This is a pet cultivation story with mature themes, think Pokemon for adults, a tough world with bloody battles. --- This is the world of Ensouled, where living creatures strive to cultivate their soul to grow stronger. With abilities adapted to their environment, all kinds of Ensouled roam the continents, reside beneath the seas, and soar across the boundless skies. Humans, though physically weak, can bond with Ensouled and summon them to fight. In return, humans help their summons grow, learn new abilities, and improve their soul rank much faster than in the wild. Zachary Zhang is a low rank summoner and, unluckily, a convicted murderer. His punishment is a cruel game of life and death in a jungle wilderness. He will have to capture new summons, fight off hungry beasts and even more vicious humans, and discover things about himself and the world he never expected. --- Cover art credit goes to https://www.deviantart.com/florentllamas/art/Ruins-549234299
