So my next Fan-Fiction will be about Monster Hunter. I managed to upload this sooner than I thought. Monster Hunter is a truly amazing J-RPG and if you haven't played it yet I highly recommend you do as it teaches some important life lessons such as patience and that life's harsh. Get over it. Anyone who has completed all the single player quests in Monster Hunter Freedom Unite I tip my hat to you as having been there and done it myself I know just how hard it is. Anyway on with the story. It will be based in Yukomo Village but it will have all the content (monsters, quests, etc.) including G-Rank. This story will be based solely on OCs and their journey as hunters. The chapters will be slightly longer than my Kingdom Hearts 3 story and hopefully better quality as I learn more as a writer. So dig in and I hope you enjoy it. Also my two main characters will use a great sword and the other a bow. Do some research if you don't know what those are.

Chapter 1: A New Friend

His name was Cade. His age? He had just turned nineteen years old. Cade looked at the strange town in front of him. Its name was Yukomo Village. He remembered his life in a small seaside village called Moga Village. The six years spent training to reach this moment. It all started with that fateful encounter with a Rathian. Cade felt himself reaching for the Rathian claw around his neck for courage. Its greenish hue around the base of the claw captivated him. Yukomo Village was definitely bigger than his home village. There were a lot more people milling about in the shops.

"Ready to become a Guild Hunter?" Cade asked himself as he stepped through the village's main gate. The biggest building in the village was most definitely the Guild building. He had heard that the Hot Springs were also in that building for the hunters returning from quests. His first job was to establish himself with the Village Chief. He walked over and Introduced himself to her.

"Ah…so you're the new hunter that just arrived," she said. "Allow me to introduce myself. I am the Chief of this village. For the time you stay here please treat it as your own."

Cade thanked her in appreciation.

"We rarely get so many new hunters in one day," she said.

"May I ask how many hunters have joined today?" asked Cade using the best manners he could think of.

"We've had one girl from a big place called Dondruma Town. I don't know how long she will last." The village chief seemed to doubt this new hunter. "And there is one young man from our own village named Gareth. He seems to be quite a promising young hunter. As a hunter it will be your job to solve any problems your fellow villagers have with the monsters living in the surrounding area. Speaking of which there has been a rise in some."

Cade continued to listen even as his mind began to wonder.

"Of course you will need a place to stay," the chief said. She pointed to a multi-storied building to the left that appeared to already have a few people living in it. "That place still has a spot free. You will have to share the building with a couple of other hunters. Each room has an item box. Things you gather during quests and equipment you craft can be stored in your item box."

Cade liked the sound of a near unlimited storage system as he would need a lot of items to become a successful hunter. And the Guild only gave good quests to successful hunters or teams.

"Being a hunter you may use the hot springs in the Guild Hall as much as you like. There are shops in the village that will sell you items that will be imperative to success as a hunter. Forging and upgrading weapons or armour and a shop that sells consumable items for you to use on quests. If you need it there is a training school with an arena to hone your skills and practise remembering monster patterns. Highly recommended. "

"I think I might check that place out after I've settled in, signed up with the guild and sorted my living area out," thought Cade.

"Please don't hesitate to ask any of us for help during your time here," the chief continued. "If you want to take part in some easier quests by yourself then I will be able to issue some out for you. I'll give you some money to start with."

The village chief gave him 1500 zennys starting money.

"Thanks for your time, money and help," thanked Cade while bowing deeply. "I greatly appreciate it."

"It is only my pleasure to help newcomers to the village," said the chief as Cade continued on through the town. He stopped off at the blacksmith where the blacksmith introduced himself and his granddaughter who sold weapons to the village hunters. However there wasn't anything available there that could match his Golem Blade yet. Cade started to head over to the Guild Hall. It looked even bigger up close. Cade turned around to admire his surroundings only to be knocked over by a girl running in the direction of the Guild Hall.

"Oof," came the sound of the air rushing out of his lungs as he fell backwards onto the ground. The girl ended up on the ground too.

"Watch where you're going!" she exclaimed. Cade managed to get up and helped the girl up too. She had straight brown hair that came down to her shoulders and caramel coloured skin. Her eyes were a shade of green that looked like a Rathian. She brushed herself off.

"Sorry about that," she apologised. "I really should try to watch where I'm going if I want to become a successful hunter."

"Wait…you're that hunter the village chief was talking about," Cade said. The girl looked at him questionably. "Uh you're the one from Dondruma Town right?"

She nodded.

"The names Rozalyn van Luhregg," she said holding out her hand. Cade shook it. "But please just call me Roza. I hate people calling me by my full name."

Cade couldn't see why she would hate being called Rozalyn. He wouldn't have any complaints being called that. That is if he were a girl.

"OK," he said after thinking. "I'm Cade. Nice to meet you."

"Are you going to sign up with the Guild?" Roza asked looking at the rather large Golem Blade on Cade's back and his full set of Jaggi armour.

"Yeah," he answered. "You too?"

"Of course," she said. "I know! We can sign up together."

"Sure," said Cade glad that he wouldn't have to sign up with the Guild himself. "I hear there is one other hunter joining up today. Maybe he can find him."

"OK but remember, three's a crowd," said Roza quoting a famous phrase. Cade was surprised that he had made a friend so quickly as that would never have happened in Moga Village. Roza sounded like she was trying to hide a posh accent.

"It probably comes from living in a place as big as Dondruma Town," Cade thought to himself. The two of them continued to talk while walking up the many stairs toward the Guild Hall. When they got there they looked at the counter where they had to sign up.

"You want to go first," Rozalyn offered. She looked a little nervous. Cade laughed.

"Whatever happened to ladies first," he said in mock politeness. They both laughed. "If you say so."

Cade walked up to the counter and the Guild Attendant asked for his name.

"Cade Kanisha," he answered. The Guild Attendant wrote this down.

"Gender?" she asked. Looking up she muttered "male" as she wrote it down in her book. "Age?"

"Nineteen," he said. The Guild Attendant sighed.

"They keep getting younger and younger," she muttered under her breath. Neither Cade nor Roza knew what to say to this.

"That's all," the Attendant announced. "Next!"

Cade stepped back as Roza stepped forward.

"Name?" asked the Attendant the same as before.

"Roza," she answered.

"Full name?" asked the Attendant annoyed.

"Rozalyn van Luhregg," answered Roza. She didn't seem to like the name for some reason. The Attendant snorted.

"Female," she muttered as she wrote it down. "Age?"

"Nineteen," Roza answered. She stepped away from the counter.

"You must complete the low-rank quests before you can move on to high and G rank quests," informed the Guild Attendant. "And if you fail a quest the Guild will keep the Quest fee you paid beforehand. Good luck. You'll need it"

She muttered the last part under her breath although the two new hunters could still hear it. Instead of taking a quest straight away, Cade and Roza went back to the building they were housed in. Both talked some more along the way.

"Why don't you like your name or accent?" asked Cade.

"Have you ever heard of a hunter who came from a rich family?" asked Roza obviously not liking the topic. Cade saw her point and stopped talking about that.

"What about you?" she asked. "Where do you come from?"

"I'm from Moga Village," answered Cade. "My mother died when I was pretty young so my Dad looked after me. We did a lot of outdoor stuff together."

Roza nodded as she listened.

"Sounds a whole lot more exciting than my growing up," she commented. "Do you have any hunting experience?"

"Yeah," Cade answered as he remembered the past six years of training. "Ever since I was involved with a Rathian hunt when I was thirteen my dad helped me train to become a hunter. But the Moga Woods are very different compared to this area so most of that will change. Did you get any experience before coming here?"

"I sneaked out of the town to practice with a bow I made. I hadn't fought off any large monsters until a Tigrex started threatening our town."

Cade's eyes widened.

"How did that work out?" he asked. Tigrex was notoriously known as an extremely vicious pseudo-wyvern that attacked anything and everything.

"I didn't kill it but using some tools I found around I managed to fend it off," she grinned. "After that my parents finally allowed me to become a hunter."

"What did they want you to be beforehand?"

"A scholar."

Roza pulled a face while Cade stared at her awestruck.

"That's…amazing!" he exclaimed. Roza grinned and even blushed a little.

"How did you get a Golem Blade before even signing up with the Guild?" she asked. "I don't know much about Great Swords or those big weapons but I'm sure that Golem Blades are a little higher up the weapon tree."

"There isn't that much story to it," said Cade. "I just scavenged the materials for it when I was training."

Roza nodded. Both still had a lot of questions to ask each other.

"Have you fought any big monsters other than that Rathian?" Roza asked.

"Mostly just Great Jaggis but I went on some hunting some bigger monsters with my dad and his friends at the village."

The two friends finally made it to the building they were staying at. Each was living at different levels.

"I guess we won't do any quests until tomorrow," said Roza. "I think I might get a felyne to help with gathering materials."

"See ya tomorrow," Cade said as he walked up the stairs to the second level. Roza laughed for some reason.

"What?" asked Cade.

"Sorry," said Roza, still laughing. "It's just that no one said things as casual as that to me back at Dondruma Village."

"Oh," said Cade. He started laughing too. They said goodbye to each other and went their separate ways. Each was equally excited about their first quest the next day.

Cade's Journal: "I met this girl named Rozalyn who was also signing up to be a hunter today. It will be much easier and fun hunting with another person. I was surprised we became friends so quickly as I am normal considered quite antisocial by other people. Even more surprising was that we socialized so easily when we are from completely different classes in society. Besides, enough writing for today. Tomorrow will be exciting and tiring trying to prove myself to the guild. Why does that attendant think I wouldn't be good enough for the job? I won't worry myself about it though. With Roza around I think I can handle it if on Guild Attendant doesn't like me."

Roza's Journal: "I met this guy when I went to sign up to be a hunter today named Cade. He was kind of cute with this strange blue hair with hazel eyes. My mother and father probably wouldn't like me hanging around him but he seems good company and he was nice to me. Even when I ran into him. Also why did that guild attendant think we were too young? Humph. I'll show her we can do the job. Give a couple of months and we'll be right up there hunting Nargacugas and Diablos'."

So there it is. Please review to keep the series running strong. It would be great to have some people who have played Monster Hunter to review it as well to test its authentication. The journals at the end of the chapter is also an experimental way for me to sum up each character's feeling at the end of each chapter as there will be about a quest per chapter with not many cliffhanger endings. So like I said enjoy the series and please review and provide constructive criticism as much possible. Ta ta for now.
