(Note: - Read the auxiliary chapter first.)

In a world where Beast Tamers command respect and wealth, Kai is nothing but a street rat, scraping by on the streets of Ashenford. 

Orphaned and despised by townsfolk, he's learned to expect nothing more than cold stares and cruel words. 

His life takes an unexpected turn when he stumbles across an injured beast deep in the wilderness.

Kai nurses the creature, forming an unspoken bond that will alter his fate, and he begins to see the harsh realities of a world ruled by power, status, and secrets.

#Another note- since it's slice of life, initial chapters will be slow, then it will pick up pace a bit of pace.

Stromeon burst through it, eyes lit with fury, sparks racing down his fangs. 


The rubble that had buried Kai, now cracked and scattered, tossed aside like paper.


He stood up, bloodied but focused, nodding once.


Without waiting for a reply, he darted toward the far chamber, toward the pulsing structure behind the creature, nestled deep in the heart of the pseudo-dungeon.


The obsidian beast roared and unleashed a wide sweep with its massive claws.
