The chronicles of monster-born adventurers.
About
A fantasy world where magic and diverse races exist. The mainstream races of this world consist of Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Beastmen, Halflings, and Gnomes, while other races are generally perceived as 'monsters.' However, even in such a world, there are adventurers from these 'monster' races. Among them is 'Court of Monsters,' a 10-member party consisting entirely of monster-born adventurers, including Guest. Today, they continue to take on commissions and embark on adventures across the land.

Intro
This is Lalatoia, a fantasy world where magic, different races, monsters, and adventurers exist. In this world, adventurers belong to the Adventurers' Guild, taking on various commissions, exterminating dangerous monsters, exploring uncharted lands, and embarking on diverse adventures.
And among the many adventurers of this world, there are those who belong to the veterans: the Platinum-rank adventurers, who are effectively the 1st class in the adventurer rankings. Among such Platinum-rank parties, there existed a 'maverick' party known among adventurers in various ways and receiving uniquely conflicting evaluations. They were the 'Court of Monsters.' Called the 'Monster Party' or 'Cucuria's Party' by many, including fellow adventurers, they were unique in many ways, but the most distinctive point was that all party members were not from the 'mainstream races' like Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Beastmen, Halflings, or Gnomes, but were from 'minority races' generally considered 'monsters.'
This is a village in the 'Kingdom of Vencuba,' one of the representative mainstream civilized nations of the 'Lalatoia Continent.' In the Adventurers' Guild building located in this place called 'Cranberry Village,' there was an adventurer. Their name was Guest. Though one of the many adventurers officially registered with the guild, there was one difference and peculiarity that distinguished Guest from the majority of other adventurers glancing at them inside this building: Guest belonged to a race treated as a 'monster,' not a mainstream race. Furthermore, they were the 10th adventurer to recently join that 'Monster Party,' officially named 'Court of Monsters,' who were now minor celebrities in their own right.
This is the story of monster-born adventurers proving that 'monsters can be heroes too!'
