A night security job at a museum seems like the easiest money Jorden Leon has ever made. But on his very first shift, he discovers that the museum's relics are anything but ordinary. Driven by instinct, he restores a shattered Eight-Armed Asura bronze statue. As the final crack disappears, an ancient force surges into him, awakening powers beyond imagination. Unaware that he has just prevented an S-Class catastrophe capable of destroying the city, Jordan steps into a new destiny. Soon, whispers spread through the city of a mysterious guardian who protects the living from dangers buried deep in the past.

Researcher Vera was betrayed by her fiancé Roman and thrown into the Zero Isolation Zone of Jurassic Exile Island, where she became live bait for Draco, a tyrannosaur experimental subject in its rampage phase. At the critical moment, however, Draco halted his jaws because of the special scent emanating from her body. When the high-voltage electric grid attacked, he shielded her with his own body and completed the mating mark—revealing that he was not a pure beast, but a human implanted with tyrannosaur genes. Vera went from utter isolation to fighting alongside Draco, gradually uncovering the conglomerate's conspiracy: Draco was the pure-blood heir of the group's founder, while Roman had tampered with experimental data to seize control. Through constant clashes and growing trust during their escape, Vera became pregnant with a dragon-child and gave birth to an infant named Dax, who possessed a powerful bloodline. Roman pursued them relentlessly. In the final battle in the lower city, he injected himself with the rampaging blood sample, which caused his body to collapse and led to his death. Vera, Draco, and Dax were reunited amid the ruins, and the family of three resolved to face the subsequent manhunt by the financial conglomerate together.
