There is a big misfortune in the Polesie kingdom - the court of King Theophan was attacked in broad daylight by a bloodsucker shriga and brutally killed the ruler's youngest daughter. The hunter Bogumil, a sorcerer from the Gray Castle, sets out on the road after the filthy creature, where they teach the outlandish witchcraft craft to village children, orphans and useless bastards adopted by local nobles. The sorcerer goes on the hunt with a light heart - the head of a ghoul will double the price of services, and then the doors to the world of rich and arrogant gentlemen will open for him. He is looking for fame, money and, of course, the love of beauties of all stripes and shapes. What will he find? We'll see. This story is about how no matter how scary the monsters are, they still can't outdo humans. And about how one chance meeting can help a lost soul find the path to itself. The story was written as part of an online marathon on The Witcher. But from The Witcher there is only an analogue of the medieval Polish kingdom and a hero - a monster hunter. The work is completely independent.
