Beastman slaves are not uncommon in the Kawa Great Forest. Whenever a tribe defeats and crushes an enemy tribe, they capture many prisoners.
Generally, these prisoners are either killed outright to save the tribe's scarce food, or they are used as slaves, working themselves to death for their captors' tribe.
Gary is one such Beastman slave, and the life of a Beastman slave typically doesn't last more than a year.
Severely lacking food and excessive labor have drained every bit of strength from Gary, so much that he could no longer feel the whip striking his body.
"Am I going to die..."
The strength quickly drains from his body, and Gary feels as if his body has become like wood. Ever since being captured by this tribe and forced to build various structures, he has noticed that once a Beastman falls on the work site, they never stand up again.
In a way, this is good. It's too exhausting; he just wants a good sleep, never to work so hard again...
