The Unknown Link

Seo Joon watched the massive wolf stalk through the darkness, its fur bristling under the pale light. It wasn't just some mindless beast anymore.

It had a system.

His system.

And now, a notification flashed before him.

---

[Command System Holder #2?]

---

His brows furrowed.

Command?

He had never seen this option before.

He tried to control Jang Mi-Rae earlier—nothing. The system didn't grant him authority over those he empowered.

But this wolf…

His finger hovered over the option.

Would it obey?

Or was this a trap?

He pressed it.

[System Holder #2 – Wild Instincts]

Race: Wolf

Status: Active

Loyalty: 5%

Current Thought: "Survive."

---

Seo Joon's eyes narrowed.

Loyalty?

It was low.

Extremely low.

That meant one thing—it wasn't his ally.

It had no attachment to him.
