Her eyes flutter open to a world unfamiliar. As she slowly opened her eyes to see a dark starry sky, the world around her seemed like a kaleidoscope of unfamiliar colors and sounds. The last memory she could grasp was the screeching of tires and the blinding headlights of an oncoming truck. while on her way back from school, she made this fatal mistake by crossing the road while on her phone.. There was no way she could have survived that. Yet here she was, amidst the wilderness, her body pulsating with a strange energy, looking at herself she realized what she saw was not her own familiar form. it was different, her boobs were bigger, she was taller and …. Her hands shook as she touched her face, feeling the unfamiliar contours, the fuller lips, and the heightened senses. And then, the shock hit her like a thunderbolt—protruding from her head were unmistakable feline ears. Panic surged through her veins as she struggled to comprehend the impossible.
"Could it be that after I died, I transmigrated into a different world?" she whispered to the wilderness, her voice trembling with disbelief. And as if in response, memories not her own flooded her consciousness, revealing the life of the being whose body she now inhabited.
She finds herself in the body of a lioness called Ava, her instincts sharp and senses attuned to the wilderness around her. Confusion clouds her mind as she struggles to grasp her new reality. With danger looming, she flees into the wilderness, seeking refuge from the unseen dangers lurking in the shadows nearby.
She quickly hides under a thick foliage of bushes, she overhears voices of about three men talking..
"Do you really think the female is still alive? I doubt even we ourselves can survive such a fall," said the first voice.
"The boss has told us to find her body and make absolutely sure that she is really dead, what foul luck we have. I was really looking forward to playing with that female, her body looks very soft and delicate, it's a real waste for her to die just like that" replied the second voice.
A third voice responded to the second voice, "It is indeed a real shame, but just think, if we can find the body on time while it's still warm, we can still have our fun"
Hearing this she was appalled, these wicked souls don't even plan on letting a dead woman's body rest in peace. If these men were capable of raping a dead body, what would they do to her who is a living person!!, "Nope i cant let myself be seen" she thought to herself as she decided to get a good look at the trio.
As she cautiously observed from her concealed vantage point amidst the dense foliage, her curiosity mingled with dread at the sight before her. What she had initially mistaken for ordinary men engaged in conversation within the forest revealed itself to be a chilling spectacle of grotesque hybrids – beings that seemed an unholy fusion of human and beast. Their forms, a macabre blend of oxen and human or buffalo and human, stirred a primal fear within her. To be ensnared by these aberrations would mean a fate more harrowing than death itself. She recalled that in this world these types of beasts were called stray beasts, because they are unable to transform completely. Determined to slip away unnoticed, she moved with silent precision, until an inadvertent misstep shattered the fragile veil of secrecy, drawing the unsettling gaze of these three monstrous entities upon her.
As she fled, devoid of any semblance of discretion, a haunting realization gripped her: "I am doomed," she whispered to herself, the words echoing in the cavernous depths of her mind. Every step she took was laden with desperation, a fervent prayer that the beasts lurking in the shadows wouldn't catch even the slightest glimpse of her.
In the heart of the untamed wilderness, amidst the tangled undergrowth, a girl fled with desperate strides, her breath ragged and heart pounding against her ribcage. Behind her, were three beasts, their growls and bellows, reverberating through the dense forest and their eyes aglow with hungry lust, as they pursued her relentlessly. Their snarls echoing through the dense foliage, with every step, the girl could feel their hot breath on her heels.
She stumbled over roots and fallen branches, her heart pounding a frantic rhythm against her ribs, with a surge of adrenaline, she pushed forward. Just as their hot breath seemed to singe the nape of her neck, she stumbled upon a hidden crevice, obscured by a veil of thick vegetation, a secret passage leading into the earth below. With her last ounce of strength, she plummeted into the darkness below, the echoes of her pursuers fading into the distance, her senses dulled, and the world dissolved into shadows as she surrendered to unconsciousness, her fate hanging in the balance.
As Ava slowly regained consciousness, her mind felt foggy, her senses dulled by the darkness surrounding her. She tried to move, but every muscle in her body screamed in protest. With a groan, she forced her eyes open, blinking against the dim light filtering through the cracks above her, it seems like it is now morning.
Memories flooded back in disjointed fragments – the fleeing from the stray beasts, the sickening lurch as the bushes gave way beneath her. She had fallen. How far, she couldn't tell.
Pain shot through her body, sharp and relentless. Ava forced herself to sit up, gasping as she took in her surroundings. She was in some sort of underground tunnel, damp and musty, with rough stone walls towering above her. The air was heavy with the scent of earth and decay.
Gritting her teeth against the pain, Ava gingerly probed the wounds on her body. Her fingers came away sticky with blood, and she winced as she realized the extent of her injuries. Broken bones, cuts and bruises – she was a mess.
But she couldn't afford to dwell on her injuries, not now. Ava knew she had to get out of the tunnel, find help before it was too late. With a grim determination, she pushed herself to her feet, leaning heavily against the wall for support.
Each step was agony, every movement a battle against the pain. But Ava refused to give up. She staggered forward, one foot in front of the other, her heart pounding in her chest. The tunnel seemed to stretch on endlessly, twisting and turning as if mocking her efforts to escape. But Ava pressed on, driven by the desperate need to survive.
In the depths of the cave, Ava stumbled upon a vast chamber connected by a narrow passage. Amongst the primitive objects scattered about, she sifted through, hoping to find anything to aid her dire situation. As she searched, leaving streaks of blood in her wake, she uncovered a small pouch. Within it lay herbs and something familiar—a diminutive glass orb emitting a faint glow. Memories flooded back of original Ava's childhood, recalling her father's possession of such orbs, known as energy spheres, each with unique abilities. This particular one held the power to bolster strength, help increase a beastman's level or even revive the near-dead. With her body ravaged by wounds and uncertainty shrouding her survival, she hesitated, empathizing with its rightful owner. Yet, in her desperation, she knew she needed it more than ever. As Ava contemplates the moral dilemma of taking the energy ball, she wrestles with the desperation of her situation. She weighs the potential consequences of using it against the urgency of her own survival. With each passing moment, her injuries worsen, pushing her closer to the brink. Ultimately, she decides to take the risk, hoping that the energy ball will provide the lifeline she desperately needs.
As Ava ingested the energy sphere, it dissolved on her tongue, unleashing a powerful surge coursing through her veins. With each passing moment, her body responded, biological functions accelerating, fractured bones realigning, and wounds knitting shut. Pain ebbed away, replaced by a newfound lightness. As the orb's effects waned, exhaustion enveloped her, signaling the need for sustenance. Aware of the cave's lack of provisions, she braced herself for the journey ahead, now able to traverse without the burden of pain, albeit still feeling the lingering ache. Despite the temptation to succumb to weariness, she pressed on, driven by the urgency to escape the tunnels while she still had the strength.
Time lost all meaning as she stumbled through the darkness, her eyesight waning with every passing moment. But just when she thought she couldn't go on any longer, a faint glimmer of light appeared up ahead.
Heart pounding with renewed hope, Ava quickened her pace, ignoring the protests of her tired body. As she drew closer, she could hear the sound of rushing water, echoing through the tunnel like a siren's call.
With a renewed energy, Ava emerged from the darkness into blinding daylight. Blinking against the harsh glare, she found herself standing at the edge of a rushing river, the water churning angrily below.
Across the river, Ava could see the outline of what looked like a small village, Inhabited by people dwelling in hollowed tree trunks and who were adorned in animal skin hide, the primitive village bustling with activity despite its modest size. If not for the noise coming from the village one may not even know that a village was here. Help was within reach – if she could only find a way across.
Summoning every ounce of strength in her body, Ava waded into the icy water, the current pulling at her like a relentless foe. Each step was a battle against the raging river, threatening to sweep her away at any moment.
But Ava refused to be defeated. With sheer determination, she pushed forward, inch by agonizing inch, until finally, she reached the other side.
Collapsed on the riverbank, Ava felt a wave of exhaustion wash over her, her body trembling with the effort of her journey. But she couldn't rest yet – not until she found help.
Summoning every more strength, Ava dragged herself to her feet and staggered towards the town, her vision becoming hazy with each heavy step.
It seemed like an eternity before she reached the outskirts of the village , but finally, Ava couldn't take it anymore and collapsed onto the ground, her breath coming in ragged gasps as she shivered from the cold. A silhouette of an abnormally huge Jaguar approached her, then the Jaguar suddenly morphed into a male, it didn't seem like he was hostile, as he looked at her with curiosity.
As darkness closed in around her, Ava felt a sense of peace wash over her, surely this man will not leave her here to die. She had survived. And though the road to recovery would be long and difficult, she knew she would emerge stronger than before.
For Ava, this was not the end, but the beginning of a new chapter in her life. And as she drifted into unconsciousness once more, she knew that whatever challenges lay ahead, she would face them head on, with the same fierce determination that had carried her through the darkness of the tunnel.
