Story Beginning - Birth of The Hunting Hero

Hunter Journal Entry #1

My name is Y/N. I'm a Hunter in training in the Demon Clan of Hunters.

I am 9 years old. It is March 8th today and my birthday is on the 11th. I'm really excited since Chizome is taking me to hunt my first Monster!

Chizome is one of the best Hunters in the whole village, even better than Chief Magnus!

He's also writing this for me since I can't yet.

-------------------------------------------------------
-March 11th-

"I have to say," A few Hunters hid behind trees in foliage, watching a few Velociprey fight over meat from their prey, "The kid's got a real eye for this."

The Hunters watched the pack of knee-high raptors from a distance. They traveled through the woodlands hunting smaller prey.

One turned up its snout, smelling the air before shrieking. Y/N dropped from a tree, bringing his Steel Sword down into the neck of it.

He tore it out, severing its head. It wasn't even a second later when another jumped at him.

He quickly used his shield to smack it out of the way, then to back the others, stabbing at them before slamming the shield into them, slashing their thick throats open before they could recover.

A Hunter whistled, "When I was his age, I could barely catch a Bitterbug. He's gonna be a great Hunter when he gets older." They emphasized the part about his age.

He had slain 5 Velociprey in a short time but was very tired from holding them back. A simple drawback from his youth and one he'd just grow out of.

One of the Hunter's eyes wandered up to the sky, "Chizome," they looked down at another Hunter.

He had a white bandana that covered his eyes, two holes were made to show off a deep inside.

A red scarf covered most of his face, he was sharpening one of his dozen blades, and each one was deeply cared for by him, "Yeah?" He dragged the whetstone along its edge.

"Keep an eye on him," They saw a pillar of smoke in the sky above, a signal for them to return, "Chief needs us." The Hunters moved out, "Remember, he can't come back until he slays 20!" They soon disappeared in the tree line.

Chizome shook his head, "Course I remember... We all did it..." He examined his blades, seeing small gashes in them still, "Poor guy... I'll fix you at home."

He stood up, spinning his knives into their sheathed on his hips. Chizome looked back at Y/N, he wasn't doing so bad.

The boy had a few cuts and scrapes but pummeled his 19th Velociprey into the ground. It panicked and kicked away his sword in a frenzy.

Y/N held it down with his body, took his shield into both his hands, lifted it over his head, and repeatedly smashed it down into its head, spraying blood all over him in the process.

Chizome scoffed, Y/N, like most of the young Hunters, are way too gifted to be wasting their time on these lesser prey.

"I keep saying we need better tests. Jagras or even Bullfango-" Chizome stopped, the ground shook slightly with rapidly approaching footsteps.

Through the shrubbery and vines, a Velocidrome jumped out, having heard the screams of its young from far away.

Y/N was breathing heavily as he turned to see it, "Damn!" Chizome rushed towards the Monster.

The Monster lunged at Y/N, who shoved his shield into its face, bashing it away.

"Hey, Y/N!" He fell back, shoved away by it ramming its body into his shield, "Tag him!" Y/N nodded.
