Scared by Blood –

In a world where beast tamers hold great power, Samuel, a young tamer with an extraordinary and forbidden ability, embarks on a journey that will shape the fate of the continent. Unlike ordinary tamers who control living monsters, Samuel can tame the souls of dead beasts, gaining their powers and even commanding their bodies.

The Beginning:

Samuel lived a peaceful life in a small village until his mother revealed the truth about his father and his hidden power on her deathbed. Determined to grow stronger, he left home, trained in secret, and eventually registered as a beast tamer in the capital Zoria. There, he met his closest friends—Elaine, Marianne, Sylvia, and his childhood best friend, Lancelot.

The Attack on Zoria & Awakening of Power:

While on a job in the capital, Ezekiel (Vox Sanguinis), an infamous beast tamer, led an invasion using monstrous creatures known as the Malugna. In the chaos, Lancelot was killed before Samuel's eyes, breaking something inside him. Fueled by rage, Samuel swore revenge and awakened his Soul Tamer abilities. He summoned Bahamut, the Legendary Dragon, forcing Ezekiel and his forces to retreat.

Rising Fame & New Challenges:

As Samuel continued his journey, his power grew:

He fought and tamed a Leviathan, gaining the ability to breathe underwater.

He traveled with his party and Jason, a warrior from the neighboring nation of Sylphora.

His abilities spread across the continent, catching the attention of kings, nobles, and enemies alike.

He formed complex relationships, including a growing rivalry and romance with Lyra, a noblewoman who served the king.


A World in Conflict:

Samuel’s increasing power brought both respect and fear. Some saw him as a hero, while others saw him as a threat to the balance of power. The King of Zoria summoned him and his party for high-stakes missions, including investigating a leviathan threat in the city of Lorigna and defending the kingdom from external and internal enemies.

But beneath the surface, a greater danger looms—a secret war between powerful factions, hidden forces that manipulate events from the shadows, and the mystery of Samuel’s own past.

As he continues his journey, Samuel must face betrayal, loss, and the burden of his abilities. He will be forced to make difficult choices, knowing that every beast he tames, every enemy he defeats, and every soul he claims will shape his destiny.

Is Samuel a savior, or will he become a monster feared by all?

The world will soon find out.

SCARED BY BLOOD ( Beast, God, Man?)

After leaving the royal palace, Samuel and his party finally returned to their inn.

The day had been exhausting—from the celebration at the docks, to the guild meeting, to the palace encounter with Princess Lucia and the King.

The moment they stepped into their rooms, Elaine collapsed onto a chair, Sylvia stretched, and Jason threw himself onto the nearest bed.

Jason sighed. "I swear, I thought we were going to die back there."

Samuel raised an eyebrow. "From the palace meeting?"

Jason smirked. "No, from Lucia. She looked like she was about to eat you alive."

Elaine chuckled, while Sylvia grinned. "Samuel, a princess openly flirting with you? You're really moving up in the world."

Samuel shook his head. "It's not like that. She was just teasing."

Sylvia rolled her eyes. "Sure, keep telling yourself that."

Elaine smiled softly but said nothing. She still hadn't told Samuel about her feelings.

Lyra, who had been silent for most of the walk back, finally spoke. "We should be careful."

Lyra crossed her arms. "We just returned from slaying leviathans, and now the royal family is suddenly interested in Samuel? It's not a coincidence."

Samuel thought about it. She had a point.

"I agree," Elaine added. "Samuel's ability to tame monsters is no longer a secret. People will start paying more attention."

Jason sighed. "That means more work for us."

Sylvia grinned. "More work means more gold."

Jason laughed. "You and your money."

Lyra looked at Samuel. "Just… be careful. Don't trust them too easily."

The next morning, a royal messenger knocked on their door.

"The King requests your presence at the palace," he said.

Jason stretched. "Guess our rest is over."

They got ready and headed back to the palace.

When they arrived, the King and Princess Lucia were waiting for them.

Lucia smiled brightly at Samuel. "Good morning, my hero."

Samuel cleared his throat. "Good morning, Your Highness."

The King chuckled. "Enough teasing, Lucia." He looked at Samuel and his party. "I have a request for you all."

Samuel nodded. "What is it, Your Majesty?"

The King's expression turned serious. "A new problem has risen. There have been strange disappearances near the northern border. My knights investigated but found nothing."

The King nodded. "At first, it was just a few merchants. But now, even trained warriors have gone missing."

Lyra narrowed her eyes. "You think it's another monster?"

The King sighed. "We're not sure. That's why I want you all to investigate."

Sylvia smirked. "Sounds easy enough."

The King gave them a map. "Head to Drelmire, the last village before the northern border. Find out what's happening. If it's a monster, eliminate it."

Samuel took the map. "Understood."

Lucia stepped forward. "Take care of yourself, Samuel. I'd be very sad if something happened to you."

Elaine, Sylvia, and Lyra all frowned at the same time.

Samuel and his party left the palace and prepared for their journey.

Lyra walked beside him. "This is getting complicated."

Samuel nodded. "Yeah. We're getting involved in something bigger than just monster hunting."

Elaine smiled softly. "We'll handle it together."

Samuel looked at his team and nodded. No matter what was waiting for them in Drelmire, they would face it together.
