Monster Eater

Rude, an adventurer in the frontier city of Barona, possessed no combat abilities. His peers looked down on him, calling him a "Miasma Scavenger" with disdain. He spent his days exploring the Miasma Dungeon using his only skill, "Status Ailment Nullification"-until one day, he heard rumors of a newly discovered dungeon. As Rude prepared to set out immediately, another adventurer called out to him.

Rude joined "The Crimson Blade" as a porter, led by the adventurer Vaiell. The trek was smooth-until it wasn't. In the uncharted depths, the air grew heavy. From the shadows, an impossible nightmare emerged: a Minotaur. Its roar shook the labyrinth. It was a high-ranking foe they were never meant to face.

At the guild, Vaiell delivered the lie with a pale face. "The Minotaur killed him. Rude is dead". Fear gripped the room. But then, the doors creaked open. A heavy scent of blood and miasma flooded the hall as a shadow emerged. "Dead? That's news to me, Vaiell". It was Rude. But his eyes were no longer those of a scavenger-they were the eyes of a predator.
