Powerless Boy is reborn as Lustful Elf

At first glance, the small puppy sleeping at the doorstep seemed harmless, innocent, even. Its body was curled up into a fluffy ball, tail twitching slightly with every soft snore it released. For a second, Alex almost laughed. This was the terrifying behemoth the system warned him about?

Then the air grew cold.

Without warning, a pulse of mana rippled out from the creature. The puppy’s body began to twitch, its soft form convulsing and expanding at an unnatural speed. Bones cracked. Flesh warped. And within seconds, the adorable little ball of fur was gone.

In its place stood a monstrous canine, several feet tall and easily the size of a full-grown horse. Its body had transformed into something grotesque, fur now coarse and shadowy, eyes glowing with a deep crimson glare.

But the most striking, terrifying feature was its head: grotesquely oversized, grotesquely wide, and on its upper lip jutted a single enormous fang, thick and curved, descending all the way down past its chin like a hanging dagger of bone. It dripped with saliva, which hissed as it hit the ground like acid on stone.

The system hadn’t been joking. This thing was a behemoth.

The beast locked eyes with Alex, growled, a low, guttural sound that rumbled through the earth, and began to stalk forward, each heavy pawfall leaving impressions in the soil.

Alex instinctively took a step back. His mouth felt dry. His breath quickened.

He gulped. "Okay... now you look like a behemoth."
