Ten years ago, a “Spirit Beast Tide” swept across the globe, bringing human civilization to the brink of collapse. In the midst of the disaster, some people began to awaken. Unique bonded spirit beasts took shape within them, and they became the rulers of a new age: the “Awakened.” These spirit beasts came in all shapes and sizes, with abilities as varied as they were bizarre.

When Gu Cheng, sixteen years old, attended his awakening ceremony, what manifested within him was a black hole capable of devouring everything. This unprecedented bonded spirit beast could not be ranked or controlled, and the slightest mistake could cause it to turn on its Host. Here, every student is a walking disaster: a girl who can trigger earthquakes, a boy whose bonded beast emits poisonous fog, and even a genius with the ability to foresee the future who could go mad at any moment... Gu Cheng must learn to control the black hole through grueling training, while staying wary of mysterious organizations eyeing it hungrily. As fragments of the truth behind the Spirit Beast Tide gradually emerge, Gu Cheng discovers that his awakening was no accident. The disaster from ten years ago is closely connected to the origins of the Awakened, and his black hole may well be the key to unlocking it all…
