Tales of Shepherding Gods
What if the weakest profession in the world wasn't Beast Tamer... but Shepherd? And what if the fate of gods, monsters, and humanity rested in the hands of the last shepherd?
Noah Ashwood never dreamed of becoming a hero. He was content tending sheep on his family's humble ranch, far from the wars of kingdoms and the ambitions of Beast Tamers. To the world, a shepherd was insignificant—a man destined to live and die unnoticed.
Then, everything was taken from him.
Overnight, powerful kingdoms descended upon his home, slaughtering his flock, burning his ranch, and leaving behind only ashes. They searched for an ancient secret hidden beneath the land, a secret Noah never knew existed.
On the brink of death, Noah awakens a forgotten inheritance. Instead of granting him overwhelming power, the System opens the gates to the Heavenly Zoo—a mysterious sanctuary where extinct, mythical, ancient, heavenly, demon, and calamity beasts await. But unlike Beast Tamers who dominate monsters through force, Noah can only gain their strength by earning their trust, understanding their hearts, and becoming their Shepherd.
As Noah rebuilds what was lost, strange truths begin to surface. Why was his family's ranch feared by kingdoms? Why were the Divine Shepherds erased from history? And what lies beyond the sealed floors of the Heavenly Zoo?
Every creature he guides uncovers another forgotten legend.
Every floor hides a secret that could reshape the world.
And somewhere in the darkness, something has been waiting for the Last Shepherd to return.
