The game opens with Milly's kidnapping by a naughty creature called [[Warubou]], after which a polite monster called [[Watabou]] appears and explains the situation to the shocked lad, spiriting Terry off to GreatTree and starting his quest to rescue his sister. | Whereas the main series focuses on the adventures of a hero rising up against the forces of darkness, ''DQM'' revolves around what it means to be a [[Monster Master]] and is the much smaller-scale story of two little siblings, Terry and Milly, when they were just small children.
