YM778.TV Chapter 4 [ Supreme Predator System ]
"Huff huff...", the wolf pup was barely alive. It seemed as if some of the water had entered it\'s respiratory tract but thanks to the system, it was removed.
However, the pup of the white wolves was completely drenched in cold water and was shivering due to the chillness of the night.

==========
[Initiating Synthesis Of Thermoregulatory hormones]
-> 0/6 of the given hormones have been synthesized.
-> Estimated Time: 00:00:30:00 [30 minutes]
==========
Thermoregulatory hormones, especially the hormones required to increase the internal body temperature, had started to be synthesized.
The newborn pup who was barely 4-5 days couldn\'t possibly handle the chillness.
Its body was weak and fragile so utmost care was to be given, but unfortunately, it was forced to experience both - hotness and coldness.
Now it was somehow respiring while being unconscious. But there were many beasts roaming in the forest and that was the reason why the forest was known to be one of the deadliest forests of the continent.
So basically the pup was not safe entirely but since the nearby forest was set on fire, most of the beasts had run away from the place where the pup was resting currently.

==========
[Thermoregulation has started]
-> Internal heat is being restored.
==========
It seemed as if the system was working perfectly and his thermoregulation had also started.
His body had started to get warmer and now he wasn\'t being affected by the cold. The process had ended but suddenly another notification popped up which gave him something valuable.
It was something that would be with him all the time and would eventually help him achieve great heights.

==========
These were some essential skills which he got. Right now the wolf pup was completely normal and was just asleep.
It could wake up anytime soon only to find this and be surprised.
MEANWHILE...
"Run! You all must survive no matter what!", one of the white wolves that seemed like a leader howled and said to every other wolf.
All of the white wolves started running in packs in order to save themselves.
"Damn... why did the humans come so suddenly here?", the big white wolf murmured to itself.
He looked here and there and decided to escape too after seeing that all the white wolves had been evacuated.
"Yes! Now me too...", after saying this to himself, he too started running.
It was quite dark despite the forest fire which was a bit far off. The wolf ran with all it\'s might in order to rejoin with the packs.
"Huh? Light...?", the wolf was surprised to see light being emitted from the outside of the forest when suddenly his sixth sense warned him of something.
The moment he came out of the forest, he saw something which made it trembled.
All the wolves of its clan that had departed in order to escape from the cruel humans were lying dead with their heads chopped off.
Only one or two of them were hardly even breathing because they were somewhat stronger and their heads were intact.
"No....", the tribe leader couldn\'t possibly see this.
"I won\'t forgive you!!!!!"
\'AOOOOOOO\'
It howled and rushed towards the humans who were standing there only to get himself killed with a clean slash by an adventurer.
"Tsk... that was the leader? It was pretty weak...", was what the humans said and laughed.
The wolf\'s neck was split apart and it was dead. Its body was now lifeless.
The other wolves who were still alive were also mercilessly killed. Even young babies weren\'t spared.
One of the elder wolves who had aged a lot before dying said, "Only he... he can bring us true salvation. I hope you will be blessed by our Gods..."
It seemed as if the prayer was heard due to which the young white pup gained the system miraculously which was only possible in Manga and animes!
But regardless of that, it was true that the man who was a murderer in his last life had died and was now in a small wolf\'s body. He had all the knowledge so it too was a cheat for him.
Soon it was morning again. The sunlight flashed brightly towards the humans\' faces which had a unique smile on their faces because of their joy of hunting the wolves.
But little did they know that they had brought a big misfortune upon themselves. Just by leaving a single wolf alive, they had put the existence of humanity on the line!
\'Waaaa\'
The young wolf pup which was lying near the edge of the forest and was initially drenched was now perfectly fine and was yawning.
"It seems like it\'s already morning...", as usual, he walked towards the water source in order to wash his face.
"Huh...!? Who...?", he looked at the water only to find the reflection of a white wolf pup.
"A white puppy? Dog?", he was confused on looking at it.
He tried to run his eyes and then looked towards the river again.
"N-no... is this reflection... mine!!!?", he shouted.
\'Woof woof\'
\'Eh? This sound is literally coming from me!?\'
He was totally confused at what had happened when he recalled the events of the previous night.
"Ya... the humans shot arrows... a wolf helped me...", suddenly something was being understood by him.
"No, it\'s can\'t be possible!", it was hardly believable.
"I have already died and have been reborn as a freaking WOLF!!!?", he grabbed his head with a small paw of his and looked at the water again.
"This is fucking ridiculous!! Why the heck will I get reborn?", his eyes were completely open and he was too shocked to think anything else.
"This is weird... too weird...", he couldn\'t possibly accept it as if it while thinking that this was some dream because the pain that he felt earlier was too real to be a dream.
Also, he could feel the sunlight and the warmth that was being derived from it.
He could feel the gentle breeze that was blowing and when he touched the water, the gentle coldness was also felt.
"This is all real! I have literally become a wolf pup!"
He was suddenly happy because he wasn\'t restrained anymore. Human logic didn\'t apply to him and he could do whatever he wanted in the jungle.
"Yes! That\'s fucking awesome!", it was definitely a boon for a murderer who gets thrilled by the sight of blood at least that\'s what was to be told.
But he was not the one to blame. The circumstances had forced him to do those things.
But right now it was his turn to enjoy life.
"I\'ll definitely live this life to the fullest...", just as he had told this, he heard a weird sound as if the bush a bit ahead of him was moving.
\'ZZZD ZZZD\'
"Huh...? What\'s there? A rabbit?", he looked towards there and started to move when suddenly he felt a tremor in his heart.
His heart was preventing him to take any more steps towards that area.
"What\'s happening? Why am I not able to..."
He couldn\'t finish what he wanted to say since he was forced to shut his mouth the moment he saw a beast popping out from the bushes.
"That\'s..."

"W-what the heck is this!!!?", he was completely confused when he saw the flying texts since this was the first time he had seen something such as this.
Not only that, he was already tensed by seeing the monster in front of him.
"The fucking hell... I am sure to die again..."
