Leon stood at the edge of a vast canyon, staring down into the dark abyss below.
This was it.
The location of one of the first Beast Legacies in the world—The Tomb of the Primordial Beast.
In his past life, this place was discovered years after the game's release, when players were already powerful. By then, the inheritance had long been claimed by a powerful guild, preventing others from obtaining it.
But now?
He was here first.
And he was going to claim it before anyone else even knew it existed.

The Descent into Darkness
The canyon stretched for miles, its depths shrouded in unnatural darkness.
Leon took a deep breath and jumped.
The wind howled around him as he plummeted, his cloak whipping in the air. Before he could hit the ground, Nyx slithered out from his shadow, extending its long serpentine body to soften his landing.
Leon landed without a sound.
The air was thick with the scent of decay. The deeper parts of the canyon were untouched by time, sealed away from the outside world.
And that meant—something powerful still lurked here.

A Forgotten Trial
A massive stone door stood before him, covered in ancient carvings of beasts long extinct.
Leon reached out, pressing his palm against the stone.
A deep rumble echoed through the canyon.
The trial was about to begin.
> [Warning: You have entered the Tomb of the Primordial Beast.]
[Trial of the Ancient Guardian will now commence.]
The ground beneath him shook.
And from the darkness—a beast emerged.

The Guardian Appears
A pair of glowing amber eyes flickered in the shadows.
Then—it stepped forward.
A massive tiger-like beast, covered in obsidian-black fur with streaks of molten gold. Its muscles rippled with terrifying power, and every step it took sent shockwaves through the ground.
Leon's breath slowed.
He recognized this creature.
> [Infernal Fangbeast]
[Grade: Epic]
[Level: 80]
An apex predator that had existed since the dawn of this world.
And to claim the Beast Legacy… he had to defeat it.
Leon's lips curled into a grin.
"Come."
The beast roared, and the battle began.
