LifeRestart As A BearDogLizard

...

A few hours had passed and the film encasing Joshua had grown three times the size it had started out as.

The beating gradually slowed down to a stop and the film covering Josh slowly dissipated revealing a large white wolf with scales covering the sides of its face and on all four limbs.

'Ugh...' Joshua g.r.o.a.n.e.d as he slowly opened his eyes.

Joshua noticed the difference instantly. 'I'm bigger?'

Yes, Joshua as a Direwolf was about four times as large as when he was a Yaban.

The cave that was once spacious when Josh was a Yaban had now become the perfect size for the new Direwolf.

'I'm even bigger than the wolves, probably around the size of the big red one.'

'That means the red wolf is likely to be a Direwolf as well and a mutated one at that unless all Direwolves are red, but that's unlikely as the color red contrasts too much with the regular wolves that are either brown or grey.'

'The Alpha(red wolf) should be Tier 2 as well. I need to take my revenge slowly as I am only one wolf against a pack of what I assume to be over a hundred.'

'Let's check out my status for now and see what skills I gained from ranking up.'

** (2-star life form)

-[(Light-scale) Direwolf] (Mutated Tier 2)-

•Lv 1/100

-Titles-

[Carnivore][Unexpected Predator][Wanderer]

-Skills-

•Language Understanding Lv Max (Inherit)

•Light Absorption Lv 1

+absorb and store light elements for future use

•Light Shroud Lv 1

+hide in the light

'It looks like my my photosynthesize skill had evolved into Light Absorption and I gained the skill Light Shroud. I will have to test my skills later.'

'My inherit skill didn't evolve, but I kind of expected the skill to already be in its final form.'

'Not much you can go further with the skill since it just quite literally acts as a translator.'

'Though I find this all kind of ironic that after all this time I had become the very source of my revenge.'

'Maybe when I bit of that chunk of the wolf's flesh way back on my first night influenced my evolution choices to have wolves as an option.'

'Or it could be my wanderer title that got me the wolf choices as wolves are known for their lasting stamina.'

'Can't really tell which it is because I can't check the achievements that don't become titles, but I guess at this point it doesn't really matter.'

'Woah wait!' It was then that Joshua noticed that his status did not indicate that he did not start as young or adolescent.

When he was a Yaban he had just gotten out of being classified as an adolescent and can be considered in the early middle of his lifespan as a Yaban.

Now that he evolved into a Direwolf he is still in the early middle of his lifespan, but only this time the lifespan of a Direwolf not a Yaban.

'That was a close shave! If I decided to rank up near the end of my life as a Yaban to gain more achievements, which I decided not to, then even if I ranked up to something stronger I would still be at the end of my life.'

'Of course I would have gained a bit of time as higher beast species have a longer lifespan, but would that time be enough to rank up again?'

'Most likely not.'

'A piece of good news for me is that I learned from the classes that most beasts have really long lifespans and it only gets longer the higher tier they are. Of course there are exclusions from this like the extremely weak creatures such as a Yaban or a rat'

'Phew... Once again I am glad that I am no longer a Yaban. I even feel as if my body is brimming with strength.'

'This is to be expected as compared to when I was a Yaban my strength, stamina, and overall "stats" has multiplied many times.'

'For now I should get used to my new body.'

Joshua tried walking around in the cave and while he did have a bit of trouble at first, his experience with four limbs as a Yaban helped him quickly adjust to the changes.

Joshua then walked outside the cave to check the time and noticed it was past midnight and in a few hours the sun would rise.

The wolves would already have had finished their hunt by now and it was not like Joshua would be able to enact his revenge instantly anyways. He needed a plan because he can't just rush up to the red wolf as that would just get him surrounded and killed instantly.

Not to mention the Alpha is most likely much stronger than Joshua is now with all his skills only being level 1 except for his inherit skill.

With that in mind Joshua returns to the cave, which he has decided to make his temporary residence while he is a Direwolf, and test out his newly gained skills.

'First, the Light Absorption skill let's me better store and utilize the light elements.'

'If I were to guess these light elements are like mana in games. For instance at an active volcano there would probably be a rich amount fire elements in the air.'

'For me the light elements come from the sunlight. Anyways I still have some light elements stored in my from when I was a Yaban before I ranked up.'

'I know that I can use then to speed up my recovery, but maybe I should try something else.'

Joshua tried to manipulate the light elements in him, but was dismayed to find that all he could do was direct it inward to himself and outwards.

'Hrm. The inward is how I heal, but what happens if I direct it outwards since that is all I can do?'

Joshua just decides to push all the light elements he has stored inside him outwards all at once to see what happens. The result was...
