Simon Vale wakes up in a world of licensed beast-bonders with no money, no rank, and one impossible advantage: the Skill Index, a hidden system that can copy and accelerate beast skills if his body survives the cost. His first partner is Eleven, a rejected Blacksteel cub everyone calls too stubborn to train, and Simon is about to turn that “worthless” beast into the first crack in the world’s ranking system.
From municipal pest jobs to Meridian University relic labs, from national arenas to Worldroot’s mythic trials, Simon builds a team of impossible beasts: a threadworm that becomes a dragon by rewriting battlefield law, a gentle plant beast that can explode and return, a sword spirit who refuses to be owned as an artifact, a slime that purifies abyssal corruption, a sentient machine core, and a timefold sprite from a failed future.
When Crownstar’s divine ranking war opens, the universe learns what his enemies on the ground learned too late: Simon Vale does not train pets. He rewrites what a species can become.
