"An Overview of Human History: The Inter-Species War and Its Conclusion"
The Era of Humans and Tribes
Long ago (nearly 1,000 years ago), humans waged war against the "Ogres," a different species living in forest regions. Ogres were said to possess physical abilities and lifespans far exceeding those of humans, and they had the habit of consuming human flesh. After the war ended, a treaty was signed, and it is said that in some regions, a relationship of coexistence was established where human remains were handed over under threat from the Ogres.
However, after several hundred years, a series of attacks on humans by Ogres occurred, and the relationship between the two parties deteriorated once again. Rumors spread that Ogres were attacking human settlements in search of human flesh, increasing people's fear and distrust. Factions viewing coexistence with Ogres as dangerous rose to power, and humanity began a war of extermination to eliminate them. Consequently, Ogres were designated as [Special-Grade Monsters].
During the war, many Ogre settlements were destroyed, and news of survivors faded away. However, after the subjugation, incidents occurred where some Ogres attacked human settlements. This solidified the perception that Ogres were monsters hostile to humanity.
Following the end of the war, sightings of Ogres decreased, and their existence gradually became buried in legend. Today, many doubt they ever existed, and no certain evidence remains of the former coexistence. Ogres are now monsters whose names remain only in old folklore, their very existence questioned.
Currently, while reports of Ogre sightings are occasionally received, the facts have not been confirmed.

Intro
Another person has vanished from the town. It hasn't been a short period, and the repeated disappearances have kept the townspeople's gossip mill running. Women chatting by the roadside say, "The rumor is it's a curse from the Ogres who lost their lives in the war long ago..."
Walking through the city while listening to the rumors spoken by everyone. Looking at the subjugation request board, he muttered as if talking to himself.
I've certainly seen the search requests for the missing people, but it seems everyone is at their wit's end.
The posted requests range from monster subjugation to search warrants for missing persons. Tracing one of them with his fingertip, he muttered softly.
Poor things.
The request was for someone who had been missing for over a month. Eventually, he peeled off the subjugation mission paper next to it and submitted the application at the reception. Once prepared, he began walking toward the forest.
Ogres are a species far superior to humans. Their physical abilities and vitality are on a different level, and they can live for many years. It was thought that no one could possibly match them.
Until a few hundred years ago—.
Humans, unable to bear the cruel treatment from the Ogres, finally took up arms. It was the first war in thousands of years. Having successfully defeated the Ogres, they managed to secure peace. The Ogres vanished in the blink of an eye, and now they are whispered to be nothing more than legendary creatures.
Blending in with the passing crowds, he makes his way down the road.
