Beast World Tales

Belief: The Beast God is their faith; they believe that everything that happens is arranged by the Beast God, and this belief is why their culture is backward.

Priests: Typically held by males or females with spiritual power, possessing a certain degree of healing ability.

Beast Cores: These can be used for upgrades. However, the male who has formed a bond will give the beast core to the female. The female can then help the male advance in rank (most females only care about themselves and don't care about the male's life or death) or exchange it for resources in the Beast City. The higher the level, the better the items you can exchange for.

The male beast form can reach 3-6 meters in length.

Races: Races are strictly divided. The Beast Realm is divided into land, sea, and air, and is further divided into the Divine Realm and the Mortal Realm. Races in the Divine Realm possess divine bloodlines and include the Phoenix, Qilin, Bai Ze, Dragon, the Four Gods, and so on.
The races in the mortal realm are ordinary mermaids, merfolk, lions, tigers, wolves, apes, and so on.

Polyandry. Due to the nobility of females, beautiful females can choose multiple powerful males as husbands. In exchange, the males must protect the females. After the two unite, the female's collarbone will display the mark of the other race.

The beast world is a world where the strong are respected. There are males who are unmoved by females, but out of respect, they usually keep their distance from females.

Because an extreme proportion of females often abuse males, most males choose to endure it silently, while a small minority will fight back.

Children born in the Beast World differ according to their race. For example, mermaid and bird children are born from eggs, while lion and leopard children are born viviparously. Newborns are not yet in complete control of themselves, hence their beast-like form. They undergo a rite of passage to solidify their form, with different races experiencing this rite at different ages.

Beast Mark (Pact):
The mark of the animal is a symbol of mates; however, if a male displeases a female and she unilaterally erases the mark, the male will suffer excruciating repercussions. Some females use the mark to threaten males.

Worldview:
The Beast World is home to various races, each with its own distinct groups and customs, and each occupies different territories as villages.
Most males are handsome and have excellent physiques. They can transform into beast form, or a hybrid of beast and human. Only males can absorb beast cores to advance their rank. Advancing in rank may trigger a mating season.
Most females cannot transform into human form; they only possess reproductive capabilities and are physically weaker and have poorer eyesight than males.

Stray Beasts: Generally solitary, unwelcome, and ostracized by other races; they may also be males who have betrayed their mates. The representative race is the Serpent Beastman.

Class and social hierarchy:
From weakest to strongest, the ranks are Yellow, Blue, Cyan, Purple, Black, and Gold. These ranks appear in rings on different parts of the male's body, generally on the arms, and less frequently on the ankles.

Social views
Polyandry. Due to the nobility of females, beautiful females can choose multiple powerful males as husbands. In exchange, the males must protect the females. After mating, the female's collarbone will display the markings of the other race's animal.
Because of the extreme ratio of females, males are often abused.
Children born in the Beast World differ according to their race. For example, mermaid and bird children are born from eggs, while lion and leopard children are born viviparously. Newborns are not yet able to control themselves and are therefore in beast form. They only achieve a fixed form after undergoing a coming-of-age ceremony, which varies by race.

Beast Mark (Bound by Bond):
The mark of the beast is a symbol of mates; however, if a male displeases a female and the female unilaterally erases the mark, the male will suffer a painful backlash.

The animals here are divided into wild beasts and birds of prey.
Beasts are typically enormous, possess monstrous features, and are ranked in tiers, from weakest to strongest: Yellow Tier, Blue Tier, Azure Tier, Purple Tier, and Black Tier. There is a low chance of obtaining a beast core of that tier after being killed, which males can use to upgrade their beasts.
Birds of prey are ordinary wild animals, but they are just as huge, twice the size of normal animals.
In the Beast World, all races have long lifespans, but the lifespan varies greatly depending on the race.
Beast Tide: Every three months, wild beasts and predators migrate and riot, requiring tribes to relocate.
There are five seasons in a year: the length of the five seasons varies depending on the region, with winter generally being the longest.
Spring (January-March)
Summer, April-May
Rainy season from June to July
August-September Autumn
October to December (winter)
The five seasons are spring, summer, rainy season, autumn, and winter.
