Reincarnated As A Lion In Another World

All the creatures in the forest looked to the sky to see where the sound was coming from, the sound of breaking glass.

The deers, the rabbits, the birds, the wolves, and many more creatures of the forest stared in shock at the sky.

Duller looked to the sky, hiding the hatred in his heart. Burdo and his water lionesses had also come out of the water to look at the sky.

Even from this place, they had heard all the booming sounds from Kael and Darius’s fight.

They saw the white pulsing cracks that spread from the horizon, it looked like the sky was falling apart.

And then far in the distance, at the center of these white cracks was a portal that was slowly expanding. The edges of this portal looked fragmented and the insides of the portal couldn’t be seen clearly.

The observers with keen eyes could make out the figure of something larger hidden behind that portal and the reason that thing had not yet descended from the portal was that the portal wasn’t big enough.

This was happening, as shocking as it was, and everyone knew it. Most animals were panicking, running in different directions as their survival instincts didn’t tell them what to do in this scenario.

Beyond the forest, the animals of the plains looked to the sky in awe. The white cracks also extended to this part of the world, although the cracks were fainter and didn’t pulse.

The crocodiles and hippos surfaced from the river to look to the skies, the elephants raised their trunks and stomped their feet in annoyance.

Little meerkats and rats poked their heads out of their little burrows, observing their environment. After noticing that there was no immediate danger, they went back into their burrows.

By the river, there was a strange scene occurring. Multiple lions and lionesses walked by the river, heading in the same direction.

The lions and lionesses weren’t spaced out by kilometers but by mere meters. They walked in groups, with two out of every ten being a male lion and the rest females.

The groups were the lion prides, and there were close to fifty of these lions walking by the river. A few of them had already evolved and advanced to tier 2.

These tier 2 lions and lionesses were only five in number but they led from the front, serving as a strong front for all the lions even though they were divided into multiple prides.

On a normal day, it would be very hard if not impossible for so many of these lions to come together without tearing themselves apart.

If not for the mission that asked them to follow the river to the forest, they would probably never do something like this and leave their territories.

After all, 100 points as a reward wasn’t small. The amount of meat they could exchange it for was not extraordinary but it was much.

Some of them had a taste of deer meat and decided that it was their favorite meat, some preferred moose. Either way, they could only find those meat on the exchange tabs and they needed points before they could exchange them for anything.

But the only way they knew to earn points before was by referring and adding other lions to The Lion System, and the rewards were meager.

Now that there was another mission with a higher reward, they would take it. It wasn’t like they hadn’t traveled around a lot before, they could always return back to their territory once they were done with the current mission.

But they didn’t abandon the referral mission though. In fact, the lions were actively sniffing around for the signs of any lion pride, seeking to convert them and bring them into the lion system.

It had turned into something of a competition. The lions easily got aggressive when they found another lion and they would fight each other to be the one to add the rogue lions to the system.

This of course caused quite a comical scene.

The sight of all of them walking beside her river scared a lot of creatures. Even the hippos and the crocodiles dared not go too close. A herd of herbivores was one thing, a herd of carnivores was just something else.

And because the lions had to eat, they had to hunt along the way…a lot. Many animals met their demise under the relentless pursuit of more than forty lionesses.

Even the crocodiles and elephants were not safe. It didn’t matter if they ran away at the sight of the lions, the strategy the lions employed was very human.

A set group of lionesses would chase after the prey, pursuing them until they were tired. Then another set of lionesses who had been strolling behind and preserving their energy would continue the pursuit once they got close enough.

Simply relentless. And because there were so many lionesses, their scale of attacks was vast, able to easily corner and surround multiple prey at once.

When the loud cracking sounds and the white cracks appeared in the sky, they looked up, acknowledging that the white cracks were denser toward the horizon they journeyed to.

There was something about the cracks that got their blood boiling and caused them to subconsciously release deep growls.

#####

On the opposite side of all this, far away from the mountain and beyond the edge of the savage lands. The white cracks extended here, hanging above the sea with their faint ominous light.

The waters churned and bubbled as whirlpools formed in different areas of the ocean.

Many large monsters began to surface, their colossal eyes staring curiously at the cracks in the sky.

There were mega sharks, aquatic horses, swordfishes, whales, seals, crabs, turtles, jellyfish, aquatic snakes, and many more.

Every slight movement from them caused the waters to glow and rise, forming small waves.

Farther into the sea, there was a section that wasn’t as crowded as the other places. There were very few creatures here and all of them were giant squids.

Their greyish-white bodies sometimes flashed with different colors and their tentacles swirled in the air, flexing their powerful suckers.

Each squid was at least two meters long then added to their tentacles, they were at least nine meters long. In terms of size and beauty, they were very impressive.

"What in the deep is this rubbish?" The telepathic voice of one of the squids reached the minds of those present. The squid was referring to the racks in the sky.

"I don’t know sir, it seems to be a portal of some sort…" One of the squids responded, his voice sounding nervous.

When he spoke, his eyes were looking at the biggest squid in their midst. This squid was very big, bigger than the rest. He was around fourteen meters long stretching from body to tentacle tip.

The water around this squid brimmed with power. The water around him had a toxic greenish color that mixed strangely with the blue glow.

"I know what it is you idiot. Just when we were on a mission, this shit shows up. Do you think those smart bastards planned this?" The extra large squid asked.

The squids looked at each other before one of them swam forward to answer, "Respectfully speaking sir, I don’t think the octopuses are smart enough to achieve something like this. Even for them, this is beyond their level just for a distraction.

I think this is something else, sir."

There was silence, the white cracks in the sky continued to pulse faintly.

Suddenly, the extra large squid lashed out with one of his long tentacles and his body turned green. Despite the distance between the two, the tentacle extended and closed in fast on the shocked subordinate squid.

His biological jet propellers flared as he tried to swim away but the tentacle still managed to touch him.

"Aaah…" The subordinate squid shook erratically as poison entered his system and began shutting down all his motor abilities.

"That is for implying that I am an idiot. Only spies of the Octopuses do that, therefore, you are a spy. You deserve death." The squid leader proclaimed while comically folding two of his tentacles. All he needed to kill someone didn’t like was a stupid reason like this.

The squid who had been hit convulsed in the water as his body began to sink. Ink spilled from his ink sack but it was already too late for that. If only he had kept his mouth shut.

"Anyways, ignore the fool," The squid leaer began addressing the remaining squids who all looked at him with fear, "We have to make it to that mysterious beach to drop you scouts by dark.

I’m too eager to rip some octopuses to shreds, I want to be done with this mission…" The squid leader talked as he swung his tentacles and dived into the sea.

The other squids followed after him. Their jet propellers flared to life as their bodies shot through the water at incredible speeds, like a water missile.

The squid who had been poisoned by his leader remained, floating just below the surface of the waters, dead.
