Reincarnated as a World

Chapter 28 Beast King Raiko

Ch.28 Beast King Raiko

Deciding that he was the chosen one, Raiko began to dominate throughout the Forest, subjugating other species and stealing their resources.

{ Monarch’s Note: In a World where every herb and such were already a resource, the more powerful and essence rich herbs were considered the true resources, natives of this World looked at Low Grade herbs like they looked at grass, and truth be told, there wasn’t much difference. }

Raiko’s actions finally caught the attention of the others in the Forest but they mostly took a wait and see approach, but some of them had greed and ambition control their thoughts.

Whilst the concept of stealing and conquering existed, it wasn’t really conquering, all they did was kill the original owners of the land and take the resources there. The thought of subjugation didn’t occur to their primitive minds at all.

The Elves were especially excited about this new concept of subjugation even if they would never admit to the fact that a ‘mere beast’ had come up with the idea first.

They thought of themselves as the natural rulers of the Forest and ideas to completely rule over every inhabitant began. It couldn’t be helped, every other race around them were completely lacking in comparison.

All they did was eat and sleep, they didn’t even have the ability to create proper homes. Even that other ‘counterfeit race’ that looked like them were barely different from the other beasts. On the other hand, the Elves had developed language, culture, arts and crafts, martial arts and more.

As a result, this gave them a sense of superiority and entitlement to the entire Forest.

But just as the idea of domination was brewing and they were beginning to get excited, Titanya put a stop to the idea completely, banning anyone from subjugating other races and threatening those that still harboured such thoughts with death.

Raiko travelled to a location he had found on one of his adventures. It was a barren mountain that towered 15km high but one of the strange things about it was that there was no life here at all, no nature and no animals. It was completely empty of life.

Even more strange was the lightning that repeatedly struck the peak with an interval of 5 - 30 minutes. A strange phenomenon that perplexed the Tiger but he didn’t think too much. It was the lightning that was his goal.

He intended to use it as a means to refine his body. He had already brought numerous essence-rich treasures for a long stay here because he wouldn’t leave until his power upgraded.

And like this, Raiko’s Anatomy Refinement once more took place. The tiger was struck over and over again, only managing to survive because of the resources that he brought. But what didn’t know was that each time he was struck by lightning, the remnant lightning essence would be absorbed into his body along with the herbs that he devoured.

Time was fleeting and eventually 10 months passed. It was at this time when Raiko was contemplating giving up, thinking that his secret strength was a one time upgrade that there was a sudden change.

A familiar burst of energy exploded out all over his body, bringing an exquisite feeling of comfort that felt even better than the last time. The previously whimpering Raiko stretched out and let out a tyrannical roar that seemed to demand that all those that didn’t submit must die!

As his body healed, charred black fur fell off his body with new fur that was even more golden and silkier than before replaced the old. His claws and fangs became sharper and more menacing and even his previously green eyes changed, gaining a hint of gold and a king’s dignity.

The Tiger grew another metre and gained denser muscles that made him look like a fledgling behemoth. The final change on the Tiger was the ‘KING’ character on his forehead becoming more pronounced, no longer looking like accidental markings.

Looking at the now twitching Tiger that was undergoing the impurity cleansing part of the breakthrough. One couldn’t help but anticipate his future.
