Twenty years ago, a strange phenomenon took place. Many cracks appeared all around the world. Through those cracks came out monsters. Like Dragons, Goblins, Orcs, Ogres, etc. That day, many people died all across the world. That day was one of horror. It was named "Doomsday of Cracks."
What came from those cracks weren't just monsters. There were beast-folks and elves as well. Humans, together with these beast-folks, managed to get rid of those monsters. Not completely, though. Cracks still appear to this day. But the magic from those monsters that dies spread into the world and people were able to use magic as well. The world got united and now, only one government control the whole world.
Among the people who dies that day, there were a girl's parents aw well. The girl's name was Tsukichima Mina. She, along with her big brother, Tsukichima Raito, joined the Monster Extermination Association. Raito, in an attempt to get stronger to protect his sister who he cherished, became too strong. He's now the Vice Captain of the 1st Squad, the strongest in the world.
Mina, on the other had, is the Captain of the 56th Squad. They're fairly strong but their bond is the real deal. Today, Mina got a mission and was about to head out. Before going, she looked at the forum on her phone once again.
Mission Log:
Type: Long Term Scouting.
Zone: Sector 8X, 53 Miles East of the Central Base 33.
Objective: Survey the area, Document Crack Activity, Do not engage in combat if possible.
Threat Leve: 4-Star Potential.
"4-Star." She said, leaning on the supply truck. "It's manageable as long as nothing goes wrong."
She glanced at her teammates. They were ready.
She put her phone in her pocket. "Alright, you lots. Let's get this mission over with."
Yes, Captain!" They all said in together.
Squad 56 was knows for their bonding. But this was gonna leave a permanent mark no one knew was coming.
Three days later- 45 miles away from the base, they were camping. Mina was writing on her report about everything she encountered on the way.
"We encountered some 3-Star monsters, some Low Threat cracks that were already empty for some reason, and..." She said as she wrote. "That's it."
Then she heard it. A roar. They all got into formation. It was 7-Star monsters. Spider-like. Their squad could kill a 7-Star if they tried hard. But you may have noticed that "monsters" was plural. That's because there were ten.
Mina hesitated but them she said, "Run! We cannot kill them. Get into the vehicles! Now!!!"
But before anyone could react, one of the monsters killed one of her teammates.
"Aargrh!!!! Run! Run!!! Captain!!!!" He shouted as he got torn apart by the monsters.
The others ran. And got killed by the monsters. Mina didn't stop. Because every one of them cried "RUN, CAPTAIN!!! RUN AWAY!!!!!!" before dying. She jumped into the supply truck and stepped onto the accelerator. But the monsters kept following her.
After running the truck at full speed for some time and being chased by ten 7-Star monsters, the truck crashed with a boulder and flipped up-side down in front of a cave. Mina came out, injured. She took out her sword and was ready to take down at least one of them together. But the monsters stopped. They almost looked scared. Then they ran away.
Mina was confused. She said, "What the hell just happen?"
She then heard a growl from behind her. She turned back and...
