Others Summon Dragons, I Summon Legendary Knights

by DD_TheDreamer

In a world shattered by rifts and overrun by monsters, humanity's only hope lies in the summoners – elite warriors who command mythical beasts. They are legends. They are celebrities. They are the strong. On the day of the Talent Awakening Ceremony, sixteen-year-old Godfrey watches in awe as his peers call forth packs of direwolves, mighty hydras, and even legendary dragons. When his own turn comes, he hopes for anything that will lift him from the bottom of society. What awakens is not a beast, but a legacy. Rejected and mocked for manifesting a single, armored knight from a forgotten age, Godfrey is dismissed as a failure. But they are all wrong. He has not summoned a mere soldier, he has awakened the Bloodline of the Ancient Golden Order. While others rely on feral packs and roaring dragons, Godfrey commands the disciplined, peerless might of the Golden Knight-Captains. One knight’s sword moves faster than a dragon’s breath. One archer’s arrow can pierce a hydra’s heart from a thousand paces away. They call his power weak. Soon, they will call it legendary.
