Beast Taming: Start With A Dragon Legion
Fantasy
10
Knox Aston transmigrated into a beast taming world where summoners are regarded as powerhouses and celebrities.
As the heir of the prestigious Aston household, a family renowned for producing elite summoners. Knox was expected to summon something magnificent at his awakening ceremony. But instead, before hundreds of witnesses, he summoned a wingless, rough-scaled drake barely the size of a dog.
The crowd laughed and his brother turned away, while his family cut their funding and wanted nothing to do with him.
What no one saw and no probe could detect, was the ancient castle that appeared behind Knox's eyes: the Dragon Vault, a sealed tower holding the greatest dragon army in existence, waiting for a keeper worthy enough to free them one by one.
The small drake they mocked was Ignis: Commander-class bloodline, dormant evolution path, and the only being on Blue Star Planet whose resonance could unlock Dragon Anchors, the ancient seals trapping dragons across the continent.
In a world where power determines worth, Knox will prove that the smallest flame can start the largest inferno.

Chapter: Chapter 128 — What the Battle Cost
The releases were at seven.Knox hadn’t known that was a thing they did formally until Neris came and got him. Four summons were too broken to keep bound and their summoners had signed for it overnight, and there was a piece of open ground behind the medicine tents where it was done, and the custom at Blackridge was that anyone who could walk came and stood there.Knox could nearly walk. He stood.It took about ten minutes. Each summoner went out alone to their beast and put a hand on it and said whatever they said, and then the light took it apart, and the summoner walked back and somebody else went out. Nobody talked. A boy from the third company got halfway through and couldn’t finish and a sergeant went out and stood next to him until he could.Ignis watched all of it from where he lay.They can’t call them again.No.Ever.No.The drake put his head down.Then it’s the same as dying.It’s not the same, Knox said, because it wasn’t, and then he stopped, because he wasn’t sure the

Chapter: Chapter 127 — The Tide Breaks
Knox never got to answer her.The field answered first.It started somewhere out past the third company and came across the whole line inside a minute — a change in the noise that Knox felt before he could name. Then a Hollowvein Stalker came out of the dust forty yards away, alone, stopped, and stood there turning its head like something that had just woken up in a place it did not recognise.Behind it, along a mile of front, the Tide stopped pushing.“Signals,” Laura said, and she was already moving. “Every horn. Now.”Knox got up because sitting down and watching it was worse.He had one arm and no mana and his ribs made a noise when he breathed, and Neris found him somewhere in the middle of it and put a hand on his chest and told him to stop, and he stopped for about ninety seconds.From where he stood he could see maybe a third of it.The controlled beasts had come apart. Not all at once and not the same way — some of them simply stopped, some of them turned round and went north

Chapter: Chapter 126 — The Two-Spike Falls
Knox walked the last forty feet because he couldn't run them.【 Mana: Critical 】He'd been ignoring that panel for a while. It sat in the corner of his vision and stayed there and there was nothing he could do about it, so he stopped reading it.The Vorul was on one knee in the dirt with black around both legs and one arm, fighting it, and winning slowly.Knox could see the restraints thinning where the shoulder worked against them. Nyxarion was holding, and Nyxarion had never held anything for longer than two seconds before today, and the cold coming off the bond had gone tight in a way Knox didn't have a word for.How long.Not long enough for you to walk."Ignis."The drake came up beside him on three legs, dragging the fourth, breathing wrong.Its stance, Knox said.It's kneeling. It hasn't got a stance.It's got one knee and one arm holding it up. Take the arm.Ignis put four fixed points down the length of that arm from the shoulder to the wrist.【 Pressure Control: 74% 】【 Fixe

Chapter: Chapter 125 — Nowhere to Run
It went north-east and it went fast.Knox couldn't catch it. He knew that before he'd taken four steps — his left arm was dead weight, his ribs were grinding, and there was not enough left in him for Echo Step twice in a row. Half a mile of open ground and it was moving on a ruined knee faster than he could move on two good legs.Ignis couldn't catch it either. The drake got up and went three strides and the bad foreleg went out from under him and put him down on his chest.Don't chase him, Knox said. Look at the ground in front of it.I can't reach—You don't have to reach it. Put it where it's going.Ignis got his head up.【 Distribution: Four Fixed Points 】The ground buckled forty yards ahead of the Vorul, four separate lines sinking under pressure in ground the thing was already committed to. It came down into that and its knee folded and it went over hard and slid.It was up again in under two seconds.But it was two seconds.Knox turned to the shadow.Nyx.I heard him.I'm not

Chapter: Chapter 124 — Cut the Connection
Knox couldn’t go.That was the whole problem and it took him about a second to work it through. The moment he pulled Ignis and Nyxarion off it, the Vorul would either finish the drake or walk into the wider battle and be gone, and Knox had no way to find it again in four hundred acres of dust and no way to make anybody believe him if he did.So it had to be somebody else.He got behind Ignis long enough to turn his head and find the western edge of the reserve ground.“Bael!”The man was fifty feet back with a broken company reforming around him — twenty-odd on their feet, six or seven summons up, most of them somebody else’s.“Morales—”“There’s a relay north-east. Past the third company front, up on the rise.” Knox pointed with the arm that still worked. “It’s feeding the thing. Every time it pulses, the wounds close.”Bael looked at him for about as long as it took to breathe in.“How far past the front?”That was all he asked.He didn’t ask how Knox knew, or what a relay was doing

Chapter: Chapter 123 — The Unstable Spike
It wasn’t hurting.Knox had seen the thing hurt twice today and it had looked nothing like this. Hurt had made it laugh. What it was doing now was standing very still with its own blood on its fingers, looking at the blood, and not being surprised by it.It had known before Knox did.Then it came at them, and everything about the way it fought changed.The first exchange nearly killed Ignis.It didn’t circle and it didn’t wait for the angle. It came straight down the middle on a knee that shouldn’t have held its weight, took the fire full in the chest to close the distance, and put its shoulder into the drake hard enough to lift him. Ignis went over backward. The bad foreleg folded under him on the landing and he screamed down the bond.Left! Go left—Nyxarion’s lines came up out of the ground and got one ankle and held it for a second and a half.A second and a half was less than it had been.Knox got in under the arm and put a Spiral Quake into the ribs and felt the mana go out of h

Kingdom Reboot: Rise Of The Conquest System
System
10
"I died once, stripped of my honor, betrayed by one I considered friend and executed like a dog. Now a System says I can rewrite everything… through conquest."
Commander Aurelius Morales opens his eyes five hours before his execution,naked, mid-embrace with his lover, and haunted by memories of his own death and a glowing screen hovering in front of his eyes:
> [CONQUEST SYSTEM ACTIVATED]
[Rule through power. Claim through passion. Evolve through blood and loyalty.]
Armed with knowledge of the future and a ruthless system that rewards domination, both militarily and intimately. Aurelius sets out to rewrite history. He tries to save his king a second time… and vanishes into the shadows to begin his true campaign: one of war, seduction, and unrelenting rise to absolute rule.
Each enemy slain gives him their strength. Every woman who surrenders her heart-and body-reduces the corruption eating away at his soul. Elven queens, assassin vixens, feral warriors, magical healers, and corrupted witches… they all become pieces in his grand conquest of kingdoms, hearts, and power itself.
But with every woman he touches and every city he claims, the line between savior and tyrant blurs. The system doesn’t just want him to rule, it wants him to consume.
Can Aurelius lead an empire, satisfy the hunger of his growing harem, and stop a demonic apocalypse,before the system turns him into a monster even his lovers can’t save?

Chapter: Chapter 20: I’m Not Dead Yet
The blue words kept flashing rewards but he barely saw them at all. His focus was entirely on the next target. The next threat to eliminate.The vampire who'd thrown Seraphina against the wall tried to escape into the shadows and disappear.Aurelius was faster than shadows.He caught the vampire's ankle and dragged him back across the ground. The vampire clawed at the dirt desperately but couldn't break free from his grip."Wait," the vampire said with fear clear in his voice for the first time. "We can—"Aurelius stomped on his head hard.The vampire's skull cracked against stone with a wet crunch. He tried to heal using his regeneration, but Aurelius stomped again. And again. Until there was nothing left but pulp and bone fragments.[PERSONAL KILL CONFIRMED]The lead vampire watched her forces getting torn apart like paper and how Aurelius moved through demons like they were nothing but obstacles in his way.She was fast and experienced and had fought countless battles.But when she

Chapter: Chapter 19: Take The Fairy Alive
The words flashed blue in Aurelius's vision with cold clinical precision. They measured his failure like a merchant counting losses in a ledger.Something cracked inside his chest at seeing those words. Not physical pain but something deeper than that.But he couldn't mourn or even process what happened because the fight was still raging around him.Seraphina appeared behind another vampire with deadly grace. Her daggers flashed as she cut across his back and neck in one smooth motion that should have killed him. Blood sprayed from the wounds and the vampire staggered forward from the impact.She looked amazing in that moment. Fast and deadly and perfectly trained. Every movement was economical and precise.The vampire turned to face her despite the blood running down his back. He was still smiling even with his flesh torn open."Impressive," he said in a voice that sounded genuinely appreciative.Then he moved faster than human eyes could track.He was so fast that Seraphina barely re

Chapter: Chapter 18: Blood on the Border Road
The battle erupted across the narrow pass as the demons attacked from multiple directions at once.Aurelius's combat instincts took over immediately despite the chaos and his bleeding shoulder."Garrett, secure Lyanna!" he shouted while dodging another claw swipe. "Thomas, high ground! Roland and Bradley, left flank! Joseph and Philip, rear! Seraphina, shadows! William, keep James moving!"His knights moved instantly despite the shock of facing supernatural enemies. Training overrode fear as they formed a defensive half-circle around the broken wagon and the supplies they couldn't afford to lose.Thomas scrambled onto the tilted wagon frame and nocked an arrow with steady hands. Roland and Bradley raised their shields together and braced for impact. Garrett pulled Lyanna behind him while she shook with terror at the creatures surrounding them.Seraphina moved into the shadow of the rocks without a word, already planning her strikes.The three vampires stood back from the main fight and

Chapter: Chapter 17: The Road To Shadows III
Enhanced reflexes let him move while the bandits were distracted. He threw his dagger with inhuman speed and accuracy. The blade buried itself in the leader's throat before the man could shout a warning. Blood sprayed across the fallen leaves as he dropped his crossbow and clutched his ruined neck gurgling as he fell. The other bandits panicked. Some tried to shoot while others dove for cover. Their wild shots went wide as Aurelius's knights attacked from multiple directions. Garrett's sword found a bandit's heart while Thomas strangled another with his bare hands. William limped forward on his wounded leg but still managed to drive his blade through an enemy's ribs. His enhanced speed let Aurelius dodge crossbow bolts that should have killed him. He moved like a ghost between the trees, his sword finding throats and hearts with perfect precision. The last bandit tried to grab Lyanna as a hostage. His dirty hands reached for her hair while he pressed a knife to her throat.

Aurelius glanced at her surprised. "What's that supposed to mean?" "Nothing," Seraphina replied with false sweetness. "Just noting how much she adores you. Must be nice having someone look at you like you're perfect." The comment stung because it came out of nowhere. Aurelius frowned but kept walking. A few minutes later, when Lyanna stumbled again slightly on the uneven path, Aurelius steadied her with a hand on her arm. "Careful," he said. "So protective," Seraphina muttered under her breath. "Such a gentleman." "Is there a problem?" Aurelius finally asked as it was apparent, something was wrong somewhere. "Problem? Why would there be a problem?" Seraphina's smile was razor-sharp. "You saved the innocent fairy. You're the hero. Everyone thinks you're wonderful." The knights exchanged glances. They could feel the tension building but weren't sure why. "What's this really about?" Aurelius asked, stopping in the middle of the path. Seraphina stopped too, crossing her arms. "

Chapter: Chapter 15: The Road to Shadows
The sun climbed higher while they packed their stolen wealth into rough sacks. Five hundred gold dragons made a heavy load even split between eight men. The enchanted weapons added more weight to their burdens. "We need rest before we move," Sir Garrett said. Dark circles shadowed his eyes from the sleepless night. "Half of us can barely stand." Aurelius looked at his knights. They'd been fighting and running for two straight days. Sir Thomas swayed on his feet despite the healing potion. Sir William's face was pale with exhaustion. "Two hours," he decided. "We sleep in shifts. Four men on watch, four resting." They found corners in the broken warehouse where they could lie down on moldy sacks and cracked wooden crates. It wasn't comfortable but it was better than falling over from exhaustion. Seraphina curled up near Lyanna like a protective sister. The fairy sat with her back against the wall, too afraid to sleep. Every little sound she heard made her jump. "It's safe," S
