Plot:

You step into the shoes of a hero born in a village of Riders, individuals who make their livelihood by raising monsters. Overcoming numerous trials, you eventually leave your village to embark on an adventure. Despite cultural differences, you learn to live and cooperate with hunters, eventually bridging the gap between these two vastly different communities.

The situation takes a dire turn when a calamity known as the Black Blight emerges, threatening peaceful lives and the world at large. Riders and Hunters alike are pushed to their limits in the face of this peril.

The key to the world’s survival lies in the Friendship Gem and its hidden power, much like the “Legend of Redan,” which unravels the secret origins of the Riders!
