…
Based on what she was seeing now, if his Talent was ‘King of the Jungle’ and his Gift was ‘The Animal Kingdom Codex’, then his Ability — ‘Shifter’ — was already self-explanatory.
That meant he could transform into any animal he wanted, as long as it was registered in his Animal Kingdom Codex. But how exactly did an animal get registered? Did he just need to know what it looked like to transform into it?
If that was the case, Kisha realized, then his awakened ability had to be one of the most remarkable and irregular abilities she had seen in her life. His strength couldn’t be measured like that of a regular awakened ability users, and his potential to surpass others was enormous.
Suddenly, a thought hit her: ‘Could he transform into dinosaurs or even dragons? After all, they’re almost like animals, aren’t they?’
She felt a thrill at her own speculation as she watched Rakan in his massive tiger form, amusing himself by staring at his own fluffy tail. Or… had he really just turned into a fool?
Both Duke and Kisha stared at Rakan in amusement. Kisha was suddenly wide awake, leaping out of Duke’s embrace. Only then did Duke remember that his legs had gone numb, and when Kisha moved, a tremor ran through him.
He gritted his teeth, feeling as if thousands of ants were gnawing at his legs, and he almost peed himself. Shooting Kisha a pitiful, resentful glare, but Kisha was too excited to even notice his glare at the back of her head, and Rakan, startled by her sudden movement, jumped back.
The fur along his back bristled like a frightened big cat, and although he tried to hiss at her, all that came out was a low, rumbling growl.
“Grrr…” Rakan growled, but the moment he realized the “sneak attack” had come from Kisha, his fluffy ears instantly drooped. He looked suddenly meek, settling onto his hind legs with his tail coiled neatly beneath him, as if awaiting Kisha’s command like a warrior.
Seeing this, Kisha was even more amused. Just because Rakan had shifted into a tiger didn’t mean his consciousness had become that of an animal too; he still seemed to have full control over his body.
‘That was incredible.’
With his massive paws, he could be a formidable damage dealer, or even a tank, on the front lines, easily tearing through countless zombies and clearing a path for anyone.
“Rakan, can you understand what I’m saying?” Kisha asked, eager to confirm her speculation.
“Grr…” Rakan let out a low growl, as if to show his agreement. But realizing Kisha couldn’t understand his sounds, he simply nodded, sitting up straight with his chin held high.
No one seemed to remember Duke, who was slumped in his chair, massaging his numb legs.
Even his little resentful glare toward Kisha went unnoticed, so he only pouted briefly, watching his wife’s excitement over Rakan’s transformation. Resigned, he focused on working out the numbness in his own legs before daring to get closer to Rakan.
Seeing Rakan nod his massive tiger head, Kisha was over the moon. She took in his massive transformed body from head to toe, and to be absolutely sure, she moved closer. Noticing her approach, Rakan stayed perfectly still, but the tip of his fluffy tail wagged slightly, betraying his own happiness.
Kisha wanted to confirm that what she was seeing wasn’t some illusion-type awakened ability, like Keith’s. Stepping closer, she ran her hand over Rakan’s tiger form, letting her fingers sink into his glossy, soft fur.
The vivid sensation made her heart race even faster. It was proof that his awakened ability was genuine, a true shifter, and had nothing to do with illusions.
Then she stepped back and said, “Paws,” holding her palm out in front of Rakan. Instinctively, he placed his massive paw on hers and tilted his head to the side. Only then did he realize that Kisha was treating him like a dog.
He had nothing to say, or perhaps he dared not, so he bit his tongue. Besides, it wasn’t as if he could speak in his current form.
Behind them, Duke couldn’t help but chuckle, holding his laughter in. He watched Rakan’s bewildered expression, his feline eyes dilating in realization, and found the sight funny in countless ways.
“Pft!” Duke bit his lips and lightly tapped his legs with his fists to shake off the numbness. But because he was holding back his laughter, he used a little too much force and hit his legs harder than intended, forcing himself to stop abruptly.
Karma, it seemed, was a real bitch and taught him a lesson; he could no longer laugh at anyone else’s misfortune.
“Good! Then, can you shift back to your human form?” Kisha asked Rakan, her eyes shining with excitement. She wanted to see if he could control his transformation at will, or if there were conditions that had to be met before he could shift back to human form, or vice versa.
“Rawr…” Rakan opened his massive mouth and let out a low growl, as if trying to tell her something she couldn’t understand. Kisha stared blankly at him, and he repeated it. “Rawr…”
Then he pulled his paw away from her and stood in front of her. When Kisha still didn’t get it, Rakan carefully made his way toward the door, navigating around the furniture with surprising difficulty for his size.
At the door, he tried to turn the knob with his paw, but it was twice as big as a normal tiger’s, making the knob look like a tiny toy. He hesitated, afraid of breaking it, and delicately tried using the tip of his claw.
Watching him struggle so adorably, Kisha finally understood what he wanted.
“Do you want me to leave first?” she asked, a little unsure, stepping closer to Rakan.
Hearing her, Rakan looked back with a pitiful expression, unable to open the doorknob, and gave a small nod.
“All right, then. I’ll leave first,” she said. Her eyes caught the mattress, pillow, and blanket, and she waved her hand to store them in her inventory. Then she approached the door, turned the knob, and stepped out, Rakan’s tiger form lingering just behind the door.
Just after Kisha left, the sound of bones cracking echoed again, just as it had when Rakan shifted into his tiger form. His muscles shrank rapidly until steam rose from his body, and he returned to his original human form.
Duke, who had been forgotten in the corner, witnessed the entire transformation. Seeing that Rakan’s clothes had been shredded during his first shift, he quickly threw some spare clothes to him. Rakan was completely naked now, and Duke didn’t want Kisha to see him this way, so the spare clothes were all he could offer for the moment.
Rakan didn’t move immediately after shifting.
He heaved breathlessly, as if still adjusting to the pain of his bones cracking and muscles growing and shrinking during the transformation. His entire body was slick with sweat, and steam billowed from him as if he were overheating.
After a moment of catching his breath and calming his rapidly beating heart, he slowly stood up, but immediately staggered, feeling unsteady like a newborn calf. For a brief moment, he couldn’t fully sense his own body, and walking properly felt impossible.
Duke didn’t move; he simply watched as Rakan reacquainted himself with his body. Perhaps it was the disorientation from shifting, first walking on all fours as a tiger, then suddenly back on two legs, that might be confusing his senses, especially since it was his first time.
Duke didn’t say a word; he simply watched as Rakan slowly made his way to the set of clothes Duke had tossed him. When Rakan bent down, Duke noticed his legs trembling slightly, but he quickly looked away. He had seen enough, and frankly, watching a middle-aged man struggle to get dressed wasn’t something he was eager to witness.
Because of his lingering disorientation, it took Rakan almost half an hour to fully regain his senses and change. When Kisha returned, after Rakan had finally managed to open the door for her, she was greeted by his human form.
Realizing that he could now answer her earlier question, she stepped inside without hesitation.
As soon as she stepped inside, Kisha noticed Duke still sitting where she’d left him. Only then did she remember that he had been there the entire time, completely forgotten while she was busy being fascinated by Rakan’s awakened ability. Feeling a twinge of guilt, she strutted over to her husband, her expression turning adorably apologetic as she acted cute.
Duke gave a soft snort. “Hmph.” But despite his show of annoyance, he still pulled her onto his lap. Rakan, seeing the couple settle, walked toward them, clearly aware that Kisha’s curiosity about his awakened ability hadn’t faded in the slightest.
