Chapter 1: Blood Banquet in the Dimensional Rift
The air was thin, reeking of rusted iron and the stench of rotting meat. Amidst the skeletal concrete remains of a skyscraper in District 13, Jaden Grey coughed up a mouthful of blood. He collapsed onto the cracked asphalt as a heavy military boot slammed into his back with enough force to nearly shatter his ribs."Get up, you piece of filth! Don't go dying on me now—you'll ruin my mood!"The voice belonged to Captain Vargon, a B-Grade Hunter gifted with Pyrokinesis. Vargon let out a cold, cynical laugh, looking down at the trembling Jaden with less respect than he would show an insect.Around them, the world had been a living hell since 'The Great Collapse' ten years ago. Dimensional gates had torn open across the globe, spewing monsters that common bullets couldn't touch. The survivors gained the 'System' and 'Awakening', but for Jaden, the system was nothing more than a cruel joke."Look at this," Vargon spat next to Jaden’s head. "A Beastmaster who can't even tame a stray cat. And
Chapter 2: The Hunting Grounds and the Young Master’s Scorn
The lingering adrenaline from the battle in the tunnels still throbbed in Jaden Grey’s temples. He stepped out from the ruins, his breathing heavy, each lungful of air feeling like he was inhaling glass shards. On his shoulder, the Moss Caterpillar looked dull, having lost the violet glow that had erupted moments ago. The little creature had returned to its weak, green state, as if that terrifying transformation had been nothing more than a trauma-induced hallucination.But Jaden knew it was real. The gash on his shoulder had closed, leaving only a red, itchy scar. That was the price of a soul contract forcibly triggered by the system."We need to move, little one," Jaden whispered to his pet.He avoided the main evacuation route. If Vargon’s team saw him alive, they wouldn't hesitate to finish him off permanently to remove any witness to their abandonment. Jaden chose a detour through the West Sector, an area unofficially known as the 'Carrion Fields'. Here, Rank F and E monsters roa
Chapter 3: Intimidation in the Forest Alleyway
The air in the narrow passage suddenly turned static. The sound of water dripping from a leaking pipe against the concrete echoed like hammer blows in Jaden’s ears. The scent of rust, stale petrol, and the predatory musk of Ares’s Silver Wolf mingled to create a stifling atmosphere.Jaden remained collapsed on the ground, his chest searing from Korg’s blow, while Ares gripped his Moss Caterpillar with blatant contempt. In Ares’s eyes, the creature in his hand was nothing more than a useless lump of protein. But to Jaden, that caterpillar was the sole living witness to the remnants of his shattered humanity."Let him go, Ares..." Jaden whispered, his voice raw, mingled with the red fluid seeping from between his teeth. "He has nothing to do with this."Ares laughed, a dry sound that didn't reach his cold eyes. "Nothing to do with it? Jaden, every breath you take is an insult to our organisation. And this pet? It’s proof of just how low your standards are as a human being."Ares slowly
Chapter 4: The Flame of Rage in the Depths of the Soul
The world around Jaden Grey seemed to fade into a dull grey. The sound of Ares’s laughter and his men’s retreating footsteps grew fainter, replaced by his own heartbeat thumping like a war drum in his chest. The pain in his ribs, the sting on his face, and the humiliation of seeing his caterpillar imprisoned... it all melted into a single, boiling black liquid within his soul."Give him back..." Jaden whispered. His voice was no longer human. There was a double resonance accompanying every word, as if another entity were speaking through his throat.In his darkening consciousness, Jaden no longer saw the grimy concrete alley. He saw an endless vacuum—a Void. There was no light there, no sound, only a silence that preyed on everything. And in the heart of that emptiness, a pair of giant, dark purple eyes opened, staring directly into the core of Jaden’s being.[Soul Synchronisation: 15%...][Mental Pressure Exceeding Maximum Threshold.][System Safety Protocol: FAILED.][Unlocking Forb
Chapter 5: The First Void Insect Approaches
The narrow alleyway seemed to tear away from reality. The sunlight creeping between the gaps of the ruined skyscrapers could no longer penetrate the dome of darkness enveloping Jaden Grey. The air around him froze—not because the temperature had dropped, but because of the presence of something that transcended the laws of nature.At the epicentre of the black energy storm, the mass of mist that had shrouded the Moss Caterpillar began to solidify. The sound of bones breaking and being rearranged was gruesome—crack, crunch, snap—clashing with the howling void wind."What is that?! Korg! Do something!" Ares screamed, his voice pitching high with panic. He tried to summon fire mana from his palm, but his flames flickered out instantly, as if the oxygen in the area had been devoured by the darkness.Korg, an experienced D-Grade Hunter, tried to lunge with his short sword. "Stop this black magic, you filth!"But before Korg could get within three metres, a massive gravitational pressure sl
Chapter 6: The Void That Makes Them Kneel
Ares’s shrill screams slowly subsided, replaced by sickening sobs and ragged gasps. In the narrow alley now scorched by the black aura, the atmosphere had transformed into a mass grave for the pride of elite Hunters.Korg, the muscular guard, lay limp with skin that appeared shrivelled. His mana had been completely drained by the energy threads of the Void Insect. Meanwhile, the other two guards could only cower in the corner, not daring to lift their heads, let alone their weapons. They felt as though a mountain were pressing down on their shoulders every time the Void Insect flapped its wings.[Passive Skill Active: Void Pressure.][Targets within range experience 'Fear' and 'Mana Paralysis'.]Jaden stepped forward, his boots treading through Ares’s cooling pool of blood. On his shoulder, the First Void Insect—a pitch-black creature with cold amethyst eyes—emitted a low-frequency hum that pained the ears."P-please... Jaden... don't kill me..." Ares crawled backward, dragging his tr
Chapter 7: Vibrations of Wrath from the Red Light Sect
The wail of magical sirens pierced the silence of District 13. A blinding red glow flickered on the horizon, reflecting off the shattered glass of derelict buildings. This wasn't the city’s standard security alarm; it was a combat mobilisation signal from the Red Light Sect. The organisation that controlled the logistics and trade of Beast Cores in this region was currently consumed by an indescribable fury.At the heart of the sect’s grand headquarters, a marble table was reduced to dust under the clenched fist of a middle-aged man clad in blood-red robes. He was Elder Valerius, father of Ares, a Grade A Hunter whose power was capable of levelling an entire residential block with a single incantation."My son... broken?" Valerius’s voice trembled, not with grief, but with a surging rage so potent that his fire mana scorched the very air around him. "A piece of Grade F trash with a moss maggot... dared to touch my own flesh and blood?"In front of him, Korg and two other bodyguards pr
Chapter 8: Escape into a New Shadow
The world beyond the massive walls of District 13 was no place for humans. As soon as Jaden Grey’s feet touched the sandy soil of "The Outlands", the air felt heavy with toxic spores that glowed with a faint green light in the darkness. The sky here was never truly blue; it was always shrouded by a creeping purple mist—the result of ancient mana pollution that warped the laws of biology.Jaden panted, leaning against a tree trunk whose bark felt like reptilian scales and was as cold as a corpse. Behind him, the fifty-metre-high concrete wall looked like a giant tombstone separating him from the civilisation that had just tried to skin him alive."We made it out, little one," Jaden whispered. His voice was cracked, his throat burning and dry.On his shoulder, Blackie—the First Void Insect—let out a low hum. The creature seemed incredibly alert. Its long antennae vibrated rapidly, catching the frequencies of predators lurking behind the dense thorny bushes. In this place, Blackie was no
Chapter 9: The Horrific Trail of Battle
The silence in the valley of ruins felt unnatural. The sound of the wind, which usually whistled through the cracks of ruined buildings, was now held back, as if the universe itself were holding its breath. Jaden Grey crawled through the rusted metal remains of an ancient harvester robot, his faint purple eyes scanning every inch of the scorched earth.The sharp scent of copper stung his nose—the smell of fresh blood that hadn't yet dried.On his shoulder, Blackie pricked up its antennae. The Void Insect let out a low-frequency hum that was almost inaudible, yet Jaden could feel the vibration of anxiety radiating through their soul bond. Ahead of them, in a crater formed by an energy explosion, lay a sight that would make an amateur Hunter vomit instantly."Damn it..." Jaden whispered, his eyes narrowing.A dozen or so corpses of Hunters in sky-blue uniforms—the signature attire of the Border Guard Sector—lay scattered. But they hadn't died from bullet wounds or common monster bites.
Chapter 10: The Fiery Woman Amidst the Ruins
The air inside the massive cavern felt like hot metal pressed against his lungs. Every time Salsa As exhaled, a thin red vapour escaped her cracked lips—remnants of fire mana becoming unstable within her magic circuits. In front of her, the Void Commander—a three-metre-tall monster with deep purple glowing chitin armour—stepped forward, its long claws scraping the stone floor and throwing off sparks."Surrender, Salsa. Your phoenix has dimmed. Fire has no power in the realm of the void," the monster hissed, its voice echoing off the cave walls like thousands of crawling insects.Salsa As tried to stand tall, though her legs trembled violently. Her iconic red cloak was now in tatters, revealing black burn marks from the Void Stalkers' attacks. Beside her, a small phoenix with feathers like dying embers whimpered softly. Its left wing was broken, dragging on the cold ground."I’d... rather burn to ash... than let a creature like you touch my soul," Salsa whispered, her voice rasping yet
