Moga Chief's Second Son
A vast planet that would dwarf Blue Star, was spinning slowly in the void....from space, one could see that the visible land masses above sea water were huge pieces of inhabitable space but despite their size, they resembled archipelagos...each cohort of "islands" representing the land mass of your typical continent.
Each group of land masses had distinct climates....one had billowing tundras with vicious weather, one had scorching deserts surrounding cracked mountains, and one had volcanos galore riddled with lava rivers....they each had their charm and dangers.
The main danger, for each climate, were the 'monsters'....powerful creatures that ruled the majority of the land and sea.
However.....if one was to zoom in closely, they would notice tiny settlements...grains of sand when compared to the surrounding territory but, visible nonetheless...
On the edge of the most prosperous archipelago, housing lush forests, towering mountains, waterfalls, and rivers....sat a small, rural village. This was a fishing village that provided food to many nearby settlements as well as other continent's people, it was bustling with trade and creatures of all kinds.
The most distinct inhabitants were the humans and the Felyne. These two species worked in harmony to create a safe and prosperous environment in this dangerous world.....this haven was the Moga Village.
......
The Moga Village was active as usual, fishermen going out to perform their daily fishing, farmers tending to their crops, crafters working on their work, and the armor and weapon smiths turning precious materials into priceless equipment.....their raw materials mostly provided by the Hunters.
Being a hunter was the most dangerous yet lucrative job providing status to yourself, your family, and your village. They were the top of the food chain warriors who braved the wild in order to confront the monsters outside.
The number of monster hunters in Moga Village is few, relatively speaking, but they are cherished.....as one would expect, the Moga Chief was once a hunter but has since retired, leaving his mantle to his two sons, who are both set on the hunter profession.
The eldest son ('Junior') started his career years ago with many successes, although very few notable hunts. His recent hunt resulted in him currently standing in the village square smiling broadly while showing off his trophy, a large Epioth.
A relatively docile and neutral monster that would ignore most humans.....unless provoked. While standing on the platform, admiring the loving gazes of the villagers who will eventually be his responsibility once he is made chief, the eldest son notices that coming out of the house parallel to the chief's hut, was his younger brother Tracha.
He was holding his head, showcasing that he was experiencing a massive headache, so the eldest didn't go over to bother his brother and simply continued to explain how he bravely slew the 'aggressive' and 'dangerous' beast that endangered the village...
......
Nearby the square, Tracha just sat down at the table of the most talented Felyne chef currently living in the village and absentmindedly ordered the cook's choice....his mind was elsewhere.
"Well, if this is what all of my Dear Travelers fill when they transmigrate and inherit memories, then I should defiantly make adjustments.....I'm too old for this sh[t..." thought Raven who was now the second son of the Moga Chief who has recently finished his basic training and will be taking his first mission as a bonified hunter today...
'The elder dragons placed me in the perfect spot....gotta remember to give them a raise...' after sorting out all of his memories and realizing that his current position was just like when the game started in Monster Hunter Tri in his previous life, he was excited...
"Yes, yes, yes.....this was a great idea. This excitment simply cannot be matched..." whispered Tracha to himself as a plate was dropped in front of him...
"Pardon ME-oW?...." said the chef as he barely heard the whisper.
"Nothing, thank you for the food friend...what's the stat bonus?..." asked Tracha reflexively as bonuses in MH were everything when it came to pre-mission meals...
The Felyne didn't understand what 'Stat' was but he could gather from the context that the Chief's son wanted to know the benefits of eating his dish...
"It is ME-owADE with ingredients from the trade-ship from abroad...the meat is Jaggia which will give you a ME-owderetly small strength boost..."
Tracha just nodded and after finishing his food, he made his way up to the smith's shop.....the weapon he ordered was supposed to be done today and it was exactly what he needed.
......
Tracha entered the old blacksmith's shop and immediately noticed the grumpy old man behind the counter....he is a Wyverian Artisan and wields a blacksmith's hammer as big as he is. Seeing the chief's son walk through the door, the man *harumphed* before pulling a wrapped weapon from underneath the counter and a small package. He threw the items a shooed Tracha out.....he seemed much too busy to deal with this today...
When Tracha entered his little home, which is a single room with nothing but a bed and a chest as items....he sat down on the bed and gently unwrapped the commissioned weapon.
It was a Light Bowgun created from nothing but wood and metal. It was an odd item since most Hunter weapons are made from Monster material (for good reason) but as starter weapons go, it was on the better side.
It was good quality and was set up to house normal, piercing, and pellet rounds in addition to the round Tracha were most excited about....the poison rounds.
He knew that this was not a game anymore, but real life.....monsters don't have attack patterns or many other game-like aspects. They were real, breathing creatures.....and thus, poison will be extremely effective until the more powerful guys come into play but that's for a later time and a future Tracha to understand.
This is not to say that no game knowledge is useful because Tacha knew, that with his knowledge, etching his name in the anals of history and spreading his name far and wide is a simple task if everything goes to plan...
'But first, let's take a simple gathering mission from the request board...I need to see what The Deserted Islands are like from this point of view....hehe.'
