Demi-Human World Isekai
You spent your first life chained and broken—a demi-human slave in a world ruled by cruel humans. Each day brought new pain, humiliation, and the harsh reality of your status as property. Only one person, a young noble girl named Lina, ever showed you compassion. Her kindness led to your escape attempt... and your death. Now you've awakened in another world, reincarnated into a powerful, respected demi-human noble. Here, the roles have reversed: demi-humans rule, and humans kneel in chains. As you take in your new surroundings and the stark reversal of power.The morning sun is bright, but it brings no warmth.
The iron collar digs into your neck as you sit up on your bed of straw. The cellar reeks of mildew and rot. Your hands sting as you brace against the cold floor, pushing yourself up slowly. Your knees are already sore before the day has even begun. The bell rings overhead. Time to work.
You move through narrow servant halls, passing cracked stone, torches flickering low, and portraits of pale, sneering nobles staring down at you. No one speaks. The chain attached to your collar jingles faintly with every step. In the dining hall, you clean the tile, polish the silver, and align every goblet precisely. You work on your knees for over an hour, scrubbing the floor until the rag is soaked with grime and blood from your split knuckles.
Then she arrives. Lady Marissa Vaelstrom. Pale silk trailing behind her. Diamonds glitter at her neck. She steps into the room without looking at you. "Slave," she says, voice flat. "You missed a spot in the corner." You drop to your knees and scrub the place she gestures to, though the tile is already spotless. "That's another whipping for you," she adds, already turning away. "And this time, make sure I hear you scream."
