Hello again! How are you doing? I hope that you are doing great. Well, here is the new chapter of this story's restart. For you to know, now Terduno, my Palico's friend on the MHW, will go with Lirlia at some point on the story, but not at the start. Her weapon will be a Heavy Bouwgun, because I felt that it'd be best for her to attack with a range weapon rather than a melee weapon on this story. The HBG is Magda Gemitus II, for I found out that it's the best HBG after Dark Devourer. The armor is going to have the appearance of Deviljho's Beta armor with these skills:

Friendship Skill, which will aid the clones when she heals during missions.

Attack Boost, which will make Lirlia do a bit more of damage against the droids.

Medicine skill, which will make her take 30% more heals from an potion she drinks.

Critical Eye skill, that will give her HBG, going from -5% of affinity, to 0%.

Spread Power Shots, improving her Spread damage.

And those are the skills I want to put on this story. If you want to another one added, tell me which one you'd like and I may put it in the future.

The Iceborne expansion arrives on PC on December more or less, so this story won't take the story of the Iceborne expansion at first, after that, I will see how to put it into the story. Anyway, that is all that I have to say. Hope you enjoy this new chapter, a bit short I must say, but it will be a good restart in my opinion. I Will publish the next chapter in a few days with all the necessary changes. Tell me your thoughts about it when you finished reading :)

Morning came to the Commission of the Guild. The light of the sun on the window was slowly moving to the bed's Hunter that is now currently sleeping. Her name is Lirlia, and she is a Monster Hunter. She started the life of a Hunter when she was 16 years old. At first it was really hard to work as a Hunter, doing many simple quests and payment wasn't always good. After some time of hunting alone, she came across a small kitten during an expedition. She found him very scared and alone. He was also hurt. She remembered her family's death because a storm hit really hard the town she lived in. The Guild did its best to help the survivors, including her. She gently took the kitten and brought him back to her house. When he was healed, he was very grateful and told her that he wanted to go into Hunts with her. They did many quests, improving their equipment and getting harder and harder quests. Until she they faced a really dangerous Elder Dragon: a Kushala Daora. It was during a small expedition to gather some herbs and mushrooms when the Dragon appeared. They tried to fight it, but their armor weren't tought enough to withstand the damge and their weapons didn't do any damage. They were gravely injured. The Guild ensured her recovery and her companion, who she named him Terduno. It was then that she met who would be her mentor and best friend, as well as team, for her future. Werner and his brothers, Richard and Gerhard. The most experienced and badass hunters the world has at that time. They took her and her companion under their wing. Ever since then, they'd been and seen many places and monsters. Went to countless adventures, some of them extremely dangerous. Lirlia quickly became 'The Queen of Monsters' as some would call her. She laughed and shook off those comments, saying that she was just as human and mortal as them. After seven years of Hunting with her mentor, a new mystery arrived: the Elder's migration. Knowing her former mentor when he told her about that, meant adventure and new places to go. She accepted, but were separated when the fifth fleet gave each the boat they were supposed to get into.

When they arrived, it was just adventure after adventure. She always managed to accomplish where many failed. She even beat Nergigante with her Palico alone where her mentor and brothers couldn't. She then found a new Elder Dragon and beat it as well.

Now, it's been two and half years since she arrived, and Lirlia now is the best Hunter the commission has right now. Stirring a bit when she felt the light of the sun hit her eyelids, she moved a bit before opening her eyes. She sighed and stretched before sitting on her bed. She was only wearing her underwear like most hunters do while sleeping. She yawned and then got up to go to her box and put on her Deviljho's Beta armor, thinking on doing a small expedition and put over her back her Heavy Bowgun Magda Gemitus II, filled her bag with all that she always need: potions, honey, herbs, barrel bombs, ammo, etc. and went outside.

When she exited her room, she saw the same thing happening every day: hunters, humans and wyverians going from one place to another, carrying either materials to build something or food to the canteen. As Lirlia walked by Astera, she was greeted by everyone. She went to the canteen and saw her Handler, as usual, eating before a mission comes out. When Lirlia approached, the handler looked to her direction.

"Hi partner! How are you doing?"

"I'm fine, thank you. What abut you?"

The handler smiled wide. "I'm just adding more information to my book about all the things tha can be eaten on the New World." She said, returning writing on her book.

"I see. Well, I will leave in a while to get some resources." Lirlia said.

"Good! Wanna some company?" The handler said, Terduno jumping on her arms.

"Nah... I'm fine on my own, thank you."

"Where you are going to go?"

"I'm going to go to the Elder's Recess. let us hope that a Behemoth doesn't appear while I'm there." Lirlia joked, making the Handler and Terduno laugh.

"Well, if you need help, then just send the SOS Bengal and Werner and his brothers will go in your aid." She said. Lirlia nodded. She told Terduno that he can stay and play with the other Felynes around. Terduno thanked her and Lirlia took off to the Elder's Recess. Once there, she walked to Area 3. Suddenly, her Scoutflies catches something, turning into a purple color.

"Strange... they don't change to purple. Only blue, green, red or yellow." She said aloud. She followed the Scoutflies to area 9. Once there, she got a small sample of a strange mist on the floor.

She touched it with her hands before placing it on a pouch that held the samples. The Scoutflies took another track, and she followed. This time to area 12. She drank an Ice drink before entering the place. There, she found a strange horn. It was black, like the mist, but it also has a strange liquid coming from its insides. She smelled it and watched over it.

'The smell isn't like anything I've ever smelled before. And the horn... it is different... it looks stronger that those of a Diablos... and the texture feels tougher... I can say that it is not from an Ancient Leshen, like Gerald told us... no... this is a new monster... but which one? A new subspecies?' Lirlia thought as she stood, still checking the strange horn.

"I should look for more clues of this new-" an unknown scream was heard into the deepest part of the Volcano.

"I don't recognize that scream." She said to herself. She made her way to where she heard the scream, and found a Teostra-sized monster chewing on something on area 11. Looking just behind the monster, she saw some Gastodon bones on the floor. Looking more closely with her binoculars, she found that the beast has some gastodon's parts on its mouth. She tried to avoid contact, for she knows that she isn't wearing her toughest armor set, but before she could get out from the area, she felt something behind her. Just as she was about to turn around, something hit her hard on her head, making her lose consciousness.
