The Beast Sovereign of the Fallen Towers
authorandauthors.a · Ongoing · 76.2k Words
Introduction
The world runs on "Essence", a system that rewards strength, crafting, taming, and conquest. Most people struggle just to survive the first 10 floors. Seo Jun-Ho discovers he has a unique "Primordial Palate" trait that lets him cook monsters and magical ingredients into dishes that grant permanent stat boosts, skills, and evolution paths. Combined with his military background and a rare Beast Sovereign class, he begins building something far greater than just personal power.
As floors grow deadlier and ancient secrets awaken, Seo Jun-Ho will cook, tame, conquer, and rise until even the gods of the system tremble before the Beast Sovereign.
Chapter 1
The knife slipped. That was the last thing Seo Jun-Ho remembered from his old life.
One moment he was in the back alley behind his small restaurant in Seoul’s Hongdae district, taking out the trash after a long night of service. The next, a drunk driver in a modified Sonata slammed into him at full speed, crushing him against the concrete wall.
Pain, darkness, then nothing. Until a cold, mechanical voice shattered the void.
[Transmigration Complete]
[Host: Seo Jun-Ho – Age 28]
[Class Acquired: Beast Sovereign (Mythic)]
[Unique Trait: Primordial Palate (Legendary)]
[The Towers have arrived. Welcome to the new era, Ascender.]
Jun-Ho’s eyes snapped open.
The familiar neon lights of Seoul were gone. The sky burned blood-red, thick with swirling black clouds and massive floating runes. Towering obsidian spires, each one impossibly huge, pierced through the city skyline like spears of the gods. The Namsan Tower in the distance was half-destroyed, wrapped by glowing vines and crawling creatures.
Screams filled the air.
Cars were flipped. Buildings cracked open. Monstrous howls echoed between the alleys where college students once walked.
Jun-Ho pushed himself up from the shattered pavement. His black chef’s coat was torn, but his body felt… different. Stronger. The dull ache from years of military service and brutal kitchen hours was gone. In its place was raw power humming under his skin.
A translucent blue window floated in front of him.
Main Quest: Survive the First Night
Reward: Basic Survival Kit + 500 Essence
He barely had time to read it before a low growl came from the alley entrance.
A creature the size of a large dog stepped out, twisted, wolf-like, but with crystalline spikes growing from its spine and glowing violet eyes. Its fur was patchy, stained with fresh blood.
It wasn’t alone. Two more emerged behind it.
Jun-Ho’s lips curled into a cold, calm smile. Even in this madness, his mind was clear. Twenty-eight years of life, eight in the ROK Army Special Forces, then building his restaurant from nothing had taught him one thing: When death comes, you don’t hesitate.
He looked down at his hands. Black tattoos resembling coiling serpents and ancient runes slowly moved across his skin. A strange hunger awakened in his chest — not ordinary hunger.
“Primordial Palate” was whispering to him.
“This creature… its meat will be excellent.”
The first wolf lunged.
Jun-Ho moved. Muscle memory from years of combat training merged with his new stats. He sidestepped sharply, grabbed the creature mid-air by the neck, and slammed it into the ground with brutal force. Bones cracked.
The second wolf bit into his arm. Pain flared, but it was manageable. Jun-Ho drove his elbow into its skull repeatedly until it let go.
The third was smarter. It circled.
Jun-Ho didn’t wait. He snatched a broken metal pipe from the ground and impaled the second wolf through the throat. Then he turned to the last one.
“Come,” he said quietly, voice deep and steady.
It charged. He met it head-on, kneeing it in the jaw before stomping down on its neck with full force. A sickening crunch ended the fight.
Silence returned to the alley, broken only by distant screams and explosions.
Jun-Ho breathed heavily, staring at the three corpses. Blue windows popped up one after another.
[You have killed Crystal Spine Wolf (Lv. 7)]
[Essence +70]
[You have killed…]
Then came the most interesting one.
[Primordial Palate activated.]
These creatures contain valuable essence. Recommend immediate processing.
Possible Dishes:
- Crystal Wolf Steak (Strength + Agility boost)
- Blood and Spine Broth (Regeneration + Minor Poison Resistance)
A small injured pup, probably from the same pack whimpered from behind a dumpster. Its leg was badly wounded, and its crystalline fur was dull. It looked up at Jun-Ho with fearful but intelligent eyes.
Most people would have killed it for more essence.
Jun-Ho crouched slowly.
He tore a strip from his chef coat and carefully wrapped the pup’s injured leg. The small wolf flinched but didn’t bite.
“You’re coming with me,” he muttered. “I don’t kill useful things.”
A new window appeared.
[Rare Opportunity Detected!]
Would you like to attempt taming the Crystal Spine Wolf Pup?
Success Rate: 68% (Increased by Beast Sovereign Class)
Jun-Ho didn’t hesitate.
“Yes.”
A stream of dark, shadowy energy flowed from his tattoos into the pup. The small wolf yelped once, then its eyes glowed with new loyalty. The bond formed.
[Congratulations! You have tamed your first beast Shadow Crystal Wolf (Pup)!]
Name your companion.
Jun-Ho thought for a moment.
“Kage,” he said. Shadow.
The pup, Kage limped forward and rubbed its head against his leg.
Jun-Ho stood up, pipe still in hand, three fresh wolf corpses at his feet, and a new companion by his side. The red sky above Seoul pulsed with menace. More towers were descending in the distance. The world had ended.
And yet, for the first time in years, Seo Jun-Ho felt truly alive.
He looked toward the massive black tower that had appeared near the Han River, eyes burning with ambition.
“If this world wants to turn everything into a game…”
He picked up one of the wolf corpses, slinging it over his shoulder with ease.
“…then I’ll cook my way to the top.”

Bloodright
Ashveil University is not what it looks like in the photographs. The students here carry something that shifts their eyes at the edges of anger. The northwest trees hold an attention that trees should not be able to hold. And the empty chair at the council table, the one nobody sits in, the one nobody explains, has been waiting three hundred years for one specific person to arrive.
Nobody told Adaline she was that person. They classified her as Dormant. A blank space in a file. Nothing.
She is the opposite of nothing.
Beneath the campus, three ancient entities are waking up. Every house in the pack world wants to control what runs in her blood. The boy sent to assess her has stopped being able to do his job. And the woman who has been three steps ahead of everyone since before Adaline was born is not a villain. She is a warning. She is what Adaline would have become if nobody had found her.
The suppression field holding everything together is failing. The clock is running. And the only way to stop what is coming requires Adaline to give up the thing she can least afford to lose.
She already knows her answer. She decided before anyone told her the full price.
Letters to a Dark Prince
Thrown into Isteros Academy—a world of old money, blood money, and cruel social games—she's an outsider by birth and an afterthought by design. Her sister Solyn is the school's untouchable queen and Mara is her favorite target.
Everyone expects Atreus to treat his fiancée’s scholarship sister like everyone else does—as if she doesn’t matter.
Instead, his dorm room sits directly across from hers, close enough that she can see his light go out at night. Some nights, he climbs the old maintenance trellis just to check on her. He teaches her chess. He shows up exactly when something's gone wrong—and never once asks to be thanked for it.
"Don't fall in love with one piece," he warns her, over a board neither of them treats like a game anymore. "It punishes the person who only sees half of it."
Mara doesn't understand why the boy who's supposed to make her life harder keeps quietly making it easier—not until she realizes the anonymous stranger she's been writing to every week already has a name.
His.
He doesn't know he's writing to her, either.
By the time they find out, it's too late to stop what's already happening. Far too dangerous for anyone to find out.
In an empty studio, in the middle of a rainstorm, she asks him: 'Am I the kind of girl who kisses a boy engaged to my sister?'
He doesn't answer.
So she asks: 'What are we?’
He told her not to fall in love with one piece.
She fell anyway.
And he was never far behind.
My Billionaire Husband's Secret
He was the CEO of the Blackwood Group — a man whose wealth and power eclipsed ninety-nine percent of the world.
He was gentle. Romantic. Attentive. I fell for him fast.
But a year into our marriage, I began to notice something — a pattern.
Lucas's sexual appetite was intense — he wanted me almost every night. Yet every single month, he arranged a solo trip to send me away. I told myself it was his way of spoiling me.
Then a message arrived from someone called Sweet An.
Do you really know your husband?
From that day on, my life filled with shadows.
I suspected my husband of having an affair.
When Lucas and I made love, something felt wrong — his body too large, too much, like something I couldn't explain.
I heard sounds during sex — animal sounds, like something feral had crawled into bed with us.
My best friend Mia said: "There are men sick enough to let dogs fuck their wives."
The family doctor, Daisy, told me: "You could never stay by Lucas's side forever. Your background doesn't make you worthy of being his wife. Do you understand?"
I went looking for whoever had been tearing my marriage apart. I fought to win my husband back.
But the deeper I searched, the larger the secret grew — something far darker hiding beneath this supposed betrayal.
Does Lucas truly love me?
And why, out of everyone in the world, did he choose to marry me?
Tango 2 the Alpha's Heart
My gaze snapped to his. He was smiling, causing my heart to skip a painful beat. Before I could respond, the music began, and my body instinctively reacted to the sweet melody.
I found myself molded to Lex's will, my feet irresistibly following the dance steps.
The crowd gasped as Lex pulled me into a more intimate position, his hands roaming over my body in a seductive manner.
The experience was both terrifying and magical, allowing me to feel every longing emotion through the dance.
I soon found myself lost in his arms.
When the music finally stopped, my arms were wrapped around his neck, his hands resting on my back, our noses almost touching. He gazed deeply into my eyes.
The ballroom fell silent.
Was he about to kiss me?

Lilly had given up hope of finding a mate, having a family, and leading a normal life.
But things are about to drastically change for her...
Secrets, lies, betrayal... and a baby on the way.
What if Lilly wasn't wolf-less? What if it was all a lie?
What if she had a living family? Would she stay and bond with them or make a run for freedom?

Love's Deadly Equation
I was sent to her.
To watch her. To protect her. And, when the order comes… to kill her.
My name is Keegan Caffery. I’m the Carter Mafia’s best hitman. I don’t miss. I don’t fail.
At least, I didn’t use to.
I don’t know what it is about her that got to me first—her mouth, her mind, or the way she looks at me like I’m not what she should fear.
I’ve had a gun to her head since I walked into her life.
She knows it.
And she still doesn’t run.
She just watches me back like she’s studying a problem she refuses to call impossible.
She’s the one variable I can’t control.
And God help me… I don’t want to.
I have an order. I have loyalty. I have a trigger.
But every time I imagine it—
I can’t stand it.
Her or me. That’s the math.
It’s a deadly equation I don’t want to solve.
⬥ Maisie ⬥
I’m not ordinary. I stopped pretending long ago.
My name is Maisie Seo. IQ 145. Clinical genius.
Which sounds impressive until you realize what it actually means: I don’t fit anywhere people expect me to.
I see patterns everywhere. Outcomes before they happen. People like equations I’ve already solved.
It gets lonely in a world you’ve already figured out.
So I dull myself down. Smoke the edges off. Pretend, badly, to be the kind of normal that lets people stay.
Then he walked in.
I knew what he was immediately. Dangerous. Intentional. Wrong in all the right ways.
I should be afraid of him.
I keep waiting for that to kick in.
Instead, I’m fascinated.
Because for the first time in my life… I’ve found something I can’t solve.
He is my deadly equation.
