Kai wasn't a warrior. He wasn't a mage.
He was just a quiet, stubborn kid who preferred the company of beasts over humans.
They called him:
"Beastless Kai."
Why
Because not a single spirit beast, monster, or elemental creature had ever chosen him. His soul was too strange too wild, too unpredictable.
But everything changed the day he touched the dying dragon cub in the ruins.
The moment his hand brushed the creature's scales, his vision shattered into pure light.
A voice ancient, feminine, terrifying whispered inside his mind:
Your soul… it is not empty.
It is limitless.
Then the system awakened.
TAMER ORIGIN: BESTIE AUTHORITY.
Rank: Unknown
Description: The user does not tame beasts.
They become his besties bound by loyalty deeper than magic.
Each bond increases the user's power beyond all known limits.
There is no maximum.
The dragon cub looked up at him, eyes glowing gold.
Not afraid.
Not hostile.
Just happy.
Like it had finally found someone worth staying beside.
Kai froze.
Did I just become friends with a dragon.
The dragon chirped and headbutted him.
The system chimed again.
NEW BESTIE ACQUIRED: STARFORGED DRAGONLING.
Effects:
Kai's physical stats increased by 100×
Magic capacity increased by 300×
Soul evolution unlocked
Unique skill gained: "Shared Rage When your bestie is hurt, your strength multiplies infinitely."
As the ruins trembled and monstrous shadows closed in, the dragonling curled protectively around him.
And for the first time in history, the world felt a shift.
Something unstoppable had awakened.
Something the apocalypse wasn't prepared for.
A Bestie Tamer with infinite growth.
The fate of Asterion had just changed.
