In a world where beast tamers rule cities and gods slumber in the digital wilds, eighteen-year-olds undergo the Cosmic Soul Sync — a system-wide ceremony that grants them ten pets sealed behind progressive power levels.

Kairo Veylan expected a rough start. After all, he remembered this world — from a novel he once read in his previous life. He knew the pain of being a background character, forgotten and mocked. And when he draws a laughable Data Mote, the weakest pet imaginable, it seems history is repeating itself.

Until the system glitches.

What was supposed to be a 1-star pet evolves instantly into something beyond classification. Kairo doesn't just unlock a hidden path — he breaks it wide open. Unknown to him, the other nine pets in his roster aren't ordinary... they are elemental gods, each ruling a piece of the universe, locked behind power gates only he can break.

Armed with forbidden knowledge and a glitch-born companion that defies logic, Kairo must rise through tournaments, dungeons, and digital realms — all while a buried truth stirs behind the Ten Thrones he was never meant to awaken.

The system wasn't ready for him.
The world isn’t ready for what comes next.

Tamer of the Ten Thrones

The screen went dark the moment Kairo clicked the link.

For three seconds, he was suspended in digital silence—no sound, no system notifications, no light except a slowly spiraling glyph.

"Master," Mote whispered, "we are now beyond system jurisdiction. Proceed with caution."

The interface rippled like oil. A voice—not code-synthesized, but human—came through.

"You brought a Throne online. Either you're suicidal… or chosen."

A figure materialized: a shadowed avatar, draped in code-fragments and glitches, face permanently obscured by a shifting firewall mask.

"I'm called Zeroer. Former Tamer. Exiled. And bonded once… to the Third Throne."

Kairo's breath caught. "Which element?"

"Exactly," Zeroer said. "That's why they erased me."

Zeroer waved a hand and data flared around them—fragments of corrupted logs, purged battle footage, and video files so damaged they bled static.

"You've bonded to the First. The Data Throne. The Seed of Restoration. That thing—your little mote—isn't a pet. It's the Root Protocol."

Kairo's mind raced. "Then why does it seem… normal? Small?"

"Because the Thrones grow with awareness. With memory. Every skill it learns, every command you give, feeds the original will beneath the code. You're not raising a beast."

Kairo stood silently, then said, "What happened to your Throne?"

"Because Oblivion doesn't stop. It consumed every other pet I had. Every code. Even my bondmark.""The system tried to erase me after I refused to finish the ascension. Said I was unstable.""They weren't wrong."

He looked straight at Kairo—even through the firewall, Kairo could feel the weight behind that gaze.

"You're heading there, whether you want to or not. You woke one. The others will answer soon.""The Second's already pulsing. You feel the storm, don't you?"

"Yes," Kairo said quietly.

Lightning had been humming in the back of his head for hours. Crackling dreams. Pressure behind his eyes.

"When the Second awakens," Zeroer said, "you'll draw attention."

"Not just tamers. Not just guilds.""The System itself."

A new alert screamed into Kairo's feed:

[System Trace Initiated — Source: CLASSIFIED AI NODE / Protocol: REDTHREAD][Warning: You are being watched.]

Zeroer cursed. "Too soon. They traced your ping signature."

"Only if you run now. I'll send a splinter echo to throw them off.""Next time, come with your storm unsealed. Or don't come at all."

Before Kairo could respond, the Undernet interface dissolved.

Back in the academy's netroom, Kairo gasped—jolting upright. Sweat poured down his neck.

Mote hovered beside him, blinking red.

"We were tracked. But the echo fragment held. Barely."

"A system-level protocol designed to erase illegal pets, corrupt signatures, and force-kill tamers marked 'Unstable'."

"It's used against those who awaken Thrones."

Kairo stared at his reflection in the dark glass of the netroom.

Like thunder, waiting to crack open the sky.
