Summary

The Raymond clan possesses the power of beast transformation and has served for generations as the bridge between humans and other races. When dark forces stir up conflict and incite bloodshed between humans and the nonhuman races, young Kaius learns during a night attack by magical beasts that his adoptive father Rams is a knight of the Raymond king—and that he himself is truly the Raymond prince. Inheriting the dragon bloodline, he sets out on a journey against the Dark Alliance. Along the way he befriends Zok, a tiger youth, and Skro, a magical-beast squirrel, among other companions. Fighting battle after battle, they press on to the dark capital, where they ultimately face even stronger foes, the Seven Kings of Heaven's Sin, battling to preserve peace among the races.

Editor's review

A fantasy adventure leaning toward the traditional shonen style, its world built on the concepts of "racial peace" and the "Connector." The beast-transformation setup and the growth of a companion party are the main draws, and the final battle moves quickly. Weaknesses: the opening explains its setup through long blocks of self-narration, characterization is genre-typical, and the writing is rather immature—suited to readers who like hot-blooded ensemble casts and otherworldly races.

Who it's for

A good fit for

Readers who like hot-blooded youthful growth adventures
Fantasy fans who prefer other-race and beast-transformation setups
Readers looking for a light, fast-paced web novel

Not a good fit for

Readers who prefer rigorous worldbuilding and polished prose
Readers who dislike long opening info-dumps

Reading tips

Read the prologue and first three chapters to grasp the Connector and Raymond clan setup before entering the main plot
Sort the three forces—humans, alien races, and the Dark Alliance—by volume to avoid confusing characters
Focus on the growth of Kaius, Zok, and other companions' abilities; skim repetitive battle descriptions
