A True Story (Ancient Greek: Ἀληθῆ διηγήματα, Alēthē diēgēmata; Latin: Vera Historia or Latin: Verae Historiae), also translated as True History, is a long novella or short novel written in the second century AD by the Syrian author Lucian of Samosata. The novel is a satire of outlandish tales that had been reported in ancient sources, particularly those that presented fantastic or mythical events as if they were true. It is Lucian's best-known work.

Hunter Graves has survived the opening days of the Trial, bloodied, hardened, and marked by a new profession: Exiled Tyrant. What began as a struggle for survival has turned into calculated evolution, each fight pushing him to grow faster, stronger, and colder than before. But the deeper he carves into this world, the clearer it becomes that something is wrong. The Trial isn’t following its rules.

The end of the Trial is here... Hunter has never been patient, especially when patience means weakness. While humanity panics, fights against beasts, and tears itself apart under the weight of the Trial, Hunter moves with purpose. One dungeon falls, then a second, a third, a fourth, cleared faster than anyone expected. Every conquest sharpens him. Every boss slain feeds the storm of destructive mana boiling under his skin. His body evolves. His mind calcifies into something ruthless. But speed has a price. The Trial begins to break. And through it all, Hunter fights alone inside the Trial.

Hunter Graves was the kind of man who lived behind glass—quiet, unreadable, a data analyst with a poker face and a life built on routine. But when a storm of lightning ripped his world apart, Hunter and everyone he knew were thrown into the Multiversal System, a brutal trial of survival where humanity was nothing more than raw material to be tested. Accepting the class of a healer, Hunter should have been relegated to the backline. Instead, his cold pragmatism and honed martial skill make him something far more dangerous: a fighter who refuses to die by the rules others set for him.

"Le lune nere" sono i racconti autografi che hanno dato materia narrativa al cinema visionario del regista romano.
