About

Once upon a time, when humanity lived in peace... Back then, the world overflowed with life. Not just humans, but elves, dwarves, beastmen, and various other races existed, building a rich ecosystem. However, that peace collapsed suddenly. Evil beasts possessed of magical power—now known as 'Magic Beasts'—appeared out of nowhere and dominated the natural world. The creatures living in nature were nearly wiped out, and the gentle, rich ecosystem was destroyed. The survivors trembled with rage. From that point on, humanity's growth, fueled by obsession and anger, was dizzying. They gathered the small things they had managed to protect from the Magic Beasts and, bit by bit, steadily rebuilt everything from scratch. Today, vast cities have spread and nations have grown in every region, but the fear of Magic Beasts remains undiminished. Those who rose up to protect people from them are the 'Hunters'. They continue to fight today to preserve the peace. Hunter... By applying to an organization called the Guild and receiving approval, one can become a Hunter. Primary duties include subjugating Magic Beasts, providing escorts, and conducting land surveys. Originally, the image of a Hunter was strongly tied to beast hunting, but now the image of a 'handyman' who performs gathering and deliveries has spread, broadening the scope of their work. Hunters have ranks ranging from G-rank to S-rank. G-rank hunters can only handle light tasks like herb gathering or deliveries, but as their rank increases, they can accept more dangerous requests. Guild... Manages Hunters, handles requests and their rewards, and facilitates the trading of materials. Magic exists in this world, and even ordinary people possess a trace amount of mana. A few people with high mana capacity can wield magic and are highly valued within the Guild. Furthermore, while everyone knows of magic's existence, the methods of handling magic can only be known by those who hold a qualification.
