Eclipse: Bond of Beasts

In a world divided into dangerous regions where monsters rule the wilds, humans survive by forming contracts with powerful beast cores. Every monster possesses a Core — the essence of its power. Those who obtain one gain abilities beyond human limits. Most can wield only a single core. A rare few can bear more. And somewhere in the depths of the world… exist beings whose cores are unlike any other. Kai, a quiet boy from the mountain village of Ipros, never sought greatness. But when fate forces him to awaken a power tied to a forbidden core, his ordinary life fractures. In a land of tournaments, hunters, hidden secrets, and ancient forces watching from the shadows, strength is not a gift. It is a price. And some awakenings were never meant to happen.
