Chapter 116: The Brontes Island
The Brontes Island... hof the Lychos Clan, rulers of the werewolves, and seat of kings and queens... was
where the King’s Castle stood tall and proud, and the royal court of the werewolves was held.
In ancient times, when werewolves were scattered across the world in different packs and constant pack wars
plagued them, Alexander Brontes Lychos, the first king of the modern werewolf society, began his conquest. He
united all werewolves under one banner and formed the Great Council, comprising the ten most powerful clans,
each with a distinct role in society. After countless years of suffering and war, the werewolves finally found unity
and peace under his rule.
After that final war, the werewolves began to live as a civilized society under strict yet welcomed rules. But
Alexander's efforts didn’t end there. He reached out to other supernatural beings and co-founded the
Supernatural Council with none other than the Vampire King, Vlad Dracula Tepes.
Their efforts were acknowledged by the World Tree, Yggdrasil and the dragons. As a gesture of appreciation,
several pocket dimensions were granted to them... safe havens where supernatural beings could live without
disturbing humanity. The supernatural community was then tasked with guiding human civilization toward a
sustainable future. Though noble in intention, this task proved difficult. Humans, with their self-destructive
tendencies, were never easy to guide.
The Brontes Island Itself becthe primary base of the Lychos Clan. Yggdrasil gifted a pocket dimension to the
werewolf king and erected a barrier of natural phenomena around it... primarily violent thunderstorms, to keep
outsiders away. The island beca sanctuary, and its significance grew over time. Those in the Lychos Clan
who awakened the ancestral power of lightning were granted the middle n"Brontes," and the island was
named in their honor.
Before the magnificent castle was erected, the island was mostly barren... only the towering Thunder Mountain
and sparse vegetation filled the landscape. Legend says the first ancestor of the Lychos Clan received his power
from Thunder Mountain itself. At its heart is a fossilized thunder stone, a relic that enhances the power of the
Brontes bloodline.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLiving on the island is not for the faint of heart. Continuous thunderstorms rage above Thunder Mountain,
creating a tingling sensation in the air that unsettles most visitors. But for members of the Brontes Clan, it is
simply part of daily life.
Storms surround the island, making entry nearly impossible for outsiders. Though it doesn’t appear on any
human maps, sships have occasionally wandered too close. They are always forced to retreat after
encountering the fierce storm front.
The only way to reach Brontes Island safely is by using special thunder-resistant ships crafted by the Lychos Clan
or through air travel in their custom helicopters. These helicopters are piloted by clan members who know the
location instinctively, guided through the thick clouds without needing coordinates.
Visitors and guests must coordinate with the Lychos Clan in advance. The clan then dispatches a helicopter to
pick them up from the nearest airport.
When the island becthe king’s domain, the Lychos Clan constructed a magnificent black castle worthy of its
royal stature. Surrounding it, they built homes and halls. Each of the ten Great Council clans was granted a plot
of land to construct a temporary residence.
All ten clans of the council have built villas on their own lands, which they use when visiting Brontes Island or
when attending the king's court. Although the castle has a separate guest area reserved for them, the heads of
the larger clans often prefer to stay within their own domains.
The Raynor Clan purchased sof the surrounding land from the Lychos Clan to expand their villa grounds.
Now, their estate includes a spacious villa, servant quarters, a large pond, several gardens, and a farmland
where crops unique to Brontes Island are cultivated. From the beginning, Raynor Clan Heads have preferred to
spend their vacations here in peace, which is why these arrangements were made. However, Fiona enjoys
traveling the world, so she visits the villa only when necessary.
Other clans could also purchase land, but all ownership remained subject to Lychos Clan authority. The island, for
all intents and purposes, functions as an independent country governed by the King’s Clan.
The largest land parcel outside the royal holdings is controlled by the Warlord Clan, responsible for the military
might of the werewolves. They were granted a connected smaller island, considered a part of Brontes Island,
often referred to as "the cantonment."
The Lychos Clan commands its own military, formed of its members and loyal vassal clans. These vassals,
originally from different parts of Greece, were the first to join Alexander's cause. They were relocated to the
island from the start and now make up its foundational population.

Larger clans with direct quotas to the Other World do not rely on military paths. But for smaller clans, this
remains their only path to ascension.
As these thoughts swirled in her mind, Fiona’s helicopter approached Brontes Island. From above, the first thing
she saw was the awe-inspiring sight of Thunder Mountain. Bolts of lightning licked the sky, their thunderous roar
echoing across the land.
