I Was The Only Omega In The Beast World Chapter 53: CP:53 Ready For Demonstration

She unrolled the scroll, revealing careful writing in a language Alex couldn’t read but Moss translated aloud:

"First: Demonstrate creation of useful items. You’ve done the Everlight Stone—do sothing different but equally practical.

Second: Show healing capabilities. If your spirit guide can cure, prove it on sothing real.

Third: If possible, give a small preview of the Essence itself. Not the full showcase, but enough to show it exists."

System hover near Alex and pulled up its system panel.

[Let’s see what we can work with...]

[Useful Items Under 50 SP:

Purification Tablet (20 SP): Purifies contaminated water instantly

Fire Starter Stone (15 SP): Creates fla without fuel, lasts 100 uses

Healing Salve - Enhanced (30 SP): Better than what Moss makes, works on old wounds

Healing Demonstrations:

Minor Healing Potion (25 SP): Fixes cuts, bruises, minor infections

Bone nd Paste (40 SP): Accelerates bone healing, very impressive

Essence Preview:

You can pull up the shop listing and show its description/effects

Can’t purchase until you hit 800 SP, but you can SHOW it exists]

[This might be the most convincing proof]

[Recomndation: Do Fire Starter Stone (cheap, impressive), Minor Healing Potion (undeniable proof), and show the Essence listing. Total cost: 40 SP, leaving you at 708 SP. One more day of quests gets you to 800 easy.]

"I can do all three," Alex said. "The first two will cost so points but not much. The third doesn’t cost anything—I just show them the Essence exists in the shop, even if I can’t buy it yet."

Moss nodded slowly. "That should satisfy even the most skeptical elders. If you can create fire from nothing, heal real injuries, and prove the Essence is real..." She paused. "They’ll believe. They’ll advocate for Lucas to make the trade."

"When?" Leo asked. "When does this demonstration happen?"

"Tomorrow morning. At the heart-lodge. All the elders will attend—probably half the pack too, word has spread." Moss’s ancient eyes held steady.

"This is your mont, young one. Your chance to prove everything you’ve claid. If you succeed, Lucas will give you the Silver Fang and you can leave with honor. If you fail..."

"We leave anyway," Naga said firmly.

"Success or failure, we’re not staying past two days. We’ve pushed our luck far enough."

"Understood." Moss began packing her supplies. "Rest tonight. All of you. Tomorrow will be... intense." She paused at the door, looking back. "For what it’s worth, I believe you. I’ve seen what you can do. Tomorrow, make sure everyone else sees it too."

Then she was gone, leaving them with the weight of tomorrow’s performance hanging heavy in the evening air.

"You’ve done harder things," Leo reminded him after seeing Alex’s ’ I’m thinking seriously in my head ’ look.

"You talked your way past a dragon god. You can impress so old wolves."

"The dragon wasn’t judging whether I could save his entire species," Alex pointed out.

"True. But you still have us." Naga’s coils tightened comfortingly. "Tomorrow, we’ll be right there with you. If anyone has questions, if anyone doubts, we’ll back you up."

"We’re a team," Leo agreed. "And teams don’t let their mbers face impossible things alone."

[ Aww. They’re right, you know. You’ve got this, Host.]

[Current Status:

SP: 748

Needed: 52 more

Tomorrow’s Demonstration: 100 SP potential

Cost of demos: 40 SP

Net gain: 60 SP, putting you at 808 SP total

ENOUGH TO BUY THE ESSENCE!

One more day. One more performance. Then you get the stone and you leave.]

[ Or... I don’t mind if you take that wolf lord as your husband no.3. (◕◡↼)✲ ]

"Shut up. We’re not doing that.," Alex whispered to the system.

" What did the spirit system said? " Naga asked.

" Nothing."

Alex said louder. "Okay. Back to the topic, Tomorrow morning. I impress the elders. We get the stone. We leave this place and never co back."

"Deal," they said in unison.

As night fell over wolf territory, three bodies curled together in the expanded nest—one pregnant human, one serpent lord, one exiled lion—and tried to rest before the most important demonstration of their lives.

Outside, the pack buzzed with anticipation.

And in his den, Lucas sat with the Silver Fang cradled in his hands, silver-white fur gleaming in firelight, and wondered if tomorrow would bring salvation or just another disappointnt in a long line of failures.

The ancestors watched from their carved faces, eternal and unreadable.

And the moon rose high over the northern forests, indifferent to the hopes and fears of the creatures below.

******

They woke to gray dawn and the sound of the entire pack gathering outside.

Not threatening sounds—just... present. Hundreds of paws on frozen ground, low conversations, the rustle of bodies settling into position around the heart-lodge clearing.

"They’re all here," Leo said from the window, his ears tracking every sound. "The whole pack. Maybe more—I sll wolves I don’t recognize. Other territories?"

"Word must have spread," Naga said grimly.

"If this works, it won’t just affect the Northern Pack. Every wolf territory in the region will want to know about it."

"Great," Alex muttered, pressing a hand to his stomach where the babies were already awake and tumbling. "So instead of impressing one pack, I need to impress... how many wolves exactly?"

"Three to four hundred? Maybe more?" Leo’s tail lashed.

"No big deal. Not at all."

[ MAJOR QUEST ALERT!]

ENOUGH TO PURCHASE THE ESSENCE!]

[You’ve got this! Probably! Maybe! ...Good luck! I’ll bring popcorn and drinks just to watch the drama unfold. ]

" You. " Alex wanted to scold system but eventually gave up.

Copper arrived with breakfast—more food than ever, if that was possible, plus three cups of Moss’s herbal tea that slled like confidence and calm.

"Everyone’s waiting," he said nervously.

"Lord Lucas said whenever you’re ready. No rush. Well, maybe so rush because there’s a LOT of wolves out there and so of them traveled all night to get here and they’re getting kind of restless but he said no pressure so no pressure! Except maybe so pressure? I’ll—I’ll just leave the food here. Good luck!"

He vanished before anyone could respond.

They ate quickly, Alex forcing down more than he thought he could manage because Naga insisted and because the babies were demanding fuel for their morning acrobatics routine.

Then it was ti.

Storm appeared at the door—respectful knock, careful distance.

"Lord Lucas requests your presence when you’re ready. The elders are assembled. The pack is waiting."

His gray eyes t Alex’s directly. "No one will harm you. You have my word as second. Whatever happens today, you’re under full pack protection."

"Thank you," Alex said, genuinely aning it.

They stepped outside together—Alex in the center, Naga and Leo flanking him protectively, Storm leading the way through paths that had been carefully cleared.

The heart-lodge clearing had been transford.

Wolves packed every available space—sitting, standing, so in beast form, others humanoid, all of them focused on the small group approaching.

The elder council sat in a semicircle near the carved entrance, ancient faces solemn and assessing. Lucas stood front and center, his pale blue eyes finding Alex’s imdiately.

And behind them all, rising like a judgnt, the heart-lodge itself with its carved ancestors watching from the massive trunk.

This was it.

The mont everything either proved true or collapsed into dust.

Alex took a breath—deep, steadying, drawing on every bit of courage he’d accumulated over six impossible weeks.

Then he walked forward to face three hundred wolves or maybe more and prove that miracles were real.
