"ROAAAAAAAAAR" The creature released a deadly howl as it swipes its claws toward the incoming Jayce. Not just that, but its body's proportions seem to change as it ballooned in size by double! Its eyes turn crimson red as it releases a certain translucent hormone, that is naked to the people's eyes; the hormone causes the surrounding people's expression to turn ghastly pale in horror.

"HEEE! Mercy...MERCY!"

"MOMMY! HELP ME!"

"DEVIL! DEVIL!"

Many desperate cries rang out in the surrounding radius as both the soldiers and allies alike cowered in fear for an unknown reason.

'What is this?' Jayce muttered with a shocked expression because using his Arcane's eye, he could see strange energies were being released from the creature's body, some sort of an odour. The tendril of energies then went toward the nearest people, and spread outward, causing them to scream in terror.

'Hallucination?' This is the only explanation for why they are behaving this way. The creature isn't near them, nor is anything as matter of fact.

'This is bad!' Seeing the people's situation and the incoming tendril of energy heading his way, Jayce suddenly stopped his advancement as he used his ability to flash away from the spot.

*FLASH* Just as Jayce disappeared from his spot, a gigantic claw suddenly appeared as it tried to maul him down. The claw hit nothing but air as it demolished the ground below.

*BANG*

*CRACK*

"ROAAAAAAAAAAAAR!" Frustrated because the prey dares to escape its grasp, the creature roars madly as it dashes toward a certain direction, the way that Jayce went. This time, the creature opened its deadly jaws as it crunches down

*SNAP*

"ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH" An agony shriek resounds.

"Hmm?" Looking down, the creature saw that this wasn't its target as it accidentally bit someone else. Again, the damn bastard escaped from his grasp!

In midst of his rage, the creature bites down hard, causing the victim's body to split in half, killing him on the spot. Blood seeps into its mouth, but it only serves as fuel to its madness!

"AWOOOOOOOOOOO!"

The creature turns its head frantically, trying to locate Jayce's position. Usually, It could pinpoint a target location with its sensitive nose, but since this is the battlefield and the sense of blood emitting from various directions made it hard to track a single person.

....

"Bandit's secret." In a location not far away, Jayce muttered an incantation as his gaze hasn't left the creature. He's currently hiding underneath various dead bodies, thinking of a solution to beat the beast without using any cheat-like method. After all, the bastard of the system might reduce his experience points if the match is too easy.

But Jayce doesn't know if he could defeat that creature with ordinary methods.....

The beast is just too strong! He estimates the creature is at least at peak C-rank or even a B-ranker, the same level as Jhin! Even then he doesn't know if he could the guy if it weren't for the Zhoyna.

He also guesses that It has an extreme pain tolerance, otherwise, his earlier attack that deal true damage would have left it unconscious from the severe pain. Even Poppy isn't immune to his true damage attack, and she's an A-ranked!

Not to mention the creature has a self-healing ability! Like how its injuries suddenly were healed back to full after it consume several bodies. Combine with that odour it emits, causing people to experience hallucinations; that thing is practically a killing machine!

Unless he uses Zhoyna, getting close to it and dealing any sort of damage is just an impossible task!

He could use ranged attacks from a distance, but that creature is extremely fast as well! Plus with its toughness, it could just tank his attacks while getting to him at the same time.

He cannot afford to let its hand get a hold of him....otherwise death is the only outcome!

While Jayce was thinking hard about a solution, the mechanical system's voice sounds in his head.

'DING! Congratulation Player! You have successfully copied an ability!'

'Name: Eternal Hunger

Description: Eternally hungry.

Usage:

i. Life steal: Any damage Player dealt, you will heal back the same amount.

ii. Infinite appetite: For 60 seconds, Player can consume "anything", increase in health and size. Cooldown: 20 minutes.

'Oh.My.God.' Jayce was flabbergasted as he reads the description. It wasn't just that, but he's also surprised at the fact that the creature is the chosen one!? In other words, a champion!?

But who?

'Then don't tell me….that's Warwick…?' Real life isn't like what it is shown in a video game. Jayce was initially suspicious about the creature's identity, he felt a sense of familiarity but couldn't pinpoint how and why because it look nothing like how it was supposed to in the game!

In the game, Warwick is supposed to be a werewolf-looking being, really self-explanatory on his appearance right? But no! In real life, it looks like a real terrifying monster! Not a single detail resembles how a werewolf is supposed to look!

Maybe earthlings in his past life don't know what a werewolf appearance is like and they just made it up according to their imagination….

But that is beside the point.

'Merge the reward!' Jayce hurriedly spoke out in his mind, because in his peripheral vision, the creature is coming his way! He needs to hurry.

'DING! Successfully merged!

Jayce didn't even pay attention to the system as he activate one of the abilities, Infinite appetite!

In the instant that he activate the skill, Jayce could feel a wave of hunger strike down at his mind and body, making his eyes turn red. The pain isn't that painful compared to the time his soul was stitched back in the day, but it's the temptation to eat everything and anything that really hurt!

*BRRRRR* Looking at the various dead bodies in front of him, his stomach growls in protest, persuading him to give in and feast upon their bodies.

*Thump* He could feel his heart beating wildly. As time passed, the temptation only grows stronger.

'food....' Jayce absentmindedly reaches his hand toward the bodies, salvias dripping out from the corner of his mouth.

"Be careful of your emotion..." Suddenly an unknown voice came out of nowhere.

Jayce heard the voice, as he woke up from his hallucination

"FUCK OFF!" He roared out at the top of his lung as he switch off his ability. In that instant, the hunger strikes disappear as he returns to normal.

He stood up from beneath the corpses with an intense aura, black and white lightning flickering at the space around him. Now he's truly mad!

He didn't want to go full all out and did his best to limit himself from using any O.P. skill as he was trying to hone his fighting ability against this beast, essentially treating it as a practice dummy.

But he isn't in the mood for that anymore. The damn ability ticked him off! Although it's a strong ability as it can increase his health, but the fact that it forces him to eat even the human remain made his stomach sick.

'I should be more thoroughly before making any decision....'

"ROAAAAAR!" While Jayce was in a stupor, Warwick has already appeared right before him with its claws swinging in motion. This time it determined to maul the bastard to death!

"Tch, you really are fucking annoying," Jayce said in an annoyed tone, reaching his hand out mid-air as he takes out the Zhoyna hourglass.

…..

Within dreamland….

*Huff*

*Huff*

Amid a blizzard storm, a boy is struggling to breathe as he drags his ragged body, forcing himself to tread along the snow.

He didn't know how long he had walked but he didn't dare to stop as the figure of his mother appeared in his mind.

"Vander…go….keep moving forward, never look back…"

He could remember her face, she was still young and beautiful despite already boring children, with red hair and a pair of blue eyes, freckles all over her face, but that only serve to highlight her beautiful face.

She told him to run while hot tears that had already run cold because of the icy cold blizzard.

"Mommy…." Tears and snot came out of his eyes and nostril, but he didn't stop, just kept on running and going forward….

But it didn't last for long before he collapses down on the cold snow. Alas...he's still an ordinary boy after all...

'Why…?'

'Why me….?'

Why are they being hunted down? Why did his mom have to sacrifice herself? Why? WHY?

Vander's hazy eyes gaze at the sky above with unwillingness. His fist which had already turned purple due to frostbite, clench itself hard in anger. He wants to scream and shout, vent out his frustration to the world.

'Why is heaven unjust…?' That was his last thought before darkness enveloped his vision.

It was just at that moment….

*Tap Tap Tap* That same darkness that enveloped his vision was actually a humanoid silhouette of a certain somebody that randomly appeared out of nowhere.

"Alas... Enlightenment is knowing the value of one's ignorance...the heaven's will isn't something mere mortal like us will understand..." The silhouette spoke out to the unconscious young man in front of him.

The figure then looks up to the distance as soon a group of men along with various dogs, coming closer to their location.

It's the fact that the man could see through the thick heavy blizzard, even from a distance way, is enough to prove his extraordinary prowess.

"Since fate allow us to be together, and your unyielding spirit reminds me of that old monk, I'll play this part of your next journey..." The figure then reaches out to Vander with his bandaged left hand, throwing him over his shoulder.

The man clasps his hands together as he mutters an incantation.

"The dragon blazed my trail. I merely walked it."

His clothes, which didn't even budge the slightest from the dangerous frigid wind, started to flutter wildly as translucent energy gathered around him like a vortex.

"ROAAAAAAAAAAAR!" The energy then formed together, creating an eastern dragon-like being, with a long body, and 4 claws. Its dragon-like head with two horns and two long whiskers sticking out from the side of its snout, roaring toward the sky in an indomitable manner.

*RUMBLE* The roar caused the heaven and earth to change as lightning flickered across the cloudy sky, and loud rumbling thunders resounds amidst the cold blizzard.

If anyone else were there they would be forced to kneel on the spot due to the sheer size and aura emitted from the dragon, but the closest people are those people with their dogs from a distance away.

The figure didn't say anything, he took a jump and sat atop the dragon's head with Vander still lying lifelessly on his shoulders.

"ROAAAAAAAAAAAAR!" The dragon gave out one last mighty roar before slithering/flying toward the East.

[AN: Can you guess who it is?]

….

Several minutes later...

"WOOF"

"WOOF"

At the same spot, several dogs bark out as they sniff along the trail of footprints that were imprinted on the snow, but they abruptly stop as the trail, along with Vander's scent, mysteriously ends there, as if they just disappeared into thin air!

"WHAT? HE'S GONE? HOW?"

"IMPOSSIBLE! SEARCH UNDERNEATH! MAYBE THE SNOW BURIED HIM."

"HURRY AND FIND HIM, BOSS ISN'T GOING TO BE HAPPY!"

Several people shouted out loudly because of the blaring blizzard. They were in a state of confusion as their target suddenly disappeared like a ghost. This is beyond what their common sense is supposed to be.

The hunters spent several hours digging and searching around the area but had no luck in finding the boy.

"Fuck! Let's go back. The woman also disappeared, so did the boy.... what the fuck is going on here...?" One of the men said confusedly, nonetheless, he still ordered his men to head back instead of staying here. This bizarre situation is above his paygrade, so he might as well head back and report to the boss.

As they were leaving, many of them didn't realize that up in the sky, a silhouette of a gigantic bird, flapping its icy blue wing, was looking down at them coldly. On its back is a familiar figure that we all know, with red hair and a freckled face, Vander's mother!

The bird flaps its wings toward the spot where the hunters stood.

*RUMBLE* In that instant, several tornadoes composed of ice and snow were formed as they ran a rampage around the region.

"AHHHHHHHH!"

"HELP!"

"MERCY!"

Many desperate cries resound like howling ghosts, but they soon died out after several seconds.

As if satisfied, the bird nodded its head as it flew away along with Vander's mom.... toward the East...

[AN: Can you guess who it is?]

….

PiltOver, Shurima continent.

"Wh... ere...?" Vander's eyes flutter as he gazes at his surroundings. The first thing that enters his vision is a smooth white ceiling imbued with a gold pattern that looks like it cost a fortune to build upon, nothing sorts of those that resides Zaun could afford to build.

"You're awake." A soothing female voice suddenly emerged from his left side.

"!" His eyes fluttered open in an instant as his aura surged subconsciously, Vander tried to move, but suddenly a wave of pain assaulted his body, causing him to fall back to the soft bed with a grimaced expression.

"Sigh.... the wounds open again...How reckless!" The voice was spoken out again, this time with a hint of annoyance to it.

When Vander heard the sigh, he turns his gaze and finally has a good look at the owner of the voice. A beautiful woman appears in his peripheral, more beautiful than anything that his pair of eyes has ever gazed upon.

With long beautiful waist-length silver hair, two pointy ears and particularly, a white tusk imbued in the middle of her forehead: weird, but unique!

But his trance only lasted for several moments as his awareness came back. Although knowing that she could kill him at any given moment but didn't, he still doesn't trust a stranger.

"Who are you? Where am I?"

In front of Vander's judgmental questions, Soraka just smile with a sincere expression.

"I'm glad you're awake. My name is Soraka, member of the League of Legend association." Soraka introduces herself kindly and patiently, like the kind soul she is.

"As for your other questions, maybe let them help you."

"Them...?" Vander couldn't finish his sentence as the door of the room launched open with a bang

*BANG*

"PAPA!"

"VANDER!"

Before he could register anything, Vander felt two massive forces, crash into his injured body, causing him to fall back to the bed, groaning in pain.

But he didn't pay attention to the pain as familiar figures and smells came into his sense. Then his emotion fluctuates wildly.

"Vi? Powder!?" He mutters, soon tears brimming his eyes. Ignoring the pain in his body, he hugs the two tightly as his body shakes uncontrollably.

"UH HUH HUH HUH, So glad... I'm so glad...." Vander says as he cries shakily.

This isn't a dream! The pain, the touch, the smell, they are all real! He isn't dead!

'Thank you, Lord, thank you!' No emotion could even describe how he felt at the moment. Sad, grateful, happy, sorrow, but for sure, this is the most important occasion of his life, and he would forever cherish this moment.
