Starfish City, the last bastion of mankind in an apocalyptic world where alien beasts are rampant. He Xing, a young tactical analyst who was betrayed by his mentor, was exiled from the city on unfounded charges because he refused to hand over research data on "spiritual resonance" that could tame alien beasts.
Outside the city is a paradise for strange beasts. No one could survive more than three days there. But He Xing didn't know that a certain hidden gene in his body was awakening, allowing him to establish a spiritual connection with the alien beasts. When the first tamed Splitback Beast surrendered at his feet, He Xing realized that this was not only a chance to survive, but also the beginning of a revolution that would subvert the world.
Zhou Qian, the mentor who betrayed him, is enjoying honor and status in the city and using He Xing's theory to cultivate his cronies. And He Xing was rising step by step from the place of exile, leading an unprecedented army of alien beasts to launch revenge on the city that abandoned him.
