Reincarnated As A Wolf With Cheats

Soon after eating the delicious scorpion, Shin started to return. He nearly puked after seeing all the shadow wolves eating the meat of the hellhound king.

Shin still acted like it didn't affect him a bit and proceeded to wait for everyone to finish their meal. After all, it was rude and irritating to get interrupted between a meal.

After everyone finished their meal they all started to walk inside death valley in hopes of finding the heavenly wolf family.

They didn't ask or talk much as Shin merely announced about their departure a few seconds ago.

Although Deoras thought that it would have been best to rest outside so that they could pass the entire night, Shin made a bold statement saying that the shadow wolves would be stronger at night, so they had nothing to worry about!

The chit-chat continued until they entered Death Valley.

As soon as they entered it, silence enveloped the place. No one spoke and continued to walk forward. Logically this should have given a peaceful vibe but for some reason, it was giving them all, a kind of horror and creepy vibe. Especially after they all heard the story about the wandering ghost of the desert from Deoras. Not to mention that the place was so silent that even the sound of the wind blowing was heard.

It wasn't completely dark. When the hell hounds died the mysterious black clouds covering the moon disappeared too causing the moonlight to meet with the ground. And if that wasn't enough source of light, there were red stones which would Shine when the moonlight fell on them.

Deoras was also a bit scared but looking at Shin, who was completely stern and not scared by the creepy vibe, he too regained his composure. Little did he know that Shin wasn't stern but was completely stiff. He was a person who was very scared of ghosts. He hated ghost stories the most and if someone started to tell a horror story then Shin would most probably laugh at it off saying that the person is childish and the story is childish too but he would be screaming in horror inside.

At that moment one of the shadow wolves stepped on a thin stick that was just coincidentally lying around and since the place was completely silent the sound of the stick-breaking echoed throughout the place.

Well…

If it was a stick, then the sound couldn't have been that louder…

It was a bone! A piece of bone!

The hellhounds that had probably hunted some beast left the bones around. After being around for quite some time, the bones seemed to have become quite weak and due to the pores on them, they easily broke – needless to say, some made loud echoey noises when they broke in the silent valley.

All the wolves except Shin and Deoras screamed in horror.

"Damn, why are you all so scared!? It's just a piece of bone!"

"Look at his highness, you should be like him!", Deoras said to the rest of the wolves in a dominating voice.

All the other wolves looked at Shin with admiring expressions. So little did they know that Shin was so scared that he just froze in place as his heart skipped several beats. He probably would have gotten a heart attack if Deoras wouldn't say that it was just the sound of a remnant bone breaking.

Shin then gulped a large amount of saliva as he continued to walk. As all of them started to walk ahead, Shin suddenly started to feel someone's presence. It was someone not from Shin's group.

His heart started beating faster as he imagined that it might be a ghost or some stuff such as that. He felt the weird presence getting closer and closer to him and when he felt the presence very close he quickly turned his head only to find Deoras and the shadow wolves.

Shin inhaled and exhaled deep breaths for a minute before telling the wolves that he will be at the back of the group ensuring that they don't have to face any sneak attacks. The other wolves didn't question Shin and did as they were told to. Deoras was walking at the front while Shin was walking at the back while trying to feel that mysterious and weird presence once again.

He wasn't so foolish that he would believe in ghosts – that is if he was in his previous world where the concept of magic remained dormant.

In this place, where he freely uses many skills and grows stronger, the possibility of ghosts existing was high – well, in the previous world or this, the possibility of them not existing was never zero!

Regardless, Shin then once again felt the weird presence. This time, he was almost sure that someone was following him.

Shin quickly turned his eyes, trying to catch the stalker. While he did perform the act of turning his head back swiftly, he didn't exactly expect to see anyone as he strongly believed it to be just his instincts ticking in the wrong way due to the silence, but to his surprise, he did see something. Something that shocked him to his core.

Behind him was a semi-transparent wolf. It was as if Shin could see the wolf's insides. It was without any bones, lungs or internal organs. It was weirdly smiling at the Shin.

Realising that Shin has spotted him, the wolf's smile grew wider as it said cheerfully.

"Um, hello?"

"…"

"…"

The wolf said with a smile to which Shin's eyelids twitched. He quickly stuck his tongue out of his mouth and then proceeded to lick his eyes making sure that he didn't see anything wrong.

Or wait was this one of that hell-hound king's illusions?

Shin suspected it to be an illusion so he quickly activated his all-seeing eyes so that he could confirm whether it was an illusion or reality.

But unfortunately, it wasn't an illusion.

It was real.

A Semi-Transparent Wolf stood in front of him, staring right at him!

"…"
