There were three main continents in the Beastman World: the South Continent, the Mid Continent, and the North Continent. The South Continent is technically a place where the sun never rises, making it a place where most of the nocturnal beastmen reside. It was also the place where the Goddess Ayla used to be imprisoned. However, we have no idea how she got free from her restriction. The Mid Continent was where most of the normal beastmen like us resided. It is the biggest continent since it occupies more than half of the world. Lastly, the North Continent was a place where ancient races lived since it was the place where the sun never rested. There was no regular beastman in the North because there was a barrier that separated the North Continent from the Mid. There were only a few ancient race beastmen who could pass through the barrier, since the higher their power, the harder it was to pass through. Each race usually forms a tribe in their territory, but there were groups of bea

Tora held my hand from under the table, squeezing it lightly while caressing it a few times to comfort me, so I suddenly came back to my senses. I looked at her and saw that she was confused about my reaction but still worried about my gloomy expression. "I see. How about the god named Sephtis?" My brother asked. "Oh, The god of death. There were tales that he was the real father of one of the twin goddesses, and it was in fact his curse that made the twin goddesses fuse once in a while, causing chaos on our lands. He threw it as vengeance for being defeated by his twin brother named Lev," Jael responded while feeling a little frightened. "Wait! Did I hear it correctly? You said Lev?" Dillon asked abruptly. "Yes, you did. His name was erased all throughout the history of the Beastman World, but my ancestors have never forgotten the name of the first ruler, even after his death. Would you like to hear the tale of the origin of our world?" Jael asked. They all nodded eagerly, so I

We were allowed to stay in Jael's house while we were still in the process of making paper and translating the engraved text on the Ancient Stones. I guided them all throughout the process of creating paper, despite my discomfort dealing with all the males around us. Lowell made a suppressant that can lessen my sense of smell to prevent myself from feeling extremely nauseated every time any male was at a close distance. It also acts as a calming medication that lessens my anxiety over the presence of males, though it is still inevitable for me to suffer from my phobia when a male touches me, even if it is just accidental. The females around us were so obsessed and curious about me that they kept swarming around me. They might have thought I was a male. They even tried to give me a lot of fruit while I was working with all the males on making paper. Even Falla did the same despite being interested in another male. She was the other daughter of Aja and had a crow beastman named Hroc.

Tora helped me walk back to my room immediately when they arrived. The sun was already setting, so it means that I was in the closet for at least three to four hours. It only makes sense that all of them were so worried after I disappeared suddenly."Ari, are you okay now? I went to the storage room earlier with Centaurus to check on you, but we didn't see you," Tora asked worriedly while helping me to settle on my bed."I-I'm not s-sure—I-I'm s-sorry," I apologized while trembling with anxiety.I couldn't get myself to tell them about what I heard earlier. My mouth was sealed, as if something was blocking me from saying a word."No, Ari. It's not your fault. I shouldn't have let you drink the suppressant so that we can still sense your location within the village," Lowell uttered while gritting his teeth out of regret.I wanted to tell him that the suppressant helped me prevent a bigger problem since I was not caught eavesdropping earlier, but I had no strength to explain the situatio

I tried to calm down as I hugged my body and gripped my arm to stop myself from trembling excessively. My chin was shivering despite all the effort. My mask, cloak, and gloves were already removed. They also changed my clothes into the night dress I made for myself, so I felt cold and shivered easily on the slightest gust of wind. I can see the worried look in my brother's eyes as he places a thick pelt around my shoulder, being careful not to touch me directly. "Jael's daughter called Tora to the pavilion," Blake replied, his expression a mix of concern and confusion as he looked at me. "Brother, why did you let them go alone?" I asked my brother in a panic. "Macan is not a fool. He can protect her sister, despite being unable to communicate properly," my brother defended, despite being baffled. Suddenly, loud steps began to echo from the hallway. It was Aja and Jael's subordinates who were all filled with fright on their faces. "Help us! N-Nyala—she suddenly fainted in front o
