Just as Kiyanotoka was celebrating his new Spirit Beast—a Baby Fire Dragon—a familiar voice echoed in the distance.
> "You bastard, Ash! Get over here!"
It was Brad, storming toward him. His breathing was heavy. While muscular, his sheer bulk made it hard for him to run far.
Brad's spiritual beast had awakened when he was young. In this world, spirit beasts are tied to the heart—their rank and form can't be altered once bonded. But Kiyanotoka, with his mysterious System, was... irregular.
Brad's beast, the Dusk Wolf Cub, was a D‑Rank. While average by global standards, it was considered above average at Shrek University.

Kiyanotoka smirked.
> "Oh my god... this system is insane."
Just then, Brad pointed a trembling finger at him.
His Dusk Wolf Cub emerged—small, agile, with sleek gray fur that faded into indigo. One eye glowed violet, the other amber. Shadows curled from its paws, barely making a sound as it moved.
The beast glared at Kiyanotoka, ready to strike.
> "Let's see what my beast can do," Kiyanotoka whispered.
He summoned the system again.

> "He's just a baby, but he's already OP," Kiyanotoka whispered, wide-eyed.
He called out confidently:
> "Come, Thamuz."
A ripple of flame tore through the air as a portal opened. From it emerged a tiny dragon, its scales glowing ember-red, eyes burning like coals.
Brad stumbled back, stunned.
> "W‑what?! A dragon?! You had no spirit beast! Were you lying this whole time?!"
Kiyanotoka gave him a smug smile.
> "Huhuhu... so what?"
Suddenly, thunder cracked overhead.
