The Beast Master's Vow
Taehyung had always been a ghost in his village—hidden in the shadows, a boy condemned to loneliness by whispers of secrets too heavy to carry. Every glance he met was filled with suspicion, every interaction tinged with fear. He never understood why until his father, broken and bloodied on his deathbed, revealed the truth that would shatter the fragile cage of his life.
Taehyung was cursed.
He bore a gift so rare, so feared, it could bring entire kingdoms to ruin—the power to command the monsters that haunted humanity's darkest dreams. His family had buried this truth, locking him away like a prisoner, not to protect him, but to protect the world from him. All his life, he had lived in isolation, suffocating beneath the weight of a destiny he never chose.
But fate is merciless.
The night the beast came was supposed to be like any other—a quiet evening under a silver moon. Instead, it became a nightmare that would forever stain his soul. The monster tore through the village with relentless fury, its claws drenched in the blood of those Taehyung loved. His father, his mother, every voice that had once spoken his name—all silenced by the beast’s deafening roar.
When the dawn broke, it brought no solace. Ash choked the air, the bodies of the villagers lay scattered like discarded dolls, and Taehyung stood alone among the ruins of his shattered life. The silence was deafening. Grief swallowed him whole, a tidal wave of despair that left him gasping for breath.
And yet, from the depths of his agony, a vow was born.
He would hunt the creature that had stolen his family, his home, his world. But vengeance wasn’t enough. Taehyung swore to defy the fate that had cursed him to a life of fear and solitude. He would rise from the ashes, not as a victim, but as a master—a Beast Master.
Yet, grief has a way of twisting even the purest intentions.
As he ventures into a cruel and broken world, Taehyung finds himself hunted—not just by the monsters that lurk in the shadows, but by humans who covet his power. Kings, mercenaries, and factions would stop at nothing to claim him as their pawn. And as whispers of his gift spread, he begins to question whether he is a savior—or the very thing he has sworn to destroy.
The Beast Master's Vow is a haunting tale of loss and vengeance, where sorrow is a constant companion, and hope flickers like a dying ember. As Taehyung battles the darkness within and without, readers will be drawn into a world painted in ash and blood, where even the brightest victories are shadowed by the deepest despair.
Prepare to cry, to rage, to mourn with Taehyung, and to question whether the line between hero and monster was ever there at all.
