When Beauty Meets Beast

Ethan Hawthorn was the man everyone loved to despise. As the worthless son-in-law of the modest Hawthorn family, he had spent three miserable years being mocked, humiliated, and treated like a parasite. He worked as a garbage collector, lived in poverty, and watched helplessly as his own wife openly betrayed him with another man. He endured it all for the sake of his aging parents. Until the night he met an old stranger at a grocery store. Ethan had barely enough money to feed his own family, yet he still gave up half of his groceries to help an elderly man who could not pay his bill. That simple act of kindness led him somewhere he never expected. A mysterious house. A cup of coffee. And a deck of ancient cards said to contain the fortunes of those who dared to draw them. Some cards granted wealth. Others brought disease, disaster, or even death. With nothing left to lose, Ethan accepted the challenge. He drew three cards. The first granted him limitless wealth. The second awakened divine wisdom, filling his mind with knowledge beyond anything a human should possess. But the third card was something far more terrifying. It granted him an eternal divine guardian, a being from beyond the mortal world who would serve Ethan for eternity.

Introvert!? Me!? The hell am I an introvert? I stay indoors all day because I am afraid of getting my butt kicked. Until I contract my beast, I won’t be walking freely. This is a promise I made to myself. My name is Ryder, and I am black-marked. The planet where I live is dominated by summoners. If you guessed it, then you are right—we contract beasts from the Astral Shadow Plain and summon them at will after successfully forming a contract. A mark appears on the left shoulder of every human after a period of maturity, a mark given by the beast that chooses you. There are five different types of marks—the brown, the orange, the red, the black, and lastly, the white. Of all the markings, I was marked black. I was chosen by a supreme demon monarch of the Astral Shadow Plain—the Dracogon. There was only a 0.5 percent chance for me to survive the contraction process. However, with a slight twist in the original outcome, contracting a creature from the black-marked plain was nothing compared to the catastrophe I caused shortly after—I opened a link between the beasts of the Astral Shadow Plain and the planet of humans, Terra. Everyone on my planet has been endangered because of me. The fact that no one knows when the link will trigger and cause a breach that pours mindless creatures into my world makes it all the more unsettling. Now, with no other choice, I have to find a way to resolve the mistake I made—alone, just like I caused it.

Rex and his parents were the scorn of their society, branded as the cursed bloodline because of their inability to awaken any beast in a world where the class of your beast determines your status, your future, and whether you live with dignity or die in shame. But Rex wasn't ready to accept a life of servitude and disgrace. He was willing to risk everything at the Awakening Ceremony for even the smallest chance at a different future. Instead, in front of hundreds of nobles, he awakened something worse than trash; a pathetic earthworm that became the laughingstock of the entire academy. At least that's what everyone thought he had awakened. In truth, Rex had contracted an ancient Lung Dragon, a legendary beast capable of endless evolution by devouring the essence of other creatures.

Harry Klein grew up as the disgrace of the Klein family—the bastard son of a daughter who ran away years ago. Raised like a servant and mocked by everyone, he endured endless humiliation while his relatives treated him as less than human. On the day of the Beast-Taming Awakening Ceremony, the family publicly disowns him. “Your mother ran away and left behind garbage,” his cousin John sneers. “Someone like you will probably awaken a cockroach.” The crowd laughs. Even Elder Margaret coldly declares that Harry no longer belongs to the Klein family. But when Harry touches the ancient summoning crystal, the sky erupts with blinding light. A terrifying figure descends beside him—an angel with dark, radiant wings and overwhelming power. Professor Walsh trembles in shock. The beast Harry awakened is not ordinary. It is a Forbidden Angel. The same relatives who mocked him moments ago stand frozen in disbelief. John stammers, “That’s impossible… Trash like him can’t control a forbidden beast!” For eighteen years, Harry endured their insults—especially the shame they placed on his runaway mother. Now, with the Forbidden Angel at his side, he vows to uncover the truth behind her disappearance. And when he does, the family that humiliated him will face the revenge of the bastard they cast aside.
