WORLD ▸ VELORIA ▸ BEAST LORD RISING
Levels, authority tiers, and suppression protocols keep people small. Until a boy and a dying wolf soulbond in defiance of everything the System was built to enforce.
CORE DATA ▸ VELORIA
The strongest chains in Veloria are made of numbers, not steel.
A LitRPG about bonds, growth, and a System that mistakes empathy for weakness.
Veloria is a kingdom where access to power is carefully measured and controlled. Levels, licences, and authority ranks decide who gets to explore the wilds, who gets to eat, and who gets to speak. Adventurers are tools of the ruling class — and anyone who grows too fast is quietly cut down.
Beast Lords are an error the System tried to delete. When Cyle of Alderreach soulbonds with a dying Duskhorn Wolf and her pup, he stumbles onto a growth path that runs on shared emotion and mutual trust instead of raw stats. The System doesn’t have a category for that — which makes him dangerous to everyone who benefits from the current rules.
Every rebellion starts with a choice. For Veloria, it’s a promise made to a dying wolf.
PROTAGONIST ▸ BEAST LORD
Cyle wasn’t meant to be important. Just another boy in a forgotten village with a threadbare System screen. When he chooses mercy over safety and accepts a dying wolf’s bond, he slips outside the numbers the ruling class understands — and becomes the first real threat they’ve faced in generations.
SOULBOND ▸ COMPANION
Riven’s body dies in the first chapter. Her soul doesn’t. Twined with Cyle’s, she becomes the other half of a Beast Lord class that grows through shared experience, shared risks, and small, stubborn joys the System can’t quantify.
Veloria’s System looks generous on the surface. The fine print tells a different story.
CORE MECHANICS
Levels and classes are granted through tightly controlled interfaces: Guild licences, noble sponsorships, and carefully curated dungeon access. Growth without permission is either impossible — or grounds for quiet execution.
Key elements include:
HIDDEN PATH
Beast Lord is an emergent class built around soul resonance instead of raw stats. Growth comes from deepening the bond between lord and companion — shared memories, shared risks, and choices that prioritise the bond over convenience.
Expect mechanics like:
