Chapter 1: Rebirth as a Lion, Starting from Self-Discipline

The setting sun was like blood.

Looking at the endless Savannah and his own furry forelimbs that clearly didn't belong to a human, Chen Mo felt a wave of desolation, feeling that his life as a lion was hopeless.

He was no longer human.

Instead, he was a two-month-old Little Lion.

"I just downloaded a self-discipline game on Steam; I just started it, so how did I stop being human!"

After a casual complaint, Chen Mo began to think about the biggest problem he faced—how to survive!?

When he woke up, he had also gained the original memories of the Lion Cub.

The Lion Cub he had been reborn as was a newborn in a certain Lion Pride on this Savannah, but because he was born with a disability in his hind legs, he was rejected by the entire Lion Pride.

Since he was young, his brothers and sisters wouldn't play with him, his mother only gave him the least amount of milk, and his Lion King father never even spared him a glance.

Because on the Savannah where the strong prey on the weak, disability meant weakness, which meant an inability to survive, and that one could die at any moment.

Although the Little Lion tried his best to survive and integrate into the Lion Pride, he remained an outsider.

This afternoon, after he fainted from hunger, the Lion Pride finally chose to leave quietly.

They abandoned the little fellow in this peril-filled Savannah.

"I still have to find the Lion Pride first!"

There was no time for sorrow or lamentation; after some thought, Chen Mo made his decision.

This was his only chance to survive!

The Savannah at night hid countless dangers.

Even if he were lucky enough to survive, without mastering hunting skills, he would eventually starve to death!

Without the protection of a Lion Pride, a two-month-old Little Lion had absolutely no way to survive on this Savannah!

"It's evening now; the Lion Pride should find a place to rest, and it definitely won't be too far from my current position."

Thinking this, Chen Mo took a deep breath.

He was identifying the scent left by the Lion Pride to confirm the direction to take.

Under the setting sun, a skin-and-bones Lion Cub began to "run" stumblingly across the Savannah.

Then, the next second—

Thump!

Chen Mo, who hadn't yet adapted to his new body, fell face-first onto the ground.

Hunger, pain, disability... the discomfort coming from all over his body after the fall made Chen Mo deeply realize that he was currently weakened to the extreme.

Presumably, the original Little Lion had slowly died in this kind of despair.

"No, I have to... survive!"

Ultimately, a strong desire for survival in his heart made Chen Mo stand up and continue to run forward with a limp.

Just as Chen Mo began to gradually adapt to this Lion Cub's body.

Suddenly,

A somewhat illusory Grayish-black panel suddenly appeared before his eyes—

[The self-discipline challenge has begun. Please choose one of the following three challenges.]

[Complete the self-discipline challenge, and you will obtain the corresponding title.]

[Challenge 1: Clean Lion (White)]

Persist in bathing three times a day for 7 days.

[Challenge 2: Berserk Lion (White)]

Persist in walking over 20,000 steps every day for 7 days.

[Challenge 3: Rampage Lion (White)]

Persist in sprinting for 2 hours every day, with a running speed of no less than 30 km/h, for 7 days.

Blinking his eyes and confirming it wasn't a hallucination, Chen Mo's originally cold heart finally felt a sliver of comfort.

Good news: The cheat is here!

Bad news: He was about to die... After a quick glance, Chen Mo soon chose the Berserk Lion challenge and then continued to run across the Savannah.

He felt the Clean Lion challenge wouldn't be very helpful for his current situation, and the Rampage Lion challenge was simply impossible to complete.

More importantly, these three self-discipline challenges were at least 7 days long; whether he could even survive for seven days was still a question!

The most important thing right now was to catch up with the Lion Pride!

He didn't know how long he had been walking on this Savannah,

Until the embers of the setting sun completely faded from the distant horizon, until night's Descent and the bright moon hung high.

Chen Mo felt his consciousness becoming blurred; his body was already numb, and now it was purely his Soul driving his body forward!

Fortunately, the scent left by the Lion Pride was also getting stronger!

Almost there!

Just a little more!

Finally, at the point of complete exhaustion, Chen Mo saw a group of lions sleeping in all sorts of strange positions under the shade of a tree not far away.

He had finally found the Lion Pride!

But he knew that the test of survival might have only just begun!

——————————

Two minutes ago.

Lion Pride territory.

The Lion King and the other lionesses were already fast asleep.

Only one lioness kept her eyes open, looking at the vast night in the distance, seemingly waiting for something.

She was the biological mother of the lame Little Lion.

She was waiting for "Little Cripple."

The Lion Pride's abandonment of "Little Cripple" was actually a test.

If Little Cripple hadn't caught up before dawn, they would leave.

If "Little Cripple" couldn't prove he had the ability to survive alone on this Savannah, then it was better for him to die early.

This was the Law of this Savannah!

Her breast milk and the Lion Pride's food were limited.

If this disabled Little Lion drank more, his other brothers and sisters would drink less.

Animal instinct made her choose for more offspring to survive!

But—

She was, after all, "Little Cripple's" mother.

Beside the lioness, most of the Little Lions were sound asleep; only one Little Lioness with golden fur was like her mother, gazing into the distance in anticipation.

She was "Little Cripple's" older sister, a sibling from the same father and mother.

Previously, when the Lion Pride was preparing to leave, she had swiped at Little Cripple, trying to wake him up, but unfortunately, "Little Cripple" was sleeping too soundly, so she had to leave with the Lion Pride and her mother.

Suddenly, a yellow figure appeared in the Little Lioness's field of vision.

It was none other than her lame younger brother!

The Little Lioness subconsciously nudged her mother, only to find that her mother had already noticed "Little Cripple," her eyes flickering.

Although the lioness had been waiting for "Little Cripple."

But in her heart, she didn't think Little Cripple could survive and find the Lion Pride.

Calling it a trial was actually already giving up on Little Cripple.

But unexpectedly, a miracle occurred; "Little Cripple" had actually found the Lion Pride!

————————————————

Seeing the only lioness awake in the Lion Pride, the bond in his Bloodline made Chen Mo instantly realize she was his biological mother!

Without any hesitation, the Little Lion limped toward the lioness.

He had hadn't eaten for a whole day; if he didn't eat soon, he would die!

He could only take a gamble now, praying that the lioness would be willing to nurse him!

To Chen Mo's surprise—

This time, the lioness did not reject him as she had in the Little Lion's memories.

She only glanced at him with a loving gaze, then slowly lay down, letting him drink milk.

Chen Mo didn't drink too much; once he felt the hunger dissipate, he stopped feeding.

He was afraid that drinking too much would make him choke or cause resentment from the lioness.

After drinking his fill, Chen Mo began to walk briskly near the Lion Pride.

Each of his steps was very small, but the frequency was surprisingly fast!

The Ultimate Pitter-Patter!

That's right, Chen Mo had begun today's self-discipline challenge!

Thirty years east, thirty years west.

Do not look down on a lame Lion Cub!
