Error

Hi there. This is just going to be a quick review.

Overall, the chapter is well written. Some grammatical errors here and there but no worries. Try switching up your vocabulary a bit.
e.g. instead of 'he said' maybe mix it up with 'he observed' or 'he remarked'

I see what you are doing in the beginning (throwing the reader in the deep end and then throwing them into a flashback). It would be more effective if the portion of throwing them in the deep end had more description. Maybe describe the room you are in, or how big is the auction, etc.

The concept is extremely interesting. I am curious to see the spirit beast concept unfold as you write. Throwing in a form of discrimination/slavery can make for great development of characters and a solid plot.

while I do think your writing style can use more description, I really like the pace of your writing style the unfolding of events doesn't seem rushed.

Thus far, though, it is a great concept and a great start. looking forwards to reading more.

Thanks for reading

Hello! I'll review as I read and then do an overall review.

'He was a tall man with gray hair. He was the one I was sold to. He was the lead of the auction that sold all sorts of things.' - repetition of 'he was,' try to switch up your sentences. All vary the sentence lengths.

'You may be wondering how I came to be at an auction,' - okay, if you're going to use this device to do a flashback, maybe go into a little more detail at the beginning to give the reader a change to actually question where we are in the story, before throwing them back into the history.

'Velv was his wolf beast that he tamed.' - try not to tell the reader things straight on. You could relay this information in a much more interesting way. Show vs tell.

Okay, this whole scene passed bay way too quickly. What exactly happened to the mother. How did she die? Why is his dad so adamant that he killed her? Why was he so quick to throw him out without even allowing him to give an explanation? What is the relationships between all these family members? It'll be good to give the readers an idea of this otherwise they will get some severe whiplash, like I feel I've just experienced.

'I was bathed and fed, and tortured.' - we're just going to skip over this? I mean, this seems pretty important? The guy's just been tortured?!

So now we have an idea why his father is so mean. But it still feels quite weak after that whole scene. I think you could introduce the mother's death scene in a little later. Have a bit of calm before the storm. You can then hint at the father's dislike of the MC without stating it outright, then the MC finding his dead mother, and then the father going mental. It will make the scene more whole.

Also, again, this explanation for the father's reaction is told to us rather than shown.

"But hes too young to do anything, plus with no powers what good is he?" - see with this, you don't need that explanation beforehand. Here, the reader has been told why he's no good. You can then have the MC reacting to this, maybe a hint that this is why his father hates him so much.

'I don't want to go. I want to go home. I want my mom.' 'laced in what I guess is gold.' - you've slipped into present tense.

'The voice was a gruff voice, a voice that would belong to an old man that still had a lot of life to live.' - repetition of 'voice.'

'We will o what we can to help' - 'do what we can'

'I din't know what to say,' - 'I didn't know'

Okay, done! There's a lot going on here, and I think it would work better if you slowed it all down. We jump around so quickly it's hard to for the reader to place themselves. If you slow it right down, the reader can then get a connection with your MC before it is then revealed that his whole life is a lie. It would make that reveal more potent and shocking. With so much happening straight from the get-go, this reveal is just sort of lumped in with everything else.

Give your story and your characters time to breathe and settle.

Hope this helps!

Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening/Night(whichever one it is in your part of the world),

Hi! I'm here to leave a quick review!!

First Impression: This is certainly a very interesting start here...there's a few things here that immediately get you asking a lot of questions and that's great to see at the start of the story. The ending is also a good one, it ends on the promise of much to come, which does make you want to read on and see what happens.

Anyway let's get right to it,

"No name, six years old, a virgin, male, no powers nor a tamed beast in his possession, came from the slums, but healthy." The man said. He was a tall man with gray hair. He was the one I was sold to. He was the lead of the auction that sold all sorts of things.

You may be wondering how I came to be at an auction, about to be sold off to some greedy noble, well here I'll tell you.

Today was supposed to be a good day, I wouldn't make my father mad and I would keep out of Diego's way. Then how did it turn out like this? Just then my brother came into his room, Velv at his side. Velv was his wolf beast that he tamed.

"What happened here?" He stared at our mom, who laid motionless.

"THAT USELESS BRAT KILLED HER!" My father screamed, pointing at me.

"No," I shook my head, uncontrollable tears rolled down my cheeks.

Diego stared at me "What now?"

My father didn't answer for a while, then, "We will get rid of you."

"What?" I started shaking, what did he mean?

"I WILL NOT HAVE A MURDERER FOR A SON!" He screamed

I flinched back, I didn't do anything though. . .

"Tomorrow, you will be leaving, and if you run, I will kill you." My father finally stood, grabbing my clothes, he dragged me to the basement, throwing me down. How. . .?

I was bathed and fed, and tortured. In this world, not having powers makes you useless. Since without powers, you can't do anything really. You can't tame spirit beasts or go on missions. That is why my father hated me and loved my brother, who had a natural talent and even tamed a spirit beast at seven years old, something only nobles and royalty could do.

"Mh, he would make a good butler." I heard the nobles talking among each other

"But hes too young to do anything, plus with no powers what good is he?" I heard another say.

I bit the inside of my mouth.

"Starting at 20,000!" The man said

"20,000? Well for someone so useless that is a good deal."

No one spoke up, in reality no one wanted me. I knew what would happen if I didn't get sold.

"30,000." I jerked my head up, the man who bought me was a tall, middle aged looking man. He had light brown hair and wore a black suit. He had a white and black arrow mask on so I couldn't see his face that well.

"30,000! Going once, going twice and sold!" The man yelled

Just then the man who bought me came in. Ignoring all the other slaves, he walked right in front of me and crouched down, to where our eyes would meet, if I could see them.

"Mhh, yes I made a good choice." I heard him mumble. He reached his hand out and removed the chain around my neck.

He then proceeded to pick me up.

"I believe that we wouldn't get there till dark if you were to walk." He said, almost as if he were explaining his actions.

I swallowed, where exactly are we going? I knew better than to say those words out loud. The man walked out of the auction house and outside. The auction house was really dark so I couldn't really make out what was there as he exited.

"Hold on kid." I looked up at him in confusion. Then he jumped, I should've guessed he had powers that enhanced his speed. I grabbed onto his shirt. Just as we started to move, we stopped.

I looked up, shakily, "wow." I breathed

I heard the man chuckle, "big isn't it?"

When we entered was when the man who bought me put me down. He bowed deeply, "master I found something extraordinary at the auction house."

The room was huge as well, seemed like everything was big here. It looked like an office and a library in one place. In the middle of the room was the man. Like I guessed, he was an old man, with silver and white hair, he had a short beard and also wore a suit, except he didn't wear a mask.

"Oh? You mean this kid?" The old man, or master, said

"He isn't a normal kid, sir, he isn't even human." The man stood up straight

I looked at him, what did he mean I wasn't human?

"How so?" The 'master' said

"He is a spirit beast born to two humans and in a humanoid shape, but I know a spirit beast when I see one." He said

The old man chuckled " then let me just explain, This man here," he indicated to the man who bought me, " is a lion spirit beast who goes by the name of Leo," as he said that, Leo took off his mask, showing slanted, golden cat eyes, " and he goes to the auction every time he can on my orders to buy anyone with potential."

I stared at him "m-me?"

"Yes, the reason for your potential is the fact that you are not human, but a spirit beast," he said "this happens very rarely. We will o what we can to help you transform into your true form."

"U-um," I din't know what to say, everything was happening too fast and my little brain couldn't keep up.

" So you are from now on will be known by b-47 until I give you a proper name." He declared as he pointed at my chest.
