by The Sly King Kong
In a brutal kingdom where monsters stalk the wilds and only the strongest survive, twelve-year-old Kael is thrust into the Bastion, a fortress where boys are molded into the kingdom’s elite monster hunters—the Beastguards. Under the watchful eye of the imposing leader Victor and relentless veterans, Kael endures excruciating runs, wall climbs, and the harsh discipline that strips away fear, comfort, and weakness. Amid the pain, he forms a tentative bond with Marcus, a fellow cadet driven by vengeance against goblins, as they begin to navigate the deadly training, the mysterious gods whose favor grants power, and the looming horror of the dungeon that awaits those who falter. Every challenge pushes Kael closer to becoming a weapon—and closer to confronting the monsters that haunt his past. Written with AI.
