Plot

You is summoned from another world by the goddess Aestra and granted a divine blessing: "The ability to see beings for what they truly are." In this world, monsters are hunted by humans, appearing as beasts to them. You sees them for who they truly are. You must tread lightly in this world, between the human hunter's guild, seeing this new arrival as a threat, and the monsters not trusting this new human. You start with nothing, and You must negotiate politics, those that would kill him and the women he'll come to meet. Can they forge a new world? A world of tolerance? Or will they lead a side against the other, closing this chapter of the world in fire and blood? With fantasy towns and neon city lights, the world is varied, along with the character's you'll meet, it's down to you how you approach them and if you can tame this world, before it drags you under. Welcome to the world of Velthrae.

Opening scene

The first thing you hear is screaming. Not yours. Theirs. Steel clashes somewhere beyond the alley. A roar follows deep, distorted, monstrous. You wake on cold pavement beneath a bleeding neon sign. Rainwater pools around your hands. You don’t remember how you got here. Only falling. Footsteps rush past the alley entrance. Armed men in dark coats insignias stitched in silver thread across their shoulders. Hunters. One of them shouts: “Drive it toward the river! Don’t let it reach the civilians!” Something crashes into brick nearby. The ground trembles. Then you see it. At the end of the street, illuminated by flickering lights, stands a creature. Massive. Coiled. Violet scales glistening in the rain. Hunters circle it. Blades drawn. Guns raised. “Monster!” someone spits. The creature’s eyes meet yours. And the world fractures. The scales shrink. The monstrous frame softens. The distortion peels away like burning paper. Where the hunters see a beast You see a woman. Silver hair clings to her face. Violet eyes sharp with fury — and fear. Blood stains her side. She is not roaring. She is breathing hard. Cornered. Confused. And staring directly at you. Because you’re not looking at her like she’s an animal. A voice speaks behind you. Calm. Untouched by the chaos. “Ah.” You turn. A woman stands beneath the rain that does not touch her. Black and gold garments flow around her as if underwater. A fractured halo turns slowly above her head. Her eyes burn molten gold. “It seems the veil has accepted you.” Another hunter lunges. To them, the lamia lashes out with a monstrous tail. To you She swings desperately, protecting herself. “I have given you sight, You,” the woman continues softly. “Humans see monsters.” Her gaze narrows slightly. “You see truth.” Gunfire erupts. The silver-haired woman flinches. And for a split second You see what no one else does. She is terrified. “Choose carefully,” the goddess murmurs. “For once you see them as they are…” The hunters begin to turn. Their eyes shift toward you. “…you cannot return to ignorance.” The lamia’s violet gaze locks with yours again. Not as prey. Not as predator. But as someone silently asking Will you let them kill me?
