Chimera Rising: Human and Lion

He was supposed to die when a lion leaped for his throat. Instead, he woke up inside one. And that's only the start. When Earth is transformed by a mysterious System and Dominic somehow ends up sharing a lion’s body with its original owner, survival means learning exactly what their new body can become — together. Even if the lion has opinions.  Labelled an Anomaly, a mistake that will be eliminated unless they can prove they deserve to exist, Dominic and his mental companion are already on the back paw. But being an Anomaly has its advantages. Every hunt, every fight, everything that almost kills them is an opportunity to grow — to adapt their body to better fit their new reality, unlock new abilities, and become something the System never planned for. And if Dominic plays this right, his new life might even offer him the recognition and success he’s dreamed about since he was a child. Just...not quite how he’d imagined getting it. Assuming he and Leo can stop fighting long enough, that is. Leo wants a pride; Dominic needs to find his father. And the newly transformed world isn’t going to wait for them to come to a consensus. What to expect: - A human and lion sharing one body - Monster Evolution - mutations, new abilities and increasingly non-leonine anatomy - Action, hunting and survival - An Evolution system that rewards how Dominic acts, not just what he kills - Pride-building and inter-species leadership - Character-driven progression and found family - Occasional dual POV- Not your usual (eventual) harem. (Note, several people who are usually anti-harem have said that they would be OK with it in this context so even if you're normally put off by them, consider giving it a go anyway).
