200 years ago humanity faced it's greatest challenge!
Not Aliens, not nuclear war, not even a pandemic but something far worse and terrifying
Countless portals to other worlds appeared and from it came monsters that were far more powerful than any weapons humanity ever made.
As humanity was about to perish Hunters emerged.
Present time
Year 2226, 1800 hours
Slumbs of Trancoso, Sunstone Kingdom
"Get in line" a muscular, tall bald man with a snake tattoo on his neck said with contempt
Raymond looked up and saw snow falling down.
"It's already winter..not much time before the next tide." He thought to himself
Raymond or Ray as he is called in these parts of Trancoso was currently waiting in a long line. He could see nearly a mile of people slowly moving infront of him.
Most of them were young adults as they had the greatest probability of awakening!
Ray himself was 19 years old. He barely survived the last OWHL (Other Worldy Hostile Lifeform) Tide.
As Ray moved slowly in the long line he hugged himself to fight off the cold and thought of his aunt's last moment
He has already lost both his parents long ago. All he had was his Aunt Fernanda who died protecting Ray from a bearwolf who broke into their house during the last tide 3 years ago.
"Survive..no matter what you have to do.. survive" Fernanda said laying in his arms bleeding heavily from a bite wound on her neck.
A sudden noise snapped Ray out of his reverie "move faggot!" The muscular man with the snake tattoo shouted in his ears
Ray realised that he was so lost in thought that he was stopping the long line from moving forward
He took a step forward and looked at Henry, the man with the snake tattoo with mixed feelings.
This man was a licenced Hunter, someone with the power to kill OWHLs. Hunters wasn't rare most people that survived till middle age in this part of the town was Hunters. Even his parents and his Aunt was Hunters. But Henry was different unlike his Aunt Henry was a rank C hunter someone who cannot be judged with common sense.
After 3 and half hours of waiting in a line and facing the cold of winter made Ray almost faint from exhausion and weakness but he finally reached the front
Infront of Ray was a bunch of people who looked like thugs, they had weapons like swords, hammers, axes and even guns in their hands and they all had a snake tattoo on their necks
One man who had black hair and deep red eyes gestured Ray to pick up a strange stone
This stone looked like a light green pebble with an almost otherworldly smooth surface. When Ray picked it up the pebble glowed and he felt something flowing into his veins. It felt strange as a hot liquid was flowing through his wrist to his heart and then towards the rest of his body
"It feels alive.." this was the last conherent thought he had because when the 'hot liquid' reached his brain and explosion occurred in his mind, a big Bang of information! Which made him faint.
