Chapter 29 Frostlyn

A group of female sat together by the lake, perched on rocks, engaged in conversation.

"Hey, Kyra, what's your beast form?" the female asked abruptly. Kyra paused for a moment, then smiled and replied, "I am Frostlyn."

"Frostlyn?" The other females looked puzzled.

Rhea, one of them, spoke up, "I've never heard of a beast called Frostlyn."

"That's because we're a very rare species," Kyra explained, still smiling, knowing she was the only one of her kind.

Sally, curious, chimed in, "Can you show us your beast form?"

"Nope! I haven't shifted yet. I can only shift once I reach adulthood," Kyra explained, lowering her head.

Frostlyn was the first beast created in a laboratory by combining human and extinct beast genes. The DNA sample was discovered under a mountain that collapsed during an apocalypse. The scientists who found it designed Frostlyn to have a kind and gentle personality, with the purpose of assisting humans who were struggling in the aftermath of the apocalypse.

Since a young age, Kyra had been learning 16 different forms of perfected art and had been helping everyone she encountered. To them, she seemed to lack her own consciousness. Many people had physical problems and injuries due to the apocalypse, and kyra was specifically designed to aid them.

The scientists had informed her that she couldn't shift until she turned eighteen, which was only a few months away.

And who knows, suddenly on her way back home, she finds herself transported to Beastworld.

When Kyra witnessed Lucas transforming from a beast into a human, she was astonished. She had never encountered anyone like herself who possessed the ability to shift. This both shocked and delighted her.

As a result, she wasn't afraid, even when encountering groups of wolves or any other terrifying shapeshifting creatures. She believed this world was perfect for her, but deep down, she still desired to save the suffering people in that world.

"What are you guys hiding?" Lucas questioned when he noticed Ezra and Jin concealing something behind their backs.

Lucas was currently on a break. They had gathered a significant amount of food for the day, and with a little more collecting, he could return home.

"N-nothing, Lucas," Jin stammered, his eyes widening as Lucas approached him.

"Show me what you're hiding," Lucas insisted stubbornly.

"Nah, Lucas, it's nothing," Ezra exclaimed.

"Well, let me see," Lucas said as he grabbed Jin's arms, causing the hidden fruits to fall to the ground. The fruits were red, juicy, and looked delicious.

Upon seeing them, Lucas's mouth watered. "Oops! Jin, why were you hiding these? Let me have one," he said, picking up a fruit and taking a single bite.

"NOOOOO!" Jin and Ezra shouted.

Those fruits weren't ordinary; they were wine fruits. When they had visited Beastcity, they discovered that these fruits were used to relieve stress. Jin and Ezra had noticed the fruits in their tribe, so they took some when they visited.

However, these fruits had side effects. When consumed, they brought out a person's true nature. Jin, on his first encounter with the fruit, laughed and cried simultaneously. Ezra, on the other hand, rolled around uncontrollably. As a result, they only ate the fruits at night before going to sleep.

"What are you staring at? Now go and do your work. I'm on a break," Lucas said, rolling his eyes.

Jin and Ezra exchanged glances, thinking that maybe Lucas, being powerful, was immune to the effects of the wine fruits, so they Left seeing him perfectly normal.

"Ehhh! What's happening to me?" Lucas exclaimed, holding his head. He looked around and everything appeared blurry and doubled.

He noticed a soft black stone in the distance. He walked towards it, sat on it, his cheeks turning red.

Meanwhile, Ezra and Jin began to worry.

"Where's Lucas?" Partrich suddenly asked.

"He was resting over there on the left," Jin replied.

Partrich nodded and said, " I have something to tell everyone. Let's go. This amount of goods is enough for today." The group started moving towards the spot Jin had pointed out.

However, when they arrived, they saw something that made their eyes widen in surprise.
