My gaze shifted upward, seeing a pair of black fox ears. 'So.. he's a fox beastman...'
My gaze drifted behind him. He also had a tail—
I blinked. "…Wait."
There was another one.
And another.
And another.
I blinked again, harder this time. Maybe my vision was glitching.
'One…' I counted silently.
'Two… three…'
My expression slowly died.
'Five… seven…'
My soul quietly packed its bags.
'…Nine.'
Nine tails.
I stared at them.
Then at him.
Then back at the tails, just to confirm they were still there and I wasn't hallucinating from lack of oxygen or excessive stress but they were still there, swaying slightly.
Soren being a dragon was already a lot to process in life, but this? This felt like the universe was collecting mythical creatures like limited-edition figurines and just throwing them into my path for entertainment.
"…What in the mythology is this?" I whispered, because my brain had officially downgraded to basic functions only.
