His name was Beowulf. He once belonged to a tribe of Wolf-kin beast-kin that traveled in a big group every year across the plains of the continent of Midgard. The vast grassy plains made the perfect home for several nomadic tribes of beast-kin, who traveled across the continent yearly to avoid colder temperatures. Of course, there were always times when the nations in this continent got in their way.
The strongest Nations in the continent specifically, the Kingdom of Albraun, who was known for their slavery, the Kingdom of Stronghold, that seemed to discriminate beast-kin and even dwarves and elves were not well seen there, as it was a militaristic and traditional nation that embraced human supremacy, the Unified Federation of Merchants, Goldsand, which was one of the few nations that welcomed other races due to their strong ties with the other continents where such races were the dominant civilizations but that still held a few traditional fiefdoms that didn’t accepted demi-humans and hunted them down, and lastly, the Empire of Light, where the church of the God of Light, Odin, originates from, accepts Elves and Dwarves, but everything else is treated as monsters, and their ties influence the rest of the continent. Only small nations such as Iceland, far away from the rest thrive by accepting all races due to their lack of workhand if they didn’t.
Because of the many threats from humans, demi-humans that preferred a lifestyle in the wild had a hard time without having to hide deep within the woods far away from civilization, nomadic tribes of beast-kin had been hunted down for generations now, but eventually, those that survived managed to find new routes to evade as many humans as possible, managing to reach their areas of destination and prosper without troubles… But that ended when some of them, members of these tribes that wanted to adventure across the world were captured by the humans as they traveled far away, and they ended being tortured until they spoke everything about their tribes.
Since that day, forty years ago, the strongest nations of the continent of Midgard unified to slaughter as many beast-kin as they could, as they were seen as filthy and impure beasts, although they were mostly spared, and enslaved instead. It was more convenient to keep them as workhand for free than to just outright kill them. Like many nations in Earth that flourished through the work of thousands if not millions of slaves such as Rome, slaves brought a massive increase to the earnings of these nations. People that could work without being paid a dime was the best, and with that, they could earn money without having to spend in paying them other than giving them one or two meals a day and barely a place to sleep.
The greediness of humanity was further enhanced by the strange laws that the Empire of Light created, making it “alright” for demi-humans to be enslaved and to serve humans just because they once reveled against them with the demon king, and they were merely just paying for the sins they committed. Of course, there were exceptions, citizens, travelers, and adventurers that belonged to these races of demi-humans still found a place in even these nations, as the religion only ostracized those that were in tribes with the excuse of calling them barbarians.
And this was how Beowulf’s tribe met their demise, caught, and ambushed after finally reaching the place where they would spend winter. Beowulf had a daughter and a wife, but they were taken away from him, while he fought bravely for them, only to be left half dead… ultimately, he was healed with cheap potions and sold, never meeting his daughter and wife ever again. Many times he tried to escape his owners, each time giving them a headache, and each time he was tortured for it, but his will was undying, and he ended being resold to many owners, until he was put into a giant arena where slaves fought to death for the entertainment of the nobles.
In that place, he became a champion, using his skills and powers he had attained thanks to his bloodline as a wolf beast-kin, he gained levels by killing his opponents, although he never did it willingly, as his opponents were in the same place as him, forced to fight to live. He continued killing innocents just so he could one day meet his family again. Alas, that never happened.
He was suddenly bought by the Vampire Lord within Albraun and was suddenly turned into one and given to Agatha. Having never seen Vampires before, he felt frightened, and even more when he was turned into one, gaining weaknesses but an incredible power… in exchange for the thirst of blood. In that time, he was forced to work for the Vampires, doing all sorts of shady works. However, Agatha took a liking on him for being so strong and silent, and ended making him her “toy”… At the end, the sadistic woman tortured him and violated him as much as she wanted, using her special drugs to break his mind until he turned into the ideal doggy she wanted.
Although deep down within his broken and animalistic mind his previous self remains, caged within darkness, he cannot free himself, afraid of everything, he had lost the entire will to continue being himself. His body moved by itself, and his will only obeyed that of his lady. The moment she demanded him to use the ability that drained the soul away from him… it was fine. After all, that was his purpose now. And perhaps, deep within him, he wanted to die.
Facing the monstrously strong Mercury, Beowulf had to go all out, using the power he had acquired after training for so long, another of the Skill’s special to a beast-kin that has attained an immense level such as him…
[Beast Spirit Summon]!
The werewolf roared, as his entire soul suddenly formed an enormous Soul Aura that exploded from within his own body, spreading out and expanding, shaping into a monstrous and savage wolf covering his entire body like an armor… he was shrouded in spiritual radiance, yet it somehow didn’t hurt him. This was one of the beast-kin’s amazing powers, that not many had the privilege of ever awakening, the power of summoning a beast spirit.
FLAAASH!
