In a world where strength is measured by the beasts you bind, Kael is nothing. Branded with a cursed sigil, mocked as a Rank Zero, and forgotten by even the lowest tamers, he is the academy’s shame.
But his mark is not a failure. It is a seal.
When the lock finally breaks, Kael doesn't tame ordinary monsters. He chains creatures from beyond reality. Beings that whisper to the void. Beasts the world tried to erase.
They do not follow. They negotiate.
As Kael rises from the ashes of mockery, the balance of power begins to shift. Guild Lords grow nervous. Ancient cults awaken. And the monsters that once ruled the world begin to stir.
Because the boy with no beast has returned.
With everything the world tried to bury.
