BEASTBOUND: RISE OF THE MONSTER KING
Philippe, a former freelance developer on Eclipse Online, makes a fatal mistake when he digs into a hidden anomaly in the game’s code—an anomaly that should not exist. Minutes later, he dies under circumstances that defy logic. When he opens his eyes again, he is no longer human. He has become a Gorathian, a low-tier monster species considered trash within the world’s ecosystem.
But something is wrong.
He possesses an illegal system—Origin Core—capable of absorbing enemy essences, mutating his body, forming essence contracts, and even overriding the natural laws of the world.
Philippe was never meant to survive.
He was never meant to evolve.
Most importantly, he was never meant to rewrite fate.
Hunted by adventurers, targeted by guilds, and condemned by human nations, he makes a decisive choice:
he will build a monster kingdom, an empire forged in darkness, powerful enough to overturn the existing order.
To accomplish this, he will need to:
survive the continent’s absolute hostility,
unite and evolve outcast monsters,
form essence bonds with powerful women,
mutate into increasingly dangerous and strategic forms,
uncover the truth behind the “Ghost Code” manipulating his destiny.
His journey from weak creature to inhuman sovereign marks the emergence of a new empire—one made possible by a single man:
Philippe, the Monster King.
