Chapter 33: The Reborn Hero and the Limits of Power

Far from Crow's domain, another reincarnated soul was making his way through the world.

His name was Ethan Graves, a former top-ranked player in his past life. He had been known as the "Unyielding Tamer", respected for his strategic mind and contract-based gameplay.

But now, as he stood in the middle of a barren wasteland, he scowled.

Unlike Crow, who had been blessed with SSS-rank skills, Ethan had only one ability—Contract (B-Rank).

Ding!

Ethan clenched his fists. One beast.

Meanwhile, the other reincarnator—Crow—was rumored to have an army of powerful creatures. He had heard whispers of a Divine Nine-Tails Fox, a Necromancer Skeleton, and even a Mythical Hive.

Damn it. He thought. How am I supposed to compete with that?

But then, he smirked.

He may be limited in how many creatures he could tame, but that also meant each of his beasts would be personally trained to their absolute peak. Unlike others, he wouldn't rely on numbers—he would rely on quality and strategy.

However, there was one major problem.

Contract-Breaking Stones – A Tamer's Nightmare

In this world, powerful merchants, nobles, and enemy tamers held a terrifying weapon—Contract-Breaking Stones.

These stones could shatter the bond between a tamer and their beast, instantly freeing the creature.

If someone had one, they could steal his only contracted beast at any moment.

Ethan took a deep breath. "I need to get stronger. Fast."
