Great so far! Keep it up![img=recommend]
Yes!
I had crafted a makeshift stairway that brought me to the summit of the towering crate. With determination, I seized a large sack of rice, testing its weight as I swung it experimentally. My trainer's voice resonated in my mind, a constant reminder of the grueling training sessions that had shaped me. Just as I began to find my balance, the carriage lurched to an abrupt stop, and the unmistakable sounds of movement outside the crate sent a chill racing through me. My heart thundered in my chest as I tightened my grip on the edges of the sack, a mix of fear and adrenaline coursing through my veins.

fun!
I managed to wiggle my legs free with just a few minor scratches, but I was still firmly trapped in this sturdy wooden box. Pressing my palm against the rough surface, I tried to channel my energy, but to my dismay, I couldn't tap into the martial energy that humans cultivate. And the familiar sprite that everyone summons after they turn eighteen? Well, I wouldn't be able to summon it until my eighteenth birthday celebration, which, thanks to the lunar calendar, is still three weeks away. If I miss that window, I'll be stuck waiting another year, and that would seriously set me back compared to my peers in training.

I would freak
I blinked rapidly, and suddenly, my sight cleared. A wave of disbelief washed over me as I grasped the reality—I had been unconscious for far longer than I had imagined. Slivers of light filtered through the cracks in the thick wooden planks surrounding me. Panic surged as I registered my confinement within a massive wooden crate, perched atop bags marked with rice. A quick scan of my surroundings sent a chill down my spine; the crate was securely nailed shut, leaving me ensnared in this precarious situation.

Nice! A FL who isn't a whining weakling damsel in distress type!
They underestimated me; pain was something I had grown accustomed to. My father, a general and celebrated dragon hunter, had always yearned for a son. Instead, he got me, his only child, after my mother perished in a dragon raid. I was the substitute he never asked for. From a young age, I endured grueling training, and now, I was prepared for whatever lay ahead.

That's make me scared to look in a mirror!
Spider Beastkin: Maybe if you were a spider, you'd finally get over that irrational fear of them.

Electra is absolutely one of my favorite authors! She transforms what is usually a shallow type of story into something rich with deeper meanings and incredible worldbuilding. She delves into the cultural differences between the beastkin and Perla's upbringing, highlighting the misunderstandings that stem from these differences. The characters feel so real, and I love how each one has their own unique storylines, but everything is connected. I love all the characters, even the antagonists whom I love to hate! [img=Loving it]
