Hero of Darkness

Chapter 10: Let the Hunt begin

Who could this be other than Kahn?

Elric's new body.. Now Kahn was something he always dreamt of and wanted to have in his ideal standards of a physical body. He was 6 feet 3 inches tall, normal white skin tone same as his previous life. He had an angled but somewhat wider jaw. His face was well proportioned and very handsome. He had bulging muscles and 6 pack abs. Unlike his previous life, this time his hair color was completely black and not brown. They were smooth, soft and wavy. His hair was done from the right side from his perspective. They were long but not till his shoulder length long either. His eyes were black, unlike his former life where they were blue. It was to not stand out or being assumed as someone from a particular region because blue eyes were always the most noticeable part of particular countries or regions. Black hair & eye color was very universal on the other hand.

Author : Take down notes boys. If you want 6 pack abs without working out, all you have to do is commit suicide and get reincarnated.

Thanos : A small price to pay for salvation.

His built was very balanced. His upper body had wider shoulders and big arms, his chest was big enough to align well with his built. His forearms were well proportioned as well while the legs matched that of an athlete.

From his appearance, he looked around 25 to 26 years old. Someone who would have a bodybuilding background or someone who trained for Gymnastics.

His facial structure was something that would be very striking no matter where he went. He chose to base it on the combination of both Bruce Wayne aka Batman & Dick Grayson aka Nightwing, two of the most handsome fictional characters he ever came across in his past life. Not too manly but not too handsome either. That way he could look like someone not to be messed with and not too broody or serious either. So both younger & older people could approach him.

He chose this age & build because of many reasons. Mainly because he didn't like or more likely detested stories where MC is reincarnated inside a 15 years old kid who somehow can stand toe to toe against adults & people who trained for their entire lives thanks to the almighty Plot Armor.

He was 30 years old in his former life for god's sake. Naturally, he wouldn't want to look like a kid again. And 30 or more would also make him look like a middle-aged person which would stop him from entering some places or mix in a circle of youngsters. So 25 was the ideal age for appearance in his opinion.

Kahn was brimmed with life and joy. He could finally feel the sensation of having a body again. He could feel the chill in the air and the breeze going past him. He smelled the earthly scent in the air. This was the time of early morning so the sunrise brightened up his surrounding. He took a deep breath and finally felt alive. He didn't know how long it had been since he died on Earth. Maybe years or decades, or even thousands of years. But he didn't care about that now. This was going to be the world he would live in from now on. This was his second chance at Life.

"Wait, I don't have a single cloth on my body." Kahn exclaimed and suddenly shouted looking towards the sky,

"You damn cheapskate of a God! You couldn't even give me some clothes? God of Darkness my ass! They should call you God of Beggars instead!" Kahn said furiously. God of Darkness was very pitiful.

But he quickly came to terms with it. It wasn't the most important thing now.

[Well, based on average story pattern of a Reincarnation Novel & Mangas. I will soon find some lone traveler in the jungle who is being chased by monsters or some Princess who is either being attacked by bandits or have people chasing after her. Which one will it be?] Kahn spoke to himself and started looking around.

But in the next moment, he heard a very grim and deathly growl from behind him. And the Survival Instinct ability kicked in. Giving him goosebumps on his entire body. The growl felt like it belonged to some wild beast.. A predator at that. Kahn turned his head around and saw what was standing just 5 meters behind him.

3 giant Wolves, around 7 feet tall. Their eyes were completely red and their pupils looked like they were focusing on their prey. 2 of them had a mix of black and white fur while the one standing in the front had completely Red fur. It looked like it was the Leader of the pack.

These 3 wolves were prying at Kahn, trying to gauge how strong their morning breakfast was. To their surprise, Kahn was already having beads of sweat falling from his forehead. All he could do is say one word..

"FUCK!"

Amidst a vast and dark green forest, a naked man ran without the care of having onlookers like an exhibitionist.
