Chapter 16

"I won't forgive you!!"
'AOOOOOOO'
With a gut-wrenching howl, the wolf charged towards the humans who stood callously amidst the remains of its pack. However, its brave act was in vain, as an adventurer swiftly ended its life with a single, effortless stroke. 
The humans stood unfazed, mocking the wolf and its failed attempt at vengeance. 
"Tsk, that was the leader?" one of them sneered, his tone dripping with disdain. "It was pretty weak," they jeered, laughing cruelly as the forest fell silent once more.
As one of the elder wolves took its last breath, its final words hung heavy in the air.
"Only he..." it whispered, its voice barely audible.
"Only he can bring us true salvation. I hope you will be blessed by our Gods..."
As if in answer to the elder wolf's dying prayer, a miraculous event occurred. The young white pup had suddenly gained a system that was thought to only exist in the realm of manga and anime!
The truth was undeniable: the soul of a former murderer now inhabited the body of a small wolf. With all of his past knowledge and experiences intact, it was a power that could only be described as a cheat.
As the sun rose in the sky, its rays illuminated the faces of the humans who had hunted down the wolves. Their grins of triumph shone brightly, masking the darkness in their hearts. 
Little did they realize that by sparing one lone wolf, they had sealed the fate of humanity itself, for they had unleashed a force beyond their wildest imaginations.
*Waaaa*
The gentle rays of the morning sun began to heat up the puppy, driving off the lingering chill and causing it to stir awake. With a lazy yawn, the little animal rose onto its feet.
"It seems like it's already morning...", as usual, he walked towards the water source in order to wash his face.
