My peculiar companions are not demons.

"Don't!" A painful low growl startled a bird on a cherry blossom tree, ready to make a close encounter, and it flew away grumbling. Jack, wearing sunglasses and leaning against the tree for a nap, abruptly woke up, as if emerging from a drowning state, gasping for air to ease the suffocating palpitations. Looking around, tall cherry blossom trees stood with branches extending, and the blossoms bloomed like crimson clouds, creating a picturesque scene of spring. Luckily, Jack was still at the Aurorapolis City Beast Companion Breeding Center! Regaining composure, he noticed a white-skirted girl standing before him, holding an envelope with a heart-shaped pattern. She appeared innocent and charming, her eyes timid like a startled rabbit. Jack, realizing he had frightened her, quickly adjusted his mood and forced a smile, asking, "Classmate, is there something you want from me?" The startled girl stuttered, "Um... I wanted to give you... a letter..." Torn between emotions, unsure whether to hand over the confession letter, she inadvertently glanced at Jack's eyes, bloodshot beneath the sunglasses – like a wounded beast. Feeling a surge of fear from the rumors, she hesitated, took a few steps back, and eventually, feeling defeated, chose to leave. She went to a large rock in the distance, where another round-faced girl in sportswear awaited on a white wolf. Pulling the white-skirted girl up, she scolded, "I told you not to get close to that weirdo. He shouted during the beast awakening ceremony, claiming ten suns were distorting in the sky, acting like a lunatic. Later, he volunteered to raise pigs, wasting a promising future..." "But that's a Silver Spirit extraordinary creature, the Sakura Pig..." the white-skirted girl weakly defended. "Look, you're still speaking up for him. Regardless of the creature, raising pigs is raising pigs. My dad said, only cultivating beast companions is the right path. Don't get too close to someone who willingly falls into decadence. Handsome as he may be, looks won't put food on the table. You're so cute; you'll have plenty of suitors. If not, I'll be with you!" Having said enough, the white-skirted girl didn't know what to respond, blushing and lowering her head. "Snow Wolf, let's go!" The round-faced girl shot a glance at Jack, a complex emotion flashing on her face – a mix of disdain and a sense of pleasure, as the once unattainable person fell into earthly impurity. However, Jack was just a roadside weed, different from birds and fish. The two rode the snow wolf, leaving the cherry blossom forest. Jack paid no attention to their conversation, tilting his head back against the tree trunk. He gazed at the aesthetically blooming cherry blossoms resembling clouds and mist, pinched his brow to alleviate the throbbing in his eyes, and murmured, "Only three months in this world, and I've already lost count of how many nightmares..." The oldest and most intense human emotion is fear, and the oldest and most intense fear is the unknown. The deep sea... slowly sinking into the silent depths of the deep sea! No strength... The only thing to do is to experience the almost suffocating pain, gazing up at the shimmering surface of the water. The nine suns, distorted and split due to light refraction, stacked upon each other. Pale radiance spilled, revealing the undulating shadows in the abyss of the deep sea, as if the dark goddess had opened her arms. Jack is a transmigrator, born in an orphanage in his previous life. Through his efforts and the thick-skinned tactics honed in society, he successfully earned a considerable fortune before turning thirty. However, due to excessive fatigue, he blinked and found himself traversing into another world, occupying the identical body and name of his counterpart, along with a fusion of their memories. Despite the hasty nature of his transmigration, Jack remained remarkably calm. He approached life with the attitude of coming and going like the wind and dust. This new world, he learned from memories, is a vast Beast Taming world that dwarfs Earth in comparison. In this realm, everything possesses spirituality! Whether it's beasts, birds, lakes, storms, lightning, or even the radiance of the sun and moon, machinery can give birth to spirituality, evolving into extraordinary life forms. Life imbued with spiritual power can continually evolve into the extraordinary, gaining abilities such as flames, thunder, light, darkness, and transitioning through levels of existence. Some even manifest powers akin to gods, capable of reshaping landscapes and commanding the elements. As for humans, legends say that in ancient times, they could freely manipulate spirituality. However, history has become too ancient, with only fragmentary archaeological records as evidence, often dismissed as the imagination of ancient people. This notion arose due to the dire consequences of humans devouring excessive spiritual power, transforming into monstrous entities neither human nor ghost. In ancient times, weaker yet spiritually rich humans became favored prey for many creatures, leading to frequent attacks on tribes and leaving behind a landscape littered with bones. For a long period, humans could only exchange protection by sacrificing powerful entities until a sage discovered their unique talent. Humans could form contracts with extraordinary beings, establishing Beast Taming spaces to accelerate their growth. Through these spaces and the bond with their pets as filters, humans achieved perfect absorption of spiritual power. From then on, the balance between offense and defense transformed! Countless human prodigies rose to power, driving away monsters, establishing human cities, and giving birth to a brilliant civilization. The Beast Tamer profession, a key factor in humanity's rise, evolved over the long ages, diversifying into combat, nurturing, healing, potion crafting, divination, and more. By subdividing the power of pets, it became an integral part of human civilization. Mighty Beast Tamers safeguard cities, shielding ordinary people from the intrusion of extraordinary beings. They even venture into the wilderness, gaining abundant resources and wealth. All things are beneath the tamer, and only they stand high! The first step for a Beast Tamer is awakening spirituality. Though just a starting point, it already surpasses most ordinary individuals! Awakening is divided into nine tiers: The first three tiers are Bronze Spirituality, corresponding to servant-tier pets. The next three tiers are Silver Spirituality, corresponding to elite-tier pets. The high three tiers are Gold Spirituality, corresponding to commanding-tier pets. Afterward comes the Star tier, corresponding to dominator-tier pets. As for higher tiers, they are beyond Jack's reach. Gold Spirituality represents the backbone of talent, receiving numerous preferential policies and benefits in any city. Unexpectedly, in this life, Jack is not an orphan. He has parents, with a Gold-tier spiritual father and a peak Silver-tier spiritual mother, both executing alliance missions. A definite second-generation starting point! The day he transmigrated, he happened to turn eighteen, standing in line to awaken his Beast Tamer talent. Beast Tamers awaken their unique talents to shape their future paths. For Jack, whether it's elemental enhancement, possession, secondary talents like potion crafting, material gathering, or even the ability to listen to history, he doesn't need to worry. His parents will find suitable excellent pet cubs for him. However, just as it was his turn, tragic news arrived—his parents were attacked by the Cult of the Dark God during a mission and both perished. Jack, who had just awakened his talent, became the "madman" mentioned by the girl earlier, proclaiming the existence of ten suns. Later, he voluntarily applied for the school's Cherry Blossom Pig breeding project, seen by others as a textbook example of someone crumbling after a setback. Yet only Jack knew he wasn't crazy! His awakened talent, called the "Insightful Eye," allowed him to consume his own spiritual power to see the talents and information of pets. At the moment of awakening, he couldn't control the "Insightful Eye" perfectly, leading to a flood of information that caused excruciating headaches. Subconsciously, he raised his head to avoid the crowd and witnessed an unforgettable scene. The eternal sun transformed from one to ten, their shadows constantly shattering and stacking, resembling bloated meatballs growing deformed, occupying the sky. Words couldn't describe their essence; any language failed to capture their mysterious and bizarre form, as if they were products that defied all rules and order, both grand and chaotic. In that magnificent radiance, numerous figures seemed to wriggle within. Each one was immense, with strange and chaotic shadows spreading and diffusing like the roots of trees, their vast breath capable of shattering stars. They formed a circle, entwined with countless deep red chains, seemingly gnawing on something, emitting eerie sounds that turned the entire sky into a bloody hue. Then... Jack thought it was a world anomaly, shouted to warn everyone, but after taking a few steps, he fell unconscious due to the depletion of spiritual power, urgently taken to the hospital. The final diagnosis was slight corneal damage and macular burns caused by staring at the sun. Although such injuries could be mostly healed by a healing light from a medical pet in this world of Beast Tamers, he still had to wear sunglasses for some time afterward to prevent exposure to strong light. Upon waking up, regardless of what Jack said, no one believed him and dismissed it as hallucinations caused by psychological trauma. Even Jack begins to doubt himself. When he ventures to sneak a glance with the corner of his eye, the sky is radiant, the sun emitting a dazzling brilliance, sacred and shining. It pierces Jack's eyes, forcing him to squint and shedding tears, as if everything was just his own illusion. However, the subsequent Insightful Eye could only check pet information. Even if he hid in the ward imitating animals, it wouldn't work. Instead, being seen by a nurse further confirmed his mental instability. Jack wanted to forget it all, but the nightmares about the bizarre sun kept haunting him, eroding his sanity more frequently as time passed. "It's not me who's sick, it's this world!" Jack murmurs softly, his gaze determined. After witnessing the terror concealed in the world, even the spring sky and summer flowers became poison in his eyes. Driven by this intense sense of insecurity, Jack yearns for power even more. The quickest way is to become a true Beast Tamer! The moment this thought crosses his mind, he suddenly hears a cryptic murmur in his ears, overlapping like an ancient and mysterious melody. Although he has never heard this language, Jack understands its meaning: "The Gate of Insight, binding successful..." As the words fall, the world before him is suddenly engulfed by endless chaotic currents, and in the blink of an eye, he enters a dark void. In the chaos, Jack seems to transform into an indescribable great entity, residing atop the boundless sludge of chaos, formless darkness enveloping him. Countless arms gently sway, resonating through the chaotic world. Chaos shatters, evolving into endless elements of earth, fire, wind, and water, giving birth to worlds and life. But in the blink of an eye, it is engulfed again by chaotic sludge, returning to nothingness. "Not the Beast Tamer Space, this is..." Jack's mind is shocked, and he instinctively wants to see his current appearance, but an inexplicable sense of crisis hinders him. Seeing it might attract unknown terror. Thinking this, Jack instinctively lowers his head, and on one of his arms, countless bubbles entwine, gathering myriad radiance. Each one emits a rainbow halo, accompanied by mysterious whispers, as if expounding the highest truth. They converge to form the appearance of a broken portal, seemingly gathering all the truths of the world, past, present, and future, throughout eternity. As Jack's gaze falls, numerous bubbles begin to disperse, revealing something that makes Jack's pupils contract, saying in astonishment: "This is..."
