The Eldritch Cataclysm has arrived, and it's here to stay.I was a soldier for over a decade before something whisked me away from Earth. Whoever or whatever had done the spiriting away, well, I loved them to death! Things are far more complicated now, and I'm still a soldier, sort of, but instead of shooting at people with guns, I go after monsters with little more than a glorified toothpick in my hand and a few leather straps protecting my body.Okay, maybe I'm a little bit overreacting, but after hunting monsters for decades, it is hard not to exaggerate. I've seen it monstrous fish that can run on land, flying eyeballs with maws that can gobble up a cow, and then there are dragons. I won't even start with those. My current predicament is a bit worse than usual as we've set out to a faraway monster-infested island, Vosta, to search for Graves. He is one of my best friends, though a bit on the crazy side. He was even banished after blowing up a chunk of the city.After hearing about a top-of-the-line ship, the Osprey, and its departure for Vosta, my lover Valorie, and I, set out to find him. Two other party members joined us on our trip, too. One is a Dwarven inquisitor named Callick, and the other a Goblin named Banxie. I definitely have no scale that can measure the latter's stupidity and willingness to blow things up, but they're both long-time friends and, well, like family. Where one goes, the others follow. The only problem? We are nowhere near Vosta. The monsters are much stronger, pitch-black rifts open and spew out all kinds of creatures, and the worst of all, a Dragon has made the land its own. Things quickly change when the Dragon appears in the form of a dangerous but alluring woman. She is very interested in seeing our progress...among other things.
