Mike was just a normal guy—until he woke up as a baby Allosaurus in a brutal, prehistoric world. The worst part? He remembers everything from his past life.

Armed with human intelligence but trapped in a dinosaur’s body, Mike quickly learns that survival is the only rule. He’s weak, he’s small, and every creature around him wants to eat him. But unlike the other beasts, he has something they don’t—an Evolution System that rewards him with points for every hunt.

By using his brain,  strategy, and growing strength, he rises from a helpless hatchling to a ruthless apex predator, taking down stronger foes and ruling the wild.

But just when he thought he had conquered the savage world… he evolved again—into a human!

Now stranded in a strange village, weak but still hungry for power, Mike must rebuild his dominance. With his hunting instincts, evolution points, and a knack for scamming, he’ll forge an empire, reclaim his strength, and maybe… evolve into something even greater.

Because no matter what form he takes, he was born to rule.

Reborn as a Allosaurus

Mike spent the next few hours getting used to his human body. At first, simply standing was a struggle—his balance was completely off, and he felt sluggish without his powerful Allosaurus tail to keep him steady. He stumbled, tripped, and even faceplanted a few times, much to Eli's amusement.

But deep inside, Mike knew this body wasn't entirely new to him. Before he had transformed into a dinosaur, he had once been human. The muscle memory slowly returned, and with the help of his Quick Sprint skill—albeit at half power—he began moving with more agility.

After a few hours of practice, he was able to walk normally, then jog, and finally, he could move with ease. He even tested his Predator's Sense, feeling a faint but functional awareness of his surroundings.

[System Notification: Quest Completed]

Quest: Adapt to Human Form – Complete!

New Skill Unlocked: Sword Master (Lv.1)

Mike paused as the system message flashed before his eyes. Sword Master? That was new. He quickly checked the skill's description.

The more the user trains, the faster the level increases.

Unlocks new sword techniques at higher levels.

"A sword skill, huh?" Mike muttered, intrigued. He had never used a sword before, but something about the idea excited him. If he was going to stay in this human form, he might as well make use of new strengths.

Just as he was about to test it out, Eli interrupted him, holding a plate of steaming food.

"Here, Lord Mike! Your food!" she said cheerfully, offering it to him.

Mike's stomach growled as he grabbed the plate. The second he took a bite, his eyes widened in surprise.

"This… this is amazing!" he exclaimed, devouring the meal like a starving beast. The rich flavors exploded in his mouth—it was nothing like the raw meat he was used to eating as an Allosaurus.

After finishing his meal, Mike stretched and took a deep breath. "Alright. Now that I've mastered my human body, what's next?"

Eli tilted her head. "Why don't you check out the village? Now that you're our lord, people will be expecting you to lead."

Mike stepped outside, his eyes scanning the village for the first time. It was... in bad shape. Many houses were damaged, some barely standing. The roads were uneven, and the entire place looked worn down from years of struggle.

As he walked through the streets, villagers greeted him with smiles, some waving excitedly.

Mike blinked, still not used to being called "Lord." But seeing the hopeful faces around him, he knew he couldn't just stand by and do nothing.

He clenched his fist. "Alright, first step as a lord... let's fix this place up."

He turned to Eli with a determined look. "We need to rebuild this village. Let's start construction."

Eli grinned. "Now you're talking, Lord Mike!"
