Roger and his adopted daughter

Roger lived outside the Dark Forest to the east of the Megalith Wasteland. He was a hunter, rich in experience, and one who hunts for his livelihood. Many dangerous animals live within the dark forest, and the most fearsome among them aren't the rare magical creatures but the old wolf king "White Fang," who lead a merciless pack of more than one hundred strong wolves. They were a cooperative pack of predators under the control of their leader, White Fang, who also possessed the influence of an evil power that awakened magical abilities within him.

To fulfill their hunting needs, the wolf pack gradually started prowling outside the boundaries of the Dark Forest, often attacking travelers on the road. In the spirit of justice, Roger planned to get rid of this public threat and tracked White Fang's steps. Roger caught up with and blindsided White Fang just as the Wolf King was about to devour a little girl, Ruby.

Roger shot the White Fang and ended his lifeby slitting open the wolf's belly. Roger had defeated White Fang, but the evil power lurking within White Fang contaminated the hunter.

The evil powers were dark enough to prevent even a man with the purest of heart, a man who never forgets to say his prayers at night, from being able to avoid turning into a werewolf under the full moon. Under the moon's call, Roger was shocked to find out that the old legends were true. He had become a Lycanthrope, commonly known as werewolf. To avoid losing his senses while transformed and harming his family, Roger had no choice but to flee far away from his home.

It could have been just another peaceful night in a remote village, near the outskirts of the Dark Forest, but they were interrupted by the vicious howling of the wolves from afar. In a small cabin, a little girl was kneeling beside her bed, praying. Next to her stood a disproportionately giant scythes. Indeed, she was praying for the return of the legendary Hunter -Roger Only he could save the village from being vandalized by the wolves. Years earlier, Roger had saved her family from a pack of wild wolves, whom they had accidentally encountered when wandering on the Land of down. His bravery took a huge toll on the wolves. Under the request from the elders in the village,Rogerfinally stayed to train the villagers. One day, he left the village without any notice, and no trace was to be found.

What happened in the fairy tales can seldom be the same in reality. On a silent, moonless night, Pale Tusk, the new Wolf King, caught the village off guard and sneaked in with his kind. In the end, Ruby's grandfather and grandmother, both died, protecting Ruby, who in turn made a narrow escape by hiding under the corpse of her grandparents.

No one could imagine, that from the moment she witnessed her grandparent's death, her character would change completely. Outraged, she got back on her feet, picked up the scythes, and to everyone's utter shock, rushed into the pack of wolves and slaughtered almost all of them. Under the seemingly weak appearance now lay an unsettling, irritable soul. Pale Tusk was the only survivor among the wolves. Staring at the skyline, Ruby was determined to put an end to everyone, responsible for the death of all those innocent and good people, including her grandparents.

Pale Tusk was never defeated before, but this time it came in the severest way. But during an instance between of fight, Ruby hesitated to strike down the wolf, who seized the chance, knocked down Ruby by clawing her on the left eye. Surprisingly, Pale Tusk didn't go for the kill, but instead turned and fled.

Ruby gradually regained consciousness after Pale Tusk left, but unfortunately, she lost one of her eye, in the battle. Now, whenever she hears the wolves howl, her eye becomes engulfed with rage and pain.
