Formation Of The Royal Army

Shin's brow furrowed as he turned to Heart.

"Heart… what's happening? What do these notifications mean?"

"They're signs that your kingdom has done well, big brother," Heart replied cheerfully. "Once you reach level 10, you'll have the opportunity to add two deities to your pantheon."

Shin let out a sigh of relief and shifted his focus to the beastkin, dark elves, oni, hybrids, and those with broken magic cores.

"You're probably wondering why I called you forward," he began, his voice steady. "My name is Shin, and I carry the blood of the Void Dragon King and the Succubus Queen. I brought you here because my father left me a note saying that you all have the potential to become Dragon-Born—based on your loyalty and strength."

His gaze swept across them.

"Now, I ask… what do you choose?"

Without hesitation, they all knelt.

"We choose to follow you, Lord Shin!" they declared in unison.

Shin nodded approvingly.

"Good. Those with broken magic cores—go to the healers. I've crafted potions that will restore your mana cores."

After they returned, Shin began the transformations.

The Moon Shadow Elves

First, the Dark Elves.

"From now on," Shin declared, "you will be known as Moon Shadow Elves."

The 110 dark elves felt the change immediately after being named and drinking a drop of Shin's blood. Their bodies adapted to their new identities, gaining incredible powers:

• Lunar Control: Strength increases under the moonlight, with peak power on full moons.

• Shadowmeld: Perfect invisibility within shadows, even evading magical detection.

• Voidstep: The ability to teleport short distances through the void of night.

• Nyx's Embrace: Enhanced senses in darkness and immunity to illusions cast under moonlight.

The transformation complete, the Moon Shadow Elves knelt before Shin, their loyalty now etched into their very blood. The eldest among them, his eyes gleaming with newfound power, spoke with reverence.

"Thank you, Master Shin. We are reborn in shadow and moonlight. We shall be your silent blades and watchful eyes in the night."

Velzard, standing beside Shin, murmured softly, "They're magnificent. You've created a force that will thrive where light fears to tread."

Shin nodded, his mind already racing with possibilities.

"Rise, my Moon Shadow Elves. The night belongs to us now."

Ding!

Primordial Goddess Nyx is interested in your kingdom.

The Mountain Splitters

Next, the Oni.

Shin approached the towering Oni and sensed something… incomplete. Their strength was undeniable, but a deeper connection—a bond to their forgotten ancestry—remained dormant, waiting to be awakened.

"You are powerful… but power alone is not enough," he said firmly. "I will not just make you stronger—I will return you to your roots, to the forgotten might of your ancestors who once split mountains with their bare hands."

The 110 Oni knelt, their massive forms bowing with reverence as they awaited his will.

Shin drew forth another drop of his dragon blood, but this time, it shimmered with an ancient, primordial glow—imbued not only with his power but with the essence of forgotten legacies. The air grew heavy, and a distant rumble echoed from the earth itself, as if the very mountains recognized what was about to unfold.

"I name you Mountain Splitters," Shin declared, his voice resonating with the echoes of the past. "Not just warriors of strength, but descendants of the ancients—those who shaped the earth and tore down the heavens. Through my blood, I reconnect you to your forgotten lineage. Stand as champions of raw power, heirs to the will of the mountains."

The drop of dragon blood fragmented into countless glowing shards, descending upon the Mountain Splitter Oni. As the shards merged with their bodies, an overwhelming force surged through them. Their obsidian skin, already tough as enchanted steel, was now etched with ancient runes—symbols of their ancestral lineage pulsing with the energy of the earth. Their horns, once jagged and menacing, now gleamed with a primal luster, resembling the peaks of mountains long forgotten.

A deep, guttural roar echoed from the Oni, shaking the very ground as their connection to their ancestors solidified. Their eyes now burned with golden light, reflecting both power and wisdom passed down from the ancient titans who came before them.

Traits Gained:

• Echo of the Ancients: Grants them the instinctive knowledge and techniques of their forebears, allowing them to wield earth-shattering power with precise control.

• Mountain's Resolve: Their bodies are now living embodiments of unyielding stone, making them nearly impervious to harm.

• Primordial Slam: A strike infused with the will of their ancestors that can create shockwaves capable of leveling battlefields.

• Seismic Awakening: When pushed to the brink, they can invoke the will of the ancient titans, temporarily becoming vessels of unstoppable destruction.

Ding!

Primordial God of Earth Titans Kronos is interested in your kingdom.

As the transformation concluded, the Mountain Splitters stood taller, their very presence resonating with the heartbeat of the earth. Their leader, now a towering colossus whose body seemed carved from the bones of the world itself, knelt before Shin.

"We feel them…" his voice rumbled, filled with awe. "Our ancestors… their strength, their knowledge… it flows through us once more."

Shin took a deep breath, satisfied with the transformations he had accomplished.

"Good. You are no longer just warriors. You are the living will of the mountains, the unbreakable force that guards this land."

Velzard, watching in quiet awe, murmured softly, "You've not only given them power, Shin… you've restored their souls."

Shin nodded, a rare moment of solemn pride in his voice.

"And now… they will make the earth tremble once more, my dear."

The Neiman Guard and Mountain Kings

Shin called the Beastkin forward. There were 55 lion beastkin and 55 tiger beastkin. The air around them was thick with tension as both groups stood tall and proud, their eyes filled with unwavering resolve.

The lion beastkin exuded an aura of dominance and raw strength, their golden and white manes catching the light as they stood in disciplined formation. One stood out with a black and red mane, his presence commanding attention. They carried the pride and power of their lineage, their muscular frames ready for battle at a moment's notice.

In contrast, the tiger beastkin radiated an intense, predatory grace. Their striped coats gleamed under the light, and they moved with a deadly elegance, their sharp gazes locked onto Shin, waiting for his command. Among them stood a pair of twin white tiger beastkin, and Shin immediately sensed the dormant power of the Byakko lineage within them.

Naming the Neiman Guard

Shin declared, his voice echoing with authority.

"You will be the shield that protects my kingdom and the spear that strikes down my enemies. Your strength, loyalty, and courage will form the backbone of my armies."

As the name took hold, a surge of power rippled through the lion beastkin. Their golden manes shimmered with a faint glow, and their bodies grew stronger, muscles tightening as the blessing of the name coursed through them. Their eyes burned with renewed determination, and an instinctual understanding of formation tactics and battlefield strategy flooded their minds.

The Neiman Guard stood taller, their presence now commanding respect and fear. They were no longer just warriors—they were an elite force forged by Shin's will.

"Stand proud," Shin said, a satisfied smile touching his lips. "For from this day forward, the world will know the might of the Neiman Guard."

The lion beastkin pounded their fists against their chests in unison, their roars echoing through the land—a promise of unwavering loyalty and unstoppable power.

Naming the Mountain Kings

Turning to the tiger beastkin, Shin's eyes gleamed with anticipation.

"You are the silent hunters, the kings of the wild," Shin declared. "I name you the Mountain Kings—apex predators who will strike terror into the hearts of my enemies."

As the name took hold, their bodies grew leaner yet stronger, sinewy muscles rippling beneath their striped coats. Their movements became even more fluid, their reflexes honed to perfection. Their senses expanded, granting them near-omniscient awareness of their surroundings. Their stripes darkened, taking on an ethereal glow that shimmered like molten gold in the light.

But it was their eyes that changed the most—gleaming with an ancient, predatory wisdom, reflecting the raw power of the dragon that now coursed through them.

A low, guttural growl resonated from the Mountain Kings as their transformation completed. Their aura was now a terrifying fusion of stealth and overwhelming power—like apex predators infused with the might of a dragon.

"Rise," Shin commanded, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction.

The Mountain Kings stood, their bodies now radiating an aura of supreme confidence and predatory grace. They were no longer just warriors—they were apex hunters, kings among beasts, bound by blood and honor to Shin.

"From this day forward," Shin declared, his voice echoing with finality, "you are the sovereigns of the wild, the masters of the hunt. The world will tremble beneath the shadow of the Mountain Kings."

A thunderous roar erupted from the tiger beastkin, echoing through the land—a vow of eternal loyalty and a promise that none who stood against Shin would survive.

A small smile tugged at Shin's lips. "It seems that you've yet to realize your true potential," he said softly. "But I will awaken it."He raised his hand, and an overwhelming surge of ancient power surged through his body, his dragon blood responding to the task before him. But this time, he reached deeper—beyond his own power, tapping into the primal forces of the cosmos.

"I bestow upon you the Byakko Lineage," Shin declared, his voice echoing with divine authority. "Awaken the power of the White Tiger of the West—become the guardians of balance, the masters of wind and thunder!"

A brilliant light enveloped the twins as Shin's power surged into them. Their bodies trembled as the dormant bloodline within them stirred, roaring to life. The transformation was immediate and overwhelming.Their white coats shimmered with a celestial glow, and faint streaks of blue and silver lightning crackled along their fur. Ancient symbols of the Byakko lineage etched themselves into their skin, pulsating with raw, untamed power. Their claws lengthened, radiating a faint ethereal light, while their eyes—now glowing with celestial energy—reflected the power of the heavens themselves.A deafening roar echoed from the twins, shaking the earth beneath them as the full might of the Byakko bloodline surged through their bodies.Shin watched with satisfaction as the transformation completed. "Rise," he commanded softly.The twins stood, their forms radiating divine power. They were no longer just tiger Beastkin—they were the living embodiment of Byakko's will, destined to become legends in their own right."From this moment forward," Shin declared, his gaze steady, "you are the heralds of wind and thunder, the protectors of my realm. The world will witness the might of the White Tiger reborn."The twins bowed deeply, their eyes filled with reverence and unwavering loyalty.

"We serve, my lord," they said in unison, their voices echoing with the power of their awakened bloodline.A crackle of thunder rolled across the sky as if the heavens themselves acknowledged the awakening of the Byakko's heirs. The era of the White Tiger had begun anew. Velzard asked why are there Byakko's lineage stronger than Ri shin Byakko's bloodline. "Heart," Shin called out, his tone thoughtful yet curious.

Yes, big brother? Heart's familiar, cheerful voice echoed in his mind, but Shin could sense the subtle hum of analysis behind it.

"Why is the Byakko lineage in these twins… stronger than the one in Ri Shin?" Shin asked, his gaze still fixed on the twins as they adjusted to their newfound power. "Their transformation was far more profound, as if they're carrying something… closer to the source."

A moment of silence followed as Heart processed the information. Then, her voice returned, more serious than before.

Big brother, the answer lies in the origin of the bloodline, Heart explained. Ri Shin carries the Byakko bloodline, but his lineage has been diluted over generations. Though strong, his connection to the original Byakko's essence has weakened with time.

Shin's eyes narrowed as he listened closely.

But the twins… Heart continued, their bloodline was never diluted. Their lineage remained dormant, preserved through their ancestors without mixing with other bloodlines. When you awakened it, you didn't just activate a fragment of the Byakko's power—you unlocked the original, untainted lineage that had been lying dormant within them.

Shin's expression darkened with understanding. "So, the twins carry a purer, more primal connection to Byakko's power."

Exactly, big brother, Heart confirmed. Because of this, their potential far surpasses Ri Shin's in terms of raw power and spiritual connection to Byakko. They are essentially direct heirs to the original Byakko's might.

Shin's mind raced as he processed the implications. If the twins' connection to Byakko was that pure, their growth potential was boundless. Their mastery over wind and thunder could rival—or even surpass—the mythical beast itself if nurtured properly.

"Understood," Shin murmured, a small, satisfied smile tugging at the corner of his lips. His gaze returned to the twins, their forms now exuding an aura that felt as ancient as the stars.

With guidance, they can become the true inheritors of Byakko's will, Heart added softly.

Shin's eyes gleamed with determination. "Then I'll make sure they fulfill that destiny."

The twins, unaware of the conversation, knelt before him, their newly awakened power humming with potential. Shin's resolve hardened.

Lastly he called the lion beastkin of the Neiman Guard with the red and black mane Shin studied him closely. "You're different," he murmured, almost to himself. "Your blood… it burns hotter than the others. A leader among warriors."The lion Beastkin's body tensed slightly, as though he sensed what was coming.

Shin's eyes gleamed with understanding. "You were born to lead them," he said softly. "And I will give you the name worthy of that power."He raised his hand, channeling a fragment of his own divine will into the act of naming. Power surged from Shin, flowing into the lion Beastkin, intertwining with his very soul.

"I name you Kael'Rath," Shin declared, his voice echoing with authority. "Bearer of the Crimson Flame, Warden of the Neiman Guard. Your strength will be the fire that lights the path of conquest, and your roar will shake the heavens."As the name took hold, a surge of primal energy erupted around Kael'Rath. His body was engulfed in an aura of crimson and obsidian flames, and his mane, already vibrant, seemed to ignite with a supernatural glow. His muscles hardened, his senses sharpened, and a newfound strength coursed through him.Kael'Rath's eyes glowed with a fierce brilliance—one gold, the other now tinged with deep crimson—as the power of his new name reshaped his destiny. His aura was no longer just that of a warrior—it was that of a warlord.

"Rise, Kael'Rath," Shin commanded, his voice filled with satisfaction. Kael'Rath stood, his imposing frame radiating unshakable confidence and raw power. The other members of the Neiman Guard instinctively straightened, recognizing their new leader. "Lead them well," Shin said, his tone firm but respectful. "For the Neiman Guard will follow you into battle—and the world will tremble before your might."Kael'Rath bowed deeply, his voice filled with unwavering loyalty. "I will not fail you, my lord."Shin's eyes gleamed as he looked upon his new champion. Lastly he gave his dragon blood to all the hybrids awakened a mix of their parent lineage awakening skills they never knew they had.
