Zurut was known as the most charismatic Prince in Moonfang.
He was the son of the Lion Beast King Lionel and his mother, who used to be a renowned knight serving the royal family.
He was proud of his amazing speed, unmatched even to his father.
His mother was part of the knights that served the royal family, and because of this, she fought in several small wars and skirmishes, some of the decisive for the future of Moonfang, such as the conquer of smaller feline nations.
In the past, the King before Lionel had ordered the 'unification' of all feline nations into Moonfang as the 'true and only nation for all feline beastmen', although his words seemed to have a great meaning on his citizens, they were nothing but selfishness, as they wanted more citizens, especially those that were weak enough to be easily suppressed into slaves, so the Kingdom could have more work without having to pay them or feed them properly.
Zurut's mother was part of a caste of felines named Cheetah Beastmen, which were known for their slim bodies and incredibly fast speed. She fought in wars and gained dozens of merits, defeating the leaders of the enemy armies with her speed and by attacking them from behind.
Due to her recognized talent and also outstanding beauty, she was taken by Lionel as one of his concubines, which was seen as an 'honor' at that time.
She could not really refute the King himself, and she gave in to him, after several weeks of intercourse, she was pregnant and then gave birth to Zurut a few months afterward.
Zurut was a unique child, a mixed breed of Lion and Cheetah, and also seemed to have awakened an affinity with the Thunder Attribute, which he used to enhance his natural speed to even greater heights…
Although Lionel was impressed at first by Zurut's interesting potential, he was quickly bored of him and shifted his attention to making even more children.
Zurut's mother was then left alone to raise her child inside the castle, where she met other concubines of Lionel and their children.
Unlike Catrina's mother, Zurut's mother was always kindhearted and good-natured. She loved her son even if he was seen as 'boring' or 'uninteresting' by Lionel. And she raised him properly, teaching him the values of a strong and fast warrior, she passed down all of her techniques, spells, and other skills to him and raised him into an impressive and outstanding young man… but she died not much after Zurut turned ten years of age due to an untreatable illness that affected the Cheetah Beastmen.
Many other Cheetah Beastmen died due to this strange illness that attacked their lungs, leaving only Zurut as the last of them carrying their bloodline… he wondered why he wasn't taken by the illness, and by some doctors or alchemist that were investigating the issue, it was due to being not a pure cheetah and having a stronger and less fragile physique than Cheetahs, as he had Lion's bloodline as well.
Zurut was devastated as all of his people died, only leaving his father and his strange siblings as the only family.
His mother that had given so much to him died one night while caressing his ears… and he could only cry, feeling powerless.
After many days of lamenting the death of his mother, he found courage once again after remembering all the words of praise and motivation that his mother always told him.
He had inherited most of her strength and abilities and strived to become a strong warrior that could make her proud, and recognized by his father and oldest siblings.
He trained and trained, becoming faster and faster… He sometimes thought about becoming so fast that he could travel through time and met his mother again.
He fought in several skirmishes and even participated in a small war against a beastmen nation alongside his siblings, where he took the head of one of the commanders. And since then, Lionel finally realized that he existed.
Zurut was recognized by his father, and was slowly getting where he aimed for… all to make his mother proud, to become the fastest prince in Moonfang, and even, perhaps someday, a King.
Due to the lack of love from his mother, after she died, Zurut always seeks the love of other women, and slowly became a charismatic young man that was always looking for cute girls, and was known for this throughout the entire Kingdom, gaining himself the 'Womanizer Prince' Title.
Always surrounded by beautiful women desperate to have some connection with the royal family, he grew more confident in himself, but due to this, his heart grew rotten and he became too selfish… to the point that one day, an unfortunate event came to his life.
Feeling more confident in himself, he traveled to a dungeon and fought the dungeon boss, thinking that he could finally beat it by himself… but he was wrong.
The dungeon boss was resilient, and even with Zurut's speed to help him evade, he was overwhelmed by the boss and had his feet broken.
The bones and the muscles were pulverized by the giant Golem, and he almost died if it was not because some guards accompanied him, which carried him back before he was to die pathetically, getting too ahead of himself.
As much as he tried to recover his feet, it was impossible, no mage was capable of completely regenerating his shattered bones, which had become almost dust, and his muscles were made into mashed flesh.
However, there was the hope for recovering, if he could grab a special tonic, a Rainbow Elixir. A Legendary Rank Item dropped in high leveled dungeons after defeating a boss and receiving an item called 'Reward Loot Box', there was a small chance of this item appearing when opening them.
There was one such potion in the Kingdom's treasury, but his father denied him, saying that 'it would be wasted on him'.
Zurut fell into despair.
Without his legs to run, his major strength… how could be possibly become the same as before?
He was slowly becoming but a husk of his former self, pretending to be charismatic and happy… but he was badly depressed.
He even considered killing himself several times, only finding comfort in his mother's words.
One day, as Zurut was trying to use some prosthetic limbs that failed terribly, he fell to his knees over the ground.
His face was expressionless and his eyes lifeless… he was tired of trying…
When he finally thought that he was reaching somewhere in his life, he got ahead of himself and committed a terrible mistake, now his future was doomed to be someone that cannot even walk by himself.
However, as Zurut lost all hope, an entity emerged from within the floor… it spoke to him through the darkness of the night.
It offered him back what he most treasured, his legs.
"Can I… really get them back? But it's impossible…" muttered Zurut.
"Lowly mortal, I am Geggoron, a Demon God. I can give you your legs back, but you must give up your soul and body to me, become the vessel of my will" said the entity, Geggoron.
Zurut was utterly hopeless and was already giving up on his entire life, whatever this entity was, it offered him something that he dreamed of since that fateful day. He accepted without doubting if this was real or just an illusion of his own mind.
"I accept…" he said.
The moment he accepted, the entity entered his body and possessed him. He felt a cold entity rushing through his insides and touching his very soul, merging itself with it.
He felt a bit of pain at first, but then, something miraculous happened. A Divine Energy emerged from within the entity and slowly moved itself to his legs… and they grew back.
The bones and flesh that were amputated slowly reappeared, they tore apart the skin that grew over the wound, the pain was nothing to Zurut compared to the happiness he was feeling right now.
The bones emerged like tiny branches of a sapling, then the veins and muscles appeared, surround the bones, and then… the skin, fur, paws, and claws.
Zurut glanced at his feet and touched them several times, but they were back, he had finally recovered, and it was all thanks to this entity.
"Geggoron-sama, thank you, thank you!"
Since that day, he became one of Geggoron's first apostles, and through the schemes and intoxication of Geggoron, he slowly became cunning, infesting the rest of his family with Geggoron's split souls, cooperating with the likes of Catrina.
As his entire family was possessed by the same entity now, everyone recognized each other's talents and there was no discrimination, everyone worked together for the same goal, serving Geggoron.
Until a being named Kireina appeared, with its strange powers, it brainwashed the entire capital of Moonfang and then confronted him and his family alongside her strange allies.
Although they worked best together, they were forced to separate.
Zurut was incredibly fast and planned to meet back with his family at all cost, but he was surprised and caught inside a domain, where only two mischievous women stood in his way.
He still had a bit of his womanizer behavior… and could not help but stare at their beautiful bodies. A Half Dragonoid Succubus woman and a dazzling and pink Fairy girl.
"Oh? I see how it is, so we are all getting trapped in different spaces, so all of you can dispose of us as efficiently as possible? Such cunning rats!" said Zurut, provoking the enemy side.
However, the one that laughed was the half Dragonoid Succubus lady with an incredibly voluptuous and erotic body, with pale blue skin, scarlet and golden irises, and long purple hair made into drills, she seemed to be dressing in a gothic and erotic suit, resembling a bit of a royalty's dress, but clearly way more revealing, she wielded a long and dark lance with bat-themed decorations.
"Ohohoho! What do we have here? So, are you our opponent? Zurut… or something, was it?" she asked.
"So, you even know my name? How much did that Kireina investigate about us…? She had never visited this Kingdom and she knows my name and even how I look?!" said Zurut.
The beautiful fairy girl accompanying the Half Dragonoid Succubus lady, who had pale pink skin, long butterfly wings dazzling with yellow and pink colors, and an innocent beauty akin to an untouched princess spoke with a worried tone.
"Err… Aunt Acelina, I don't think it's a good idea to provoke the enemy like that," she said.
"Oh? I am not provoking or anything, I was just asking! If he gets all angry, then he is clearly an idiot! Ohohoho!" laughed the Half Dragonoid Succubus Lady, Acelina, as she waved her scaled tail around playfully.
"Agghh! What are you two talking so leisurely about?! I am going to beat you two to death and then get out of here!" shouted Zurut.
"Oh? What a badmouthed prince~" laughed Acelina.
"Aunt Acelina, he's doing something-"
Flash!
Suddenly, yellow lightning emerged from within Zurut's entire body, charging all of his body with it. He ran through the ground and in a split of a second, he was already behind Acelina, raising his daggers.
"This was quite the short meeting, you shouldn't have lowered your guard, heh," laughed Zurut, approaching his dagger into Acelina's throat and cutting it straight, like a hot knife going through butter, blood began to flow from the large wound.
"Aaghh… Uggh…!"
Acelina began to struggle to breathe as she lost more and more blood, falling to the ground, becoming paler.
"Hah, that was way too easy! …Eh?"
Zurut glanced at Acelina's struggling to survive but was baffled after seeing her turn into pinkish and yellowish magic dust.
"Wait… Illusi-"
Clash!
Before Zurut could finish his words, the real Acelina appeared out of nowhere from the 'background' of this space, raising her spear and unleashing a conjunction of Techniques and spells, blowing Zurut through the air with a powerful dark force.
Zurut even ended up biting his own tongue as he was hit in the middle of his speech, the light armor covering his torso was pierced and large holes appeared on his back, flowing with rivers of scarlet blood.
"Uugeeeehhh…!"
Clash!
Falling to the ground, a large crater appeared, Zurut started to vomit blood as he felt his lungs pierced, struggling to breathe…
"I-Illusion Magic…?! Are you kidding me?!"
