The smell of pine fills the air; the taiga stretches out around us in the middle of July. I, a gamekeeper who knows the forest well, set out to hunt a wild boar. Suddenly, a shot rang out, and I plunged into darkness. Waking up, I found that I’m seventeen and that my name is Max. I ended up in the body of a weak, sickly teenager whom local residents avoid. On my hands are red tattoos of a beast hunter. Now my task is to catch my first pet, survive, and support my family in this crazy world—where people hide behind fragile walls, fighting for their lives, and the forests are teeming with magical creatures. I’m going to become a Beast Hunter, and I’ll use everything I know. With my experience and the “Beast Codex,” it won’t be difficult. After all, the forest is the same everywhere—it only needs to be “read,” and that’s my main skill.
