In a distant and strange world, where goblin and kikimoras roam the forests, and in the pond instead of crucian carp you can catch merman, the inventive hands of a crazy experimenter provoked an unplanned leap in the evolution of humanity. The foreign branch gave birth to bloodthirsty monsters that filled the surrounding forests and slowly began to include them in the diet of local residents. But the greedy rulers of these states are concerned with completely different problems. They are enthusiastically figuring out how to grab more land from their neighbor and strengthen their power, not paying attention to the terrible things that are happening under the cover of the forest. Who will save the short-sighted public? Who can open the eyes of the powers that be? Of course, the one who needs it least! A simple and unlucky guy is thrown into the thick of a secret enemy by a tricky fate, fed with forbidden information and sent on his way. It would seem that tell the authorities valuable information of a threatening nature and quickly go about your business before they reward you. Not so! For everything to go smoothly, Arseny will have to weave plots against his will, fight fiercely against his enemies, and also fight for his first and true love.
