**** (POV)
What is that human doing? More importantly what is a human even doing here? And coming from the inner forest at that.
Guess he is extrely skillful at hiding. or not.
Let's revise that hypothesis.
This human is probably extrely lucky.
No way he could have made it that far otherwise.
He is slowly crawling toward while making a ruckus.
How does one even manages to produce such sounds while crawling is beyond .
The twigs are cracking.
The bushes are rustling.
Critters are reacting to his presence.
There are even rocks getting pushed away sonorously.
There is sothing really wrong here.
Is this so kind of bait? Are there hunters in the area?
Doesn't seem like it.
Peculiar.
Is he perhaps blind? He's coming toward slowlyextrely slowly.
No. He's definitely eyeing . What gives him the confidence?
There are humans that can hunt on this continent.
However, none can contest against the representative directly.
Not here anyway.
She reigns supre in this area.
Any of the bigshots would know better than to throw their lives away.
That ans he is a fool.
A fool that sohow made it this far without getting eaten.
But his story ends here.
He will make for a tasty snack before I proceed to rest so more.
I prepare myself to attack. Building force in my entire body. Getting ready to lunge at him and devour.
He stops, slowly gets up.and rushes at !
What?! What is he doing?
He spent all that ti trying to sneak his way here (badly).
Yet now he's rushing at . Is he braindead perhaps?
Maybe he's affected by a madness curse? Should I still eat him?
Should be fine. I am called the white scaled devourer after all.
Consuming is my specialty. Well, that and body reinforcent.
I wait until he cos into my range.
Wait wait now!
In but an instant it is over.
I swallow him whole.
anwhile, he just stands there cluelessly.
A surprised expression painted on his face.
Indeed he was only a fool.
A fool now in my stomach.

There is soone in my territory.
I sohow know. My instinct warning .
I cannot feel any killing intent. Not an enemy.
Let see. I lazily open my eyes.
Oh? What brings him here.
A friend of mine.
The shadow fox king. One fearso individual.
I am immune to his attacks thanks to my sturdy magic reinforced scales.
However, so is he to my own attacks.
He can disappear into the darkness like well a shadow.
Dealing with him is impossible without access to especially potent elental magic.
Even then good luck actually catching him!
He is the one I respect the most in this forest after the representative.
Even the old tree ancestor is worth less in my opinion.
While this archaic monster has incredible power, I dislike his character.
If it were only up to him, we would remain in this forest until our demise.
Dying worthless natural deaths.
This fox is different. He has boundless knowledge and smarts.
I rember sothing he once told . It shook to my very core.
I rember it word for word:
(I have a dream that one day every valley shall be covered in the endless forest's blessing, every hill and mountain shall turn into our domain, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of our king shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together and tremble!)
He is a drear. But a realist drear. With his darkness magic acting as his eyes he speaks of the outside world. Of plans to conquer it. Sadly out there are many hidden tigers and crouching dragons. While we are extrely strong our representative is not yet at full power
And we need a king to lead us. The representative awaits her fated one. She knows divination magic after all.
Problem is, such things are extrely obscure and confusing even to the masters.
There is no telling how long it will take.
Will we even be alive when the ti cos?
As such my friend ca up with a plan. A daring plan.
He would wait for now.
But when he feels his end coming, he will go out fighting.
Shining like the brightest star there is in his last monts.
I will accompany him. Wage war upon mankind and hopefully co out victorious.
But for now, we await.
I wonder what brings him here today.
"There is news. The representative has chosen a king."
"What?! Seriously?! HAHAHAHAHAHA! I can't wait to et him! How strong is he! What race is he? What ."
()/
"Relax! One thing at a ti. She will convoke everyone for a eting. I am simply telling you first."
"When?! I can't wait to ."
"That's weird, didn't you already et him? I'm pretty sure he went toward your territory this morning."
( ) ? (;)
"No way! I wish! I can't wait till I ." *()*
"Alright haha. Oh right, I should probably tell you that but don't even try to challenge him. There is no winning against him. Only pain and suffering."
"There is no way I would!"
"Of course, I know how long you have been waiting for him to arrive. Oh right, I should probably tell you what he looks like. Here, look at my shadow sculpture skill! One day I shall beco a legendary moonlight sculptor! *proud* But that is another story."
In front of my very eyes, the nearby shadows elongate and slowly amalgamate into a shape. It seems a bit too small for a beast king. And too humanoid looking. Oh, right rank 5 can shapeshift can't they. Makes sense that our king is one Hella strong leader!
Let gaze upon the divine features of our new ...
WHAT THE FUCK.
THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!!!
NOOOOOO!!! *Anguish* (>
