Anyone who has played any Monster Hunter game will have probably noticed at some point that the ways these so called "monsters" act are strangely familiar, with their behavior being more animalistic than monstrous. This is without a doubt the thing that separates this franchise from all other monster hunting games; the beasts we do battle with are little more than this world's versions of animals. Now it's no secret that we're familiar with the lives of the humans, felyns, and wyverians, as we spend a lot of time with them; however, what about the monsters? Do we really know what the lives of these fantastical animals are like?

In this book, we'll be exploring the hidden lives of the monsters themselves and see the world through their eyes. We'll learn what their everyday lives are like, the challenges they must face to survive in their natural habitats, and even how they manage to more or less peacefully coexist with other creatures and civilization.

So if you want to see what it's like to live as a monster, join me on this journey, and discover the hidden lives of monsters.

Warning! Because nature can be very unforgiving, some of these stories may contain potentially upsetting content to some readers, with gore, violence, and mating being some of them. This book is supposed to give an accurate representation of monster lives, so despite not being present in the games for obvious reasons, the simple fact is that these less palatable things definitely do happen when nobody's looking.

Conflicted | An Indoraptor Story by EmeryE2
9 parts Ongoing Mature
No one looks at a killer and thinks "oh, they're probably just misunderstood." Because who would think that when you've killed someone, when you've drawn blood without the intent for mercy. That just doesn't sit well with people, especially the humans, so, I've gotten used to the way people see me. I've killed plenty of things in my life, all in one single cage in the basement of a building. I've killed small things, like mice, and bugs, (I was desperate at that time), and I've even killed a few humans in my cage, but I've also killed things that were close to me, and I've never forgiven myself, even though a side of me always told me that killing was what I was made for. That was my life, until I found myself in the wrong place at the wrong time a few too many times. Which led to the fight, and fall which I only hoped would be my death, because I've never wanted anything more, but it wasn't. This story contains gore, violence, death, descriptive torture and gore, suicidal thoughts, massacre, and more, reader discretion advised. This story is not very well written, not anything like Ripper: an Indoraptor Story, or Hybrids, both by EkemWrites, but I still did my best on it, and I hope you enjoy it if you decide to read it. This book is in continuous production (even if I take long breaks) so I may edit or redo chapters even when I'm already further ahead in the book. I advise watching Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom to get the basic story to avoid confusion at the beginning.

Esme "Ever since birth I've been looked at with eyes of hatred, despair, fear, as well as pity... no one has ever looked at me with love, care or desire... I want someone to see me as not a lonely orphan, but a girl that needs love." Dazod "Everything always has and always will be set in stone for me. No matter what happens, I am going to rule this dimension. As given the title 'Demon Lord', and it is a huge honor... however there is a part of me that doesn't know if this is the path I truly want..." ~ Esme is a human girl, lonely since the day of her birth. She's come to learn that the only way to survive is to not trust anyone and have an indifferent personality. However... one day a man with horns appears in the dumpster outside her apartment complex, she thought he may have been a regular cosplayer just trying to get by... until she noticed his wounds and how fatal they were, he was undoubtedly swaying between life and death.

Tales From the Void by AlDragonObsessor
11 parts Complete
*This series features dragons from the mobile game DragonVale. I do not claim ownership of the dragons or designs, only the individual personalities and created lore, which majorly diverges from the canon DragonVale lore.* *Potential gore warning for some of these stories. There are some graphic scenes of violence in "Skytooth" , "Dougal" , "Fiona" , "Photon" , and "Jolt" * This is a series of short stories spun-off from my graphic novel series: From the Void, In the Void, and To the Void. This trilogy documented the journey of two groups of dragons from a dimension known simply as the Void. After a massive famine, this world falls into chaos, giving rise to a pack of cannibals that systematically ends the population. This group is known as the Voidian Raiders. Over the course of the three series, we meet a band of survivors that ultimately defeats the raiders and, later on, teams up with them to save the dying Void. This culminates in the remaining Voidian population settling an island in the Dragon Universe, starting over from scratch. Tales From the Void is a series of side stories, documenting the journeys of other Voidians and their struggles in background of these events. Some directly intersect with the events of the Void series, some only connect losely, and some are connected to entirely other storylines in my vast Dragon Universe continuity. Most are written, however, in a way that you do not need to understand the full scope of the lore, and you are given enough context that you can get the basic story.
