The Demonic Lancers.

It's been known that the only way for these warriors to become stronger is to defeat each other and absorb their fallen peer's power.

The Empire discovers, through the battles held between combat slaves and monsters at arenas every day, that the Demonic Lancers' powers could actually be intensified through battles with abnormally powerful monsters and creatures that have been exposed to the energy of the Apostles like Sirocco.

So the government selects the strongest and longest-surviving combat slaves from arenas and sends them everywhere in the country to resolve the aftermath of the Metastasis, exterminate monsters, and keep the general populace happy, all the while cultivating a powerful regiment.

The Dragoons.

They are the professional monster hunters trained by the Empire. The first Dragoon and the leader of the others, Marx, who is also known as Jager, pays a visit to the Imperial lords who own combat slaves, picks out slaves who are most sensitive to Sirocco's energy, and immediately sends them to the Empire.

These slaves, unlike the other Demonic Lancers, are completely isolated from other groups and learn the monster-tracking and hunting techniques and combat arts that the Empire has secretly developed. When their training is complete, they hold a festival of their own called the Red Moon Festival, in which ten warriors who caught bigger game than the others are selected and named Dragoons and sent out to different places on the Arad Continent.

Awakening as a Leviathan

The Leviathan is believed to be the first monster exposed to the Apostles' energy when they came to Arad. It's stronger than any other monsters, but almost impossible to find.

That night a red moon hung in the sky, just like the day I was named Dragoon.

Maybe it was because of the moon. I usually didn't hunt unless I was tasked by the Empire, but that day I went out and hunted monsters that had nothing to do with my assignments, telling myself that I was doing it to protect peace.

After I defeated one last monster, I counted the number of monsters I hunted and felt extremely satisfied by my growing strength. The power I had absorbed from the last monster continued to spread throughout my body.

It appeared, eclipsing the red moon that lit the earth brightly.

Everything instantly became dark. I looked up and became awash in a state of overwhelming fear. Under the bright moonlight, I looked into death and wondered if I was dreaming.

What changed is that my eyes were permanently branded with the terrifying image that they beheld. My body trembled uncontrollably. My hair turned gray overnight. And the memories of its inconceivable power crept behind the fear that dominated my senses.

"No other monster is as strong as that. Every monster has submitted to it. The king of all beasts is there. Do you think you can take him down and become a new king? Otherwise, you'll have to give up your lance here, like I did."

Becoming a Deimos

Those monsters were the mysterious entities that emerged in Arad during the breakout of the Metastasis. What were they? What brought them to Arad? And why were they so violent? The scholars of the Empire decided to identify these creatures that threaten the people of their country.

During their research, they found out that the monsters were driven violent by a mysterious energy, and the same violent behavior could happen in the Dragoons who absorbed their powers to strengthen themselves.

The researchers reported this finding to the Emperor and expressed their concerns. But the Emperor didn't want to give up the powerful regiment that he gained in a short amount of time. So he ignored their warning. The Dragoons grew stronger by the day without anyone's interference.

Soon the first Leviathan was born, and the Dragoons started accomplishing amazing feats as if to answer the Emperor's expectations. It seemed he made the right decision, ignoring the scholars.

But... The scholars' worst fears were realized. A well-respected Leviathan killed one of the Dragoons who followed him and absorbed his power. This shocking news stirred up the entire country, and was considered serious enough to threaten the future of the Empire.

A warrant for his arrest was issued, and the Leviathan was arrested immediately. Then, the scholars were invited to examine him. The scholars found out that he regularly experienced mindless rage and the intervals between these episodes were getting shorter.

The Emperor didn't want a power that he couldn't control. He ordered his death and the collection of his power.

The Leviathan, being the patriot as he was, accepted his fate with aplomb. He gathered renowned Dragoons across the country, distributed all his energy among them, and went to his execution site. And there, he gave his last words to the Dragoons who gathered there for him.

"The monsters' powers are great, but unstable. I couldn't handle them, and this is the consequence. But I know one of you will learn how to completely assimilate them and surpass me one day." That was the well-respected Leviathan's will.

Now... Of all the Dragoons who received his power, only I've survived. I still remember that day and often ask myself: can I surpass him? Or will I be devoured by my own power?

Well, I don't care either way. I'm just going to do what I can do. "Let the hunt begin!"
