Tamer Of Cosmic Beasts

Ten years ago, when the Abyss tore open the world and the greatest heroes fell, one young genius walked alone into the darkness and stole its Power Core. The invasion stopped. Humanity was saved. But the Core exacted a terrible price: it shattered his cultivation, crippled his body, and slowly devoured his soul. To keep the Abyss from reclaiming its heart, he refined the Core inside himself in secret for a decade, enduring mockery, abandonment, and the quiet contempt of everyone he had once protected. His fiancée lost respect. His family turned away. Former comrades called him a broken failure. The world forgot the savior who had paid everything. Then the refinement finished. Power returned—not as it once was, but far beyond any known realm. Kael Valerian was no longer human. He had become the Master of the Abyss. On the night of his awakening, he overheard the truth: his fiancée and a powerful noble planned to kill him and seize his inheritance. That night the weakest man in the world vanished. The strongest being in history walked free. Now, under a false identity, he moves through kingdoms and ruins, gathering allies, taming legendary beasts, and unlocking the Abyss Core’s deeper secrets. Old enemies will recognize him. Political wars will ignite. A second invasion will rise. And the true origin of the Abyss—an ancient civilization’s forgotten crime—will force him to confront not only those who betrayed him, but the lie upon which the entire world was built. Revenge. Power. Slow-burn love. Kingdoms at war. And the burden of a forgotten hero who must decide whether to save the world again… or rule the darkness it created. The Abyss Sovereign has returned.

147 monsters. Kaelen Venn remembers every single one of their final apologies. Not out of sentimentality, but because most of them used to be human. In the haunting world of Elegy’s Cradle, ignored grief doesn't just fade away—it transforms. It morphs into hollow, hungering beasts that used to have names. Kaelen is a Grave-Warden. His job? Hunt these creatures down before they spread. His second, unwritten job? Make sure he doesn't become one of them. To fight the darkness, Kaelen has deliberately fractured his own soul, transforming the world’s raw sorrow into devastating power. But this magic demands a terrible toll. He has already forgotten the sound of a laugh he once cherished—he doesn't even remember *whose* it was. Six Wardens carried this burden before him. All six became the very monsters they hunted. Kaelen has survived longer than any of them, but survival feels like a curse. Until he meets **Solm Veylan**. Solm doesn't look like a monster. He looks like a peaceful savior. With the ability to strip away a person's grief, Solm leaves people smiling, calm... and completely empty. Now, with agents embedded in every global faction, Solm aims to awaken a two-thousand-year-old entity to erase grief from the world forever. He calls it ultimate mercy. Kaelen calls it an apocalypse of the soul. Flanked by **Mira**, a half-transformed twelve-year-old girl he chose to save rather than execute, Kaelen stands as the final wall against this blissful annihilation. Because grief isn't a disease to be cured; it is the raw, agonizing price of love. Kaelen has been paying that price for eight years. And he will keep paying it—even if it tears his soul apart. ---

The world ended once. Then it came back wrong. Seven years after the Aura Revival, Earth is no longer safe. New York City has become a war zone. Giant monsters surge through the streets in Beast Tides. Powerful bloodline families rule from fortified towers, using ancient cultivation powers that feel closer to gods than humans. Ronan Burke is nobody. He’s an orphan with no family, no backing, and no talent for cultivation. He survives by running dangerous courier jobs and staying out of sight. Every day is about not getting killed, by beasts, gangs, or the families who control everything. Then one escape goes wrong. Cornered during a Beast Tide, Ronan comes into contact with a relic that should not exist. It doesn’t just give him power. It locks him into a contract. A system awakens in his mind. It gives him one command: Reach Level 16 in every cultivation realm. Achieve perfection. Fail and die. In a world where even the greatest geniuses can barely reach Level 14, Ronan is forced to chase a level everyone believes is impossible. Every breakthrough makes him stronger, and more dangerous to discover. If the families find out what he is, they won’t recruit him. They’ll cut him open to steal his secret. To survive, Ronan must grow in silence. He scavenges the ruins, hunts monsters far above his level, outplays arrogant heirs, and hides his strength at every turn. His only ally is the cold, relentless system guiding him toward a kind of power the modern world insists no longer exists. The Beast Tides are getting worse. The bloodline families are making their moves. And Ronan Burke, the weakest man in the city, may be its last unseen hope… if he can stay hidden long enough.
