Monsters hunt in darkness, but a darker predator hunts them. Velik is marked as an outcast—a nocturnal racial subtype wielding the rare class [The Black Fang], a hunter designed for one purpose: exterminating monsters. For a decade, he's honed his craft across the frontier's infested wilds, keeping an isolated stretch of towns alive through sheer skill and relentless nights. But this year, the monster surge overwhelms even him. When a licensed monster hunter arrives seeking answers about Velik rather than collaboration, an unexpected alliance forms. With backup finally secured, Velik ventures into the deep wood's mysteries, chasing the root source of the monster plague itself. Each discovery unravels darker truths, and ancient secrets demand answering—secrets that even Velik doesn't remember from that terrible childhood day. The monsters thought darkness was their domain. They were wrong.
