Even in my previous life I was not one to claim as being a genius, very logical yes but Manohar , Vastor, BabaYaga even Lith level .
No at best I was as intelligent as the great mage Red .
Rune magic and in extension arrays. Forgemastering and all the technical stuff , none of it is my strength , this you had to see to learn other than read about it.
But I stand not dismayed on a nice beach spot, I had come to live by the sea side .
Easterly in the direction I assumed would eventually lead to the Jierra Continent .
I wouldn't be able to forgemaster an impenetrable armory or weapons, worse of I am not planning to look for an apprenticeship because I would have too much to answer to .
I would lack heavily on such stuff but what I had was what most to nearly all lacked .
I have the obvious Violet core secret and the white core secret.
Although I have faced zero tribulations I have no zeal or want for Guardianhood . At the end of the day they were tied to Mogar's will and by then there's no point of return other than death , i absolutely agreed to BabaYaga's notion of guardians being somewhat slaves but I suppose praise the Great 🇬🇧 Mother either ways .
What I have is an abomination side . What I have is the secret to creation magic . I have the secret to tower mages .
I have two cores , 3 life forces . What more did I need . This is enough .
.....................…..
It had clicked , why did hybrids reach a stage where they had to choose a life force and lose the other . It hampered growth and using a single life force far longer than the other caused an imbalance that would ruin every werefolk as well.
But I had three and losing one would still leave me with two that would work hand in hand .
Everything fell into place . A mage tower , what made a mage tower give such a boost was that it acted as the users second mana core but mana cores did not function without life force .
There could be ways to upgrade pseudocores to nearly behave as mana cores but never a true mana core as the cannot be created , I am not sure how they went about allowing the tower's core to breathe or take in world energy.
But I have plenty cores and life forces but ofcourse with power a sacrifice has to be made .
Not sure how I felt about losing my human life force but it was either it or the fylgjas and I would rather remain an emperor beast of a now near extinct magical beast with good abilities than a human really , plus I'd already had my share of humanity but I suppose my abomination side is my former humanity . I have no quarrels.
Now at the deep blues core stage I could feel the urge to already pick either beast or human side though slightly. The abomination side seemed not included in this equation.
Plan is simple , choose the beast side , lose the humanity side then leaving the beast and abomination side which till now has been deathly quiet .
From there to ensure I didn't lose myself or absorb excess world energy , I would stop using accumulation and halt on breathing techniques and have the abomination side not only feed world energy to itself but to both my cores . Hopefully that should be enough for my beast side to balance everything out and not become a full blown abomination.
Night had fallen , but it had never dampened my sight or senses .
I made my way to the cozy cave I'd now furnished crudely with a makeshift bed with a rock base , had a blanket I'd stolen and supplies from the nearest small settlements around the coastlines.
...........................…
'I choose to remain a beast , a Fylgja , the many tailed , the foxes with colored eyes , the wolf packs that can double in number .'
It felt like an anthem to myself at this point as I tried not to cringe.
My body contorted instantly taking a four legged stance , covered in back and red thick fur , I grew to a height if 208 cm from my front paws to the top of my head , and a length of 322 cm[10 ft 7] from snout to back , excluding the tails which were 170 cm on their own .
[cm -> centimeters]
As expected, my abomination side quickly tried to corrupt the beast side .
The red furs I had turned black , now uniform all over . But the shades still got darker , I was approaching a vanta black shade , it looked uniquely disturbing.
As the abomination side sucked the world energy , my two cores kickstarted , both absorbing and processing the world energy .
I felt power , but I had to acclimate it .
I activated body fusion hoping that would draw mana from my cores as the abomination side lost majority of the world energy to the cores . The beast life form at then faced it ,pin Ning the abomination and succeeding as it did and I felt a balance I had never felt . It felt orgasmic .
Like yin and Yang balance was achieved . I had now lost my humanity but I felt no much loss for it . What I had was unique . Probably unattainable, what are the chances someone transmigrating in a were folk specifically .
The only transmigraters/reincarnated we'll only see are Lith and I assume the hidden other to be the Lich inxialot Nagaar . Who is probably alive , he should be about the same age as Sinmara and Surtr and at this point are just a few centuries old since they were about 500 years older than the Griffons kingdom which would probably declare It's sovereignty in the next few years .
