Kelin was part of the first researchers to arrive with the guilds first expedition to the new land. As a monster biologist he was very excited about entering this very new ecosystem with so many previously undocumented monsters that maybe have never been seen before.

Due his introverted nature and occasional dislike for fellow humans Kelin mostly went by his own. Studying the new wildlife.

But he started to become sick, what exactly this sickness was, and where it did came from, he was never able to find out. But it's symptom's came slow, but didn't get better. Even with time and the best medications available.

Around the same time, when further getting into the uncharted area of this land, Kelin found the ancient and mostly abandoned city of Wyveria. A breathtaking, withering but still absolutely imposing abandoned center of a once the thriving Civilization.

Unfortunately his condition only worsened with time and his genitles had to be amputated due to a narcolepsy caused by the unknown sickness.

But Kelin continued what his hearth loved: researching, watching monsters and studying.

Inside Wyveria, he began to find scrolls and writings talking about the weird liquid called Wyvern milk, originating from the dragon torch, a mysterious energy source in the center of the city.
While also watching and examining the guardian monsters, monsters created by the ancient Wyverians long ago.

His condition only worsened, but one day, in one of the cities libraries, Kelin found writings about a forbidden ritual. A ritual allowing the reincarnation and occupation of a deceased body, a ritual utilizing the mysterious regenerative abilities of wyvern milk.

Kelin began to prepare, for a hope to make sure of his own survival, but also a unbearable curiosity about this ritual and the capability of wyvern milk. Which seems to have toxic properties towards humans, but not monsters.

In one of the buildings once used for experiments of such kind, he filled one of the pools with the white organic liquid, trying it first on a decreased small monster body he found.. and yes, the small body began to breathe again, it's circulation kicking back in. The decay of the body disappearing and it's eyes opening.
But, another observation, which the old writings also mentioned, it was now an empty husk. While it was able to fully regenerate the dead body, it was not capable of restoring the creatures being, it's memories and personality, only an living empty shell with only reflexes.

According to the writings, adding a living being to the ritual, would cause their consciousness to be pulled from their own, and implanted into the dead bodies head upon regeneration.

Everything was prepared now, with Kelins health becoming very dire, it became hard for him to walk, specially as he was searching for a body.. Kelin was dire, but he couldn't get himself to ever kill a monster for this selfish desire.. finally he found one. A young adult Royal Ludroth, passed away by one of the rivers in the areas not too far from the city. Why did it die? He didn't know but the body was in a very good conditions.
It took the terminally I'll man almost 4 days to drag that corpse back to the city. But finally, it was ready. Kelin pushed the big heavy body into the white liquid... Before stepping in himself.. not knowing if this will really work.

The moment's after felt like nothing, not even sleep.. pure nothingness.
But suddenly! It was as if a knife lodged into his chest, panic came over him! His senses went crazy, hallucinations, pain fear, panic. Kelin did not know what was happening. Wyvern milk filled his lungs, they burned and he felt like he was suffocating. Desperately he tried to run, to crawl out of the pool, but some of the Wyvern milk had hardened to his body, pulling on him as hard strand's, trying to get him back into the pool. Everything went worse, he saw faces, desperately fought to take a breath and flee. His mind was in absolute terror, voices, faces and things touching him everywhere! Finally the strands snapped! But the torment continued! Was this the punishment? For trying this forbidden ritual or the monster who owned this body desperately trying to take it back? Did the gods want to torture him and then let him die? Kelin finally pulled himself out into the open.. but the nightmare still going.. suddenly an unimaginable pain shot through his cheat, making him scream, but only gurgle. That was it... Kelin felt the life flee from him.. he was just gonna die.. after experiencing the most horrible thing in his life.... Finally it all went dark..




Warmth.. a comforting heat laid itself over his body, Kelin opened his eyes slowly, feeling tired.. wait.. not dead?
The torture he just felt, it was gone, it all was just gone. Everything felt right suddenly.. but he felt strange.. his mind was clear, clear enough again to look at himself and explore himself... It has worked..
He felt so big and heavy.. Kelin noticed that, he had opposable thumbs.. something Ludroths lack and this body for sure did not have beforehand. It must have been the wyvern milk... Furthermore this body seems to posses more human like vocal cords, allowing him to talk, although with much practice..

In a nearby river he finally saw himself... His new self... himself, that what he is now. Also realizing Kelin might not fit soon much anymore..
While he had a new body now, Kumuar knew, it hadn't changed himself. Wanting to research, learn and study was still the thing he desired most of all. As a monster himself now he was capable to get even closer into the ecosystem of monsters.
