“I’m not a friend anymore, but a stranger— her beast.”
—
A failed beast taming had Jacob killed by his best friend Rheya’s wolf, and sent into the Castle of Rebirth. Throwing aside the chances to be reborn in other worlds to start over, he chose to return to Rheya and help her the same way she’d helped him— but not as a human.
Jacob became her beast, a panther cub, unlocking two overpowered skills to delete and restore the skills of anyone he chooses. As he gathered followers to become a constellation, Jacob also fights to stop Rheya, full of guilt, from reanimating his long dead body.
Facing a demonic cult using your friend to summon a dead god? Kill that god. Facing a constellation who created a world apocalypse to kill you? Use your delete and restore skill. To defend Rheya, Jacob fought outer gods and ascending constellations.
After all, this was the life he’d chosen.
