Synopsis

Half-human girl Sera fails to bond with a nine-tailed fox in the Spirit Beast Corridor and is forced to contract a dismissed shadow serpent, while her half-sister Ophelia becomes the academy’s star with a Blazing Fire Griffin. Struggling at the bottom of the elite academy, Sera is cut off from supplies and bullied, until she discovers her serpent holds the slumbering bloodline of the ancient Abyss Serpent. Disgraced top student Kael lends her a hand. They fall in love while investigating the corrupted beast tide in the North, defying the academy’s ban on cross-species intimacy. Guided secretly by the nine-tailed fox, Sera must evolve her contract, defeat Ophelia and Dorian, and unravel the world crisis caused by the vanished ancient divine beasts.
