Dawn of The New World
In the distant future, our world lay broken. First came the blight, a mysterious virus outbreak that decimated nearly half of humanity. Then, a cataclysmic blast, transforming living beings into monsters—the event later named the monster-transfigurations. Only those vaccinated survived, and along with the monsters, they gained a newfound power: the ability to transcend limits through a stats system.
Monsters roamed freely, forcing the military to defend humanity's remnants. Chaos reigned, and the land was divided into fallen territories and human settlements. The government shattered, martial law declared, and a new currency emerged: paper money infused with the essence of monsters’ heart, a newfound energy source. Life persisted within settlements, but it was far from easy.
Survivors adapted. Food sources dwindled, especially as fallen lands made it difficult to gather supplies. However, hope emerged in the form of beasts—animal-based monsters providing a new source of sustenance. The demand for supplies, whether food from monsters or remnants in fallen lands, and energy from monster hearts, skyrocketed. Living costs soared, and with meager civil job salaries, poverty became widespread. The military-government, desperate for supplies, offered high rewards to those who ventured into the fallen lands.
Thus, came the hunters—civilians turned monster slayers. Focusing primarily on hearts and meat at first, they discovered that monsters held more than mere sustenance. Their materials unlocked potential for various purposes, from medications and chemical reagents to formidable weapons. Promised fortunes lured many, and so many hunters emerged. However, for every soul venturing out, there were more that never returned.
Fearing for humanity's survival, the hunters and the military-government formed a pact, and the hunters’ association was born. Providing supplies, taking requests, and training future hunters, the hunters’ association sole purpose is to assist the military-government in ensuring humanity’s survival and rebuilding the civilizations.
