Reincarnated As A Lion In Another World-Chapter 93: The Lion System
Kael woke up, his mind filled with the gory images of those lions that Jin killed.
’So that’s who Jin was…’ Kael thought, unable to keep a straight face.
Jin had killed the people of his race simply because they were weak. Kael could literally feel the suffocating hate that Jin had for weaklings.
And the lions Jin had been killing were all tier 2 and 3. Kael wasn’t sure if Jin judged weakness based on tier level or based on something else.
Either way, what would Jin say if he saw Kael?
The more Kael looked through the memories of his predecessors, the more he realized how lucky he was.
The eras of the previous eight Primordials were filled with so many elements that would be very unfavorable to Kael.
Whether it was Alan being the only lion of his time and therefore having to sacrifice himself to create the first two normal lions.
Or Bethel, being born at a time when the lion race had very low numbers which gave Bethel an excuse to seduce many lionesses away from their pride leaders.
There was Silax who was born at a time when lions were constantly migrating from one planet to another in hopes of spreading out more.
Derylia was born at a time when the lion race was so divided that she was able to consummate with a dragon right under their noses.
Noel seemed to have it worse, he deserved every pity. Noel had to shoulder the consequences of a lot of mistakes of the previous Primordial Lions while still taking the whole lion race to conquer the heavens.
And now, there was Jin’s time when Kael didn’t even want to know what had happened. Most times, the hate for the weak develops after experiencing a sickening level of debauchery and softness in members of one’s society.
Any number of societal disorders could have given Jin a valid excuse to purge his own race.
Then there was the first Primordial who was a lioness, and the third Primordial lioness.
Kael had not yet checked her memories but he imagined that her era won’t be much favorable.
And the fourth Primordial Lion who died before he could get a name for himself.
Life has always been tough, but compared to theirs, Kael’s time was relatively easier.
There was almost no pressure from any corner. There was a sufficient population of the lion race, he wasn’t on a chaotic world.
The only thing he needed to do was get stronger and conquer all.
However, the lack of pressure presented a depressing truth to Kael that didn’t make him feel the desire to appreciate his luck.
The lion race had fallen, Noel had failed, and his sacrifice had been for nothing.
A race where each member saw themselves as royalty, a race that dared to challenge the hosts of the three thousand heavens, a race that fought the world to build a nation of kings.
A race that could command the world with their roars.
The only evidence that they had done such things was the memories the Highest Will had given Kael.
No lion in this savage world knew how magnificent their heritage was.
’Can I succeed where Noel failed?’ Kael thought, feeling lost for a moment.
He shook his head to remove that doubt from his mind as quickly as possible.
’Yes,’ He affirmed, ’They didn’t have what I have. They didn’t have the experience of eight different lives.’
Saying that, a look of ruthlessness appeared on Kael’s face. The Primordial record screen appeared in front of him.
This wasn’t the Primordial Record that he used for the animals of the forest, this was the Primordial Record that he had kept aside exclusively for the lions.
He had been able to fill the quest vault of the Primordial record in the past week. Thanks to the wolves, there was a lot of meat that could be exchanged for points now.
A lot of lions who had their identity marks on the Primordial Record had already exchanged the points they had gotten from the only quests for meat.
The number of lions who had their identity marks on the Primordial Record had increased to more than fifty.
With incentives, the lions had made sure to ’persuade’ any other lion they encountered to add their identity marks to the Primordial Record.
It had only been slightly more than a week since he modified the quests. The number of identity marks was expected to increase exponentially in the coming days.
’This is what makes me different from other lions, I might as well make full use of it.’
With that thought, Kael immediately put a label on this Primordial Record.

’The Lion System…’ Kael decided to give it a simple name, a reference to one of the novels he had read in his past life.
The Primordial Record, upon feeling the unique identity that was being placed on it, reacted strangely.
It acted like a computer that was receiving a massive update. It crashed, multiple golden screens appearing and glitching around Kael’s body.
At the same time, information rushed through Kael’s brain, the secrets of the Primordial law being exposed bit by bit to his naive mind.
Even with all this, Kael didn’t forget the main reason why he had given a name to the Lion’s exclusive Primordial Record.
His mind churned as he added another task to the Lion System.
[Follow the river, against the current. Lead your pride to the forest.
Reward: 100 points.]
And with that, Kael had set up a contingency plan no one would have ever been able to anticipate.
At the same time, Kael closes his eyes, feeling how he and the Primordial Record were becoming one and the same.
#######
A week passed by in a flash. The end of this week marked the end of half of the one-month rest period before Kael focused on the mountain again.
This meant that it had been a week since Burdo had ’reunited’ with his brother, Kael.
Today was also the day that Kael was supposed to collect his package from Natalia, the brood master of the Darktale Web Handlers.
Today, Kael was present at the site where Kael had first met Natalia, in his humanoid form as usual. He stood a few meters away from the burrow and his golden eyes were focused on the ground as he sank himself in thought.
He wasn’t here alone, unlike last time. Commander Bibi stood beside him with twenty ordinary wolves and one fire wolf.
The wolves were a bit anxious, aware of the entities they were supposed to meet here.
Ruda, the purple lioness, and Zabita, the metal-clawed lioness were sitting down behind him.
They both kept their senses on the thirty deer carcasses piled up on each other. This didn’t stop them from shifting their gazes to Kael’s figure once in a while.
Kael seemed to be deep in thought, indeed he was. He had been like this for days, ever since Burdo had confessed his whereabouts.
Who could blame him, anyone who heard Burdo’s story would also be like that.
At this time, the ground shook as a dog-sized spider crawled out of the burrow entrance.
One spider, two spider, four spider… Multiple spiders the size of a dog rushed out of the burrow entrance and stood in an orderly line in front of Kael’s group.
There were twenty-five spiders present, most of them having a black metallic body. The rest either had red or green bodies.
All of them were exuding spirit energy, confirming one of Kael’s guesses. These spiders had dual powers despite having one spider heart.
But Kael ignored them for now, he focused on the tsunami-like spirit energy that was rolling forth from the burrow.
He could feel the spirit energy rise at frightening speeds, it was unlike anything he had ever felt before.
Unlike most spirit-powered creatures who were quite emotional, this spirit signature showed that the owner was emotionally absent, like a machine.
But Kael knew that wasn’t the case, every spirit-powered creature had emotions, and some were just good at suppressing it, like Natalia.
The spirit wave reached its peak, causing the ordinary wolves to feel pressure on their minds. They all felt a headache coming on and this wasn’t even intentional from the other party.
Finally, the owner of the great spirit signature showed herself.
She climbed out of her burrow with her spider legs like an evil goddess, her aura pressing forward to show her might.
Kael saw her clearly, her naked upper body that was endowed with a wonderful set of breasts and the black metallic lower body of a spider.
The six dots on her cheeks expanded as she laid her eyes on Kael who stared back. Her eyes met his golden ones, trying to read into each other’s intentions.
Kael was the first to speak, "Natalia, I didn’t think you would come in person." He said.
Natalia chuckled, clearly reading the provocation hidden in Kael’s words. "I had to come to show my sincerity to do business. I hope you don’t feel intimidated?" She smiled and asked.
"Hehe, I am very much intimidated," Kael said sarcastically. Thankfully Natalia was smart enough to understand sarcasm.
Meanwhile, the wolves and spiders were currently staring daggers at each other.
