description
<p>This is a story about two sisters, Jun Arai and Jun Sana, and their friends, Juni, Ling and Shu who make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau, an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna endemic to their home Great World. When they get dragged into a grand scheme to unpick the ancient secrets entombed within one its foremost forbidden zones in their world, the Yin Eclipse Mountains, they must all try to survive the dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that had rather hoped it was done with that kind of thing a few eras hence.</p> <p>So please come join Arai, Sana, Juni, Ling, Shu and the rest of my cast as they journey through strange lands, meet all kinds of unusual beings and unravel some of the power and glory of a land time tried very hard to forget.</p> <p>I promise terrifying mushrooms, angry snakes, confused gods, even more confused cultivators and much, much more!</p> <p>Important note: If you are a new reader, you can start the story from the beginning, and read as normal, rewritten chapters are in the correct place at this point.Update schedule: (Dec-2023) As chapters are done, with the goal of keeping a slight content buffer.</p> <p>Progress: Currently up to old chapter 13-16. Chapter 25/14 and supporting PoV's from Chapters 15 and 16 will be the end of the rework. The full drafts of the remainder of the rewrite (for 24/14 and post sections, along with chapter 109) are available for patreon's on my discord as they undergoes final revisions on some of the PoV.</p> <p>You can currently pick up most story threads after the rewritten chapters, starting from chapter 13-14 (old)</p> <p>Genre-wise, this is a bit hard to pin down. It's technically a Xianxia (because cultivators!), but it also veers towards Xuanhuan and has more traditional High Fantasy elements and a bit of Gods and Monsters and All Myths Are (on some levels) Valid. It also has a fairly large, ensemble cast, so if multiple point's of view are not your thing I am sorry. It won't ever really be considered 'grimdark' by any real measure of that definition but it does go to some complicated and fairly dark places occasionally, which I will note in author pre-chapter notes when expedient!I have updated the tags to account for recent changes to the RR definitions. 'Disturbing Content' now has a much broader definition, so i have added the tag, but significant instances within the story are noted in chapter-blurbs. Also, Portal Fantasy Hyoooo~!</p> <p>About the Author</p> <p>I mainly write fiction for my own hobby, it makes a nice change from academic scribbling! I started writing this quite a number of years ago. It has grown somewhat organically out of a bunch of different interests in all kinds of Mythology, World Building, Drawing Maps, Archaeology, Anthropology, History and Epic Fantasy fiction into what it is today.</p> <p>So I hope you enjoy the story and thanks for reading!</p> <p>Other stuff</p> <p>The cover is made by the author, using photos taken by the author.</p> <p>There is a Discord Server- Please come and chat, but beware of spoilers.</p>
