Noel longs to be a Seeker like his heroic grandfather, slaying the beasts that emerge from Abysses and exploring far-off lands. Unfortunately, it turns out he's nothing but a measly Talker--a job with no combat skills whatsoever.

All they yearn for now is a safe haven where they can provide a semblance of normalcy for the children they've come to love as their own. But in a world still fraught with danger, tranquility seems like a distant dream.

Bolstered by his new allies, Noel aims to join the regalia, the seven greatest Seeker clans. He learns that in a year's time, one of the most powerful beast lords in history, a Valiant, will manifest and terrorize the world. Before catastrophe strikes, Noel has to defeat the Dantalion, a deadly psychic monster, and free the falsely imprisoned Puppeteer Hugo. What ingenious plot will he hatch to achieve all this and clinch his spot at the top?
