The world of Monster Rancher was once a highly advanced technology-oriented civilization. The people of this society were especially skilled at genetic engineering. Using gene manipulation, they were able to develop special designer pets and store their genetic information on stone tablets known as "disks", similar to CDs. Using these disks, the artificial animals could be regenerated at special shrines. However, war broke out between the countries of the civilization. The pets were modified into biological weapons, and the war of the monsters began. The great civilizations completely annihilated each other, leaving nothing but relics behind, and much of the world's technology was lost. The monsters were sealed into their mystery disks and hidden away. Centuries later, as humanity was just beginning to rediscover basic technology, people found the artifacts owned by the so-called "Ancients" and attributed divine properties to them. They also discovered the lost disks and shrines. Using these, monsters were again born. Only through the power of the phoenix could the lost discs be revived back into living monsters. Thus started a popular new sport, Monster Breeding. Breeders or trainers raised monsters for battle to compete in nation-wide tournaments to see who could raise the strongest beast.

In a world where power and prophecy dictate fate, Imperial Princess Sveta is sent to a fragile kingdom to marry its crown prince, Claris. However, Claris is enamored with another woman and disregards Sveta entirely, allowing his faction to torment her. But Sveta is no ordinary princess—beneath her delicate façade lies a sharp strategist determined to take control of her destiny. Disgusted by Claris’s incompetence, she sets her sights on the second prince, Sarges, a peace-loving royal with no desire for the throne—or marriage. When Sveta boldly proposes a union, Sarges finds himself unwillingly swept into a treacherous game of power, deception, and unexpected romance. Will this unlikely pair defy expectations and seize the crown, or will their opposing ambitions tear them apart? (Source: Piccoma, translated)

In AD 2045, a group of military cadets, attending the preparatory course of the Central Military Academy, proceeded for training aboard the space station Aries. Within this group of cadets were Ryota Aizawa and his classmates including Sayaka Nagase and Kazuhiko Nitta. The situation went sour when a terrorist group called "Jararacas" took over the station. While the military successfully evacuated the station, Ryota and his group were trapped aboard. Worse still, the boarding assault left most of the military forces dead, effectively leaving the cadets on their own. An unexpected twist occurs when a mysterious virus was released within the station, gaining control of almost all personnel and turning them into mindless creatures in the process. This forced everyone, friend and foe alike, to find a way out of the station alive. (Source: Wikipedia)
