"It is an age when monsters rule the world, soaring through the sky, treading the earth and filling the seas. Humanity survives on the fringes, relying on a special kind of hero to defend the people from danger—the Monster Hunters! Thanks to the Hunters gathered in Pokke Village, the threat of the approaching monsters has passed. However, many are injured and one person is missing, so they can hardly celebrate their battle prowess. The fight has taught Raiga his lack of skill and he loses sight of his original objective. Then Torche invites him to go with her to see the village where he grew up."--Back cover.
