Rebirth of the Weakest

The first thing Luna felt… was pain.

Not the sharp, fleeting kind.

No—this was deep. Burning. Suffocating pain that spread through her body like she had been crushed and stitched back together wrong.

Her breath came in shallow gasps.

“…I’m alive?”

The last thing she remembered was the blinding white lights of a hospital ceiling… the rhythmic beeping of machines… and then silence.

She had died.

That much she knew.

So why—

A sudden rustling sound snapped her thoughts apart.

Luna’s eyes shot open.

Green.

Everywhere was green.

Tall, towering trees stretched endlessly toward the sky, their thick roots twisting across the ground like ancient serpents. The air was humid, filled with the scent of earth and wild plants.

And the sounds—

Low growls echoed in the distance.

Something primal. Dangerous.

Her heartbeat spiked.

“This… isn’t a hospital.”

She pushed herself up—

—and froze.

Her hands were smaller.

Softer.

Delicate.

“…What?”

Her fingers trembled as she brought them closer to her face.

Pale skin. Slender wrists.

Not hers.

Not her old body.

A cold realization crept up her spine.

“I… transmigrated?”

Before she could process further—

CRACK.

A branch snapped nearby.

Her head whipped toward the sound.

From the shadows between the trees… something moved.

A figure.

Tall.

Broad.

And unmistakably inhuman.

Golden eyes gleamed in the darkness.

Locked onto her.

Luna’s breath caught.

“…No way.”

The man stepped forward slowly.

Muscles coiled under sun-kissed skin, his frame powerful, predatory. His hair was dark, slightly wild, and his presence—

Oppressive.

Behind him—

A flicker.

A tail.

A wolf’s tail.

Her mind went blank.

Beastman.

Her instincts screamed.

Run.

But her body—

Wouldn’t move.

His gaze dragged over her, sharp and assessing… before narrowing slightly.

“…A rabbit.”

His voice was low. Rough.

Dangerous.

Luna felt her throat tighten.

Of all things—

She had become prey.

⚠️ System Awakening

Suddenly—

A sharp pain exploded in her head.

“Ah—!”

She clutched her skull as a cold, mechanical voice echoed in her mind.

[System Initializing…]

[Host detected: Luna Vale]

[Race Identified: Rabbit Beast – Lowest Tier]

[Condition: Critical]

“What—?”

[Activating: Divine Medical & Fertility System]

A soft chime followed.

Then—

A translucent blue screen appeared before her eyes.

Luna stared at the panel.

“…A system?”

Her heart pounded—not with fear this time, but something else.

Hope.

But before she could explore it—

The wolf beastman took another step closer.

“Why are you alone?” he asked, voice colder now. “Where is your tribe?”

Luna swallowed.

Think.

Think!

“I…” Her voice trembled. “I don’t have one.”

Silence.

His gaze sharpened.

“…A stray.”

Not pity.

Not concern.

Assessment.

Like he was deciding whether she was worth anything at all.

Luna’s nails dug into her palm.

If she didn’t act—

She would die here.

🐺 The Predator’s Judgment

The wolf crouched slightly, lowering himself to her level.

Still towering over her.

Still overwhelming.

“You’re injured,” he said flatly.

Luna blinked.

Only then did she realize—

Her body was covered in bruises.

Blood stained her arm.

Her HP…

12 out of 50.

She was barely alive.

“I can fix it,” she said suddenly.

The words slipped out before she could stop them.

The wolf’s brow furrowed.

“…You?”

A rabbit.

Weakest of the weak.

Claiming she could heal.

Suspicion flashed in his golden eyes.

Luna inhaled sharply.

Now or never.

“I can heal you too.”

Silence.

Then—

A low, dangerous chuckle.

“…You think I need healing?”

His aura flared.

Oppressive. Crushing.

But—

Luna saw it.

Hidden beneath his strength—

A deep wound along his side.

Dark.

Infected.

Rotting slowly.

Her eyes narrowed.

“You’re dying.”

The words fell softly.

But they hit.

Hard.

The wolf’s expression froze.

For a split second—

His killing intent surged.

Then—

It disappeared.

“…Say that again.”

Luna steadied herself.

Her voice didn’t shake this time.

“That wound… it’s poisoned. You’ve been suppressing it, but it’s spreading.”

A pause.

A long, heavy pause.

Then—

“…Fix it.”

🌿 First Use of the System

[Healing Skill Activated]

[Target: Wolf Beastman – Unknown Identity]

[Energy Cost: 5]

Luna raised her trembling hand.

A faint green glow gathered at her fingertips.

Warm.

Gentle.

Alive.

Even she felt it—

The power flowing through her.

She placed her hand lightly against his side.

The moment she did—

His body tensed.

“Don’t move,” she whispered.

For some reason—

He didn’t.

The light spread slowly.

Seeping into the wound.

Purifying.

Restoring.

The dark, corrupted flesh began to fade.

The wolf’s breathing hitched.

“…What is this…”

[Healing Successful]

[Energy Remaining: 3/30]

Luna pulled her hand back.

Her vision blurred slightly from exhaustion.

But—

The wound was gone.

Completely.

The forest fell silent.

The wolf stared at his side.

Then at her.

Something had changed in his gaze.

No longer just assessing.

But—

Focused.

Sharp.

“You…”

He stepped closer.

Too close.

Luna’s back hit the tree behind her.

Her heart slammed against her ribs.

“…What are you?”

She held his gaze.

“I’m the one who saved you.”

A dangerous answer.

But a necessary one.

For a moment—

Neither moved.

Then—

Unexpectedly—

He smirked.

“…You’re interesting.”

[Bond System Unlocked]

A new panel appeared.

Slight trust established

Increased survival probability

Luna’s eyes widened.

“…Bond system?”

So this world—

Wasn’t just about survival.

It was about connection.

And power through it.

🐺 A Dangerous Offer

The wolf straightened, his presence still overwhelming—but different now.

Less hostile.

More… controlled.

“You don’t have a tribe,” he said.

It wasn’t a question.

Luna shook her head.

“…No.”

Another pause.

Then—

“Come with me.”

Her breath caught.

“What?”

“You’ll die alone,” he said bluntly. “You’re too weak.”

True.

Painfully true.

“But with me…”

His golden eyes locked onto hers.

“You might survive.”

Might.

Not will.

He wasn’t offering safety.

He was offering a chance.

Luna hesitated.

Every instinct screamed danger.

But—

What choice did she have?

She glanced at her system panel.

Low HP.

Low energy.

No protection.

If she stayed—

She would die.

Slowly.

Alone.

She exhaled softly.

“…Fine.”

A faint glint of approval crossed his eyes.

“Good.”

He turned without another word.

“Keep up.”

And just like that—

He started walking.

Luna stared at his back for a second.

Then—

She pushed herself forward.

Step by step.

Into the unknown.

Luna glanced at the glowing panel one last time.

Then at the man ahead of her.

But she would.

And somehow—

She knew this was only the beginning.

From prey…

To something far more dangerous.
