In Orange Country, there was a national park.
It was called 'Emerald Peak National Park'.
It was a place for every animal to survive and humans looked after it. There were many animals there, from the ones with a large population to the ones that were almost extinct.
It was a nice tourist spot and people from other countries came to visit this place a lot, but it all changed the moment the gates appeared.
The animals started evolving, they grew stronger, more ferocious, and bloodthirsty.
The bloodthirst, however, was only for those they didn't like.
But there were some beasts that would kill anyone, they don't like anyone.
One such beast was standing in the middle of a grassy field, looking at the wolf in front of it.
It sneered at the saw the wolf that was just a bit larger than a dog's size.
"You want to challenge me, dog?" The beast sneered as it shook its head.
It knew the one in front of it was a wolf, but it still called it a dog.
"Well, I haven't eaten yet, so I guess it's good...."
The beast continued as it licked its lips.
Its voice was rough, like a muscular large man, and it was large as it had a height of 2 meters even while it stood on its fours.
"Cats these days...." A feminine voice was heard as the wolf that was standing in front of the large cat, or lion spoke while rolling her eyes with a sigh.
It felt like an adult scolding a child, and the lion who was being called a cat didn't like any of this.
"You little shit, die!!"
The lion growled as it dashed toward the wolf who had her eyes brightened as she was successful in provoking her opponent.
'Just like Master...'
Her eyes, shifting between blue and black, sparkled with love as she thought about her master.
The lion rushed at the wolf with a growl and its speed was quite fast as it had reached the wolf before the wolf could react.
The lion was after all an SS-rank beast, the ruler of this national park.
She turned around and moved back toward the place where she lived for the past week, but as she moved the body of the lion that was lying dead on the ground was pierced by two more spikes made of shadow.
"Guess it's really dead..." The wolf muttered as she looked at the body of the lion that now had its head pierced as well.
The wolf then ran toward the place where her master left her.
As she arrived at the place, she could see a 3-meter-tall igloo-like structure made of rocks.
It was created by her master and it was super durable. She had tried breaking it, but even after her rank went up to SS-rank she couldn't put more than a scratch on that structure,
She dashed toward the igloo made of rock but then she pressed her brake as her steps came to a sudden halt, she slid for a meter and her speed was fast before she stopped.
Then she started sniffing the air until her eyes brightened with delight.
'Master!!' She exclaimed inwardly as she ran toward the direction the scent was coming from.

"You think she would still be there?" Alice asked as she walked together with Alex and Ann.
"You think she would leave the place that was built by her Master?" Ann raised a brow as she questioned Alice.
".... I guess not," Alice replied but then they saw Alex stop as he smiled and opened his arms wide, ready to catch something or someone.
Before both of them could ask what happened, they heard a scream filled with delight which caused them to smile automatically.
"MASTER!!!!!" The same black-furred wolf that fought the lion a while ago jumped at Alex.
It was Noctura, of course.
"Time to go home, pup," Alex spoke with a smile as he caught Noctura in his arms.
Noctura's forelimbs were placed over Alex's shoulders and her face was right in front of Alex's which she started licking.
She was just so happy to see him again.
It had been hard for her to stay sane without her Master close to her.
