Reborn on Selection Day: Giving Birth to the S-Rank White Lion

By the time I was reincarnated, Chloe had already thrown herself into the arms of the snake shifter.

"Chieftain Gideon, I choose Jared," she announced.

After speaking, she shot me a provocative glare, her eyes filled with absolute determination.

I understood right then that she had been reincarnated too.

Chloe and I had figured out the survival rules of the beastworld continent by our second month of living here.

Male beastmen were divided into four distinct ranks from birth: S, A, B, and C.

The higher the rank, the more noble the male was considered.

Among them, C-rank beastmen were the most common, B-rank beastmen were considered valuable, and A-rank could be described as exceptionally rare.

As for the S-rank, even the elderly Gideon had never witnessed one in his entire life.

Females were outnumbered by males here; though they relied on the males for protection, their social status was significantly higher.

A female's status depended entirely on reproduction to elevate herself.

The higher the rank of the children she birthed, the higher her standing in the tribe became.

In our past life, Chloe was dead-set on becoming the number one female in the tribe, choosing Garrett without a single hint of hesitation.

Because I was terrified of pain, she had suggested that I select the snake shifter.

"Though snakes possess two members, they carry eggs," she had urged. "Laying eggs is significantly easier than birthing live children."

I had listened to her advice and chosen the snake shifter, Jared.

After I mated with Jared, I became pregnant very quickly.

Not only did I give birth to ten offspring in a single litter, but every single one of them turned out to be an A-rank beastman.

Our tribe had existed for a century, and even with the most generous estimates, there had never been more than five A-rank beastmen in its history.

Gideon immediately declared Jared as the next tribe chieftain.

Meanwhile, Chloe, who had become pregnant at the exact same time as me, gave birth to a mere B-rank beastman.

Refusing to accept defeat, she went on to bear four more consecutive litters.

They turned out to be either B-rank or C-rank.

Believing the fault lay with Garrett's inferior genetics, Chloe snuck into Jared’s bed in the dead of night.

To her surprise, Jared was flawlessly loyal to me; he kicked her out of the bed instantly and summoned the entire tribe to prove his innocence.

Upon discovering the truth, Garrett flew into a violent rage, choosing to dissolve his mating bond with Chloe immediately.

He subsequently kicked her and her remaining children completely out of the tribe.

Without males to provide care, it was incredibly difficult for a female to survive in this world.

Consequently, in less than a month, all of Chloe's children starved to death.

During that period, Chloe turned her attention toward the C-rank beastmen, hoping to form a new mating bond with them to return to the tribe.

To her dismay, while their lifestyle was primitive, the local mindset made it incredibly difficult to accept a female who had committed infidelity.

They were only willing to mate with her, but absolutely refused to form an official mating bond.

When Chloe was on the verge of starving to death, I brought her back to my cave out of familial affection.

I kindly provided her with meat to eat, yet she harbored nothing but intense jealousy toward my elevated status in the tribe.

She publicly twisted the heads off my ten snake pups before pushing me directly off the mountain cliff.

As the memory resurfaced, the weightless sensation of plummeting still seemed to linger across my body.

Compared to the physical agony, my heart ached far worse.

Now that Chloe had finished her selection, Gideon signaled that it was time for me to make my choice.

I scanned the remaining beastmen before pointing directly at Garrett.

"I want to choose—"

Before I could even finish my sentence.

Smack!

A sharp slap descended heavily across my face.

"You b*tch, how dare you try to steal my male!"
