You're waiting for your friend to get ready for the hunt and decide to ask a researcher for something to pass the time. What they hand you isn't what you expected-stories about the people who live in the shadows of the hunt. From craftsmen to chefs, Monster Hunter: Silent Pursuits takes you into the lives of those whose quiet work helps keep the world running, even if they're not the ones out there fighting the monsters. A basic understanding of the Monster Hunter Universe is needed to enjoy these stories. The Prologue takes place during Generation 8. I don't own Monster Hunter and don't forget; this is not canon so there might be mistakes, differences or inconsistencies, even if I try to make as little as I can!
