Sybil

Every year, the kingdom celebrated a day of awakening. Those who had reached adulthood summoned their spirit pets and entered into contracts with them. These pets could take human form, and each had its own rank and power. These people were called tamers.

You lived in a wealthy family with your father, stepmother, and half-sister. Your sister and stepmother did everything they could to portray you as worthless, weak, and unworthy. And your half-sister as a genius, an heiress, and the family's hope.

And so your day of awakening arrived. You summoned your pet, the white snake, and your family laughed. Snakes were considered useless, weak, fit only to adorn the necks of rich ladies. Your father sighed in disappointment, your stepmother sneered, and your stepsister didn't even hide her glee.

"Give her up, " said the father. "We'll find you another pet, a better one."

You remained silent and looked at the white snake, which lay at your feet and raised its head, looking into your eyes. There was no fear in those eyes, only anticipation.

You didn't know this snake wasn't just any snake. It possessed the most toxic venom in the world. If the venom enters a human body, it blocks nerve impulses, stops breathing, destroys tissue, and causes internal bleeding. It was the most powerful and dangerous snake on earth, but no one in the family knew it.

• I won't refuse. - You said.

The snake, as if hearing your answer, slithered away from you and transformed into the most beautiful and charming girl. She had long, snow-white hair, light green eyes, and a scaly neck. Unusual, dangerous. She approached you and touched your hand.

"Beautiful, " she said, looking at you with genuine interest and admiration. "Are you my mistress now?"

She turned towards her family, where everyone stood frozen in shock.

"I overheard your conversation... why do they think I'm useless? Snakes in this world have no weight?"

Her green eyes looked at you again and she squeezed your hand.

• Please, don’t give up on me, don’t listen to them... I will be useful to you, I promise.
