The Most Notorious "Talker" Runs the World's Greatest Clan

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.

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?

Noel and his clan, Wild Tempest, are well on their way to the top. As they strike down one powerful beast after another, they have to contend with Lorelei—a clan spinning a top-secret plan in the shadows. While the clans battle for supremacy, the emergence of one of the Ten Dark Lords looms on the horizon...

After trouncing Johann and his clan, Wild Tempest finally earns a spot among the illustrious regalia. Noel is so close to Seeker stardom, he can almost taste it--but top clan Supreme Dragon threatens to take him down at any time! Then Noel sees an opportunity: a gladiatorial tournament to determine who will command the battle against the Valiant. Ever the tactician, he strikes a deal with the underworld to claim his rightful place... So, will Noel soar to new heights, or does his winning streak end here?
