It’s dark
That’s the first thing I thought of when I was “teleported” to another world, all I could really do was just sit and listen for stuff, out of my better judgement, I’d say I was born, it wasn’t for a few weeks until I fully opened my eyes and looked around me.
Wow, what vibrant colours, I thought
This world is really like no other, mainly because of the fact that literally almost everyone I have to say was humanoid beings with fluffy ears and tails, let me explain,
From what I have seen, it seems I'm part of a beast clan, particularly, the white wolf clan.
I am called Yuki Okami, or “snow wolf”(1) it seems my family in the white wolf tribe have names of Japanese descent, everyone else has different names and such
My father died while hunting after I was born, they were going to celebrate my being born it seemed, so im just with my mother and other extended family.
This world is strangely similar to my old world, except for the fact that the inhabitants are beastkin.
We seem to be a poor clan, not really having any electronics apart from a tv, and when mum was feeding me near a window, I found that our village is in the snowy mountains.
I'm just living a normal baby life, to be honest.

A few years later,
Im 4 now, and I have started to talk a bit of their language, it is kind of similar to English.
I'm a girl now, it still hurts me thinking about how I lost my manhood, sadly I can’t really do anything about my body.
I haven’t done much other than play with the other kids, I have to say that even though i'm in my twenties, I have the mentality of a child, it seems that an undeveloped mind has some influence on my personality, in a few days I will head over to the local church for education, as well as my other friends around the same age.
Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.
I'm excited to learn about the world around me. I really want to go and explore the outside world, but we are usually confined to in and around this village. Only the hunters go outside and even then it’s just in the forest.
I have also noticed that because we are roughly half of a white wolf, we have superior senses, and I'm not even fully developed yet, and I have roughly twice the amount of eyesight clarity than I did in my old world.

Today is the day I go to the church for education!
I'm here with my friends Jackson and Fero, they are the only ones around my age, but they seem to be pretty cool. Of course, I shall rule this village in terms of punctuation!
But let’s excuse the fact I suck at English punctuation.
When mother took me over to the church, I met up with my friends and we went inside.
The nuns explained what we were doing before we did any actual education. We were apparently getting something called an appraisal, which was just a numerical value of capabilities. They use this to see if they have use in getting higher education or in the military.
This is a pretty good way to get discriminated against if word gets out about your appraisal ranking, luckily it is just between you and the head priest about what ranking you get, otherwise, you might start to get bullied.
The priests and nuns took us to an altar in the middle of the church, and we were told to put our hands on the altar. The altar had a statue of what seemed to be a divine figure? I'm not sure myself.
The head priest looking guy started to chant something peculiar,
almost as if he was talking in polish or something, sounded like it anyways.
And after he finished his chanting, a piece of paper fell from the altar's statue.
With stats that readout, according to the head priest anyways: “slightly above average intelligence, slightly above-average strength, affinity with the gods is average, and luck is very average.”
I see.
So i'm just a bit better than the rest huh?
The priest continued to say: “you have use in the military, seeking higher education is possible, but with the state of our village, it’s unlikely you can even pay the tuition fees for a college.”
I was filled with curiosity about his world from then on, what are other peoples stats like? How does warfare go on with stat differences like this? Do other races have higher innate stats? Do I have innate stats? I seriously started to wonder.
After this realisation of questions in my head, I started to think about this kind of stuff, of course that effort was fruitless unless I saw it for myself.
After I stopped contemplating the questions in my head, I realised that my friends had already finished their appraisals and we were told to go to a room at the side of the church.
The room was now to be known as “the classroom” because there were desks and stationery and other classroomy stuff, and to start off our new classes, we got a basic schedule of when we were to be at the classroom, and we got a starter on basic arithmetic.
After that, we left, and we went home to get dinner, at which I asked my mother about some of the questions in my head such as “mum, what other races are there?“
Mum looked at me funny and explained: “there are plenty of races out in the wild, our white wolf tribe is very rare because we were hunted down as slaves a few centuries ago, and we isolated ourselves in this village, we are also very rare because of a unique ability we possess, “sense”. “Sense” is an ability that lets us detect everything in a select range, sure the nuns will teach you more about this when you are older.”
I love my mum in this world, but sometimes she looks at me with the strangest looks, but this only really happens when I talk to her using more complicated words.
