Monsters thrive in the darkness, but what if something even deadlier hunted them?
Velik has always been an outcast. A childhood incident left him with a rare racial subtype that flourishes at night and a unique class—[The Black Fang], a specialization with a singular purpose: slaying monsters. For the past decade, he has dedicated himself to this purpose, honing his skills and leveling up by cutting down the countless beasts that plague the frontier. Alone, he has safeguarded remote settlements, becoming their unseen guardian in the night.
But this year is different. The monster population has surged beyond anything he’s ever encountered, stretching him to his limits. No longer able to protect everyone alone, his actions attract the attention of an officially licensed monster hunter—one who seems more interested in studying Velik than assisting him.
With his unwanted guest keeping the towns safe, Velik finally has the chance to venture deep into the untamed wilderness. There, hidden in the heart of the dark woods, lies the answer to the question that has haunted him for years: Where do the monsters come from?
