Monster Hunting 101

Andrew Karevik

Summary

When I climbed out to the surface this morning, to scavenge some food for my village, I knew the odds were severely stacked against me. A mere nurse, I had no business going out into the sun where all kinds of monstrosities roamed. 
 
 
 
As if to prove my fears right, I was only out in the open for a few minutes when a pack of Kinru spotted me. I was quickly cornered by one of the beasts. 
 
 
 
In a desperate attempt to defend myself, I managed to hurt one in the face . . . right before the creature was snatched by an even bigger monster. Then everything became a blur. 
 
 
 
When I came to, I wasn't the same anymore. As it turns out, wounding the Kinru had earned me some mystical energy called "Bloodpoints" which gave me access to the "Hunter's Sight." Now, wherever I look, I have strange words floating before my eyes urging me to assign those Bloodpoints to gain incredible skills and abilities. 
 
 
 
As I'll learn, there's a name for people like me who've unlocked the Hunter's Sight: Venators. I will need to keep hunting monsters if I want to increase my points and provide for my people. I might even grow strong enough to reclaim the surface from those foul beasts and the worst of them all: the Titans.
