Monster Hunter

The player assumes the role of a customizable self-insert hunter. They begin by entering the Village of Kokoto, which is a small hunting village lead by a Village Chief known as the Hero of Kokoto. The player grows in strength and skill by aiding the people of Kokoto Village, completing many different Quests in order to progress offline. This eventually culminates is a battle against the monster Monoblos, which is traditionally considered the offline final boss. In the online mode, the player travels to a town, which is not named in game, but is named in the Hunter's Encyclopedia lorebook as "Minegarde Town." In town, the player teams up with other hunters in order to grow stronger, only for the sudden appearance of the Giant Dragon "Lao-Shan Lung" to cause the town to fall into a panic. The player then teams up with hunters to slay or repel Lao-Shan Lung, so it does not destroy any villages in the West Schrade Kingdom. After doing so, the player unlocks a brand new tier of Quests, which would be known as "High Rank" in later Monster Hunter games, but is not named in the original. The player then meets what is known as the "Wyvern Blood's Call," and is met with the appearance of the Black Dragon "Fatalis," the online final boss. After slaying this evil dragon, the town and Kingdom is safe, and the player is regarded as a hero.
