Darkness brings predators, but Velik brings death. A childhood trauma left Velik cursed with a nocturnal racial subtype and the exclusive [The Black Fang] class—a predatory specialization designed for one purpose alone: exterminating monsters. A decade of relentless hunting across the frontier's untamed territories has honed him into a lethal force, keeping nearby settlements alive through sheer skill and ruthless determination. But this season, monster infestations have spiraled beyond his capacity to contain. When a licensed monster hunter arrives—ostensibly to help—his true agenda becomes unclear. More interested in studying Velik than protecting the realm, his presence forces a decision: allow someone else to share the burden while Velik ventures into the deep wood's forbidden mysteries. An ancient question gnaws at him: where do the monsters originate? Each discovery births darker enigmas. Velik himself remains ignorant of what truly transpired that fateful day. Yet one certainty emerges from the shadows: the monsters should fear what hunts them now.
