In this world, humans were divided only into beastmen and sub-beastmen.
Beastmen could shift between beast form and human form; they were strong, powerful and skilled at fighting and hunting.
Sub-beastmen kept human form but had partially beast-like features such as claws, ears, and so on.
Compared to beastmen, sub-beastmen had less physical strength, but they were patient and meticulous, which is better suited for tasks like gathering and cooking.
The young girl she had seen in the white mist dream was a sub-beastman of the Ur-Shet Tribe.
She's eighteen years old this year and also had the same name as her.
A few days ago, while gathering, he had accidentally fallen off a cliff and hit his head, failing to survive.
Her modern soul, by sheer chance, had taken over his body.
Remembering what he had told her in the dream, she turned her head toward the crying little boy.
"Haeun?" Her voice was hoarse from dehydration and what came out was not modern language, but the language of the beastmen.
Come to think of it, the words the white python spoke before she fainted were also beastman speech.
She just didn't notice it due to being too overwhelmed.
"Sis, I'm so glad you woke up! You scared me to death!" The little boy with round black bear ears sobbed as he apologized, "Sis, I'm sorry, I'll never sneak out to hunt again!"
Having received the original owner's memories, Hayoon quickly understood the situation.
The beastman world differed from her original world. The people here grew up and matured very quickly and ten years old was already considered adulthood.
After reaching adulthood, beastmen and sub-beastmen could participate in tribal hunting and gathering, though they were first assigned only simple support tasks mainly for training and learning.
Hayoon's parents had already passed away.
She was only a sub-beastman.
Although the tribe helped as much as they could, in this era, having enough food and clothing was already a struggle.
Other households were barely surviving as it was, let alone hers.
8 year old Haeun was very sensible.
He wants to ease Hayoon's burden, so, he secretly learned to hunt like the adult beastmen.
But he didn't catch any prey; instead, he was almost gored in the spine by a spiky boar and almost died!
Naturally, the original owner flew into a rage, fiercely scolded Haeun and threatened that if he acted so recklessly again, she would throw him out.
After that, she ignored him for many days.
Later, when the original owner was seriously injured, Haeun was both terrified and devastated, he keeps crying loudly.
From Haeun's perspective, his sister must hate him to death.
But in reality…
Hayoon sat up and said sternly, "It's good that you know you were wrong. If you really want to hunt, spend the next two years learning from the beastmen in the tribe. Once you turn into an adult, I won't stop you."
Haeun nodded his head repeatedly and asked cautiously, "Sis, you're not angry at me anymore?"
