Honoo no Mirage (Mirage of Blaze) is a complexly-plotted novel which incorporates a large number of elements, including romantic melodrama, historical politics and supernatural fantasy. Japanese history predominates the heavily structured story-line, which mainly involves the continued aggression between power-wielding guardians ('possessors'), and the denizens of a 'feudal underworld'- a group of restless souls belonging to long-dead samurai from the warring states period who are attempting to re-ignite those age-old wars in present-day Japan.... more>>

------------

“I have no talent at all…”

At the age of 12, a young boy named Noru had decided to train himself in the mountains after being rejected by the capital’s official training centers for being “talentless”. He believed that, with enough hard work and effort, he could one day become like the protagonists that populate his childhood stories. Full of determination, he would practice every day with his makeshift wooden sword, endlessly repeating the only sword technique he knew—“Parry”.

The hours turned into days, the days turned into months, and the months turned into years.

Eventually, he had trained this one skill to such an extreme that he could snap a thousand branches with it. However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t get the desired result, he couldn’t learn any new skills required to become a real adventurer. It may be time to let go of his dream. But he couldn’t. Not just yet. Knowing this, he returned to the capital again.

This was a man of endless dedication, a man who used that dedication to become one of the strongest in the world. The only problem is, he didn’t know it yet. <<less

When he woke up, the world has changed.... more>>

Through astral projection of his soul, Wei Feng found himself in a world of beasts.

Everyone here has the ability to tame beasts – that means everyone here is a beastmaster!

But beastmasters have clear strengths and weaknesses. Some people can control wild beasts and stand at the peak of this world, while some can only control cattle, sheep, and livestock, and they are at the bottom of this beast-taming food chain.

To begin a new life in this strange world, Wei Feng summoned a stone man, but he had unexpectedly awakened the ability to extract the core abilities of beasts he encounters.

Moreover, the more the growth of the beasts, the stronger these abilities get.

Ding!

【NOTICE: You have unlocked the [Armored Skin] ability of the beast-guarding [Stone Man]!】

……

Ding!

【NOTICE: You have unlocked the [Strength Enhancement] ability of the Royal Beast [Dragon Ape]!】

……

Ding!

【NOTICE: You have unlocked the [Speed Enhancement] ability of the beast [Blue-scaled Eagle]!】

……

Hence, with all the core abilities that he has extracted from these beasts, Wei Feng has transformed into a living human beast!

Whenever the enemy thinks they have successfully defeated all of Wei Feng’s beasts, the corner of Wei Feng’s mouth would raise, revealing an innocent smile, “No, no, no! The battle has just begun – I am the biggest boss here!” <<less

After becoming a system operator, strange things started happening.

“I think we have seen each other somewhere? right?”
“Can I speak to you casually? It’s awkward to use honorifics on someone I see often.”
The S-Rank civil servant hunter whose hobby was to catch and stalk illegal hunters was talking to her.

“Tell me the reason why you guys are listed as S-Rank on the National Awakening Checklist.”
That damned sibling was actually really strong.

“Haneul-ah. Quit being the system operator and leave with me.”
"What? Why would I?"
“Because you are one of those people who will destroy the world.”
Her older brother, who had been missing for 10 years, suddenly appears and shouts nonsense. <<less
