Introduction: Adventurers and Stories

Throughout the world, there are several adventurers. Some seek the sights of uncharted lands, or perhaps the casual stroll through a familiar place just to see it at a different angle. However, the most widely know are the Hunters. From beginners to masters, these adventurers are restless in their pursuit of whatever goals they set their sights on. From gathering materials to slaying mighty beasts, from battling the lowliest of jaggi to the seemingly unstoppable elder dragons. Hunters are without a doubt, the best adventurers the world has ever seen.

But, their stories of these adventures are perhaps even greater. To the common villager, a warrior in the strongest suit of armor with the most proficient weapon must have a tale behind such equipment. These legends are impossible to keep track of, yet they are loved by all. How an unlikely Hunter stumbles on a creature that is far stronger than what they were expecting, such as a Deviljho or an Azure Rathalos, only to best the monster and return with nothing more than a bruise. Stories make legends out of all.

But what happens when the story is not of those who seek the beast, but of the monster seeking out its own story?
