In a fractured world stitched together by ancient contracts and the whispers of summoners, power is everything—and Ryan, a dirt-born runt from a nowhere village, wasn’t supposed to have any. When his body surges with a volatile current known only as Dioki, the arcane lifeblood of creation, Ryan is plucked from obscurity and hurled into the political meatgrinder that is Kuma Academy. But while other students shape-shift reality with vampires, elves, and demonkind, Ryan summons something that shouldn't exist: a colossal entity wrapped in time-stained myths and riddled prophecies—Sphinx, a divine beast of ancient fire and truth. Sidelined as a freak. Watched like a weapon. Revered by beasts. Feared by men. The world had rules, but Ryan’s presence is the motherfucking exception. And when an ancient war that bled the stars dry stirs again, it's not the princes or the council who will decide the fate of the realms. It’s the kid with muddy boots, bloodied knuckles, and the unshakable audacity to summon monsters the gods themselves abandoned. Unspoken Premise: “The Beast-Binder and the Cursed Blood” Ryan never asked for power. But when Dioki awoke within his bones, he was shoved into a world where summoning rituals shape empires, and bloodlines rule with iron, magic, and fire. Unlike his noble-blooded peers, Ryan’s magic doesn’t bring forth elegant fae or winged seraphim. He calls down the old ones—divine, brutal, and beyond control. With Sphinx, his first divine beast, kneeling beside him, and a war brewing in the shadows, Ryan must navigate deceitful politics, alien invaders, and a summoner’s hierarchy designed to break those who dare defy blood.

He had been framed, his soldiers had been killed and his family had been exiled, it wasn’t long before they came for his head too. His fiancé had sold his family secret just to get back at him and his best friend had shown his true colors while also revealing the real nature and goal of the tyrant king he had spent his entire youth serving. There was no escape, he was a sinner who was detested by the civilians he protected at the frontier, of course he had to die. There was no time to check the right and wrong. Those who should be executed shouldn’t be left standing. Death visited him and claimed his life, but it never took him away. Instead, he was thrown back to six years when all the chaos hadn’t happened and he wasn’t even a general talk less of a sinner. His fate could be rewritten. But nothing was ever easy, he woke up in the body of a good-for-nothing man who was six cities away from his former city, the city he found himself in was the third poorest city in the whole empire.

But nothing had ever stopped him before, he was a stubborn man who was resilient even in the face of death.
