My World Traveling System: The Harbinger of Death

-----

The vast jungles of Greenwild covered several kilometers across the northern regions of where Westwind formerly was, it was a beautiful and vast wilderness covered by large jungle trees and deadly beasts roaming the place. This giant jungle was cataloged as a Danger Zone by most of the general population of the Nation of Abraddon, although there were also people living here.

Not only beast-kin lived here, however, unlike the over-concentrated beast-kin population of Westwind, there were also Elves in here, alongside some subspecies of Dwarves known as Brownies and Gnomes, who were very close to the wild and nature.

Additionally, other groups of intelligent beings were more like monsters, known as Dryads, although Brownies and Gnomes called them spirits of nature rather than monsters.

Frank browsed the large jungle from above as he decided to descend with everyone else, exploring the vastness of the place. It was such a big jungle it completely dwarfed Abraddon's divine realm, and there were so many cries of distinct bird and monkey animals and small monsters that it seemed to generate natural background music.

Frank and Clishya immediately knew where the town was as Frank had used his divine senses and scanned the entire place in an instant, while Clishya had memorized the path she took, so she decided to guide everyone across the jungle.

The floor was filled with wet dirt and there were sometimes a lot of mud puddles and colorful mushrooms, the trees erected high above, sometimes they were covering the light of the sun from reaching below a lot.

"Such a beautiful place, it is nice to come out sometimes," said Gwendolyn.

"W-Woah… this is the first time I am actually traveling elsewhere," said Orb.

"Isn't it nice? A big world to discover! Right, Aztraloth?" asked Axitl.

"Erm, yes, my lady… Though do I need to take upon this form?" wondered Aztraloth, who had been forced to shapeshift into a tiny one-eyed octopus to not call too much attention.

"Well yes, you can't take a humanoid form, and your appearance would have scared the people!" said Axitl.

"Sorry about that, Aztraloth," said Frank.

"Well, it is fine… I can see that some have it worse," said Aztraloth, as he glanced at Abraddon.

Of course, if Abraddon were to come as he was, he would scare to death most people… literally, they would most likely fall to their deaths out of pure horror and surprise. It wasn't that he was ugly… but he was ugly, after all, he was a giant chimera and seemed rather frightful.

But as a God, similarly to Axitl and Orb, he was able to shapeshift and take into a human form of his liking and imagination, so after a lot of decisions and being forced by his sister, Thineas, he ended taking upon a humanoid form.

"Ah, it is so uncomfortable to be in this humanoid form… I feel like I am tightened all over this skin layer… I want to be bigger!" cried Abraddon.

"Relax for a bit, will you?" sighed Thineas.

"Hahh… Okay, I will…" sighed Abraddon. His appearance was that of a youthful man, probably in his mid to late twenties, of a similar age in appearance to Thineas. His skin was chocolate-colored, and his eyes were heterochromatic, with yellow-gold and emerald colors. His body was not as muscular as a bear or something, as he was quite slim, with long hair that reached up to his shoulders, silky and blonde, he resembled a beautiful young man that could conquer the hearts of many young girls… Frank could already imagine him as some kind of idol if he were on Earth's Japan.

"He really looks so different, I can't believe it is Abraddon-sama!" said Cathyl.

"Yeah, he's such a handsome man," said Hilvera.

"I-Indeed… But don't let that appearance trick you, Hilvera, he's a giant chimera god!" said Annabelle.

"Ngh… Can you two little girls stop reminding me of my appearance? It is… already tiring to have it," sighed Abraddon. He was way too used on his giant chimera form, as he felt it was his "true form" where he felt the most "release" and "freedom"… But in this form, he felt compressed and caged within his mortal flesh appearance!

"Haha, I think you look pretty good, Abraddon. Have some more confidence," said Frank, patting Abraddon's shoulders as he suddenly jumped in surprise, and one of his arms turned into a giant tiger arm coated in bug's exoskeleton!

"Agh…! Don't surprise me like that, or my appearance gets out," he sighed, shapeshifting back his arm.

"O-Oh… You have to practice more, you seem even more unstable than Axitl, man…" sighed Frank.

"I know… I know… I should have practiced this whole time, but I didn't want to waste energy, now that I can finally have enough self-recovering energy, I can do this freely, but damn I need more practice, a week wasn't enough…" sighed Abraddon.

"Hehe, I believe you look very handsome, Abraddon-sama," said Clishya, being gentle with her ancestor. Like a little granddaughter praising her grandfather for being still an energetic man.

"Ah, you flatter me, Clishya… This form doesn't feel like my real one, it feels as if I was wearing a mask…" he sighed.

"Hm, but it is the best to talk with your descendants, right?" asked Clishya.

"Yeah, yeah!" said Thineas.

"Yes… it is," sighed Abraddon.

"Papa, is this the chimera?" asked Vritra, who was sitting over Frank's shoulders like a spoiled papa's boy.

"Ah, yes, dear, this is Abraddon, the big chimera," said Frank.

"Ooh! I can also transform! Into big dragon!" said Vritra.

"Is that so, little one?" asked Abraddon, as he distracted himself a bit with Vritra's cuteness.

"Yes! And I go gaoooo! And I eat a lot of yummy beasts! Are you yummy?" asked Vritra.

"Eh?! N-No… I am not yummy," said Abraddon, as he felt a bit scared by the boy's crimson-red-eyed gaze… he seemed more like a predator…

"Oh, by the way, around here… Ah, there! That's the dungeon I told you about, Frank!" said Clishya, as she pointed at a sudden dungeon entrance that everyone found in the middle of the road, it seemed to be decorated with statues of beast-kin, so it was cataloged as a "sacred place" by Greenwild's tribes.
