Dragon Riders

In the dystopian country of Ashford, Chance struggles to survive as a trashpicker. His father sold him into factory slavery after his mother died, and he escaped by fleeing to the contaminated wastelands where the factory sentinels won't follow.

When Aetherium (the sky nation above Ashford built above the polluted ground for the wealthy) puts out a reward on Ashford men, the sentinels hunt him down in the wastelands. He wakes up in an Aetherium hospital. They want to see if he's one of the few people able to bond with a dragon so he can join the military as a dragon rider.

Chance bonds with a sentient dragon named Nightscale. Nightscale has no memories. He was told the same virus that destroyed his far-sightedness caused him amnesia. By bonding with Chance Nightscale now has a psychic bond where he can look through Chance's eyes and be effective in battle once more.

Little by little Chance learns that Aetherium wiped Nightscale's memories because he's a valuable dragon they stole. All their dragons are stolen since the native dragon went extinct from the pollution. Aetherium is a powerful nation that bullies and steals from the countries around them while also repressing their own people and limiting all information.

Chance is grateful to escape the wastelands, but is desperate for Nightscale to regain his memories. While navigating this, Chance meets the other four dragon riders of his team. Each rider would like to date Chance so that their dragons can become mates. This is something they all want to keep their dragons happy.

The story diverges into four separate routes depending on which love interest is unlocked in the gacha.
