I'm half-human, half-beast, and my brother is a gumiho?!!
Our Story

Please tell me your story
The female protagonist said with a solemn expression
Ho-seok, who was snickering at the female lead's expression, began to speak.
정호석
Um... I have so much to say, but where should I start....
정호석
Our clans are born with different abilities based on four attributes, and so we divide them into races based on each attribute...
정호석
Fire, water, earth and wind
정호석
These four were the basics, and around 7000 years ago, the black-clad clan with the aura of darkness, the 'Black Clan', and the white-clad clan with the aura of light, the 'White Clan', were newly born.
정호석
Since the emergence of the Black Clan and the White Clan, our ancestors, who are now gods, began to dream of deviation.
정호석
It was legally forbidden to combine (mate) with other races to create a new clan with new abilities, but there were a small number of forces within each clan who were against this.
정호석
There are still free-spirited gumihos who mate and have babies with like-minded gumihos.
정호석
Just as people all have different personalities, foxes all have different personalities.
정호석
In the case of the Hong clan, the most basic personality foundation is that they have strong pride and are arrogant, so that's why that saying came out. It's difficult to think that all the foxes of the Hong clan have that kind of personality.
정호석
I am a 'mutant fox' created by the meeting of the Fire Clan and the White Clan.
정호석
It was a huge shame and an eyesore among the powerful families who practiced inbreeding in the name of protecting their bloodlines.
정호석
After mating, my mom and dad returned to their clan as if nothing had happened and acted as usual. Then, a week after my mom returned to her clan, she had incest with my younger brother, and when my mom got pregnant, everyone naturally assumed that she would give birth to a pure-blooded child.
정호석
But when I, a mutant and not a pureblood, appeared, he captured my mother and tortured her, found out who my father was, and burned both of them to death.
정호석
My father threw me here to create a world where I could survive without dying and mate with whomever I wanted without the need for inbreeding.
정호석
It only took two days for me to be abandoned...
정호석
I was abandoned here two days after I was born, and I was able to survive thanks to Jinhyeong, who was abandoned first, and the gumiho who raised Jinhyeong.
정호석
When the 'Su Clan' with the energy of water and the 'Hong Clan' with the energy of fire mated, the purple fox 'Venom' Clan, a fox that can use poison, was born.
정호석
At first, the leaders were strongly opposed to accepting the purple fox into the clan, saying that it was a mutant fox and should be killed immediately, and that it would be a disgrace to the clan. However, it was later discovered that the purple fox could use poison-related abilities, and it was decided to include it in the clan.
정호석
But even though I'm a mutant, I have no abilities so I was abandoned.
정호석
.... They say that when foxes reach 800 years old, they gain new abilities and those abilities merge with their previous abilities and transform.... I didn't gain any new abilities.
정호석
So I still think the ability is just a general fascination..
민여주
My brother... is a mutant fox...?
The heroine asked, blinking her large eyes in disbelief.
As if he had somewhat anticipated the female protagonist's reaction, Ho-seok said with a bitter smile.
정호석
.....Each clan put in a lot of effort to prevent the birth of mutant foxes.
정호석
There was a meeting where representatives of the clans gathered to prevent the birth of mutant foxes.
정호석
Among the various solutions that came out of that, one was adopted, and that was the 'Couple's Vow'.
정호석
The 'Couple's Vow' is a kind of ritual performed by two foxes who will make the 'Couple's Vow' in front of representatives of each clan who will serve as witnesses.
정호석
However, there are three conditions for making a 'couple's vow'.
정호석
You can't be the first god.
정호석
The first condition is that you must give up on becoming a god and live with your companion until death.
정호석
The second condition is that you belong to a group, but you cannot receive protection from the group.
정호석
From the moment they made the third condition, 'Couple's Vow', the two were separated from the group and began living in the human world.
정호석
If you get separated from the pack, you can't return to it unless the pack calls you, and you're free to live like humans or in the forest.
정호석
As long as you live in the human world, it doesn't matter how you live.
정호석
If you decide to make a 'conjugal vow' with your partner after hearing these three conditions, then that is when the real ceremony begins.
정호석
There is a medium that prevents the two energies from mixing, like water and oil. If you absorb it, a fox will be born that inherits only one of the energies.
정호석
I am a 'mutant fox' who was born without going through this process, and Min Yoongi is a fox who was born after going through this process.
When the female protagonist learns of another secret about Yoon-ki's birth that she was unaware of, her heart starts to flutter wildly.
Min Yoongi, a fox born from love, and Min Yeoju, a half-human, half-beast born from curiosity.
Although we came from the same boat, our fates are so different.
I wonder if my brother has never hated me in his life.
The thought that if I had never been born...if my mother had never met a human man... weighs heavily on my heart.
My mind is filled with thoughts about how I should look at my brother's face in the future, and my mind becomes confused and my vision becomes dizzy.
