Beast Hack: Customizing Beasts and Capturing Beauties

Lucius smirked as the two sisters glared at each other, waiting for him to decide.

He let the silence stretch a little longer, just to make them squirm.

Then, without warning, he raised his hand and pointed.

Straight at Luna.

"It's your turn."

Luna blinked. Her lips parted slightly. "…What?"

Loreia burst out laughing. "Oh this is beautiful."

Luna turned to Lucius, frowning hard. "Why me, Master?"

Lucius didn't stop smiling. "Seniority."

He walked toward her, casually placing a hand on her shoulder.

"You've been with me the longest. You were there when we were still in the previous world."

"You and Liora—you're my two blades. Liora's already Divine-tier. It's time for you to match her."

Luna's brow twitched.

"I've already done everything you asked. I've won battles without fighting. I've silenced nobles with a sentence. I—"

Lucius raised one finger, cutting her off.

"And that's exactly why you're going first. You're the leader of this castle when I'm not speaking."

"You're the voice behind my silence. You should be the strongest among the three."

Luna stared at him, her jaw tight, but she didn't speak.

She couldn't.

Lucius was her master.

Loreia leaned in from behind, grinning.

"Come on, Shadow Queen. Time to catch up to the rest of us."

Luna shot her a glare. "Enjoy this while you can. You're next."

Loreia smirked. "Oh, I want to be next."

Luna looked back at Lucius. "…Fine. I'll be hacked first."

Luna turned away and began walking. She didn't flinch, didn't argue again.

But her hands were clenched.

Loreia followed, still smiling.

"Want me to hold your hand during it?"

"Shut up," Luna muttered.

Lucius just watched them go, eyes glowing.

The first upgrade had begun.

---

Lucius sat alone in his room, arms crossed.

The room was quiet—sterile, polished, precise. Just how he liked it.

Then the door opened.

Luna entered without a word, her steps silent.

She stopped in front of him, expression blank, but her eyes betrayed a flicker of tension.

Lucius looked up and smiled faintly. "Summon your beast."

Luna didn't hesitate. "Understood."

She lifted her hand.

A swirling silver portal opened beside her.

From its depths Loxen—the Silver Shadow Panther—appeared. Silent. Graceful. Deadly.

The creature entered without sound.

Its eyes scanned the room once before landing on Lucius.

Lucius stood slowly, stepping forward with his usual calm confidence.

"It's been a while," he said, eyes meeting Loxen's.

"You've grown sharper."

Loxen narrowed its eyes slightly, then turned to Luna.

The stare it gave her wasn't one of confusion.

It knew.

Luna exhaled quietly, her lips tightening. She gave a small shake of her head.

Loxen frowned—ears flattening, tail swaying low.

A quiet rumble of discontent built in its chest.

Then it let out a low sigh, as if bracing itself.

Lucius chuckled softly. "So it understands. Good. That saves us time."

He stepped closer, placing a hand on Loxen's head.

"You'll survive, and when you're done… you will become an entirely different beast."

Loxen's body tensed.

Lucius looked at Luna.

"And you—don't try to stop the pain. You need it."

Luna nodded once. "I know."

Lucius returned to his system, smirking.

"Let's begin."

The room darkened.

And the hacking process began.

---

Lucius rubbed his hands together, eyes glowing with anticipation.

"Let's do this, shall we?" he said, voice low and excited.

He turned to his system, entering a rapid sequence of commands.

"System, evolve Loxen into a divine-tier beast—same existence class as Leon."

"But let it embody the Silver Moon instead of the Silver Sun."

He leaned closer.

"Also... integrate war simulation protocols."

"Everything Leon has—knowledge, tactics, instincts—compress it into a one-hour sync."

"I want nothing left untouched."

He looked to Luna, then back at the screen.

"And hack Luna to receive the same cultivation effect as Liora."

"Her body, her soul, her synchronization—perfectly adapted to Loxen."

Lucius's grin widened.

"Make Loxen's stats all hit full SS-Rank. Right now. Everything. No bottlenecks."

"Compress the entire process into one hour. One divine evolution. One divine sync. No mercy."

Loxen let out a deep, shaking roar as its body surged with wild elemental power.

Luna dropped to her knees, gripping her chest as her bones cracked and reformed under the forced evolution.

Her breath caught—then she screamed.

But both collapsed before they could feel the worst of it.

The simulation seized them.

Their minds were hurled into an endless battlefield.

One year of death, strategy, and survival compressed into a single, unrelenting hour.

Their bodies twitched violently.

Lucius smiled as he watched them.

"They can't feel it yet as their minds are deep in the simulation."

"Their focus is surviving that battlefield... not the one inside their bodies."

He stepped closer, watching their divine transformation.

"But once they return, the pain will catch up."

He raised a finger, pointing lazily at the surging bodies.

"It'll hit all at once. The shattered bones, the torn muscles, the nerve override, the elemental realignment…"

His smile sharpened.

"Boom."

He said it so casually, like an afterthought.

But there was pride in his voice.

Unapologetic pride.

He turned away from them and walked toward his chair.

"It's the price to be strong."

He sat down and crossed one leg over the other.

"I'll see you in an hour," he said to no one in particular.

Then he closed his eyes and waited.
