Betrayed and powerless, a beastmaster bonds a dragon-disguised lizard to reclaim his stolen S-rank.
Arthur's S-rank awakening should have secured his place in a hierarchy built on summoned companions, but his childhood sweetheart carves the gift from his chest for the golden-boy Carlos. Dumped in ancient wreckage, the orphan survives by contracting a pitch-black lizard the system wrote off as trash. That 'trash' carries the slumbering bloodline of an SSS-rank dragon of destruction, flipping every assumption about worth and pedigree. Four weeks of silence later, Arthur walks back into the world with a catastrophe on a leash, ready to settle a debt written in stolen heartbeats.
