In the Era of the Uncanny, everyone forms a pact with a companion uncanny creature. Some pact with Abyssal Bone Dragons, others with Hellhounds. Xie Jingzhe, born a commoner, awakens the Ancient Theater, but all he summons in his sea of consciousness is a moldy, "Broken Shadow Puppet: Mo Nuo."
It has no overwhelming power or dazzling skills, and the entire internet mocks it as the weakest F-rank support.
A noble family's genius wants to use him as a stepping stone, his mentor considers him a disgrace to the camp, and even the street thugs dare spit at him.
Then, on the day of the practical exam, a forbidden uncanny creature goes berserk, plunging the entire camp into despair.
Xie Jingzhe stands calmly in a pool of blood, making the slightest movement with his fingertips.
The broken shadow puppet grows infinitely larger on the wall. Its rusty scissors close with a soft snip, and the berserk creature's shadow is instantly severed from its head. Its massive body crumbles to ash!
"You call that F-rank support? He copied the ability of my S-rank uncanny creature with one snip!"
