The BeastKeeper From Hell

[WebNovel Rising Star II Entry: Beast Taming Event] Diablo was an apex predator in the world of assassins, a shadow slipping between shadows, executing missions with the precision and detachment of a machine. Rumor painted him as more myth than man, a ghost devoid of warmth or humanity. Whispers said he served no one, lived for no cause, and answered only to the cold allure of coin. That was, until one fateful night. Amidst his most brutal mission that made him entirely lost humanity, he stumbled upon a peculiar sight: a three-headed pup scrounging for scraps in a trash-strewn alley. It looked abandoned, so he took it in as a way to sooth himself for what he had done, assuming it was just a poor creature born with a deformity. But as days passed, Diablo began to notice something strange about the pup—something unsettlingly unnatural. “Well, well. It seems the infamous Diablo has a weakness after all.” “?!” In that instant, they aimed at the dog. Diablo, clinging to his last thread of humanity, sprang to defend the creature—only to fall in the effort and died. But a twist awaited. The pup he’d so valiantly protected was no ordinary dog but a Cerberus, a beast born of the infernal depths. In a flash, it transported Diablo’s soul to the underworld and laid him before Lucifer himself. “Bring back the beasts who have escaped from Hell,” commanded the Lord of Darkness. With that, Diablo was resurrected and given a new purpose.

Whispers from the abyss

(Series canceled; you’ll find a remake on my profile, where I’m fixing the story’s flaws and improving the narrative.) Kaeleen has spent his entire life in the shadows of despair, tormented by his peers, rejected by his own family, and betrayed by those he trusted. His depression drives him to the brink of an irreversible decision: suicide. But when he decides to end his suffering, something unimaginable happens. Instead of finding the end, he is transported to Aether, a world governed by magic, fantastical creatures, and unfathomable mysteries. Aether is a ruthless place, where weakness is tantamount to death. Kaeleen, along with hundreds of young people like him, is forced to participate in a dangerous process to obtain a mana core that will allow him to survive. But the cost is high: the process kills most of the summoned, leaving only a few with the ability to harness the world’s vital energy. As Kaeleen struggles to understand this new world and his own power, he faces a disturbing revelation: he possesses a rare and feared affinity for dark mana. The whispers around him grow louder, and not even Princess Selene can hide her fear in his presence. Even the knight Sir Aldric looks at him with disdain. Why? What secrets does Aether hold, and what does the presence of dark mana in Kaeleen mean? Accompanied by Borik, a man who has seen as much suffering as he has, Kaeleen must decide who to trust as tensions among his new companions rise. Is Kaeleen a threat to this world or its savior? And, most terrifying of all: who is he, really?
