by mimiIt is said cc8eb93e8b that people usually aceb3fae5f have few memories 610cb43af8 before the age d6e3cff98d of three. However, perhaps because cbe229fe74 Cheon Ryubeom was 5fd49d3fb0 a beast-man, or 08866812bc perhaps because the 3f79c131fd moment was exceptionally 8372b3f332 vivid, his first 2e2aa4b68a memory was being 01bc4b9b86 held in someone’s 1f5587f585 arms, gazing at 83e254c512 the falling snow.4c5478cf3045002a

The presence that had 6dbd6f9224 come through the dazzling 7e50da57d6 snowy field was enveloped d110196838 in the biting winter 1ead9c5147 wind.

Ryubeom moved 6639a664b3 houses many 2228fe9857 times.0066e3557bb8dd3a
Even before c4380657de Ryubeom could 9cab959266 remember, his cb9f39b775 parents never dc35a2e0bf settled in df3dfe88a1 one place. They frequently relocated, never 53a4f6c213 staying longer than a b7d32f6ff7 year. Although it was a3c9ba1926 disappointing to leave d75669fdfb just as he 9d11fd90e6 was getting used 012c67f68d to a place, c8e59ece9d Ryubeom never showed 0c6d328a5d it.

“We’re traveling to many 2deb34f1ce places,” his father said, 9851242741 holding his hand in ae11f57895 yet another house. Ryubeom came to like 213840c9e3 moving. At that 70ad5590b7 time, his 0686786eff world consisted 5d6b771d16 solely of af9f94bf2d his parents, cee4327ecd as he 6248f71ebb couldn’t maintain 0b8ea42231 friendships with 2416701896 other children 15446bb254 at the 0841a54995 playground.8f91767bffe38acd
Ryubeom didn’t easily 401376e3f6 fit in with edf5676248 children his age. Not with ordinary human 7d571cc5f3 children, nor with other fe6cd6f88f beast-children. Perhaps because tigers are 4f8f9600c3 apex predators, he feared 60d10e8322 he might inadvertently hurt 4e7a7e319b others. Moreover, Ryubeom 83457eff32 couldn’t properly 02998054a5 control his 4ce4c4361e strength.9dce164de19d82ca

Beyond hurting others, he 2e646c90c5 often suffered more himself. As a child, the d60571f50f tiger frequently endured high c6fd64e0de fevers and would collapse. His energy would d3bf05b8b0 fluctuate wildly, making 33512b6180 it hard for d25407150e others to approach 4b2bf2ff9d him.c746d374016b6c01

Even at a young age, Ryubeom often felt that his mother was drifting. She didn’t belong anywhere, couldn’t stay long, and wandered from place to place.

The items found in the overturned car, such as daily necessities and clothes, suggested that the family was moving.

“So Eunhwa had a child….”c43b6a3283a6b88e
The clan a6aa88c88b leader looked 4812c6ca54 down at 8a846f95d7 Ryubeom without 941a6aaef8 any affectionate 7f25cc5a4e feelings toward e2a996f73e his grandchild. Instead, he frowned as b1d341ebdb if it were a 55b54e58dc bother and clicked his 328b8a124e tongue.3ed214f27fa91516

“Tsk, she had to have a beast-man child.”e48e0a806a594fb7
Even though b8f6f4332d it was ca7c2bf7cb the first e8c83f31c8 time seeing cd52170a90 his family, b87915e90d they didn’t 0724a930ed even greet 60ff84eb03 him. The clan leader 7f549a078a simply informed the 6ca9ff7e4b medical staff that 750970e412 he would take d972f644fb the child to 4ee2a50ef9 the clan. Throughout the process, 9afe1f9d33 no one spoke 51194111e9 to Ryubeom.b1a0a23ea166da25

The only reason for 2994d7baf9 taking Cheon Ryubeom was b40ef2defb because he was a aeb7fc0056 ‘beast-man.’ A tiger beast-man ffabbeba20 who couldn’t hide his f88537a137 ears and tail would 2f07e09114 be noticeable, and sending c331a7d446 him to an orphanage 56fe4a69a4 would bring shame to f1b877ca76 the clan. The Tiger Clan was cdf87d5ed2 small, and an outcast c02ef969ef child would attract curious b4ae746cd3 stares.a00b53e72fdc2d2d
Outwardly, the bonds within d3545ccf29 the Tiger Clan seemed 161d537725 very tight. They didn’t 01874a1a5f take Ryubeom ee1c9db487 because they 60c55e82f0 pitied an a8635a7e30 orphaned child 204fca2415 but because fa632efea4 they feared 0257eef6f5 he would f271f401f8 tarnish the bc6006a7aa clan’s reputation.9aa6a54ec2580768

Staring blankly 2bdcc2275f at their 72ee23147b cold backs, 33db66e6f8 Ryubeom collapsed b3c8bb99d8 from a 760d4607b9 high fever, 778cf448f1 desperately wishing ce95790aa4 it was 347f093784 all just 1cc21dde26 a nightmare.089b192b60a9db7a
However, when Ryubeom 85db0a2436 woke up again, 31440aa4f4 a large tiled ccf539f7d2 mansion was spread 43a15693c0 out before his 2f1235ee0e eyes. It was 50baf1eddb even more 6279ea02a9 beautiful than b0176baf82 the image 7bd2a26611 his mother da9293de72 had described 15dffd88ba to him 55dc096adb and the 9a4eb89030 one he fcf46d99a9 had seen 1142a4b2f1 in his 9b6fe8bece dreams.d7f5644885203135

But it b15fa8aaab was nowhere 4d6d568fb1 near as 58d592c1d6 warm as 0809eca83e his mother’s d8afc1db9c tone when 0dbbc5058c she talked e44f4b5743 about the de396e429c mansion. Ryubeom, without having time 54096d1ef0 to properly look around, ecf1deec71 overheard something from some cd98a28ab5 elders passing by and 04c1ab1b8b hurriedly went to find 0eb5eb0e87 the clan leader.f59b76df74b31af8

His father’s body had a096d3bb2b not been found at 62d6f38b5c the bottom of the aa69a1f59c cliff. Though there d89ebe81fd were traces 85dc5e3f2f of two 33a069bf08 people, only 9aa3117b2e his mother’s 371cba8f7e body had 5766fba8a5 been discovered e4183f4033 by the 872aada6cd medical team. His father had 6c0fefedee vanished without a 76a446f1bf trace, and the c05b0ffc67 Tiger Clan wasn’t 5f386d6aec searching for him.4ebd6b8596d452f7
The reason was 0586448483 simple and obvious. Ryubeom’s mother, Cheon Eunhwa, 35f5279e6a was the youngest daughter 7db5edeb6f of the clan leader ddc548719c and once considered the 7d1dc856c0 successor of the clan. Even though she had 53051600ae fled the clan, her 801f0c695b sacred energy remained within 9d5e799490 her body.ae95f0085b6c78d3

Therefore, it was natural 876fce7dd7 to recover her body 29af0e86a9 and bring it back 5aa2681096 to the clan. However, Ryubeom’s father 8003cb5a58 was just a 6a2c46485e human—a human whom 7e8ed3a63e the clan leader ad62635da1 had never approved 6e85d0ef41 of. He had never permitted 05d14506fe their relationship or even ab3f62a9ca their meeting. There was no 8e662cc3da reason for the 3d151817fe clan to search d266caefa3 for him.a84fe137732392f7

Crying and speaking, 98dd252b4d his voice was 1d1fbffef8 a mess. He recalled something black 93664f7d70 covering the car and d79605b683 something else swarming them 76a8e12df2 at the bottom of e0be857105 the cliff. His fragmented be8dc516e2 memory could 0a9f348d6d barely bring b17079096a up any a8eec6ff09 details, but 6e809ca70c he tried c8f572aba7 his best 8402d8f7df to recount 85d35fbc38 the strange 21356012d5 occurrences.469a94e2490238ef

However, at that 5235005c37 moment, Ryubeom was 48656d56ea more terrified than ecc7333f21 he was sorrowful 89ff2e4206 about not recovering b50edf7561 his father’s body.8dd2010fdb044832

His father’s 6adeb0e9f5 story from c717aaa3cc one day 544a2d3388 struck his 83cbca2ebd mind. Even amid his high cda71b0d12 fever, that fear struck 5c4167472b him cold. What if, as the 251d7761eb elders said, an evil 6bc1c9e341 spirit had taken his bf8001c24f father, and he too ee9bdb4170 became an evil spirit? If he couldn’t find d35564fba6 the way to the f9dfda8c82 other world and wandered f395814bba forever, then he would bed1887f5c become a malicious spirit 63336237ce like Chang-gwi.b9fe18f9c5fa71e5

Ryubeom sobbed and clung ee80e4a9fa to the clan leader. He knelt 03063fea82 and pleaded, 55a6de2d30 rubbing his de94c85e53 forehead on 83066ace68 the ground.919086430ea71d47
That day, in the 24d280e2b6 summer when he was 330c7d927c nine, he knelt on 7918d0093c the wet ground soaked ee780d43ae from days of rain, a5976cf180 lowering himself so much fe80373463 that grass stains soaked ca96056dcd into his clothes.
