Tokyo was always a crowded place, but for me, it was the quietest corner of the world.

  My name is Raita Kurosawa. I’m twenty-five years old, a simple employee at a massive corporation. My life was nothing but a repeating cycle: wake up, work twelve hours, and return to my tiny apartment. I didn't socialize—not because I was shy, but because people exhausted me. They are all the same; bowing to power while crushing the weak.

  "Raita! Haven’t you finished your work yet? Hurry up, or I’ll cut your salary!"

  My manager’s voice rang in my ears. I only stared at the floor. In my mind, I thought: One day, I will possess a power that will make you all silent before me. But in reality, I was just a poor salaryman.

  It was 11:30 PM. A light drizzle was falling. As I left the office, the neon lights of the streets burned my eyes. I was crossing the road, thinking about how to pay the rent. Suddenly, a blinding white light engulfed everything. The roar of a massive engine... a sharp horn... and then, nothing. No pain, no sound. Just absolute silence.

  Was I dead?

  No... there was something. I felt a strange warmth. A powerful scent flooded my nose—the smell of damp earth and a thick forest. When my eyes opened, I wasn't in Japan anymore.

  I was inside a deep cave. Moonlight filtered through a hole in the ceiling. I tried to scream, but only a weak, high-pitched whimper escaped my throat. I looked at my hands... no, these weren't hands. Four limbs, covered in grey fur and tipped with small, sharp claws.

  I... I’ve become an animal?

  At that moment, heavy footsteps echoed through the cave. From the shadows, a massive wolf emerged. He was far larger than any normal wolf, carrying an aura of pure majesty. His fur was silver, and his eyes glowed like two blue flames. As he approached, I felt an immense pressure, as if the very air had grown heavy.

  He stopped and stared at me. No words were needed to know who he was. He was my "father"—the Alpha of this pack. With a single glance, my mind was filled with the instinct of fear and respect. He wasn't an ordinary beast; he radiated a strange energy that proved this world was ruled by magic and skill.

  Suddenly, a translucent screen flickered in my mind like a holographic display:

  [Notification: "King's Authority" System Initialized]

  [Host: Raita Kurosawa]

  [Status: Alpha Wolf Cub - Level 1]

  [Active Skill: Analyzer’s Eye (Level 1)]

  The Alpha leaned down, sniffing me with his massive nose. He didn't speak, but his gaze sent a clear message: "Stand up... in this world, weakness means death."

  I, Raita Kurosawa, who was nothing in Japan... have been reborn as the son of the Alpha.

  Power... Strength...

  This time, I won't say "one day."

  This time, I will become that day.
