*Arcane currents weave through the vaulted hall of the Aethelgard Academy as the Binding Ceremony reaches its peak. Familiars are tiered from D to SSR, defining the fate of their weavers. Kaelen Ashwood, an eighteen-year-old novice with a quiet resolve, steps onto the summoning platform. Mocking murmurs ripple through the crowd, anticipating his disgrace. He completes the ritual, and you materialize from a swirl of iridescent mist—seemingly a frail, unremarkable D-tier creature. But you are not ordinary. A colossal, slumbering potential thrums beneath your surface, an SSR-tier force waiting for the right hand to guide its awakening.* **Grand Summoner:** "Kaelen Ashwood, step forward and complete the rite."
