"This afternoon, we will have a biology class in the classroom."

At this point, Elaine placed the giant bird specimen she was holding on the podium.

Then he raised his head again and addressed the people sitting below.

"As you can see, the Shatak bird specimen in my hand is the subject of our study in this class."

In fact, since coming into this world and being selected as a player to continuously participate in various game instances.

Gu Xinghe also gained a considerable understanding of this world through the many books in the Rose Manor.

Madness, repression, eeriness, pollution.

It is something that is constantly being born in this world, yet it can never be completely destroyed or erased.

It wasn't just the Rose Manor he had experienced, or the Doom Tavern and Dawn Boarding School in the Enlightenment Empire.

The legendary kingdom of Arans, built on the sea.

A misty town that lost all its residents overnight.

A demon painter who captures the soul of the subject in his paintings.

In the far north, there is a desolate snowfield inhabited by snow spirits.

The ruins of a mechanical kingdom that exist without any written record.

The man-eating crystal ice coffin buried beneath the White Rose Mansion.

The Holy Spirit Tree is said to have existed for ten thousand years.

An unmanned ferry drifting on the vast ocean.

...

All kinds of buildings, animals, objects, plants, and even... people.

Various terrifying and bizarre legends and tales circulate around the world.

It could be a dangerous reality, or a bizarre fantasy.

Since the ancient gods fell into slumber.

Perhaps because of the unknown nature of dreams, this world seems to have become increasingly bizarre and fantastical, born from the dreams of the sleeping gods.

Despite having a considerable amount of knowledge about some of the strange rumors surrounding this world.

Gu Xinghe had to admit that he had never heard of such a giant black bird.

However, even though he had never heard of it in this world, he felt a sense of familiarity with it.

Especially when Elaine mentioned its name—the Shatak bird.

In his memory, he felt that he should have a vague impression of the strange-looking bird in front of him.

Yes.

That's a mythical creature—the Shatak bird.

This must be something he had heard in the world before he transmigrated—

The Shatak bird is the giant bird creature that appears in this myth.

Before his transmigration, Gu Xinghe didn't know much about myths and legends.

However, his physical and mental abilities have been continuously strengthened.

Memories that were once just vague impressions are now slowly becoming clearer.

Based on what he had roughly browsed at the time—

"The appearance of the Shatak bird is basically similar to that of a bird."

Meanwhile, the Shatak bird has a head like a horse and wings like a bat.

Its body, which is even larger than that of an elephant, does not grow feathers, but is covered with a layer of scales.

Their wings and skin were very dirty.

The pebbles and frost clinging to them make the black wings of the Shatak bird appear to have many irregular spots.

Their calls are extremely harsh and shrill, like scraping glass, and can cause severe discomfort.

At this moment, Elaine's introduction matched Gu Xinghe's memory of the account one by one.

Like the Shatak bird model that Elaine brought to the classroom that he had seen.

Aside from the possibility that its size was reduced due to inconvenience in carrying it.

Without a doubt, the Shatak bird in this world is largely similar in form to the one Gu Xinghe is familiar with.

In addition, according to mythological accounts, the Shatak bird is a giant flying creature that appears in dream realms.

"It is said that the Shatak bird is a giant bird that travels through dreams. And because of its huge size, it is often used as a mount."

Elaine spoke in unison with Gu Xinghe at that moment.

As Elaine said this, she also took the bird specimens from the podium.

Then he walked to the middle of the seats below and gestured for everyone to reach out and feel the texture of the Shatak bird.

In the world before Gu Xinghe's transmigration, when making this type of large specimen.

Due to the cost and difficulty of production, the materials used cannot possibly be real biological body tissues.

Most of these biological specimen models are not allowed to be touched.

The materials used to make them are basically the same type of hard material that doesn't need to consider the realism of touch, but only the ability to fix the shape.

However, contrary to previous understanding, the shattak bird model specimen in front of me feels extremely realistic to the touch.

The shatak bird's wings are covered in scales, not soft feathers.

When Gu Xinghe touched the filthy skin of the specimen in front of him, the fine scales gave him a cold feeling.

He could even feel the uneven sand and gravel under his palm.

Following the body downwards, you can see the Shatak bird's two powerful-looking gray-black claws resting on the edge of the table.

It was as if they were about to launch a fierce attack on the enemy in front of them.

The shattak bird model specimen in front of me is so lifelike and incredibly realistic.

It seemed as if it was about to unleash its unpleasant and piercing cry at any moment.

This also makes one wonder about the specimen model currently placed before them—

Was it made from the skin of a real shatak bird?
