One favor, one journey, one game-changing weapon.
With tensions between humans and mystical creatures at an all-time high, going on a journey for rare blood was never going to be good.
Especially when Vaughn knows he's the only one who can turn it into a weapon.
As the journey continues, doubts soon begin to grow - between Vaughn and his companion, his strict manager from work; doubts about the past his family had warned him of; and finally, about the true reason behind this journey.
Why exactly did the requester want this blood? 
Do they know how dangerous it can be? And if they do, what are they planning to do with it?

The New World. As its name implies, a land filled with the Unknown. To some, a treasure trove of discovery and riches, to others, the thrill of adventure and the chance of glory, but to all, a mystery filled with endless possibilities. 40 years ago, The Hunters Guild formed a group of the elite in order to investigate this uncharted paradise. That was the birth of The Research Commission. After a perilous journey through the sea, the First Fleet of the Commission crashed on the new world. Unable to move their destroyed vessel, the First Fleet decided to make the crashing site where their new base will be, and after years of adapting and building, they created Astera. 30 years ago, the Second Fleet departed, consisting mostly of Engineers and technicians, whose mighty hammers and incandescent forges created tools and weapons that were sorely needed. 20 years ago, a group of researchers, the Third Fleet, arrived in the New World. However, they stayed in their own base, floating in the air. Whether it was scientific curiosity or the call of something from the beyond, "The Thirds" decided to research the Valley of death. 10 years ago, the resourceful and organized Fourth Fleet arrived, creating systems and stability making sure everything ran as precisely as it should. Lastly, stepping on the trails of the Scorching Mountain Dragon, the largest fleet set sail towards The New World. Filled with the best hunters the guild could find, and thanks to the solid base built-in Astera over years of hardships, will The Fifth Fleet become the final key to unlock the mysteries of the new world? This is a tale of a group of passionate members of the Fifth fleet, who, guided by the radiance of the Sapphire Star, will challenge the unknown and brave the brute forces of nature itself. This is their story, This is...
