[Otherworld Fantasy + Spirit Beasts + Establishing a Faction in the Middle and Later Arcs]
At sixteen, forming a contract with a spirit beast is the only chance anyone on the Cangtu Continent has to change their fate.
Gu Ya and Lin Bai are two boys scorned by every spirit beast. One contracted a crow that does nothing but caw, while the other contracted a harmless-looking white dove.
On the night they were thrown out onto the street, Gu Ya was fretting to his crow about where they would sleep the next day when he flicked out a crow feather, shooting straight through a hotel wall.
Lin Bai closed his eyes and tried to communicate with the dove. An ability called "Probability Manipulation" burrowed into his mind, and he casually made Gu Ya slap himself.
The two unlucky bottom-rank Sequence Nines had barely had time to celebrate when they ran into the Bloodfang Organization hunting a little girl in the street. She was twelve years old, clutching a teddy bear, but hidden inside her body was the continent's most forbidden secret.
There was also a fat man whose spirit beast was a golden toad.
From then on, the crow, the white dove, the golden toad, and a little girl clutching a bear began a desperate escape, pursued across the world by people carrying torches.
They would have to start at Sequence Nine and climb upward, one step at a time.
And the spirit beasts, academies, and world that looked down on them would learn one thing sooner or later.
Crows don't just caw, and doves don't just coo.
