The sun shone brightly.
A gentle sea breeze swept over the Desert Island, making the dense forest tremble slightly.
The light within the dense woods was scarce and somewhat dim. Only beams filtering through gaps in the leaves cast speckled patches of light across the ground.
A deer was grazing.
Like a spirit of the forest, it skipped lightly among the trees, occasionally tasting the fresh grass here and then savoring the fragrance of the shrubs there.
It was a scene as beautiful and tranquil as an oil painting.
But in the next instant, that painting was torn to pieces.
A black shadow shot out from a nearby thicket and lunged straight at the young deer.
Caught completely off guard, the deer did not even have time to swallow the food in its mouth before the shadow pinned it to the ground.
In the dim light of the forest, the deer's lively eyes finally saw what the monster attacking it looked like.
It was a Giant Wolf, several sizes larger than the deer itself.
Its entire body was covered in jet-black fur. Some of its sleek, glossy coat even gleamed with a metallic luster.
Its somewhat elongated muzzle was packed with sharp teeth. Their eerie white color and vicious curves all proclaimed the might of a predator!
The Black Wolf did not open his jaws and use his sharp teeth to bite through the deer's neck. Instead, he pressed his right paw against its throat and exerted a little force. A dull crack sounded, and the deer's neck was crushed inward.
This wolf's strength was rather extraordinary.
The wolf lowered his head, picked up the deer in his jaws, then immediately leaped into the bushes and raced swiftly away.
The great wolf sprinted through the woods. With a casual swipe of his paws, he could smash apart trees blocking his path; with a slight leap, he could clear boulders and earthen mounds several meters high.
Before long, he had reached the edge of the forest, where bright sunlight made his black fur gleam.
Beyond the forest lay an open stretch of rocky cliffs, with the deep blue sea spread out ahead.
The rocky highland was utterly bare, with no vegetation growing upon it.
The only thing on the rocky ground was a stone house. It looked extremely crude, as though large stones had simply been piled together, then melted and fused into one another by intense heat.
The great wolf walked straight to the stone house and set the deer on the ground.
Then the great wolf rose onto his hind legs, his body rapidly shrinking until, in an instant, he became a little boy!
He was a little boy dressed in stitched-together animal skins. His black hair was messy, as if it had been chewed off by a dog. His skin was fair and tender, his cheeks still plump with baby fat, and his arms and legs were short. He looked only five or six years old.
Yet the little boy's hands and feet moved deftly.
Sharp claws suddenly grew from his right hand, and he skillfully gutted, skinned, and deboned the dead deer.
After finishing with the deer, the little boy found a log several times taller than himself, yet he lifted it with ease.
He skewered the entire deer on the log and planted it into a small hole in the ground.
Then the little boy's body suddenly swelled, black fur rapidly growing across him. In the blink of an eye, he had transformed once more into a black Giant Wolf.
The Giant Wolf opened his mouth, and scorching flames instantly poured from his jaws, washing over the deer.
As he breathed fire to roast it, the Giant Wolf adjusted the angle to keep the venison from burning.
The flames were incredibly hot. Before long, an enticing aroma drifted through the air.
The Giant Wolf dismissed the flames from his mouth and returned to his little-boy form. Sitting cross-legged on the ground, he turned the roasted deer sideways and, ignoring the searing heat, took a huge bite full of fragrant venison.
Though the roasted deer was far larger than the little boy himself, he somehow stuffed all of it into his stomach in no time.
"About seventy percent full."
After finishing a deer, the little boy muttered to himself. He picked up the bones tossed to one side, walked to the cliff behind the stone house, and threw them all into the sea. Then he sat at the cliff's edge and leisurely swung his legs.
The gentle sea breeze blew toward him, making the little boy feel a little sleepy.
As he yawned, his right hand turned into a claw again, and he casually scratched a line into a nearby rock.
The rock was already densely carved with many tally marks.
The little boy glanced at the rock and roughly counted them. There were nearly fifty tally marks already.
"Has it almost been a year?"
He looked out at the sea and sighed.
Sirius was a transmigrator, a mature soul dwelling within a young body.
He had come from an Azure Planet and had been in this blue sea for nearly a year.
At first, he did not know where he had arrived. The memories left behind in this body held little knowledge of this world.
That was until one day, when he was struggling to survive on the Desert Island and found a fruit with spiral patterns on its skin.
After eating it, he gained the ability to transform into a Giant Wolf, and he could no longer swim.
Only then did he realize what kind of world he had come to.
Arriving in a familiar world was a blessing amid misfortune, especially since he had gained a powerful ability.
But the problem was that this body was simply too young.
He was only six years old this year. Even with such a powerful ability, his tiny body could not support its full use, leaving him utterly unable to escape this uninhabited Desert Island.
"I wonder how long it'll take before I can leave this place!"
Sirius sighed softly. "I really want to see this world as soon as possible!"
His previous life had been short. In this life, he had finally come to such a wonderful and vibrant world, yet he could only remain on this deserted Desert Island. He could not help feeling unwilling.
Whoosh!
A sharp sonic boom suddenly came from the sky.
Sirius raised his head in astonishment. High above, a massive black shadow was plummeting at incredible speed.
"What the hell is that?"
Sirius's small body flipped nimbly to his feet. He stared in shock at the thing falling from the sky. "A meteorite?"
Boom!!
The black shadow crashed heavily into the center of the island.
The tremendous explosion instantly resounded through the heavens.
The entire island began to shake violently, and even the rocky highland beneath Sirius's feet started to crack apart.
"My home—"
Sirius watched helplessly as the stone house he had spent so much effort building collapsed.
But he had no time to worry about the house now. The cliff itself was crumbling.
Sirius hurriedly transformed into his Giant Wolf form, nimbly stepping across the breaking rocks as he charged toward the forest.
But before he could enter the forest, a raging gale blasted into him head-on, nearly blowing him backward into the sea.
Luckily, Sirius grabbed tightly onto a large tree at the edge of the forest and managed to steady himself.
Bracing against the gale, Sirius plunged into the forest.
He could deal with the house later. Life on this island had been utterly unchanging, and now that something unusual had finally happened, Sirius could not wait to see what had fallen.
Sirius was fast. Racing through the forest, he passed countless animals fleeing toward its outskirts and headed straight for the very center.
It did not take long for him to reach the center of the forest, where that thing had fallen.
The once-dense jungle had now become a barren expanse. Everything within a radius of over a hundred meters had been blown away. Trees had been uprooted, while flowers, grass, and shrubs had vanished without a trace.
All that remained was a massive crater a hundred meters wide.
At the center of the crater was a hole that sank straight down into the earth.
A humanoid-shaped hole!
"Uh—what is this?!"
Sirius stood dumbfounded.
This scene felt so familiar.
"Bwahahahaha!! I didn't die again this time!"
Mud and sand shot into the sky. Through the swirling dust, Sirius vaguely saw an enormous figure slowly rise from beneath the earth.
New author, new book. Please be kind to me.
