"So, these twenty all followed you to this Guru Mountain, and that's the end of the story?"
In a stone house by the White Swamp of the Moonflow Stream on Guru Mountain, a young man, a monster, and an elder were discussing around a stone table mapped with the continent.
The young man was Igor, who had left the carefree Yonder Travel Academy in pursuit of monsters. He believed capturing a monster would prove his courage, and thus earn him the Courage Medal. With that, he could join the Association of Adventurers and hopefully become a qualified Adventurer.
Igor braved the wilderness, finally arriving at the famed Guru Mountain, said to be home to monsters.
Luckily, he did encounter a monster.
The monster was Kadi, a one-eyed creature whom Igor met by chance.
However, this chance meeting gradually led to an unexpected friendship, and Igor found a good friend in his prey.
