Awakening

“Don’t complain when the lights go out” These were the words that came out of his mouth before he calmly exited the office. Marcus Leopold, a typical nobody, a medical instructor, is pushed aside by his wife, Lauren Forrest, when she sees that she has reached the very pinnacle of her career. She saw him as nothing but ‘Deadweight.’ But then everything turns upside down when, on the very day she had been dreaming of, she sees him standing with the top dogs of the city. Marcus Leopold wasn't just a nobody; he was the shadow ruler of Mero, the Hidden Ace, and the blade that held the underworld together. He had chosen a quiet life to stay with his wife; for three years, he played instructor at the clinic. But now, he is back, and with his resurfacing, the underworld is shaking, threats are awakening, and new enemies and allies are being born.

The fight between good and evil has always been represented by the two sides of the world: light and darkness. Yes, they say light prevails, but what of its flaws? Are its wielders truly saints? Merlin, an orphan, crawled his way to Holy Light Academy on scholarship, enduring ridicule and scorn for two years, mocked for his weak Light affinity and labeled talentless. Beaten, humiliated, and shunned, he faced every trial without hope. But everything changed when he was gifted with the Mystic Arts System. [Congratulations! You have qualified for the Mystic Arts System. Recognized by two gods.] [Ding! Double Elemental Ability Unlocked.] Awakening a forbidden Dark talent hidden from all, Merlin now wields both Light and Dark, challenging the world’s perception of good and evil, and setting out to prove: elements do not define morality....humanity does.

In a world where one’s destiny is carved by the beast they summon, Shaktivel was born a prince of a fallen lineage. On the sacred Day of Awakening, while others summoned majestic dragons and fierce lions, Shaktivel became the laughingstock of the empire. He had summoned what appeared to be a scrawny, shadow-dwelling wolf—a creature labeled as a "Defective Curse" by the High Priests. ​Mocked by the elites and disowned by his own blood, Shaktivel was left with only two choices: to surrender to fate or to embrace the darkness within his beast. But little did they know, Shaktivel’s beast wasn't a defect. It was the Forbidden Godly Beast, an ancient entity capable of devouring the very stars, sealed away for eons to prevent the end of the world. ​As the seal begins to crack, Shaktivel starts his journey from the dust of humiliation to the throne of the heavens. Those who once trampled on his dignity will soon realize that when the Godly Beast howls, even the gods must kneel. ​"You called my beast a curse? Now, watch it become your nightmare."

In a civilization ruled entirely by Beast Tamers, social status, political authority, wealth, and survival are all determined by the spirit beast one awakens during the sacred Day of Summoning. Weak beasts condemn people to lives of humiliation. Legendary beasts create kings. Divine beasts shape empires. Jesse Fletcher, a poor orphan from the slums of Ashveil City, dreams of escaping the misery that has suffocated his life for years. But on the Day of Summoning, his awakening becomes the greatest humiliation in the city's history. While noble heirs summon terrifying elemental dragons, celestial wolves, and ancient war beasts, Jesse awakens a dying creature rejected by the system itself—a malformed black beast covered in broken golden chains. The elite call it a defect. The priests declare it cursed. The academy brands it worthless. They force Jesse to either destroy it or live forever as the city's shame. But Jesse refuses. Unknown to the world, the creature is not a defect. It is a sealed primordial entity erased from history after the Ancient Beast Wars. A forbidden existence capable of devouring evolution itself.

Plot over smut!!! 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.
