Chapter 9: Training

By the time Dominic was satisfied that he should be able to get some use out of his newest Ability, the sun was balancing just above the horizon. Still, he felt it was time well spent si...

Chapter 8: Touch-starved

The first thing that Dominic noticed was the number of Prey Points to his name. Since he’d been 28 points away from levelling up before killing the lions, and he’d earned 30, he was expecting t...

Chapter 7: Rewards

Author's Note:

Since this chapter is in large portion his full status sheet (and I do want to put this in at this point), I will be releasing chapter 8 today as well. So enjoy a double chapte...

Chapter 6: We Are All Lions

He’d been expecting it, but the pain to his teeth still took him a bit off-guard. 

‘This is like the worst visit to a dentist ever,’ Dominic groaned to Leo, squeezing...

Chapter 5: No More Cracking Teeth

Getting back to the carcass, Dominic was less interested in eating than he was in checking whether he could finally level up – and then finding out what rewards he’d gained from the Challen...

Chapter 4: The Invitation

Turning to see what the lionesses had been getting up to while they fought, he saw two battle lines clearly drawn in an increasingly tense situation. All the lionesses were facing each other, ears ...

Chapter 3: I’m Not Fighting Fair When It’s Three On One

The first indication that they’d entered another pride’s territory was when Dominic saw the deep indentations of claw marks and scented the territorial marking that the pride had left on a stan...

Chapter 2: Firepower

‘Oh, they’re levelling up, are they?’ commented Dominic. He’d risen to full consciousness only a short time before, probably when Leo did too. Apparently it was ...

Book 2: Chapter 1: Rest

Padding through the savannah in the light of the rising sun, each step taking them further away from their territory, the mood among the pride of eight adult lions was low. Tails drooping, bodies s...

Interlude 1

Author's note:

So, with this chapter, Book 1 is officially complete! :D

Enjoy!

The hyena matriarch watched as the lions retreated, that male watchful ...

Chapter 106: Break It To Them

Fumbling with his relatively new Ability, Dominic felt an oddly resounding click when he met eyes with the female hyena. Sensing that the connection was established, he poured his thoughts down the...

Chapter 105: Out of the Bag

After his attacks on the higher-level hyenas, the seven which remained turned on Dominic, seeing him as the greater threat. Which he was, but the lionesses weren’t to be discounted either.

...

Chapter 104: Snapping Jaws

This time, the powerful scavengers had come in force. The lionesses swiftly grouped together, Dominic swiftly joining them at their head. The cubs were behind the adults who were standing in a vagu...

Chapter 103: Ruin the Party

In response to Dominic’s mental contact with her, Sekhmet sent a number of images to him, detailing exactly what had happened. As it turned out, three of the cubs had gone a bit too far from the ...

Chapter 102: A Bird In The Hand

‘So, lions are using tools now,’ Dominic told his companion in a bit of amusement. ‘What next?’ It was rather interesting to see how the lionesses had taken to killing the...

Chapter 101: The Stoner

As it turned out, they weren’t. Though that wasn’t all good news for the lions.

Dominic had theorised that the lizards would have to have some sort of neutralising agent in their mouths a...

Chapter 100: Make his Mark

Although Dominic didn’t have much of an idea of where to go to find the other pride members, fortunately Neith and Hathor did. Perhaps they were used to separating and then coming back together. ...

Chapter 99: Increased in Cost

Author's Note:

For those who have received this post for a second time, sorry about that! I have been informed of an error regarding Leo and Dominic's prey points. As a resul...

Little announcement

Hi everyone.

First, let me say a big thank you to all of you! Your support for my writing is def...

Chapter 98: In Numbers

Watching the fight from the backseat had been as interesting as always. Dominic had seen each death, and had kept vague track of the numbers involved. It was therefore not a big surprise when all t...

Chapter 97: Guerilla Tactics

In almost unison, the four lions leapt, each for different targets. Leo’s target went down in one blow, the 75% bonus from Pounce adding a not inconsiderable amount to his already high damage cap...

Chapter 96: Lion Logic

As it turned out, it was pretty simple. It seemed to require Dominic to initiate the invite and the lioness to accept it, but that was all. Since they were still recuperating from the previous figh...

Chapter 95: Create Pride

Author's note:

The Patreon editor doesn't allow me to do strikethrough. Where it says 'party Pride', the 'party' is supposed to be crossed out. Hope that clears up any confus...

Chapter 94: Flesh Equivalent of a Bulldozer

‘I know exactly what we should call her,’ he grumbled to Leo as he quickly took a glance at the new situation. ‘Leroy. I don’t care that it’s not a goddess name or e...
