Beast Authority System

Luke opened his eyes and found himself in a forest—a strange one with trees that had grey leaves instead of green. He groggily sat up and looked around. There, he found his stepmom unconscious not far from him.

He crawled toward her and found her twitching on grey grass with her face contorted in pain. Concern immediately flashed in his eyes.

"What's happening? Sarah, wake up."

Luke shook her and kept shouting for her to wake up, but nothing seemed to work. The worst part was that she appeared to be in even more pain.

Luke was about to ask the system when he heard bones crackling. He glanced at Sarah, and her body was going through a weird transformation.

She started shrinking as her bones changed form, and black hair began growing on every inch of her body. Luke hurriedly retreated and watched in awe and disgust as the transformation took place.

'Is this the reason the system told me not to choose any male person? No, that wouldn't make any sense. There's more to this than just that, but what's happening to Sarah? Is the same thing going to happen to me? What the hell is going on here?'

So many questions ran through Luke's mind, but instead of answers, even more questions kept piling up. He might have read some web novels and known of these types of scenarios, but experiencing this firsthand was disorienting. He wanted nothing more than to go back home to his room and play his video games.

But he couldn't go back. Even if he could, he would die along with those he left behind. He became sullen just as Sarah's transformation finished.

He stared in awe as Sarah woke up and lifted her head toward him. Luke was rendered speechless, staring into the cat eyes belonging to Sarah's new form.

The cat Sarah stood up on all fours and towered over Luke, who was on his ass. Cat Sarah regarded him with a note of curiosity, both fawning and predatory.

Though speechless, Luke strangely didn't feel any fear. He was a little annoyed by the predatory look Sarah gave him, as he felt like he was being looked down upon, but there wasn't any fear.

He rose to his feet and matched cat Sarah's predatory gaze, exerting an aura of Authority over her. The aura felt elusive, intangible, empowering, and strange. Luke felt power coursing through him—a power he wasn't certain he could truly handle.

This power filled him with the greed to make everything in the world submit to him, yet at the same time, it filled him with the weakness to submit to it. This power gave Luke an adrenaline rush, making him thirst for more of its energy. But although Luke had never encountered this kind of feeling before, at the back of his mind, something told him not to submit to this power.

In accordance with that thought, he slowly walked up to the shivering Cat Sarah, who was backing away from him. Seeing her reaction, Luke suddenly smiled and thought, That's more like it.

He instinctively outstretched his hand toward Sarah and commanded in a deep voice with an unfamiliar language.

[{Submit to me}]

Cat Sarah stopped in her tracks and shivered as a connection between the two of them formed. A strange runic circle appeared around them, then burst out chains that immediately pinned down Cat Sarah, who was trying to resist.

Luke's eyes shone with weird patterns in them, and the chains burrowed into Cat Sarah and became one with her. Then everything went back to normal, and Luke immediately fainted on the ground.

In the eerie silence of the grey forest, both Luke and Sarah were going through a qualitative changes, witnessed by no one thanks to a barrier placed by the system.

[Ding~ Congratulations, Host has transmigrated successfully and was exposed to primordial energies along with your chosen, Sarah.]

[Ding~ Warning: Host's chosen is mutating into a Beastial Creature, a side effect of being exposed to primordial energies unprotected. But worry not—with the Host's Beast Authority, all the Host needs to do is tame.]

[Ding~ Congratulations, Host, for taming your first beast. You have awakened your Primordial Lust. From now onwards, you'll advance through the exchange of bodily fluids with your tamed beasts.]

[Ding~ Due to your chosen mutating into a lesser Primordial Cat—Nyxara Besst with partial authority over the Night, and thanks to your taming, she's undergoing a quantitative mutation. She is becoming something else. You have advanced to a Rank 5 Warlock.]

[Ding~ The price for using your Authority is mating. With each use of your Authority and the limited aether energy you have, you'll have to mate with each of your tamed. This is the reason you couldn't bring a male chosen to this world—unless you swung that way.]

After however long, Luke was finally woken up by the system notifications, which repeated the same messages over and over. He expected to feel weak and disoriented, but instead, he felt refreshed.

He stretched his limbs as he read and listened to the system notifications. When he read the last message, he immediately decided to reform himself and endure a lifetime of celibacy.

"Fuck that, I'm not having sex with a Cat or any beast. I mean, what the fuck is the system saying—that in order to tame a beast, I have to partake in bestiality? That's just wrong. I'm not fucking doing that."

As he spoke, Luke felt his body becoming warm and his temperature increasing. He looked down at himself and saw his manhood growing in size, hardening, and ready for some action.

"So that's how it is, huh? I refuse to do your bidding, and I'm forced down the path of aphrodisiac? Well, it doesn't matter. I will even castrate myself rather than commit bestiality. You hear that, system? I'm not fucking a beast!"

"Mhm, honey, where… are we?"

Luke instantly looked to his side and saw his stepmom trying to rise to her feet. He gaped in shock, and the heat coiling around his manhood increased, making it as hard as the strongest steel back on Earth.

"System, I was just kidding. M-maybe bestiality isn't that bad…"
