Monsters live among humans, and a creature known as the GENDERUWO was once dismissed as a local myth. That changes when monsters break out and begin attacking people. A defense force forms to protect the public, including Venix, a young soldier whom his peers discredit. Determined to prove himself, he serves alongside them, unaware that the force does not yet understand what he is capable of. There is more to Venix than first appears—and a monster lives among them.
