The First Beastmaster in the Galaxy

# Beast Taming Level-Up + Interstellar Power Fantasy + Academy Competitions

# So obsessed with saving face that she works her way to becoming the best in the world

Ye Shuangyou is a beast tamer from a frontier planet.

That’s why, when the selection tournament for the lower star systems began, nobody took her seriously.

“She’s just here to make up the numbers.”

“She’s all brawn and no brains. What good is running fast? This is a beast-taming tournament, not a race for beast tamers.”

But when the livestream camera swept across the center of the arena, Ye Shuangyou had made it to the finals with an utterly ordinary phantom beast. All the other competitors were stunned.

“How did my Invincible Overlord Boom Boom Dragon lose to such a run-of-the-mill phantom beast?!”

“My Hell Roaring Mighty Tiger lost to that cat too...”

Ye Shuangyou was secretly pleased, but still put on an inscrutable smile, looking as mysterious and unfathomable as could be.

Though young, she already seemed to have the air of a true powerhouse.

But what Ye Shuangyou was really thinking was:

Because her phantom beast was a tiger! A tiger! How did its small size make them think it was a cat?!

Anyone who judges beasts by their appearance is disqualified!

Several years later, during the livestream of the Alliance Tournament finals, the championship ended in a massive upset. The winner was someone nobody had expected.

Just as everyone was about to ask who the champion was, they spotted a familiar figure at the very top of the awards podium.

Beside Ye Shuangyou, the catlike phantom beast had grown to ten times its original size. It stood guard at her side, glaring fiercely. It had changed so much that people could hardly recognize it.

“Ohhh, the Beast Taming King is here!”

“I’m a die-hard fan of the Beast Taming King. She’s the best in the world!”

A wave of loyal fans suddenly appeared online. They could do it all, from voting for her to making videos and sending support messages in the livestream chat.

Faced with the sudden shift in public opinion, the gossip-loving citizens of Capital Star looked completely bewildered.

“What happened? Who is this???”

“Wait, what did that phantom beast eat to get so big?!”

“Are they all paid shills? Where did all these people come from? I’ve never even heard of her before!”

The livestream camera swept across the arena. Ye Shuangyou stood up straight, facing the lights with her phantom beasts, as if gazing directly at every pair of eyes across the Alliance now fixed on her.

A mighty tiger king with wings, a little white fish covered in brilliant scales, a round-headed mechanical rabbit with a vicious streak, and the rest all crowded close to her.

The phantom beasts surrounded her, each radiating terrifying power, strong enough to crush their opponents in the arena. Yet they bared their softest hearts to their beast tamer.

Click. The camera captured the moment. The venue was packed inside and out, and millions of people raised their arms and cheered for her all at once:

“Champion! Champion! Champion!”

Many years later, Ye Shuangyou took the top seat as the Federation’s Chief Beast Tamer and gave an interview to the Capital Star media.

“You’re asking what my goal was when I set out to get stronger?”

She solemnly straightened her collar. “I just wanted to hear the whole star system cheer for me.”

1. A funny, passionate battle story featuring adorable pets

2. No romance. The plot focuses on competitions, capturing pets, and leveling up

3. A slow start. The heroine is chuunibyou and loves to show off

4. Beast Taming King is the heroine’s nickname. This is an interstellar setting, with no throne to inherit

# Secret Identity Faking One’s Death + Apocalyptic Superpowers + Livestream Chat

When the apocalypse arrived and seawater flooded the land, Hui Yang thought her life was over.

She was an unregistered third-class citizen from a remote town. In a disaster, one more death was nothing unusual.

Then an unfamiliar System voice suddenly rang out.

[Congratulations, Host. You are connected to the Apocalypse Simulator.]

[You have drawn a new identity: Divine Messenger of Sacred Blood.]

[You have drawn a new ability: Absolute Loyalty.]

The sea beast that had swallowed Hui Yang froze, then rolled her out on its tongue.

When Hui Yang opened her eyes, thousands of giant sea beasts surrounded the island in the abandoned waters. They drew in their savage spikes and fangs, and nuzzled her with their softest heads, their voices full of loyalty and affection.

They called her the long-lost queen of Sea City, a city lord blessed by fate.

.

The game called Apocalypse Simulator was in chaos. The players couldn’t find the protagonist at all.

The protagonist had died from a bug on the first day of the disaster.

But the game’s open beta had already begun, and it couldn’t be paused.

The players had no choice but to search among the characters of every kind for the heroine who had survived. The most basic method was to guess them one by one.

The once-in-a-century genius mechanic from the military academy. She always travels protected by heavy armor. Though physically frail, she’s clever enough, and never takes part in direct combat.

The Rose Knight, who fights on the front lines without cracking a smile, appears in the night. Her shadow stretches long and lonely across the ground as she asks you, “Is our faith the right one?”

The gloomy Sacred Blood mage sent down by the Church shields a white dove, using her pure white uniform to cover its bloodstained wings. Call her by her holy name, and she will always answer.

The players immediately rejected them. “No, no, these can’t be her.”

The protagonist was an orphan from the start! Where did all these fancy identities come from?

Before long, some players began switching sides. “I’m going to follow the knight. She’s totally mother material.”

“Our mage is the most gloomy person in the world, sob.”

“Can anyone appreciate this military academy squad leader? She’s so reliable...!”

.

Outside the game, the remaining players who were still searching for the heroine were utterly confused.

“Wait, where did these characters even come from?”

“I never saw any of them in the closed beta!”

Watching the confused and conflicted comments drift by, Hui Yang finally gave a satisfied smile.

That’s right, you can’t recognize me! These are all secret identities I designed with care!

# In short, this is a carefree power fantasy about secret identities. She fakes her death early on and is exposed later. All her secret identities are strong, beautiful, and good at playing up their own tragic stories.

# The heroine is a native with cheats, loves watching the fun, and doesn’t care much about any faction.

# Each of her secret identities has a different role. Before they’re exposed, they’ll act like they’re attacking one another, as when Secret Identity 2 bites Secret Identity 3 and Secret Identity 4 investigates Secret Identity 2. It looks like a crowd of people, but there’s really only one drama queen.
