Monsters.
Since the founding era of Britannia, the battle for survival against beasts that threatened their survival in the land had always been ruthless and soaked with blood.
In those early years, before the awakening of Cognis, the people of Britannia stood almost powerless against them.
Villages vanished overnight.
Travel routes became graveyards.
Entire families disappeared into the forests, leaving only scattered bones and broken wagons behind.
The monsters possessed terrifying strength and strange mythical abilities that the people at that time could neither explain nor counter.
And so, many people died.
Not dozens, not hundreds.
But thousands.
The land of Britannia only began to change when Cognis awakened within their ranks.
The moment the people learned to harness that hidden force; the balance of power slowly shifted.
It did not happen overnight, but step by step, they began fighting back.
Monsters were pushed away from cities.
Hunting squads were formed.
