Aetherborn: Rise of the Beast Arcanist
Lucian Vale lived an ordinary life—and died an ordinary death.
Overworked, exhausted, and alone, his story should have ended in a quiet office under flickering fluorescent lights.
Instead, it began again.
Reborn into a world ruled by Aether Beasts, where strength is forged through contracts, evolution, and the consumption of beast cores and ancient treasures, Lucian is given a second chance at life—one far more dangerous than the first.
Adopted by a kind family in the mountain city of Stonehaven, Lucian grows up surrounded by warmth he never knew before… and a world where power determines everything.
At eighteen, every individual awakens their talent at the ancient pillar and enters the path of a Beast Tamer.
Lucian expects nothing extraordinary.
But on the eve of his awakening, a small gray mouse—his long-time companion—delivers something impossible.
A mysterious blue-gold artifact.
Ancient.
Incomplete.
Alive.
From that moment on, Lucian begins to see the world differently.
Where others see ordinary beasts, he sees hidden evolution paths.
Where others see limits, he sees possibilities.
Where others follow established rules, he begins to rewrite them.
As he steps onto the path of a rare and revered profession—the Beast Arcanist—Lucian will uncover truths buried beneath the world itself:
About Aether.
About evolution.
And about something far older… waiting to become whole.
In a world where strength comes from what you tame—
Lucian will become something else entirely.
