You live in the United States?Imagine if blue mana rain fell and dragons descended from the sky, lifeless, straight into your city or at your doorstep?Tell me what's gonna be the outcome?Lemme guess; mana fuses into everything, including life forms and the non-living and plants will be like, “I will kill everything”, or even four-legged mammalian animals fused with mana begin to grow wings.It's gonna be a damn chaos with a bunch of weird stuff everywhere, I've been there and guess what? I saw a monkey with three asses.Hilarious right? But to me it was terrifying, like, what does a monkey need three damn ass for?But what if this all Mana situation was controlled? What would the results be? Evolution right.Yeah, humans are way too smart to let such an opportunity pass them by, but the same Homo sapiens were devious and selfish; they want all the good things to themselves.In this world, I am Jayden Logan, rejected by my father because I didn't get a great SAT score, but don't worry, I'm a genius. My SATs were low because of these devious humans, you can call them the weapon fashioned against me, but don't worry, I conquered.Eventually, I break through the tough bars of this world of beast taming and gain a beast with potential greater than anyone else's, and I even found true love.But my biggest rival was a scientific organisation, MAGEO and the man in charge? Guess who it was?The United States governor, body and soul.Swears, I was damn fascinated when I realised.They were sure planning something big with those dragons, I wasn't certain of it, but I knew it wasn't good.I don't really know how my story is gonna end, but one thing is certain, I'm gonna cultivate my beast and kick some ass.
