while quickly grabbing my license and speed walking out of the mysterious place. After I left the tent, I ran towards the woods, I could feel this so-called 'nature of the monsters' taking over my consciousness.
"Calm...calm...stay calm and keep a clear mind," I said while sitting under a tree. It had already become night while we're in the tent which confused me. But I had more important things to focus on right now.
"Stay calm...okay...okay, I can do this. I can beat this 'monster nature'!" I said to myself with my sealed shut clothes. I wore a pained expression on my face, but soon after, I suddenly felt at peace and even like I wasn't inside my body anymore. This is what true peace is isn't it. I felt warm and cozy, it was like when you lay under a warm cover in winter or when you drink hot cocoa early in the morning while it's cold. As I reveled in my newfound, it weirdly felt like the 'monster nature' in my body had finally calmed down, so I opened my eyes.
I don't know how everything around me happened, but one thing was 100% guaranteed. This 'monster nature' was extremely dangerous! Every living thing close within my vicinity, monster or not, was dead either by its head being torn off or it's neck being mutilated and bleeding out. After a few seconds, my mouth felt like it was full of cotton candy, but the taste was revolting.
I then noticed that I currently had the head of a razor horn rabbit in my mouth. I pulled the head that I had my teeth sunken into out with both my hands. 'Wait, both my hands?' I could feel two arms and hands on my body, what in the h*ll happened while I reveled in my newfound and now dissolved peace?! I don't think I can tell anyone about this...
