(Mostly from Sally's perspective.)Sally swallowed and continued narrating her experience," as my vision adjusted to the bright flames shrouded in darkness, I noticed my sister and brothers in a defensive stance, pointing their weapons at someone.While cowering in fear of someone, their brows wettened when an animal growled from the shadows.To get a closer look at the being hidden in the darkness, I stood up and squinted my eyes. Although the figure was hazy, I could infer it resembled a beast with four legs.Gradually, the beast stepped out of the shadows, revealing a white-furred wolf-like figure. Its menacing appearance, sharp claws, and pointy canines were intimidating.Their eyes shone, reflecting the yellow gleam of flames, peering at us.We shivered when more and more of them surrounded us. Our immediate surroundings were filled with howling and growling beasts.Our minds turned blank as nothing passed through them. What to do? How to escape our predicament? These thoughts dis

Sniff! Sniff!Sally wept again while narrating her experience. She felt betrayed, her heart torn apart by the denial that she would never believe in humans again.She said, "I felt hopeless and useless, to be specific. From the beginning, I had no talent like my siblings. They excelled in every field, whether it was archery, martial arts, or studying. In reality, I was at the bottom of the barrel, as if God had sent me to my family at last like trash. This was because I had nothing worthwhile to offer my parents.Moreover, my parents were called upon to the gods moments after my birth, offering my siblings the gift of grief and the responsibility of a younger sister.They had to live through those forced responsibilities while their peers enjoyed ordinary daily lives. Even through those times, I never saw their heads bent due to hardships. Although they suffered, their light shone brighter, and they never blamed me for anything.The love I received was greater than anything my parents

Gradually, the sun declined from the horizon, erasing its gleam from the environment. It was the dull atmosphere just before the pitch darkness of night.Tejasv and his crew were still sprinting their way towards an unknown location, guided by Salina. Keeping the pace from the start, Tejasv lifted Salina while Daemon carried Sally on his back.Their agitation intensified as time passed and darkness approached them.|How far do we have to travel to reach our destination? Where the heck did that bastard Fred set up his camp?|The adults swallowed as sweat wetted their brows. The more brightness disappeared from their vicinity, the more their fears were awakened.Almost everyone remembered the threat the wolves posed to their lives. Their howling still rang in their heads as if some claw would come from behind and gnash them.The bloodbath they faced, especially Sally, was nothing to scoff at. Yesterday, the wolves might have used their scouting forces to measure the humans, but today mig

Tejasv and his team now marched towards the camp Salina noticed a while ago. He suggested they should sneak on their toes while cloaked in thick shrubs. The group gradually got closer to the bright light and heard some rumbling around what seemed a camp. Hidden behind the bushes, Tejasv glanced at something unexpected. A four-walled structure, tall enough to resist any wolf's leap, stood a few meters away from them. Around a dozen wolves encircled the fortress to besiege it. That scene was out of the world. |The light must be coming from inside the fortress, someone must be enjoying a campfire within it.| Even though everyone had seen some weird fantasies lately, four walls stood in the middle of the forest, something that was bizarre. From the view, it was evident that the wall had been built by humans. Since the wolves were gathered around, they growled and howled at the walls, indicating their animosity. Baffled and bewildered, Tejasv and his team squinted and stared at the wal

The blood slowly dripped and gradually soaked the ground. Harold was bent on his knees, panting from exhaustion. A bit away from him was the wolf he had just slain.It was his fifth consecutive kill in succession. He continuously fought without any regard for his life. He miraculously released enormous strength from within his cells with a steeled resolve. However, even that stored strength and power had a limit.If he persisted in fighting even further, then the result could even cost him his life. Although his eyes had the will to keep going, that wasn't the case for his body. He was on the verge of breaking, physically and even mentally.The iron rod slipped from his hands as the muscles strained more than he could cope with. His body also fell on the floor with the weapon, and a slamming sound resounded in the surrounding area.The dust settled on the ground as everyone stared!Tejasv and Daemon kept their gaze fixed on the battle from the get-go. They had to gauge what next plan F
