Again, thank you for reading SWS!
I'm not sure how well this is going to work or not, but I'm gonna try it anyway.
I originally uploaded this story first on Wattpad, and they have the option to add images and links, which I took advantage of. I would have done the same here, but the upload system is different and the direct links from Google Docs are apparently not compatible or something.
Anyway, what I want to do here is share the links to a few videos/pictures that involve some of the things mentioned within the story, especially those that involved the characters.
Faline, for example. The noises that she makes while in her feline form. Ocelots have very deep voices and can come as a shock to those unsuspecting. The 'zombie' noises Faline makes within the story, can be heard here:

The other more common vocals I had her doing were the 'no no no' talking. The video of a cat doing this can be seen here, but just imagine it being done with the ocelot pitch instead of a housecat:

Kinda freaky when you think about it, huh?
For Xavier, the maned wolf, a canine that despite its name isn't a wolf at all, has a 'roar-bark', and can be seen & heard here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QMAWpuzGdE&feature=emb_logo
Not the most glorious of tones, is it?
Other tones mentioned in the story was his 'talking', and this is what that sounds like:

Aside from those and a few others, this animal is actually pretty quiet overall, unlike the man himself.
Another male in the book, Nicolaus, also has a misleading animal; the cougar. While the mountain lion is a very large cat, it can make some adorably small squeaks, heard here:

Most commonly heard when calling kittens to their mother, Nico uses it to mock and annoy Faline. Their purring as well is quite loud, and really does sound like a motor engine.
There's one more I'd like to share, Benjamin, and his Bengal tiger. This is where you'd swear the Creators mixed up the cats as these guys don't purr at all, instead make a 'chuffing' sound that signifies their mood:

When Benji's tiger is first called within his office and laying practically in Kierra's lap, these were the tones that came from him.
Even though my book is a Fictional Dark Fantasy, there is a lot of fact mixed in with it. All the information shared that is animal-related was all researched and based on truth. The only things that got tweaked were some colorations.
I really hope you enjoyed reading! Please leave any comments or questions you may have and I'll be happy to answer!

Reborn as a DRAGON
My name is Tim, or it was until I died. There was no light at the end of the tunnel, no white room to choose any cheats from, nor was there any meeting with God. I didn’t die heroically while saving someone, and I certainly didn’t get hit by a truck. My death was rather stupid and anticlimactic, I had apparently bumped my head while sleeping and passed away... That should have been the end of the road for me, but like many self-proclaimed main characters, I joined the army of multi-dimensional travelers and was reincarnated. Being an avid light novel and manga reader, I would have been excited about the opportunity, if not for my new siblings, who tried to kill me as soon as I was born, or for my mother, who seemed to have a thing for throwing me off cliffs. And let’s not forget my murderous father, who forced me to flatten a small country as my Rite of passage. Oh, did I mention I was reborn as a Dragon?

Braza the Architect - Magical Crafter, Builder, and Adventurer!
This is the story of an older man who lived a hard but full life, being reincarnated into a fantasy world as a human-lizard hybrid. The new world is violent, magic is real, a game-like development system crushes physics and natural law under its ambivalent thumb, and myth and legend don't just meet, they chase you down to eat you.Follow Braza as he tries to make a very different life for himself in a familiar but ultimately alien world. In this story the protaginist will not just be a muscle bound monster. He is not a proper hero, willing to sacrifice himself for the good of a stranger, but neither is he a maniacal villain. He is trying to survive, and he is trying to give himself and those he deems himself responsible for a seat at the table of the"goodly", the "civilized" races. He is trying to create a secure home for his people, to arrange beneficial trade agreements, explore ancient ruins, decipher ancient runes, push the boundaries of magic to create a better life for everyone around him, to learn about the history of the world and the multiverse, and ultimately attempt to become powerful enough to take on a being that even the gods themselves fear. This is my first story and it blends many different elements and styles. It's a bit darker than most of what I have read on Royal Road, but even with that, I hope you give it a try, and I hope you like it!
