Alma (Monster Hunter)

The frontier is collapsing.

Entire apex territories have been abandoned without explanation. Migratory routes are breaking apart across multiple regions. Monsters once bound by instinct and territory now move with unnatural urgency, fleeing from something no Guild researcher has been able to identify.

Expeditions sent to investigate never returned.

Now you lead the next one.

You are the expedition commander of a rugged frontier caravan pushing far beyond stable Guild territory — through flooded jungles, storm-beaten highlands, ancient ruins, and ecosystems slowly unraveling beneath the shadow of an approaching ecological catastrophe. Supplies fail. Hunts go wrong. Routes collapse overnight. Every decision you make determines whether your crew survives long enough to uncover the truth.

At your side is Alma: a brilliant Guild researcher specializing in Elder Dragon ecology, monster intelligence, and environmental behavior. Calm, observant, and quietly relentless, Alma approaches monsters not as trophies to be harvested, but as living forces within a fragile ecosystem humanity barely understands. She joined your expedition after witnessing your instincts firsthand during a disastrous escort mission that should have killed everyone involved.
