The Wolf King's Legend Begins

Sonny sat on the ground, leaning back against a tree with a relaxed smile, his hand gently stroking Fenrir's massive silver fur. The legendary beast let out a pleased rumble, enjoying the attention. Sonny chuckled to himself, shaking his head in disbelief.

"I never would've believed in this lifetime that I'd be friends with an ancient Fenrir," he mused aloud. "A legendary divine beast, feared throughout history, and now you're just lying here, enjoying head pats like a big dog."

Fenrir's golden eyes gleamed as a deep voice echoed in Sonny's mind.

**Fenrir (Telepathically):** "You… are different from the others. No human has ever made me submit before."

Sonny smirked. "Yeah, you're right about that."

Then, realization struck him, and his expression shifted into pure shock. His eyes widened, and his hand froze mid-pet.

"Wait, you can talk?!"

Fenrir let out a soft huff. **"Of course. Did you expect a mere beast?"**

Sonny blinked, then burst into laughter. "No, I know you're an amazing ancient beast, but telepathy? That's new."

He resumed petting Fenrir's head, and the massive wolf let out a low rumble of satisfaction. After a moment, Fenrir lifted its head slightly.

**"So, who are you, mortal?"**

Sonny grinned. "Name's Sonny Cross. Just a guy who got a second chance at life in this world."

Fenrir narrowed its glowing eyes. **"A second chance?"**

Sonny nodded, leaning back with a thoughtful look. "Yeah. The gods brought me here and gave me some… let's just say *ridiculous* power-ups. Now, I'm something beyond human."

Fenrir studied him in silence before letting out a deep chuckle. **"I see… That explains why your presence distorts the natural order. You are no mere mortal. You are something this world has never seen before."**

Sonny smirked. "I get that a lot."

The two sat together, an odd but comfortable silence settling between them. Though their bond was new, there was already a mutual respect growing between them. They weren't just tamer and beast—they were equals, partners.

Finally, Sonny stood up, stretching his arms. "Alright, enough sitting around. Let's get going, partner. We've got a whole world to explore."

Fenrir stood as well, shaking out its thick fur. **"Hmph. Very well, but do not slow me down, human."**

Sonny chuckled. "Oh, trust me, that won't be a problem."

As they walked through the forest, Sonny suddenly remembered something. "Oh, right. **Status.**"

A golden screen materialized before him, displaying his overwhelming stats. His eyes scanned the screen, and he grinned when he saw his newest skill.

**[New Skill Acquired: Tamer of the Divine Beasts: EX]**

**"So it's official now? Heh, well, I guess I did pretty good for my first time taming something."**

Fenrir glanced at him. **"What is that glowing screen you are staring at?"**

Sonny smiled. "Just checking on my status. Looks like taming you gave me a broken skill." He turned to Fenrir. "Guess you're stuck with me now."

Fenrir huffed but didn't protest. Instead, he walked beside Sonny, matching his pace. The two continued onward, the wind gently brushing against them.

Sonny took a deep breath, feeling the crisp air against his skin. His mind wandered as he walked, reflecting on everything that had happened so far.

**"A new world, limitless power, and now a legendary divine beast as my companion… What's next?"**

He grinned to himself. Whatever lay ahead, one thing was certain—

This adventure was just beginning.

While walking through the forest, Sonny felt the fresh breeze against his face. The journey had been peaceful so far, but as they neared the forest's edge, something disturbed the tranquility.

A few hours later, they emerged from the treeline and came across a small village—under attack. The sound of yelling, cruel laughter, and the terrified screams of villagers filled the air.

Sonny narrowed his eyes. "Tch… bandits attacking innocent people. Typical lowlifes."

Fenrir's ears twitched as he observed the chaos. **"Humans are a strange species. Some create, others destroy. These ones seem to take pleasure in suffering."**

In the center of the village, mercenaries stood over trembling villagers, demanding food and wealth. The terrified villagers begged for mercy while the bandits sneered.

"Hand over everything, and nobody gets hurt!" one of the bandits barked, grinning.

The villagers whimpered, clutching their families, while the bandits continued to laugh and mock them.

Sonny and Fenrir exchanged a glance and nodded to each other before calmly walking into the village, keeping a low profile. As they approached, Sonny's mind raced with thoughts.

**"This is disgusting. These bastards don't even see these people as humans."**

One of the bandits noticed them and smirked. "Hey guys, look at this! Some kid and his pretty little mutt!"

The other bandits turned, sizing up Sonny and Fenrir.

"Hah! Easy pickings."

"Hey, that wolf's rare! We can sell it for a damn good price!"

"Kill the brat, take the beast!"

Sonny sighed, rubbing the back of his head. "Man… you guys are evil *and* idiots."

Fenrir snorted. **"They truly do not know their place."**

The bandit leader scowled, then barked at one of his men, "Get rid of that bastard!"

One of the bandits grinned, drawing his sword. "With pleasure, boss!"

The bandit charged at Sonny, swinging his sword with a crazed grin. Sonny didn't move, still smiling. The blade made contact with his skin—

**And shattered like glass.**

Silence. Everyone froze, eyes wide in disbelief.

"W-What the hell?!" one of the bandits stammered.

"His skin… broke the sword?!"

Fenrir chuckled. **"Looks like you're tougher than you look."**

Sonny smirked. "I *did* try to warn you."

The bandit leader's face twisted in anger. "Enough games! Kill him!"

Sonny sighed. "Alright… let's wrap this up."

He raised his hand and casually snapped his fingers.

**Expected Result:** A simple knock-back effect.

**Actual Result:** A massive shockwave erupted, sending every bandit flying like shooting stars, screaming as they disappeared over the horizon.

The village remained untouched, protected by some unseen force. Fenrir let out a deep laugh. **"You never fail to be entertaining."**

Sonny shrugged. "I was *trying* to be gentle."

The villagers stood frozen, unable to process what had just happened. Then, one of them pointed at Fenrir, their voice filled with awe.

"T-That's… the legendary Fenrir!"

A murmur spread through the village before turning into full-blown praise.

"A divine warrior has saved us!"

"He must be sent by the gods!"

"The Legendary Hero has appeared!"

Sonny paled. "Wait, hold on, I—"

Before he could protest, the village chief rushed over and dropped to his knees. "Please, great warrior, allow us to repay you! Stay in our village—let us offer you food and shelter!"

Sonny sighed but smiled. "Alright, alright. I won't say no to a free meal."

The villagers cheered, celebrating their newfound savior, while Sonny and Fenrir exchanged an amused glance.

**"So much for staying low-key."**

The night was peaceful, the sky filled with stars as the village celebrated their survival. Near the center of the village, a bonfire blazed, casting a warm glow as villagers laughed, danced, and enjoyed the festivities. Children ran around, playing without a care in the world, their joy echoing through the night.

Under a large tree at the edge of the gathering, Sonny and Fenrir sat, enjoying the meal prepared for them by the grateful villagers. Sonny leaned back against the trunk, watching the people with a soft smile.

Fenrir, observing the scene, let out a thoughtful hum. **"Humans are… fascinating. So fragile, yet so resilient. They suffer, yet they still find joy. Strange creatures indeed."**

Sonny chuckled, nodding. "Yeah, it's kinda amazing to see them happy after everything that happened. Just a few hours ago, they were terrified, but now? They're celebrating life." His gaze softened as he watched a group of children laughing together. "Guess that's what makes them strong in their own way."

Fenrir glanced at him. **"You speak as though you are not one of them."**

Sonny smirked. "Am I, though? After everything the gods did to me, I don't know if I count as human anymore." He took another bite of his food, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. "But if there's one thing I do know, it's that there's good and evil in this world. And these villagers? They're the good ones."

Fenrir nodded. **"Perhaps. But not all humans are like this. Many will fear what they do not understand. And you… are beyond their understanding."** He smirked. **"Keeping a low profile is already impossible for you."**

Sonny paused mid-bite and slowly looked at Fenrir with a deadpan expression. "Yeah… I kinda failed at that already, huh? Not even a full day in, and people probably already know about me."

Fenrir chuckled. **"It is amusing to see you struggle with something so inevitable. You will be known throughout the world soon enough."**

Sonny groaned dramatically. "Great. Future problems are already piling up…" He slumped back against the tree with an exaggerated sigh, earning another amused look from Fenrir.

**Meanwhile…**

Far from the village, deep in the wilderness, the surviving remnants of the bandit group groaned in pain. Those who had managed to escape Sonny's overwhelming power were battered, bruised, and utterly terrified.

"W-What the hell was that guy?!" one of them gasped, clutching his broken arm.

Another shuddered. "That wasn't a man… That was a *monster* in human form!"

"And that wolf! Its eyes glowed like fire! It wasn't normal!"

One of them trembled as he recalled the moment Sonny had snapped his fingers. "H-He erased our entire group with a single gesture! The ground shook, the sky darkened… It was like the gods *themselves* feared him!"

Panic spread among them. Fear took root, and soon, whispers of Sonny's power spread like wildfire through the criminal underworld.

Bandit groups and mercenary factions immediately marked the region as off-limits, fearing the being they now called **"The Wolf King."**

Rogue guilds and underground organizations took notice. The emergence of such an overwhelming force intrigued them, and soon, rumors of the unstoppable warrior and his legendary beast reached the ears of powerful individuals.

**Back in the Village…**

Fenrir turned to Sonny, watching him stare into the fire. **"What will we do now?"**

Sonny thought for a moment before grinning. "Tomorrow, we travel again. I want to see the whole world, go on adventures, and just… have fun."

Fenrir huffed in amusement. **"A simple desire for someone so powerful."**

Sonny laughed. "Hey, might as well enjoy this second life. No point in sitting around waiting for trouble to find me, right?"

Fenrir smirked. **"Trouble will find you regardless."**

Sonny sighed. "Yeah, yeah. But until then, let's just enjoy the night."

The two of them sat under the tree, watching the firelight flicker as laughter and music filled the air. The journey ahead was uncertain, but one thing was clear—

Their adventure was only just beginning.
