Reincarnated As A Lion In Another World

Kael learned on his own how to manipulate the content of contracts rather than leaving the Primordial Laws to do it for him.

Previously, he just didn’t know what type of lionheart to put. Luckily, after Katari, none of the new members awakened the same lionheart types. If not, Kael wouldn’t know what to do.

To prevent any mistakes from happening, Kael decided to be very specific in his contracts. As long as he knew what he was doing, he wouldn’t have to fear having the same lionheart type in his pride.

’OCD?’ Kael wondered to himself.

Now all that remained was for the three lionesses to accept the contract. The contract was pretty much the same as the others, the only change was the nature of the reward.

Nalii was the first to accept her contact. The voice that appeared in Kael’s head was mature, motherly, and feminine. It sounded like someone who was always serious-minded.

The next was Priya who was urged by her daughter, Zabita, who stood beside her. Her mind voice was soft to hear.

Diane followed. The only person she was remotely related to in this group was Nalii who she shared the same mother with. Seeing her sister accepting the contract and the expectant gaze coming from her nephew, she also accepted it.

The voice Kael heard was filled with eagerness and excitement. Kael was really curious about what went on in the mind of this brute lioness.

After accepting the contracts, their body began to undergo painful physical changes.

Bones dislocated and fixed themselves, muscles flexed uncontrollably. Their fur began to fall off as new ones with different colors grew in their place.

The three lionesses writhed in pain while the others just looked at them. The other lionesses had all experienced this pain so they knew how it felt, they also knew it wouldn’t last and once they were done, the three would stand up as new and improved lionesses.

Meanwhile, Kael turned away from them for now to look behind him. He saw the pride leader head to a weak and elderly-looking lioness, Big Aunt.

He lay down beside her, under the affectionate watch of the other lionesses. The cubs and a few young adults loitered around them while Pavel and Uncle went out for patrol.

’Nothing changes…’ He mused, he was somehow happy for the pride leader. His position was backed by strength and he deserved it.

Big Aunt stared at Kael’s distant figure and the lionesses around him. If he was closer, he would have noticed the trace of envy within her eyes that appeared and disappeared instantly, like it had been beaten down the moment it reared its head.

The pride leader didn’t notice, he lay down beside her with bliss in his heart, satisfied that everything was back to the way it was.

Kael could go back right now and refuse to leave, it crossed his mind. The pride leader wouldn’t be able to kill him, he didn’t have the ability to.

’But how will I grow?’ He asked himself. Doing so would just rile the pride leader up and there would never be a day of peace at all.

’Should I come back in the future?’ Kael was eager to see what would become of the Hot Lion pride in the future. He hoped to see it once again at some point.

’I have to achieve some things first, good thing I have Noel and the others to guide me,’ He referred to the Primordial lions.

Turning back to his own group of lionesses, he could see that their transformation was completed.

Nalii slowly stood up with newfound strength greater than she had ever had even in her well-rested state.

Her fur had turned a healthy dark green and the patch of fur at the end of her tail was of a darker shade.

Two bumps had appeared on her head at some point, it looked like she was in the process of growing horns. Kael felt weird about this.

Wasn’t it known that most herbivores developed horns so that they could defend themselves from carnivorous predators? Carnivores usually didn’t need horns because they weren’t defending themselves most times, rather they were the ones attacking.

Seeing horn bumps on his mother’s head, he could almost tell where her transformation was leading to, but he still left room for doubt. The Veggie lionheart, he would accept it either way.

’No wonder Noel said that their ways may be misunderstood by most lions,’

Priya didn’t have as much of a striking transformation as Nalii did. The most noticeable thing was how she shrank.

Yes, when other lions were getting slightly bigger, she actually shrank by one or two inches. She became slimmer and a bit sickly looking, Kael didn’t doubt the strength she could summon with her limbs though. It was safe to say she was very much stronger than any average lioness.

Priya’s eyes also seemed to have enlarged and exposed the incredible level of intelligence she now possessed. Her fur didn’t change though, it remained the same way it was.

Diane’s transformation was quite…something. Her limbs looked like they were about to explode from the sheer size of her muscles.

She now towered over Kael by half a head. Kael knew that if she activated her main ability, she would grow way bigger than this. This was just how Berserker Lions were.

Now that their transformations were complete, Kael led them to the river. The best type of den would be one that wasn’t too far away from a stable water source.

Not only would there not be a scarcity of food, but dry seasons would be more bearable.

Despite it being nighttime, the group didn’t feel discouraged to start this journey. Olivia was the most excited although Kael was sure that she would be the first to tire out with that chubby body of hers.

Kael stayed in front, followed by Katari, and then the rest. Kael realized that Katari was to him what Big Aunt was to the pride leader, a trustworthy right hand.

Now that thoughts of the future barraged his thoughts, he began to think of a name for their pride.

When the time comes that talking would be natural for him, he would have to introduce his pride to other creatures of the world.

’How about Ol-mytee Pride,’ Kael thought. This was a word play for ’Almighty’ as they sounded similar. He didn’t want to give it a simple name that anyone on the other side of the world could think of.

As far as he was concerned, he was the only one in this world that knew how to speak english.

’Ol-mytee it is then,’ As soon as Kael decided, the golden tattoos on his and the lioness’s forehead appeared again.

The tattoos appeared different, there was now a weird character on the crowns in black color. Kael didn’t notice this for now since he was at the front, he could not have noticed.

A few hours later, in the cold of the night, the Ol-mytee Pride arrived at the river. It was really cold here and the only creatures he could see were a few gazelles that wanted to take a drink and the hippos.

Kael was not really hungry for now so he didn’t direct Katari to begin a hunting session. Now he was the pride leader of his own pride, Kael didn’t need to hunt personally.

Katari would just hunt and he would eat from their labor. As long as it was not a fatal threat or an animal that couldn’t be brought down easily, he would probably remain inactive most times.

Kael observed the river, it flowed from the right to the left. After careful thinking, he led them to go towards the right, against the river current.

It was best if he walked toward the source of the water rather than to its possible endpoint.

The riverside was also not the best place to rest, so they had to also be mindful of a resting point when they met one.
