Born into a dirt poor mining family, Karl only had one chance to get ahead in life, the annual elite recruitment day. On their final day of middle school, every student in the Golden Dragon Nation was given an experimental injection to awaken their affinity with magic.

Those few who succeeded would become the Elite, the leaders and idols of the nation, blessed with incredible magical powers and respected by all. Those who did not would return to their normal lives of hard work and low wages, just doing the best they could.

But with the nation surrounded by enemies, both humans and monsters, how long would these peaceful days of magical idols last?

Follow the story of Karl as he awakens a unique power and strives to become the world's first Legendary Beast Master.

The First Legendary Beast Master

The next morning, Tessa and Lotus, along with the military team's healer, made a big breakfast for everyone, while the rest of the unit took a swim in the lake.

Undershirts and military issued boxer briefs were the fashion of the day, getting the essentials clean while they frolicked in the water. The mages had promised to use air magic to dry everyone when they got out, so for now, it was just time to relax.

Once the cooking was done, the healers traded spots with them, and ate while floating in the water. At first, the unit thought that they'd gotten the better end of that deal, until they realized that it took longer to break camp than it did to cook breakfast.

Karl ended up having to use his sword to disassemble their portion of the camp, as Rae had made triple bunk hammocks for them to sleep in, but the web was too strong for a normal knife to cut through. If he pushed that hard, he would cut through the tree instead.
