1 - The World
The events of this story take place on Earth in the early 2020s, a world identical to modern history until the sudden arrival of the Labyrinth. Technology, culture, and global infrastructure remain largely intact at the time of the Labyrinth's first appearance, creating a sharp contrast between the familiar modern world and the unknown system imposed upon it.
Following the announcement, Earth becomes one of many sentient worlds drawn into a larger, unexplained trial.
2 - Beast Taming
The Chaotic Beast Egg
Upon the Labyrinth's announcement, all humans between the ages of 15 and 50 are gifted a Chaotic Beast Egg. This egg is bound to the individual and cannot be traded or destroyed.
The type, talent, and future potential of the beast are entirely random, regardless of choice. While delaying may increase the chance of higher talent, it also significantly increases early survival risk.
Beast Talent Ranks
Beasts are classified by innate talent, which determines their maximum natural growth potential.
Talent ranks, from lowest to highest, are:
Black Iron
Bronze
Silver
Gold
Platinum
Legend
Mythical
Heavenly
Most individuals receive beasts in the Black Iron or Bronze tiers, typically animals such as foxes, coyotes, wolves, lizards, or predatory birds.
Growth and Advancement
Their talent rank determines how far they can grow naturally.
Each rank contains three stages:
Minor (-)
Established
Major (+)
Example:
Black Iron -
Black Iron
Black Iron +
After reaching a Major stage, a beast undergoes a promotion, advancing to the next rank.
Mutation and Talent Elevation
Promotion offers limited opportunities for mutation, which may enhance a beast's abilities or, in rare cases, increase its talent rank.
While most beasts cannot exceed their innate talent, exceptions exist, particularly through Labyrinth influence.
3 - The Labyrinth
The Labyrinth is an unknown system that selects individuals from sentient worlds and subjects them to escalating trials. Its ultimate objective is to identify a challenger capable of clearing all 100 levels.
Participants enter the Labyrinth at designated intervals and face monsters, environmental hazards, and bosses designed to test survival, strategy, and growth.
It is a multi-world system, and Earth is only one of many planets undergoing the same test.
