Year 2077, a city shrouded in demonic fog.
Human civilization once teetered on the brink of collapse amid the demonic calamities of the "Dark Tide Era." Now, under the faint light of the "Dawn Era," it maintains a fragile balance with the flourishing demon clans. Beast Tamers have become the symbol of power in this new age.
Lu Fencheng, an orphan of mysterious origins, carries his only keepsake, the Book of Demonic Beasts, as he enters the Federation's premier Beast Taming Academy. Here, family background and bloodline determine everything. He's dismissed as a worthless nobody with no name or roots, and treated with contempt. But no one knows that his shabby notebook, mocked by all, is actually a divine artifact recording lost paths for demonic beast evolution and forbidden mutation formulas.
While the scions of powerful families rack their brains trying to raise their pets by even a single minor rank, Lu Fencheng uses the knowledge in his book to reverse-refine a lowly Fire-Tailed Rat, reforge its bloodline, and evolve it into a mythical calamity beast: the World-Burning Demon Ape.
In a classroom duel, he casually guides the campus belle as her dying young Snow Phoenix completes a sacred evolution. In the underground beast arena, he commands mutated demon pets to crush the pride of every challenger with overwhelming force.
Yet beneath the peaceful campus, undercurrents are swirling. The student council president tries to recruit him, heirs of powerful clans hunt him down, and a mysterious organization watches from the shadows, coveting the Book of Demonic Beasts... All of it makes him realize the book carries enough weight to overturn an entire age.
"They all think the ultimate goal of beast taming is to sit on a throne."
Lu Fencheng runs his fingers over the pages, flames that could consume everything blazing in his eyes.
"But now that I'm here, I'll lay down new laws upon these ruins!"
