📘 REBORN AS THE BLUE-EYED WHITE TIGER

I Awakened the Ultimate Beast Blood System

Arc One — Birth of the Blue-Eyed White Tiger

Chapter 1 — The Cage That Forged a Monster

---

Silence.

That was the first thing I felt.

Not peace—only emptiness.

Deep and vast, as though the world itself had stopped breathing.

Then came a hum.

Soft. Distant.

A steady pulse, like a heartbeat muffled beneath layers of water.

Darkness pressed against me.

Not the gentle darkness of sleep—

but the suffocating weight of something alive.

Cold liquid flooded my lungs.

I tried to scream.

Nothing came out.

My thoughts were sharp—too sharp for a body that refused to move.

I'm alive.

The realization struck harder than fear.

I remembered dying.

A hospital bed.

A beeping monitor.

Then silence.

So why—

My eyes snapped open.

Blue light swallowed my vision.

I was suspended inside a transparent chamber, floating in a glowing liquid that shimmered like liquid crystal. Strange runes pulsed along the glass walls, radiating a faint, rhythmic glow.

My body felt wrong.

Heavy and weak—utterly unresponsive.

For a long moment, I couldn't move. I could only watch the blue light ripple around me.

Then it hit me.

I wasn't grown.

I was a baby.

Panic surged—but my small body refused to obey. My limbs barely twitched as my mind raced far faster than they could follow.

I looked around.

Dozens of identical chambers hovered in the darkness. Inside each floated an infant, silent and still. Every one of them bore a white tail, faintly striped with black—tiger-like, swaying gently in the liquid.

My breath caught.

Slowly, I became aware of something behind me.

There it was.

My own tail.

White fur glimmered beneath the blue glow, drifting behind me.

The sight both calmed and unsettled me.

Before I could think further, exhaustion dragged at my consciousness, threatening to pull me back into darkness.

But then—

Something changed.

Pressure bloomed inside my skull.

> [Beast Blood System online.]

The voice echoed directly within my mind.

Cold.

Mechanical.

And faintly distorted.

My vision flickered as a translucent blue screen formed before my eyes—unstable, glitching.

> [Compatible host detected…]

[Synchronization in progress…]

The screen sharpened.

[Bloodline Synchronization: 100%]

[Race: Blue-Eyed White Tiger — Pure Form]

Pain erupted.

Not in my flesh—

but in my soul.

It felt as though something ancient was tearing itself awake inside me, forcing its way through every fragment of my being.

The chamber began to shake.

Blue light flared violently as energy surged through my body. The liquid vibrated, waves rippling outward as arcs of azure lightning flickered around me.

For an instant, my reflection appeared on the glass.

Not human.

A small white tiger cub—veins glowing blue, lightning coiling around a fragile newborn frame.

Agony tore through me.

But alongside it—

Warmth.

Strength.

Life.

The energy inside me spiraled wildly, like a newborn storm on the verge of collapse.

I screamed.

A sharp, primal cry that echoed through the chamber.

Then—

BOOM.

A violent shockwave exploded outward from my body.

Cracks spiderwebbed across the glass as the runes flared to life, desperately absorbing the excess energy to stabilize the chamber.

[Warning: Host body integrity at critical threshold.]

[Emergency suppression activated.]

The system's messages fragmented, the screen flashing red as if it were breaking down from within.

The storm inside me was crushed—forced down, sealed away.

> [Status: Incomplete Awakening.]

A weakened interface flickered before my eyes.

Pain returned—worse than before.

Like a creature denied the right to breathe.

Veins ruptured.

Bones cracked.

Organs compressed—damaged, but not destroyed.

My cells began to break down, my body threatening to dissolve into raw energy.

Something inside me tried to tear itself free—

—and whatever it was, it screamed as it was violently forced back.

Backlash.

A fading roar echoed inside my mind.

The blue liquid around me turned crimson.

Alarms flared as red light flooded my chamber.

> [Healing in progress…]

The system's voice sounded distant.

I was barely conscious—too close to death to even form a coherent thought.

The chamber reacted instantly.

The liquid was pulled into my body like a vortex, repairing shattered flesh and reforging broken veins.

Alarms blared louder.

The fluid level dropped at a terrifying speed as the chamber struggled to keep me alive.

> [Body Reconstruction: Initiated]

Blue flames engulfed my body, burning like an inferno—whether it hurt or not, I couldn't tell.

From within the flames—

Azure Beast Scales formed.

The fire condensed, the scales locking together, sealing me completely inside a cocoon—like a shell meant to contain something dangerous.

My consciousness wavered, vision blurring as weakness drowned every thought.

More liquid surged in.

Vital signs—once plummeting—stabilized.

Then—

Darkness swallowed me whole.

The last thought that echoed through my mind was raw and desperate.

Am I… going to die like this?

NO—

Something ancient answered instead.

A primal roar tore free from the depths of my soul.

A beast that refused to be caged.

A beast that rejected fate itself.

The roar sent pressure rippling outward, cracking the glass around me.

Even as darkness claimed me, one truth remained—

I would not submit.
