The Curse of Sentience

Unlike the other beasts of the Wilds, BunBun’s bloodline bore a unique trait: SENTIENCE. With each passing generation, they became more aware of the world around them, their humanoid features growing stronger, their intellect sharper. BunBun’s strength and agility were unmatched, but it was the sharpness of its mind that set it apart—a blessing and a curse that left it ostracized from both man and beast.

BunBun lived in solitude for years, guarding the remnants of its ancestral ruins. It was said that the glowing red eyes and streaks of fiery orange fur were the marks of an ancient blessing—though the scars across its body told a different story. Every inch of BunBun was a testament to battles fought to defend a home that no longer needed defending.


Aaron stumbled upon the Shadowed Wilds during one of his brutal campaigns to expand his influence. His gang had sought shelter after a devastating ambush, but the forest offered no respite. One by one, Aaron’s men began to disappear, their screams echoing in the darkness. Aaron, ever the fearless warrior, ventured into the ruins to face the unseen threat.

What he found was not a mindless beast but a creature of unparalleled strength and intelligence. BunBun fought with precision and ferocity, testing Aaron’s might like no one else ever had. The battle raged for hours, both warriors bloodied and exhausted. In the end, Aaron’s resilience and BunBun’s curiosity about the fiery barbarian led to an unspoken truce. Instead of finishing one another, they sat in silence under the eerie glow of the Wilds, bound by mutual respect.


Aaron saw in BunBun not just a creature of great power but an ally unlike any other. BunBun, weary of solitude and intrigued by Aaron’s ambition, agreed to leave the ruins behind. The two formed a bond forged in blood and battle, with Aaron treating BunBun not as a tool or a servant but as an equal. The gang, at first skeptical of their leader’s new companion, quickly came to respect—and fear—the towering hybrid. BunBun’s presence alone could turn the tide of battle, its ferocity matched only by its loyalty to Aaron.


BunBun became more than just Aaron’s pet it became a symbol of his unrelenting power. Stories of the “Beast of Veridion” spread like wildfire, solidifying Aaron’s dominance over his enemies. Rival leaders spoke in hushed tones about the towering hybrid with glowing red eyes, and many surrendered without a fight at the mere sight of it.

But for all its fierceness, BunBun had a softer side that only Aaron knew. Late at night, when the fires of battle dimmed, the two could often be found in quiet reflection. Aaron would recount his dreams of conquest while BunBun listened, its glowing eyes betraying a wisdom far beyond its years.


Unbeknownst to Aaron, BunBun carries the burden of its ancient lineage. The ruins it once guarded hold secrets that could reshape the balance of power in Veridion, and whispers of others like it still roaming the Shadowed Wilds continue to grow. While fiercely loyal to Aaron, BunBun’s past remains a mystery even to itself, and the day may come when its forgotten legacy calls it back to the shadows.

For now, Obunmi Bunbeiji fights at Aaron’s side, a loyal companion and protector. But in the ever-shifting world of Veridion, even the strongest bonds can be tested.
