In Aofalund, magic is breath, foundation, and the scales by which everything is measured. Everyone can wield the elements and command change, and dazzling magic illuminates the entire world. Yet beneath this brilliance, an ordinary boy named Zeng Ruize awakens the most unusual and most doubted discipline of all: Summoning.
While noble prodigies summon mighty wolves of wind and thunder with a wave of their hands, and elemental geniuses unleash flames that scorch the heavens, the magic circle beneath Zeng Ruize’s feet glows a dim gray. The one who answers his call is no divine beast or demonic dragon, but a tiny slime, the weakest creature of all, one that everyone laughs at.
Mockery surges around him, and the name “useless summoner” soon spreads far and wide. But Zeng Ruize’s composure and resolve, far beyond his years, help him see what makes this “useless” companion unique: a bond that reaches beyond master and servant to resonate directly with the soul, a strange connection that feeds back into his own strength and accelerates his growth.
While the world is enamored with forced contracts and domination through power, Zeng Ruize takes a completely different path. With wisdom as his boat and understanding as his oar, he searches countless planes for overlooked, “weak” souls. His summoned beasts are slimes, skeleton soldiers, seemingly useless fairy dragons… Yet under his command, they shine with a power that overturns expectations and rewrites the rules!
But the world’s shadows have never been far away. The Northern Empire’s iron hooves are poised to advance, while whispers from the Abyssal Rift foretell an ancient calamity. When war reignites and the end draws near, those who once mocked him finally realize that behind this quiet boy stretches a brilliant sea of stars.
