Renalia's Tale: Monster Huntress

Renalia’s birthdays have always brought the same cruel gift: another [Resist Hunger] skill card, a bitter reminder of her family’s unending struggle. In a world where annual skills manifest as cards, her deck is a testament to survival, not ambition. When the local baron takes interest in her unusual collection, she seizes the chance to escape her life of peat harvesting—only to discover her deck’s true power. Monsters yield fresh skills when slain, and Renalia learns to hunt. Coin flows in, but debts linger—both financial and emotional. The baron’s patronage comes with expectations, her family’s needs grow heavier, and every monster slain leaves its mark on her soul. Renalia chases prosperity, but the cost of each new card may be more than she can bear.
