The Seven Demon's Tamer Novel

Ryder—black-marked and secluded by choice, though few understand why. Staying locked away isn't shyness; it's survival strategy. The day a beast chooses you, everything changes. That's when I'll reclaim my freedom.

The world operates on a singular truth: summoners command destiny. We forge contracts with beasts dwelling in the Astral Shadow Plain, binding them through marks that sear themselves upon human flesh during maturity. Five colors define human fate—brown, orange, red, black, and white. Each carries its own weight, its own burden.

But none compare to black.

When I received mine, destiny had spoken: the Dracogon, a supreme demon monarch whose very essence demanded an impossible price. Surviving the bonding process held merely a 0.5 percent chance. Against those odds, I persisted. Against reason, I succeeded.

Yet triumph birthed catastrophe.

In conquering the Dracogon's contract, I fractured reality itself—tearing open a gateway between worlds. The Astral Shadow Plain and Terra now stand connected by threads I created. An unpredictable breach looms, threatening to flood my world with mindless creatures arriving without warning.

I alone opened this rift. I alone must seal it.

No allies await. No second chances remain. Just one black-marked summoner confronting the consequences of their ambition, racing against an unknown moment when everything collapses. This burden belongs to me—and only me—to bear.
