They call him the Scavenger. They call his beast trash. They're about to learn that hunger is the sharpest weapon of all.

Imagine a world where your worth is measured solely by the monster at your side, and you have nothing. No money, no lineage, no safety net -- just a broken weapon and a desperate need to survive. This isn't a story about a chosen hero gleaming in sunlight; it's about the guy digging in the dirt while the heroes drink champagne. It is a visceral dive into the ozone and rot of the Undercroft, a place where magic costs calories, armor is cobbled together from scrap, and the fire in your gut is the only thing keeping the darkness at bay.

Ronan Cross is eighteen credits away from ruin. As a scholarship student at the prestigious Aethelgard Institute of Beast-Arts, he is a stain on the white marble of the elite. Drowning in debt and marked for expulsion, his future is a one-way trip to a labor colony unless he can pass a brutal Field Exam designed to weed out the weak. But Ronan has no beast, no mana, and no chance.

Until he finds something dying in a dumpster behind the dorms.

It's a goblin runt -- starved, broken, and discarded like garbage. Logic dictates he should walk away. Mercy suggests he should end its misery. But Ronan looks at the shivering creature and sees a reflection of himself. In a moment of reckless desperation, he forges a forbidden pact, unlocking a unique, volatile bond that defies the laws of the Academy. Now, tethered to a monster everyone underestimates, Ronan must turn trash into treasure. Facing down arrogant aristocrats, rigged tournaments, and apex predators that eat nightmares for breakfast, he has to prove that the strongest bonds aren't bought with gold -- they're forged in blood.

One boy. One goblin. A debt that must be paid in violence. Do you have what it takes to join the Pact?
