Beast Taming: We're Different

In this world, Beastmasters resonate with the souls of their Phantoms and merge with them to form armor. Bloodlines determine one’s place in society.

Lin Yi is an anomaly.

A game designer in his previous life, he transmigrates into this world with the lowest-ranked bloodline and contracts an E-rated mechanical rat.

Everyone thinks he’s useless.

Until he discovers that the rat doesn’t eat flesh or rely on bloodlines. It feeds only on “knowledge” and “data.”

Until he discovers that the ancient ruins conceal things that don’t belong in this world: metal fragments etched with circuit diagrams, highly integrated circuit boards, and the name of an era deliberately erased from history.

The Mechanical Era.

The truth sealed away during the ancient wars between the gods, and the “gods” who chose to digitize themselves in pursuit of immortality, are awakening from their long slumber.

They see the present world as a program riddled with bugs and stand ready to press the format button at any moment.

And the mechanical rat in Lin Yi’s arms is the one thing they fear most.

Scrap metal isn’t some useless E-rank creature.

It’s the gods’ bug, the backdoor the old era left in the new world, and the only one with the highest administrator privileges, able to delete the program written by a god and start over.
