Thea never thought she would return here. Not after everything that had happened. But life had a way of circling back, dragging her into familiar halls, familiar faces—and him.

In a world filled with strange phenomena where people and beasts coexist, humans possess the ability to control powerful beasts. A young man named Gu Tian met his end in his original world, but his fate did not conclude there. A mysterious force drew his soul into a new world, where he was reborn as a newborn in a world completely different from his previous one. In this world, everyone, upon reaching the age of 18, awakens at least one innate talent, which ranges across eight levels: SSS, SS, S, A, B, C, D, and F. These talents often shape a person's destiny, determining the path of their future life, barring any external support, such as family or other influences. Gu Tian was born into a family of powerful beast tamers. Both his parents are highly respected beast tamers, and his grandfather is considered a living legend, which set a seemingly smooth path for Gu Tian's life from the start. In this world, beast tamers are categorized by levels. Each level allows a tamer to form a contract with only one beast per level unless they possess a talent to increase the number of contracts. The power levels are as follows Black Iron Bronze Silver Gold Platinum Emerald Diamond King Epic Emperor Each power level is further divided into four sub-levels: Low, Mid, High, and Supreme. A tamer's level corresponds to the highest level of their contracted beast. For instance, a Platinum-level beast tamer with a Low Platinum beast as their strongest contract will also be Low Platinum. Beasts have a potential rank indicating how far they can evolve, mirroring the levels of tamers: Black Iron, Bronze, Silver… up to Emperor.

Armed with his knowledge of science, strategy, and leadership, he refuses to let this world’s limitations bind him. If war is inevitable, he will forge weapons unseen by any kingdom. If famine looms, he will revolutionize agriculture. If corruption festers, he will tear down the old order and rebuild it anew. But as he rises, whispers of his miraculous transformation spread. Old enemies lurk in the shadows, and even greater forces beyond his understanding take interest in the man who should have died. In a world ruled by tradition, will innovation be his greatest weapon—or his downfall?
