Synopsis

(This is my first novel that I've decided to commit to. Please let me know what your impressions are, as I would really like to grow as a writer.) Jason had lived a normal life. He had family and friends as well as a girlfriend he was thinking of proposing to. However the peaceful life he was accustomed to ended due to an apocalypse. A series of tragedies drove him to despair until he decided to start over. Using the knowledge he accumulated over a century of life he built a machine fueled by science and magic that would send his soul back in time. But will things progress the way he planned them? Will he get back the things he lost and become the hero of his own story? And was everything he thought he knew the way things really were? Only time can tell...

Chapter 11. Redo

Sweat dripped down my face as I frantically attempted to maintain the system. I had been working decades alone to perfect the technology that will help me go back, back to those days before the catastrophe that wreaked havoc upon our world.

My parents, my younger brothers, my girlfriend, all perished the day the world nearly ended, along with 99.9% of the population. Out of 7 billion people in the world, a little less than 7 million people managed to survive the devastation.

Constant errors occurred as I tried to regulate the temporal anomaly. Sparks flew around me as I attempted to correct each error, panic defined on my face. The system I painstakingly created based on technology and magic I copied from other worlds, beginning to fail spectacularly.

[WARNING. CRITICAL ENERGY OVERLOAD DETECTED. TEMPORAL ANOMALY UNSTABLE. UNABLE TO FIND CORRECT ADDRESS. IMMEDIATE SHUT DOWN ADVISED.]

"Fuck!!!" I managed to get the device to work, (albeit with some faulty components) but I couldn't pinpoint what point in time the anomaly was connected to. If I tried to jump through now theres a chance I could end up after the events I wanted to change or even prior to my own birth, leaving me as a wandering soul with no physical body.

(I really don't want to have to relive all those tragedies nor do I want to be a ghost. But with the way things are going I'll likely die here unable to stabilize the anomally.)

"Yup. This world will likely collapse once the anomaly detonates. I guess its sink or swim." I hobbled my tired and aged body to the anima chamber. Not having much time left I quickly got in and launched the sequence.

[TEN SECONDS FOR SOUL DIFFUSION. HAVE A PLEASANT TRIP. 10, 9, 8,...] (Damn why did I make the V.I. so god damned annoying.)

[4, 3, 2, 1, 0.]

I closed my eyes as the countdown hit zero. Fire had spread within my lab, and the temporal anomaly buzzed violently. I felt a prickling sensation on my skin but becoming numb immediately after, my mind going blank as I left my physical body. Any longer and I would have been torn apart along with the rest of my lab, followed by the world. A soundless void enveloped me and I lost consciousness...

[The System has arrived on your habitable planet, known as ‘Earth.’] [In five seconds, monsters from countless realms will invade Earth.] [Remaining Time: 5 seconds.] [You can now view your attributes, talents, abilities, and skills by simply thinking about them.] [Kill monsters, and you might survive.] “Monsters?” Damian’s breathing quickened as the pain in his chest grew sharper. On the day of the Awakening, humanity was forced to defend against an invasion of countless monsters from the towers that connected realms across the multiverse. While billions of people died helplessly, billions more seized the opportunities hidden behind the horrors spilling out of the gates. Leveling up, growing stronger, awakening talents, learning supernatural skills, changing one's very race, and even achieving immortality all became possibilities. But for Damian, who was suffering from a sickness that would kill him within a few years, the Awakening was a curse. While other humans awakened powerful talents, hunted monsters, and evolved, Damian remained talentless, a liability and a burden the awakened had to carry. Damian never wanted to be seen as weak or useless, but what could he do? He was dying. If only he had awakened a talent or at least possessed a stronger body, he might have been able to level up and cure his sickness. But he couldn’t. All that would change when a mysterious figure set him on a path that would lead him to his true destiny. Witness the rise of a warrior who would make countless men tremble in fear. Witness the rise of a monster who would force every race, every being, and every existence to kneel. Witness the rise of the Champion.

Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons

"Dragons and their spawn rule the skies, the land, and the seas... humanity survives in the cracks, dreaming of a comeback." _____ Power comes from the beast you tame at the tender age of ten. Wolves, hawks, snakes, spiders, chimeras, the stronger your summon, the brighter your future. Too bad for our protagonist. When everyone else summoned salamanders, eagles, troll dogs(not doge) or tigers, he got… Well, let’s just say the only thing lower on the food chain is dirt. Laughed at, bullied, and living as the butt of every joke, he’s not exactly winning. But giving up isn’t an option... His aging parents sold everything for his "failed" chance, and he won’t let it be for nothing. But hey, this is his story. The weakest beast tamer? Here’s the thing about being at the bottom: it teaches you how to climb. And dragons? Turns out they start small too, so... He’s going to tame everything, every evolutionary line. How? Step one: survive long enough to unlock his gift. Step two: tame creatures nobody else dares to touch. Step three: become the strongest tamer the world has ever seen. As kingdoms crumble under greed and external threats, the weakest tamer begins his rise. Follow his path as he unlocks a potential so rare, so terrifying, it leads to dragons… Every evolutionary line leads to the strongest ‘SSS Dragons’. _______ Warning: Contains world-ending dragons, ridicule-fueled underdog revenge, dragon-scaled protagonist, morally questionable nobles, insane creature evolutions and enough twists to make you wonder if weakest really means luckiest. A MC who’s out to prove everyone wrong… even if it kills him. Spoiler alert: It won’t. For those who love a whole lot of fun, this one’s for you. If you’re looking for a darker story, look somewhere else (Maybe Utopian System (;) This one’s about having fun, taming dragons and expectations. _______ If you want to know more about the cover: Yep, that's Luna, the FL... Her skin and clothes are morphing into shimmering scales from her dragon power. Remember Sailor Moon? Magical girls? Now imagine if the magical outfit wasn’t a cute dress, but an actual dragon! The dragon is the dress. Oh, and don’t miss the cool horns. It’s not just fashion; it’s fusion. High-level beasts tend to leave their mark, and Luna wears it like a boss, pulling off the ultimate power move. _______ We will use the same Discord from my first book, come join! https://discord.gg/W3CjfC2cw4 _______ Silly tags that seem to matter a lot to some readers: No Yaoi, No Yuri, Possibly Harem (Vote! I can write either, and in any case, there will be multiple girls. The only difference is whether he chooses one in the end or goes the "liberal" route.... democracy is yours!), No NTR.
