Duskbound: a Monster Hunter LitRPG (Book 2 Stubbed) Novel

Velik is an outcast monster hunter with a rare racial subtype and the unique [The Black Fang] class, perfectly suited for nocturnal hunting. After a childhood incident changed him forever, he's spent a decade protecting frontier settlements, killing the monsters that prowl the wilderness each night. But this year, the monster population has surged beyond what he can handle alone. When a licensed professional hunter arrives, Velik expects help—instead, the newcomer seems more focused on investigating Velik himself. With his territory momentarily secure, Velik seizes the opportunity to venture deeper into the woods, seeking the source of the monster infestation. His search yields more questions than answers, uncovering mysteries that connect to his forgotten past. The truth of what happened during his childhood remains buried, even from Velik. But one certainty guides him: in the darkness where monsters reign, he is the apex predator.
