Dawn’s rise begins with a genetic transformation that makes him a Beast Tamer. Hungry for a spirit beast, he searches the black market and enters the punishing Grand Exam. But when a beast plague sweeps through Riverport, the competition is overshadowed by a far deadlier reality. Forced to fight alongside Sunny and his team, Dawn is pulled into clashes on campus, rival pressure, and potion schemes. To save Riverport, they have only one path: defeat the Dryad. Victorious and honored by the city, Dawn then looks ahead to the elite Dragonfire Taskforce.
