Tóm tắt

When Zayne's estranged mother commits suicide the safety blanket he had built around himself begins to crumble. Rebekah leads him to uncover the secrets of his mother's past, and reveal the reason for his future. He has to figure out his abilities while learning about the world his mother kept hidden from him. He soon learns that he is but a small pawn in the plot she set into action before he was even born.

Chapter 1"I walk the path of the Ancient ones. Nature is my church"

Aethalia says while blowing out smoke. She stared at the woods with a glazed expression, feeling him as soon as he appeared. "Are you ready?" Asger whispers wiping her hair away from her forehead, the same tenderness in his touch. Even though they hadn't seen each other in years, had only known each other for one night. He had always felt a keen interest in Aethalia, to him she was an enigma. She reminded him of a spider. Weaving these webs that she only knew the direction of. But as promised they were at the end of the thread. She was out of time. "I think I've done all I could do," Aethalia admits smiling at him, her jade green eyes tired, not full of the same mythical wonder as they were all those years ago.

"I think you've done a little too much, to be honest." Asger chuckles looking around the empty field, startling when she said down in the long grass and lay back. She stretched her long arms behind her head giving him a small smile, her cigarette butt rolled up in one fist, her other hand cradling her head. "I would never give you the satisfaction of killing me," she says when he crouches next to her, feeling her pulse slow. He furrowed his brow anger sparking at his fingertips "The deal was,"

"The deal was," she cut him off giving a shining grin "Was I wasn't allowed to live past this year. And I won't. Henbane works quickly. I had to go out on my own terms." She grabbed his hand knowing he would understand because she knew everything. He scoffed not surprised she used a fucking poisonous plant to take her life.

Her eyes glassed over "I can't wait for you to meet him. He's so amazing." she whispered rubbing his knuckles, she whispered rubbing his knuckles. Asger pulled his hand out of hers and stood up, angry that she had tricked him.

He hadn't necessarily wanted to kill her, but it felt like his ending had been taken away from him. He had planned how he would hold her in his arms and slowly drain the life from her, tasting her death. No, she will have a mortal death, for the strange mortal life she had led. More meager than an ordinary human existence, something that could have stretched for years and years if allowed. Which it was not. She was too powerful, she was not of them, she was the daughter of them. Her ability to see the future was something only they could possess, and it did not take her long to out master the master.

Asger watched the light leave her eyes, the smile still on her mouth as she

breathed her last breath.

He had always thought he would leave immediately when he had been given the task to kill her.

Rather he sat in the grass beside her body, feeling the heat leave her skin as the night air-cooled.

Pulling seeds off of the grass rubbing it between his fingers, he thought of all the

webs she left behind and the trade-off. Wondering what contracts she just sealed

with dying on her own terms. How big of a mess he was going to have to clean up.

GlaringError here! As I have already mentioned in my author review I am restating it here since I am getting tons of comments about it, that I am more of a reader myself than a writer, I made this novel in an attempt to capture my fantasy world residing in my mind into words.. Writing is new for me.. The premise of my novel is inspired by many great works that I have loved over the years. And some elements I have in my novel that are slightly similar to them but it's just the skeleton of it, the real meat of the plot is entirely my own cooking. Some of the influence that is more noticeable is from The Runesmith (By Kuropon), The King's Avatar (By Butterfly Blue) and Shadow Slave (By Guiltythree). I have immense respect for these legends and I can only hope to follow in their footsteps. To all those who comment just by judging the name, at least give it a chance before letting your opinions be known. Thank you.

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. 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. 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 and taming 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... 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.
