In the world of Barbaros, a world that is in a state of war. In a battlefront, a huge tear broke out from the sky, releasing the mutating energy towards all the creatures below. Deers became gigantic, plants grew humongous, and animals turned into mutant beasts. Cities were ravaged and the world entered a state of emergency.
The war stopped abruptly and the countries united against the beast hordes.
The cities that survived the first wave became bastions of humanity.
The second month of the calamity, the people discovered that they mutated and gained the chance to have the ability to tame the beasts at the age of 18, creating a new era of Awakening and Beast Taming.
Matthias entered Barbaros and entered the body of a pregnant woman. He then integrated with the fetus, strengthening it and making it a clone of his.
When he was born, he heard all of the information that he needed.
He was named Alexander. He was the second kid of the family. His mother's name was Alyssa and his father's name was Miguel.
They were a well-off family that survived the calamity. His father has tamed a demon hound and is currently serving as a small platoon leader in the army of Enos.
This time, he wants to be an MC in the world.
Years passed. He was entering his 18th age where he would awaken.
"Are you ready to contract your beast, Alexander?" Mother Alyssa asked him. He nodded as an answer.
"Go for it, son!" His father Miguel shouted fervently.
"I will!" Matthias smiled and waved goodbye.
Outside the house, he was greeted by a teenage boy, smiling at him. "Alexander, hurry up!"
"Okay!" Matthias nodded and rushed together with the teen. They ran extremely fast. This was a new ability that was added to humans when the cataclysm happened. Humans evolved to keep up with the changes.
A while later they arrived at school. A lot of kids were gathered. Some were excited and some were nervous. It was their time to be tested if they can be Awakened and it will be the time when they will be evaluated and be sent to catch their pets.
Another teen ran towards them, "Sup, Alexander and James. So, what do you think you'll get?"
"I want to have an A class talent so I can become a professional beast tamer!" James said fervently.
"I'm okay with a B class talent, that way I can join the military ranks." Matthias said nonchalantly. He could control his talent and he will get the S Class one. He's just going with the MC route of not expecting too much but later on getting extremely powerful that not even countries could stop him.
"Aish." James looked at him with a joking disdain.
"You know how Alex is, James. He's extremely intelligent but it's as if he has no dream whatsoever." The other teen laughed.
Suddenly, a huge blue bird descended and perched on the roof of the school. The man on the back of the bird jumped from a 15 meter height and landed safely on the stage below. The man was wearing a blue military suit with a cape on its back. He was exerting dominance over the students below.
"I am Commander Lukas Graven, Leader of the Fifth Battalion. I am here to supervise your Awakening and look for promising candidates." He said loudly.
"Lukas Graven? Isn't he the Commander-in-Chief of the country's Southern Frontline? I heard he defended Marun Bastion seven times and won all of them with his pet Ice Roc!" One of the students gasped.
"As how it usually develops, the MC will meet someone of high status and in the future that man will idolize him. It's fortunate that I read a lot of novels." Matthias thought and laughed secretly.
"Now line up, students! Let's see if you can Awaken!" One of the teachers shouted.
The first student ascended to the stage and tried calling out his Awakening, but to no avail. He sighed and walked away.
One by one, students tried to summon their Awakening but they failed. They can't be blamed as it is just more than 18 years since the calamity happened, and the right way if Awakening hasn't been discovered yet.
Suddenly..
"She awakened!" One of the students shouted. Above the stage, a girl was floating and powers flowed onto her.
She felt very light and fast. And she felt that she's empty. "I have awakened.." She said.
"What a crude way to awaken." Matthias shook his head.
"Let us see your potential." Lukas walked to her and touched her pulse to feel the energy.
"A grade potential? Very good!" Lukas nodded. The girl was happy and she was recruited as a trainee.
It was Matthias' turn now. He walked up to the stage and stood in the middle. He closed his eyes to feel the surroundings.
Only the Awakened feel this but, around the world, the Spirit Realm Qi has already pervaded the world.
By imagining absorbing those qi, he slowly floated. "Another Awakened. This will boost Country Cipha's strength and defense." Lukas nodded with satisfaction.
Matthias then merged some of his mental energy to the qi and something amazing happened.
Suddenly, a bright light came from the sky. A visible blue strand of energy slithered its way to Matthias' head.
As soon as the strand entered his mind, he discovered that he was in the Spirit Realm. Being the creator, he knows the real procedures on how to become a proper and professional beast tamer.
By collecting Spirit Realm Qi and sending a sliver of mental energy, it creates a connection with the soul and the realm. Now his goal was to find the proper beast to establish a contract with.
He then looked around. There were beasts with blue light surrounding it and beasts with dark smog enveloping it.
These were the Light Beasts that allied with the Sylphine Spirit Kingdom and the Dark Beasts that were under the Dark Xyton Empire.
