《Reborn as a Lion》


 Chapter 1: Second chance!!

    Mark is an Adult who grows sick of his life as a human being; his parents were always blaming him for their life problems


    " If you weren''t born we wouldn''t be living like this",


    His friends are just a bunch of heartless and ignorant kids " man, who cars about your problems, let us go pick up some girls ",


    His company''s boss is taking advantage of him to the max " Remember, if you don''t do what I tell you, I will fire you and make sure youwon''t find another job, so be careful ",


    Even the women he loved and because of her he was able to continue until now left him alone...she only left him with a note...not even face to face...she said in the note " I know that you are having a hard time in life but I can''t risk my life just for you, I hope you find happiness soon"


    Mark lost hop in everything, so...he decided to end his life instead of just keeping going in this madness.


    ....


    In a place that is all white, the sky, earth, everything is white, a single person could be seen standing with an absentminded face, this man is Mark...after sometime Mark''s eyes began to recover their light, his former black eyes are now shining with life as his body started to move too, " Hm?? where is this?? is this the afterlife??" Mark was very calm for a person who just died...well anyone who took their own life isn''t people who will be shocked after the hell they have gone through their life...Mark known he was dead, he was standing there as if waiting for someone.


    Time passed by, and finally, a Sharp beam of light was shot from the white sky to the ground shocking Mark to his core by the sudden event. after that a man who was wearing a white rope walked from the pillar of light to where Mark is and said " Hello there, you must have been waiting for long", Mark couldn''t speak even if he wanted to, it was like he was not allowed to, the man continued " I am here to tell you some news, one is good and the other is bad " the man said with a smile " after studying your life book, we found that you deserve a second chance in life"


    Hearing this Mark was happy that maybe he will have a better life but the next words of the man destroyed his fantasy " that was the good news, you have been forgiven for not following your god religion judging by that in your life you didn''t have time for anything" Mark was happy that he is forgiven for that as he heard in his life that people who don''t follow the religion will go to hell and Mark doesn''t want more pain


    The man faced Mark with his smile and closed eyes and said " but we also found that in your life you had many chances to change your life but you gave up to the pain and pressure too easily, and by that, we judged that when you reincarnate you will not be a human but an animal"


    Hearing this Mark''s heart was beating like drums, his heart was hitting his Bones from how hard he was beating, he wanted to talk but couldn''t, he was still not permitted to talk


    the man continued " with that being said, Mark Ormani, do you have anything to say"


    It was as if a chain that was locking him had broke Mark finally could feel free " AH!! A-Are you perhaps God??"


    the man looked at Mark with a strange expression and said " No, you think God will bring himself down in human form and talk to you! human, I am only a messenger...one more thing, this thing that is called reincarnation is only for the people who committed suicide, normally once you are dead you will have to wait for the judgment day in your grave...and by the way, you will not be reincarnated in this world since the last day for it has come. you will be sent to another world"


    Mark was scared to his Bones hearing that his world was ending, but he didn''t care anymore since he not part of it anymore " Mr.messenger...can you give me some details about my new life" Mark wanted to ask to be reborn as human but he felt like he will regret it if he asked


    " Very well, you be born as a lion in a world that was just created 9,968,760 years ago. this world has many races living in it like Humans, Elves, Dwarfs, Demons, Animals, and monsters...etc. this world is bigger than your world by 7 times, anything else??"


    After the man explained to Mark about the new world, he was so shocked that he couldn''t speak until the man faked cough at him hinting for him to speak " ah! I understand now...b-but can I have a request??"


    the man was about to refuse but a ball of gold light descend in front of him from the white sky, the man was shocked as he knows that god accepted this man''s request, the man had his eyes filled with admiration and said " be happy human, your request was fulfilled "


    "B-but I didn''t tell you my request yet!!" Mark was shocked ''how can my request be fulfilled and haven''t said it?!? ''


    " God knows what you want, he doesn''t need you to tell him what you want, he knows what you better than you...he was the one who created you...you were about to ask for a system to help you in your life and to keep your memories saved, well, goodbye, one last thing, you,as an animal your deeds will not be counted...Go now" as the man said his final words he pushed the golden ball toward Mark


    He was covered by the golden light, he felt relaxed peaceful and sleepy. after a moment mark disappeared from his place leaving only the man alone.


    After Mark left, the man looked at the horizon where could see a sea of people walking toward this place and said " you have been graced to not witness this, hope you live a good life, stay away from the corruption and you will prevail "


    .


    .


    .


    Mark was unconscious and sleeping in a dark place,with some time he could feel himself growing as if his body is being created.


    {Attaching to the host in 3.2.1... attachment is successful... the Life System is successfully attached to the host}


    Hearing that in his head Mark know that he certainly wasn''t dreaming and he said " system!!" he called for the system


    {Yes host}


    " Can you tell me about your self, I only requested for a system but never did I specify anything about it"


    {Yes, my main object is to help host in managing his life, I have 4 main sections, "Map" which can be unlocked once you obtain control over some land. " Clan" this will help you manage your Clan members by adding them or throwing them out, it also shows the feelings of the clan members towards you. "defining" this will give a definition of the things that are new to you. and lastly " Status " which shows you States and abilities you have.}


    "Thank you...can I name you??" Mark asked


    {Yes}


    "From now on your name will be ¡ãLucy¡ã, and call me Mark please instead of the host."


    { Saving the system name as Lucy 30¨G ...90¨G...100¨G...Done. Error... host can''t be called by Mark as that his former name, the host will need to name himself when reaching adulthood.}


    "Oooh!! I see..." Mark started to get tired after his short conversation with Lucy as he felt his consciousness fading


    ".. I...I feel sleepy, what going on???"


    {Host relax, you will be sleeping until you are born, Rest well host.}


    Mark fell asleep with the last words of Lucy in his mind.

    [After 109 Days]


    The time has finally come and Mark was born into this new world of [Averath].

 Chapter 2: waking up

    Inside the long gold bushes, a full grown giant lioness who have sand colored body with some strange black marks like a tattoo was giving birth to her cubs, she struggled for some time to give life to 4 little cute cubs, 2 males, one with an albino fur and the other with black fur and 2 females just like their mother with golden fur, after giving birth to the four little cats she turned to them and started to lick their bodies to clean them, the little cubs were laying on the ground with their eyes closed, if anyone saw them now will think they''re the children of this Lioness


    While she is cleaning, a large shadow started to cover her and her cubs. the shadow was her husband and the father of her children *Zoma* he was a large lion over 4 meters in height with Black color fur, his eyes are red like lava, his large manes was a mix between brown and black " Good job Maro, now finish cleaning them, we need to go back to the clan." said Zoma with a commanding tone


    (A.N: Yes they can talk, it''s a fantasy novel)


    "I knew that but can''t you at least look at your children?" said Maro with an angry tone


    "I will do when we are safe," Zoma said without looking at his cubs " I will be Guarding you, for now, get some rest "


    After finishing their conversation, the little albino cub started to move his body, he raised his head with difficulty and looked around, sadly his eyes are closed and he can''t see


    ''Hm? where is this?'' Mark woke up from the conversation of Zoma and Maro


    {Congratulations host for successfully being reborn }


    '' Hm?? host??...aaah I was Reborn!... Thank you Lucy'' mark took some time to remember what happened since he was sleeping for more than 100 days '' tell me, Lucy, where am I now?''


    {Host now is in the continent of Havanna, you were born just a few Minutes ago, right now you and your parents and siblings are away from your father''s Domain and Clan, you are endangered to attacks from other packs of predators}


    ''Eh? why are we away from the clan'' mark was surprised hearing that his life is in danger after just being Reborn


    {Don''t worry host, You are under your father''s protection for now, your father is one of the Four Kings in the Havanna continent}


    ''phew~'' hearing Lucy''s explanation Mark was relieved knowing he is safe '' by the way, what do you mean one of four kings??''


    If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.{First of all, the Havanna Continent is a large piece of land and it''s divided into four domains, each one has a king.}


    {in the past there were too many domains with their Kings, but the Lions started to invade other Lions Domains Resulting in Fights between the Kings, the fallen Kings became servants of the winner and expanding their Domain Range, this went on for many years until this day where only four domains remain with four lion kings }


    '' Woaaa!!! that is so cool, you said my father is kings then I am a Prince right?!? '' mark was so amazed by the history here and he was imagining himself like Prince walking through animals who lowered themselves for him.


    {The prince is chosen after a fight between the younger generation, blood doesn''t give you status, only your power can.}


    '' Such a shame, it would''ve been cool''


    { Don''t be disappointed, with your father''s blood in you, you have a great chance of being the prince,}


    Hearing this mark''s mood was lifted up


    {this is enough for now. you will understand everything as you grow~ Rest for now, you have a long tribe tomorrow}


    Doing what Lucy told him Mark went back to sleeping beside his siblings between their parents, soon night descended and it became cold, luckily the little cubs were squashed between their parents warm golden and black fur, or they wouldn''t make it past the cold night.


    Howls and screams started to fill the night, it made mark fear the night as he isn''t used to this if it wasn''t for the peaceful feeling that his mother is providing him with and his father''s serious look when he is guarding them, he would go crazy


    .


    .


    .


    [Morning]


    once the morning descended Zoma and Maro picked up their children, one in their mouths and one on their backs.


    After that, they started walking towards the East, where Mark''s father main clan is located.


    "Let''s go Maro, I can smell the Stench of those hyenas... HUMPH, they never learn their lesson, how many times do I have to kill their clan members so they can understand" Zoma said with the pride of a king in his voice


    "Is that dump Queen think that Numbers matter when facing us, HUMPH!!" Maro too has pride as a Queen of Lions of the East, she can''t show weakness even if she is tired. both of them walked away carrying their children with them? their silhouettes started to fade in the golden fields of the Havanna continent


    .


    .


    .


    After a long time of Zoma and Maro left a bunch of Hyenas appeared in their spot? The strange thing about those Hyenas is their size, they''re between 2-3 meters tall, big muscles and long claws " *Sniff* *sniff* ... looks like a lion was here" said one of them as he raised his head from the ground


    From behind the other Hyenas appeared a big black one with the Spots on her fur turning red unlike the other black ones, she said with a powerful tone " who is he?? do you recognize him?? " said the black Hyena.


    "yes my Queen, it''s Zoma, King of the East," said the lesser Hyena, he was the most experienced one of the bunch


    A flash of light passed in the red eyes of the Queen as she said " This our chance, from the smell, he looks like he is alone, we need to take our chance"


    Hearing this The other Hyenas were shocked and said " My Queen please reconsider. this A King we are facing "


    "yes, your Highness, The four kings can''t be fooled wit-GAH...GAAAHGHA!!!" Before the second Hyena could finish his talk his neck was crushed by one bite of the Queen strong Mouth " I said let''s take our chance, no objections, let''s go" said the Queen after killing her Minion.


    after planting fear in her minions the pack of 20 hyenas started to follow the smell of Zoma with his wife and children.
