Reincarnated as the Monster Link King

He died saving a rat. Alone. Forgotten. Dying in an alley that no one even looked at. But something remembered him. Born new in a world of monsters and magic, Kaelis wakes up with cursed eyes and a name that sounds like a slur. Hated. Feared. Abandoned. Then came the monsters. He should have fled. But he saved one—and his life changed forever. Bought at a terrible price, it was. Bound to a forbidden energy lost to legend, Kaelis activates the Monster Link System—an ability that connects him to monsters on an emotional level, not one of command. He listens to them. Understands their pain. Battles with them, not over them. Every bond costs something, however. As Kaelis becomes more powerful, his body changes. His mind shatters. He's becoming something else. And at Arcanis Beast Academy, where nobles enslave monsters as a sport, Kaelis is danger no one yet comprehends— Some monsters select him. And that makes him dangerous. Because Kaelis may be the very last person to ever unlock this power. The last Monster King. The one who will shatter the chains. or shatter the world.
