"Hunting Soul: Epic of the Wilderness 1 & 2" is a full-color illustrated story created by Taiwanese illustrator "Chiyou" in collaboration with writer "Ge Ye" (who is responsible for scriptwriting and writing). The two books were published by Gaia Culture in the same year, 2023.

Continuing from the previous workHunting SOUL Vol.1, 2The book's text and image format has been significantly improved this time, with a much higher proportion of textual narrative, making the overall reading experience closer to the fusion style of a "novel × art book".

The books are bound with exposed spines, allowing them to be laid flat for viewing.

The first and second volumes are 192 and 184 pages respectively, unfolding this "post-apocalyptic Eastern magic world" story through nearly a hundred full-color illustrations and the plot of a fantasy novel!

The story blends Eastern mythology with post-apocalyptic science fiction elements, gradually revealing its world-building and time-traveling plot. Coupled with stunning illustrations, it immerses the reader in a magnificent yet desolate fantasy world. ✨

The magic academy collapsed, and a girl fell from the sky—

After that mutation a thousand years ago, humanity survived by relying on sorcery and magic.
However, the catastrophe was not over; the souls of the dead lingered and wandered aimlessly.
When polluted, it mutates into a demonic entity, attacking all things on earth...

Harsh environments alter the ecosystem, as well as social organization and power structures.
The Four Righteous Ones, a sorcery organization with armed forces
The Wasteland Rangers, a bandit force surviving in harsh conditions
The three kingdoms of Gongping, Guangming, and Nanze stand in a tripartite balance of power, with various forces vying for dominance.
However, the fragile balance is about to be altered.

The girl, engulfed in flames, fell to the earth, dispelling the evil spirits that were causing illness in humans.
It also allowed the sky, which had long been covered by foul fog, to briefly reveal a miraculous blue.
It fulfilled the ancient prophecy and became the hope for restarting humanity.

But what greeted her on Earth was not just the planet's inhabitants waiting for a savior.
There are also all sorts of mutated and obstructing spirits, intense battles of spells, and intricate schemes and conspiracies involving alliances and betrayals.
On one side lies the mystery of her own origins, and on the other, a weighty prophecy of salvation.
How will the young girl restart this desolate and chaotic human world?

A thousand years after the apocalypse, miasma ravaged the land.
They possessed the power of sorcery and an ancient civilization, and thus controlled the human world.
