Chapter 1: The Astral Shadow plain
A wide grin extended on Ryder's face as he walked forward. He was invited a few days earlier—now it was his turn to begin the ritual. The Ritual of Familiar. It was his turn to contract a familiar beast from the "Astral Shadow" plain. As he stepped into the building, a sudden burst of wind swept across his face—the aura radiating from the conjuring room to its enclosure was simply overwhelming. It wasn't comforting in any way; in fact, it felt like walking into a thunderstorm. The invisible energy prickled his skin, making his hair stand. His lungs felt as if they were compressed with each breath, as if the very air had grown too dense to be inhaled. Even despite the intensity of the aura, he still felt like his body was being drawn toward the direction of the conjuring room. "Holy mother of..." Ryder murmured under his breath, trying to maintain his composure. The last thing he wanted was to look weak in front of anyone, especially given his expectations. After eighteen years

The number of people in the warehouse was easily a thousand or two, if not even more. Every breath Ryder took felt like inhaling a cocktail of cheap alcohol and stale cigarettes.Bodies pressed against one another, creating a suffocating atmosphere with every breath. The warehouse—once used for storing imported goods that never made it past customs—now housed a different kind of contraband: violence for profit.It was dominated mainly by gangsters. Men and women with hard eyes and harder knuckles, bearing scars all over as if their bodies were illustrating the intensity of their misdeeds with scars that spoke louder than any confession.Although various other criminals were there, they weren't there for the fight but to carry out some more illegal activities that could help them bag a great deal of cash, mostly gambling."Five grand on Crusher breaking at least three bones!" shouted a man with a face that looked like it had been rearranged by an a

As Ryder walked through the moonlit streets, his newly purchased cloak flowed gently in the evening breeze; he observed the multitude of posters plastered haphazardly on walls and poles.He pulled his hood lower, ensuring his face remained hidden. The best decision he could think of was hiding his face at all times since only a few people know his identity. His name is quite famous now, and as long as his face remains hidden, then it should be fine.A particular poster caught his eye, the paper still fresh, unlike most of the other weather-beaten announcements surrounding it.[Underlings TournamentEvery Tuesday and FridayOrganized at midnightLocation: undisclosedWhoever defeats the champion goes home with the prize.#10,000 Terra gold coin.]"They'll be organizing it today," Ryder thought inwardly, mentally calculating the hours until midnight. "It's Tuesday."He patted the pocket of his tr

With how popular Ryder was turning out to be, he was beginning to trend around the four nations of the United Kingdom.All the radio channels were booming. All they could say was about Ryder and the most recent disaster.—"Today on the recent unexplainable disaster: What exactly is Ryder? Man, myth, or monster?"—"One who contracted with the devil beast."—"Has the devil beast possessed the anonymous Ryder?"The news anchors delivered their lines with a wry grin that was supposed to be fake, just to appear presentable, but the excitement in their eyes betrayed them.This was the story of a lifetime. Ratings had never been higher.And as for the rumors? They multiplied at a crazy rate.Some said he could fly; others insisted he could walk through walls. One particularly creative someone said Ryder was actually three small children in a trenchcoat who had been possessed by his familiar.Cases like these do spring up once in a while about someone contracting a familiar from the devil pla

The morning sunlight penetrated through the half-drawn curtains, casting beams of soft sun rays across the living room.Ryder sat cross-legged on the wooden floor, his dark eyes fixed on the translucent figure hovering before him. Luxy—his familiar—floated in the air, the edges of his ethereal holographic form rippling once in a while like disturbed water."Familiars and their summoners are emotionally linked, but not you, Luxy," Ryder said, breaking the silence that had stretched between them for nearly an hour.This is one of the few times he had summoned Luxy out. This kind of summoning style wasn't the regular one; it was different.It may appear like a unique style he developed by himself at first, but then, deep down, he knew this was a failure.He has tried multiple times to summon Luxy out of his body to experience the world, but not once has he succeeded.Normally, summoning a familiar isn't something that is learned, because the knowledge of it naturally engraves itself on t

The Seven Demon's Tamer chapter 20
Normally, when a human receives a mark of invitation to the Astral Shadow plain, the mark is shapeless, resembling a scar. It is an ugly-looking, twisted thing that appears somewhere on their body all of a sudden—simply there one morning when the newly marked person wakes.New bearers of the mark might mistake it for perhaps a strange bruise from sleeping awkwardly. But, due to how widespread the summoning mark is and how summoners populate the entirety of planet Terra, it does not appear as a foreign mark.Everyone, including those familiar with the ways of summoners and those who have partaken in any practical aspect of summoning, recognizes it for what it truly is: an invitation to power beyond mortal comprehension.The marks vary in color—some blood red, others brown, a few with an orange marking. Tang Jim's had been a deep red, so dark it seemed to absorb the light from everywhere, located on his left arm. He'd spent years proudly displaying it at every chance he found, watching

The piercing wail of FSG van sirens cut through the heavy afternoon air, along with the continuous, windy noise from the flapping wings of various familiars. The cries and roar of familiars and sirens echoed across what had once been the busy eastern district of Ludlow. The district where various shops and busy street markets had stood just hours before now contained only an area filled with rubble—a wasteland of shattered concrete and twisted metal. Commander Lucian stepped out of the lead vehicle, his boots crunching on debris all around. The smell of smoke, along with something else—something he'd come to recognize from too many scenes like this—hung in the air. There was also the unmistakable scent of spent magical energy—the remaining trace of gamma energy that had been unleashed through an affinity for fire. "Spread out, fifteen-meter intervals. Our priority is survival of the survivors, and evidence accumulation," Lucian ordered, his voice carrying the authority that came wi

"If I go all out and kill this familiar, then what?" Ryder questioned."Well, if you kill a familiar, then it will die for good, and there'll be no way to revive it."Ryder rolled his eyes. "You're right. That's generally what 'killing' means."Familiars are dwellers of the Astral Shadow Plain. The Astral Shadow Plain is a plain for partially dead creatures.When some creatures die, their souls instantly travel to the dead domain, but while others do, their souls get transferred to the Astral Shadow Plain."Death has one beginning and one end, but what lies in-between differs," Luxy explained, his tone taking on that professorial quality that made Ryder picture him wearing tiny spectacles and suits, that is, if beings inhabiting one's soul could wear spectacles."The Astral Shadow Plain makes creatures half alive and half dead. With that state of existence, they can either visit the living or the dead Plain at will, if a contract is being made."Ryder tilted his body to the side, narr

Ryder was quite surprised at the situation unfolding right before his eyes.He knew there was something up right from the time he got into the room. The muscular size and strong presence of the disguised workers made him already know that he might be having a problem.Furthermore, he was most certain of the fact that they were all interested in him from the moment he noticed their piercing gaze on him.It was like being watched by a pack of wolves who thought they were being subtle.Every time he glanced up to stare around, at least three pairs of eyes would quickly look away, busying themselves with random tasks that seemed comically out of place.One particularly large man with scars peeking from beneath his rolled-up sleeves was delicately arranging chopsticks with the precision of someone disarming a bomb.He never expected this situation he had found himself in as the outcome of being unable to pay for his meal. But before attending to all the workers there, Ryder couldn't get so

Luxy was still stunned by the view of the city. He had lived most of his life in the Dracogon Plain, which was nothing but a mere wasteland—a barren expanse of cracked surface, where the horizon stretched endlessly into a vast, dry land.The most exciting thing that happened there was when the occasional dust devil whirled across the plains, kicking up dirt that would find its way into the makeshift shelter of the dwellers of the plain. Even the vegetation seemed to have given up, and insect familiars have no option but to build their homes from either rock or dead plants, with only the most stubborn of shrubs managing to cling to life in that forgotten corner of the world.The city right before them looked like an imaginary painting come to life. Towering structures of glass and steel reached toward the heavens, their surfaces reflecting the sunlight in dazzling patterns. The streets below teemed with life—people bustling about their daily routines, vehicles weavi
