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

Orthos smiled at the Elites. "I can see that even with the order, you are still skeptical. You can check the order, and see that it is a valid magical contract, created by your Archbishop. But we are willing to pay for your assistance to the Divine Beasts."

Karl smiled. Now they might be on to something. The beasts had many good things that would be impossible to get for themselves.

"To show our sincerity, we prepared five tokens of our leader's favour. The magic will fade with use, but you should keep them, as they are also used to secure safe passage through our lands."

He opened a chest, and revealed five exquisitely carved black dragon scales from an Overlord Rank dragon, the faithful of the god of death.

[Oh, those are cool. They tilt the scales of life and death in your favour. Enemies take more damage, friends take less when the token is near.] Cara informed Karl in an excited voice.

But Not For Free
