A Gripping Plot Awaits
The story unfolds amidst a sudden crisis—a rampaging Beehive creature wreaks havoc in a hunting ground. Thanks to the intervention of Zig and his rescue team, the damage was kept to a minimum, but the event claimed many lives among adventurers. This murky incident raises suspicions within the guild, leading the vice president, Kirk, to summon Zig for a thorough investigation. Utilizing a vast network built from dealings with demi-humans, armories, and even the Mafia, Zig strives to unveil the truth behind the chaos.
Meanwhile, the character Shiyasha, left with lingering discontent, begins to stir in the shadows, hinting at further developments in the story.
