by shadow-emminence
Three years ago, the legendary hunter known only as the White Phantom vanished. Feared by monsters, respected by kingdoms, and known for his unmatched Snowflake Swordplay, he disappeared during an investigation into a conspiracy hidden beneath the world's endless war against the Astrix. The world moved on. The Astrix continued to spread. Kingdoms continued their games. And the White Phantom was forgotten. Now a seemingly ordinary student enters the Royal Hunter Academy. Weak. Unremarkable. Invisible. Beneath that facade lies a broken legend whose shattered meridians threaten to kill him whenever he uses his power. While four ambitious young hunters chase their dream of becoming the greatest hunters in history, a hidden war unfolds behind kingdoms, organizations, and ancient secrets. Somewhere in the shadows, the man responsible for the White Phantom's fall continues his pursuit of absolute power. He believes his greatest enemy is dead. He is wrong.
