Elion Hayes never planned on being hunted.
He was just a university student scraping by, no real direction, no grand purpose—until a night out turned into a waking nightmare. Because apparently, were-beasts or beast-men are real, they’re everywhere, and they don’t appreciate humans getting in their way.
Now, Elion is on the run with a 'cowboy' from another world (yes, really), a best friend who’s way too excited about all of this, and a growing list of reasons to regret every life choice that led him here.
At the center of it all? The Beast Rings—ancient artifacts infused with the power of monsters. Some grant strength beyond human limits. Others corrupt, turning their wielders into nightmares. And the Lord, the shadowy figure pulling the strings, plans to unleash thousands of them across the world.
Elion isn’t a warrior. He doesn’t have some legendary bloodline or divine blessing. He’s just learned about Mana Gates and barely unlocked the first three of the 118 Mana Gates that allow someone to tap into their true power and to control the Beast Rings.
Before he could gain any real progress, the Lord’s most elite enforcers—the Zodiacs—and all kinds of beast-men are already closing in.
The mission? Retrieve the corrupted Beast Rings before they fall into the wrong hands. Defy the Lord’s plan before the world is overrun. Survive long enough to figure out why, out of everyone, he’s been thrown into the middle of this.
He and Jordan may not have been prepared for any of this, but their new ally, Ronan, isn’t giving them a choice. If they don’t fight back? The world as they know it is done.
What to Expect:
[+] Weak-to-Strong Protagonist – Elion starts at zero, but survival means learning fast.
[+] Shapeshifters & Monster Battles – Think were-beasts, but worse.
[+] Clear Progression – Unlockable powers, evolving abilities, and high stakes.
[+] A Race Against Time – The Beast Rings are spreading, and humanity is not ready.
[+] Ancient Powers & Forbidden Arts – 118 Mana Gates to unlock, each one unlocking something deeper.
[+] Humor Meets High-Octane Action – Snark, survival, and a world that doesn’t play fair.
[+] Massive World-Building & Hidden Secrets – The Beast Rings didn’t start in this world… and neither did the war.
The first mistake? Getting involved.
The second? Thinking he has a choice.
This book?? Felt like watching a blockbuster action movie in my head. Seriously. The fights, the pacing, the dialogue—everything felt like it belonged on the big screen.
Elion and Jordan are such a great duo, with their constant banter making even the craziest situations feel fun. And then there’s Ronan—this cowboy-drifter who clearly has way too much history and not enough patience for these two. Their interactions? Hilarious.
But what really hooked me was the Beast Rings. These aren’t just some generic “magic item” trope. No. They have history, consequences, and actual depth. The flashbacks to the past, the betrayals, the wars—all of it adds this weight to the present-day fights, making every moment feel like it matters.
If you love anime-style fights, cinematic storytelling, and sarcastic yet lovable characters, this book is for you.

Elion Hayes: The Beast Rings is absolutely wild—in the best way possible. It grabs you right from the start and never lets go. One minute, Elion and his buddy Jordan are just hanging out, and the next, they’re on the run from beast-men, caught up in some crazy multi-world conspiracy.
The humor? Perfectly timed. The action? Total adrenaline rush. The world-building is so deep that it actually makes you question what’s real.
I really love Ronan other than the MC. This cowboy from another dimension might be one of the coolest characters I've ever come across. He’s got that worn-out yet powerful vibe, like he’s seen a lot but still knows how to get things done.
And the way the Beast Rings work? Brilliant. It’s not just “put on the ring, get superpowers”—there’s a whole backstory, risks involved, and a bunch of rules that make it way more interesting.
If you’re into fast-paced action, supernatural fights, and some solid sarcasm, you’re gonna love this book. Definitely worth checking out!
