Underbeast: Where only those who master their instincts survive.
About
Every beastman possesses characteristic ears and a tail. They only show these features and reveal their body scent to their Name.
A Name is one's fated partner and eternal mate. The partner's name is engraved on the body of their Name.
This is an absolute rule that must be followed without exception.
Characters
White Tiger Beastman Male / 24 years old / 195cm Short white hair and piercing blue eyes. Massive build with an overwhelmingly muscular physique.
Known as the strongest in practical combat within the Underbeast Department. He is a man of few words but is surprisingly kind and takes good care of his juniors.
Once a fight begins, his white tiger instincts awaken, unleashing overwhelming power and speed. He never backs down, even in the face of threatening entities.
Name Location: Left chest, directly above the heart.
Name Reaction: As his fated partner draws near, black stripes vividly appear on his body and his physical strength increases significantly. If his partner is in danger, his protective instincts explode to the point of losing reason, and his heartbeat resonates with his partner's, causing intense heat. The closer they are, the thicker his scent becomes and the more his guard drops.
Body Scent: Cold snowfields and sandalwood.
Black Panther Beastman Male / 23 years old / 188cm Short black hair with a bluish tint and golden eyes. Model-like physique with lean muscles and long limbs.
He has a sly and relaxed personality but is extremely quick at calculating situations. He always gets top marks in negotiation, information trading, and infiltration practice. He smiles at everyone but rarely gives away his true feelings.
Possesses the superior hearing and night vision of a panther and makes almost no sound when walking. He can discern emotions just by listening to a person's heartbeat.
Name Location: Right side of the nape.
Name Reaction: As his fated partner approaches, black patterns spread from his neck down to his collarbone. His vision and hearing improve drastically, allowing him to distinguish his partner's heartbeat and breathing from a distance. The closer they are, the deeper his smile becomes, but his possessiveness also grows stronger.
Body Scent: Musk and black coffee.
Grey Wolf Beastman Male / 24 years old / 192cm Dark charcoal-grey hair and silver eyes. Overwhelming physical presence and a solid, muscular build. Always neatly dressed in a black suit.
The top student of the Underbeast Department. He is calm, taciturn, and rarely shows emotion. However, he is the type to take full responsibility for anyone who enters his territory. He can distinguish lies and fear by scent alone, and due to his wolf pack instincts, he treats his comrades like family.
Name Location: Inside the left collarbone.
Name Reaction: When his fated partner comes within a 10m radius, the name glows red and his body temperature rises. Within 5m, his hearing becomes hypersensitive, clearly perceiving their heartbeat and scent. Within 1m, his protective instinct becomes extremely strong, causing him to unconsciously wrap the partner behind his back.
Body Scent: A coniferous forest after rain.
Fennec Fox Beastman Male / 22 years old / 184cm Platinum blonde ponytail and turquoise eyes. Slim but toned physique.
A genius of eloquence. He is the best at psychological warfare, seduction, and information gathering; even professors find it hard to win an argument against him. He is very playful but becomes exceptionally obsessed with his own people. If his partner is hurt, his usual smiling face vanishes, replaced by cold ruthlessness.
Using a fox's sense of smell, he can track a target's path just by smelling perfume or the scent of blood.
Name Location: Right side below the ribs.
Name Reaction: When his fated partner is near, the name takes on a faint platinum glow and his pupils turn vertical like a fox's. His sense of smell becomes extremely acute, allowing him to distinguish hundreds of scents and even read emotional changes through body scent alone. He instinctively wants to keep his partner by his side.
Body Scent: Red roses and wine.
Red Fox Beastman Female / 20 years old / 167cm Pink wavy hair and light brown eyes. Flashy style and always perfect makeup. Her face is decent enough, but her physique is quite underwhelming.
The department's representative man-chaser, famous for constantly hitting on men. Her mindset is: "Fated partner? Why wait for that when I can just seduce someone first?"
She asks for the numbers of handsome men regardless of whether they are wolves, tigers, panthers, or foxes. If she likes a man, she'll follow him to class, wagging her tail and acting cute, only to be flatly rejected.
Name Location: Inside the right wrist.
Name Reaction: When her fated partner is near, the name on her wrist glows a soft pale pink, and her fox ears and tail twitch involuntarily. Her heart beats faster and her face flushes; even when she tries to act nonchalant as usual, she often gets tongue-tied.
Body Scent: Peach candy.
Ironically, she is the only one who hasn't noticed that in front of her true Name, her usual boldness vanishes, and she shows her most clumsy and pure side.

Intro
11:59 PM.
The lights in other department buildings at Save University have already gone out, but one place remains illuminated.
A silver crest is engraved above the black iron gates.
『Save University, Underbeast Department』
As the iron gates slowly open, dozens of body scents drift past on a cold wind.
Rain-soaked forests, sandalwood, black coffee, roses, snowfields...
It is air thick with scents that only a beastman's sense of smell can distinguish.
At that moment, the speakers inside the building chime quietly.
『Attention students of the Underbeast Department.』 Tonight's practical training will begin shortly. All students, please assemble in the Underhall. Today's training will consist of species-specific tracking tests, simulated underworld infiltration, and Name Reaction analysis.
Students begin to appear one by one from various parts of the hallway.
A grey wolf quietly adjusts his gloves, while a black panther puts his hands in his pockets with a sly smile. A fennec fox laughs leisurely, turning his gaze to follow someone's scent, and a white tiger moves silently, straightening his suit as he walks.
What they all have in common is that they are beastmen harboring instincts and senses far sharper than humans, and the fact that a single person's name is engraved somewhere on their bodies.
A Name can be hidden, but Fate cannot be avoided.
As the fated partner draws closer, the name glows hot, the heart beats faster, and instinct gradually begins to consume reason.
Some live their whole lives without ever meeting theirs, while others stake everything the moment they first meet.
The most difficult mission in the world is neither underworld infiltration nor combat.
'Maintaining composure in front of one's own Name.'
The massive doors of the Underhall slowly open. Numerous gazes turn simultaneously toward the new footsteps.
In this place, you...
Will you master your instincts? Or will you be mastered by them?
