   It's humorous without being vulgar, and it can even make someone who has never played Monster Hunter before enjoy it. Very few people can pull off this style.

2. 2 宇 Cosmic Carnival 宇宙嘉年华 The Eternal Char永恒的夏亚Sci-Fi & Infinite Flow667k WordsOngoing This is a profoundly unbalanced universe, where someone in jeans is bound to cross paths with someone in power armor. It is also an absurd universe, where corporations have become empires and laws have become religions. The world is bigger than you can imagine, with civilization stretched almost to the edge of the universe. Yet it is also small enough to make you despair, with tens of thousands of light-years of wasteland separating one civilization from another.

It is entirely fictional and has no connection to any real people or groups. Most of what follows comes from the oral account of Daoist Tie He. I have made some educated guesses where there are obvious contradictions and in the gaps in the story. At the request of those involved, and to avoid unnecessary trouble, I have concealed some people's real names. It is worth noting that a series of strang 0Tickets2.7MClicks21.9kFavorites

Then I discovered a mysterious creature in this world called Gudako... and my chuunibyou was cured!*********Characters may act out of character. Since I'm not a big Type-Moon fan, I won't be doing overly rigorous research.

Its words were blasphemous, deranged, and as meaningless as the ravings of a madman. My fate appeared before my clouded eyes. War would once again descend upon the whole world.
