Is It Wrong to Try to Tame Monsters in a Dungeon? (Written seriously)

Draconic_Terror
Important Notice: This is a more seriously written version of my other story of the same title. It is written in an attempt to realize the potential I was wasting in the idea of a tamer. It was only possible because RikuKage helped me with suggestions for the foundation of the plot and the balancing of the skills. Go check out his works, might see something you want to read there. Important Notice 2: The style might change as this is the first story I tried to find a specific style with. I had ruined it by using a bot to assist me on the first 6 or so chapters. The style change might be somewhat drastic because of that. Once I found a style to settle with, I will rewrite the early chapters in said style. -------------- Finding himself in a world he knows little about, a young adult tries to find his bearings. He ventures the wilds in the company of unlikely people and heads to the place where all gather, where many trials await him. -------------- What you will read below is included in the auxiliary disclaimer chapter that will include other things. Though not necessary, I recommend reading the disclaimer chapter. Currently, the update schedule is going to be in batches, where I upload a chapter per day (8PM GMT+3) starting from Saturdays, until the chapters of that batch run out. Another very important thing is that the story starts with a lot of build-up. Be aware that the first 17 chapters will be before he reaches Orario. Disclaimer: Any reference I make in this fanfiction does not belong to me. It belongs to its respective owner.

The Mirrorbound

In a world where reality blurs between magic and modernity, one broken mirror awakens a forgotten destiny. Liam Gray is just an ordinary young man — lonely, directionless, stuck in a mundane life where success feels like a distant dream. But everything changes when a mysterious mirror in his room cracks open… not to shatter, but to reveal another world. From that mirror steps Aeris Virelle, a fierce and secretive warrior from a magical realm on the brink of collapse. She seeks the fragments of an ancient spellbook — the Liminal Codex — a key that can restore balance… or destroy everything. As Liam is unwillingly dragged into her quest, he learns that he isn’t just a bystander. He is bound by blood, power, and fate to the shattered past of both worlds. Haunted by visions and hunted by corrupted forces, Liam joins a band of unlikely allies: Kael, a blunt but noble wind-based warrior with a soft spot for dumb jokes, Nyra, a spirited summoner whose tiny summons love stealing food and causing chaos — but whose powers are growing every day. Together, they must traverse deadly landscapes, fight cursed guardians, uncover ancient truths, and learn to trust one another. But Aeris is hiding a truth of her own — reporting to a heroine who may not be what she seems. And lurking behind every turn is a dark force, manipulating hearts and histories alike: the shadowy being that destroyed Elira’s people and tore open the world long ago. As realms collide and fragments fall into place, Liam must decide: is he a hero destined to save both worlds… or a sacrifice meant to seal them?
