Five hundred years ago, the sky over the world of Asterra split open.
It wasn't war. It wasn't a god.
It was something worse — the first Gate.
Tearing through the heavens like broken glass, it pulsed with red light and unnatural silence. Then came the monsters.
Creatures made of fire, bone, and shadows spilled across the skies. They leveled cities, devoured armies, and shattered the old world overnight.
No magic. No heroes. Just blood.
And just when the end seemed certain... something awakened within humanity.
From deep within certain people, Beast Spaces emerged — mysterious soul-bound realms capable of nurturing powerful creatures.
Those with large spaces could tame deadly monsters.Those with tiny ones? Left behind.
Over centuries, Asterra rebuilt itself around these powers. Cities rose from the ashes — Virelia, Dustveil, Granzheim — all protected by elite Beastmasters, those who could enter dungeons and command tamed creatures.
Now, the size of your Beast Space determines your future.The more beasts it can store, the stronger you are.And the rest? Forgotten.
In the slums of Dustveil, on a rooftop of cracked concrete and rusted steel, a boy stirred beneath a tarp blanket.
Rin opened his eyes to another choking sunrise.
Today was his Awakening Day.
And he was afraid.
