Chapter 3 - Letting Go

"Ummm System what the f just happened."

"I Love you system"

<...>

"..."

"Ok then since I have a lot of new items please system give me a list with a small description."

-Slayer of Malebolge Blood Sample has been consumed to give the host traits of the bloodline. The Slayer of Malebolge was a human that was sent to hell to repent for his crimes. He was innocent of said crimes but no one believed him so he drove himself mad trying to escape Hell. He eventually started to slaughter everything he could and in doing so he developed a revival technique which gave him 7 lives but the downside was that he would forever be tied to hell. With barely any sanity and no hope remaining the Slayer performed the ritual and became an undying slaughter of Hell until he was finally cornered and killed 7 times.

Due to Consumption of the bloodline, the host has gained the ability of having 7 lives. When the host dies he will be revived in the nearest body of water or liquid equivalent. The lives of the host recharge overtime but once the host runs out of lives they will be wiped from existence. Additional Reward of consuming the bloodline is higher starting stats and the title 'Unrelenting'.

-Title 'Unrelenting'

When the host is on his last legs this skill gives the host the ability to keep going. The host will never stop fighting unless he is killed.

-Title 'Vampire Predator'

Natural Predator of Vampires. Gives off an Aura that will make any normal vampire shiver. Host blood is toxic to the vampire race.

-Hunter Clothes

Clothes from another world made from the flesh of a Corrupt God. The more blood that touches the clothes the stronger it becomes. Clothes have a self repair and automatic cleaning feature.

-Kokusho&Yosei Weapons of Prophecy

Kokusho(Blunderbuss) and Yosei(Revolver) are weapons from another world said to bring the timeless storm that will cast endless darkness upon the world. Made from the Flesh and Bone of an Unknown Being. The Weapons seek death to grow stronger.

- Soul Ability:Soul Devouring Black Flame

An all consuming Flame that can devour reality itself. Flame is inextinguishable and can only be removed by the host.

-Soul Weapon:Blade of Equilibrium

A Straight Sword that represents balance. Nothing can be greater than the sword as it makes everything equal.

-Special Skill: Envy

Grants the ability to steal a skill from the defeated enemies the host thinks are strong. Doesn't work on those the Host believes are inferior.

'Maybe the world does truly care for my dream.'

'I have no idea how to feel, I mean how would a normal person feel if they were given all of this power. This is a chance for myself I won't end up as that hopeless man again.'

"System, are my parents dead in this timeline?"

"How?"

"No, I'm fine."

In truth, Dante knew deep down that his family was still dead and he had pretty much guessed what happened to them but he needed to remember. Remember the feeling of rage he had forgotten long ago. Remember his powerlessness as he family was mutilated Infront of him. Most importantly he needed to remember his purpose.

"What's the point?"

'Revenge or Justice does not matter now. In a world where tyrants rule, strength is all that matters. Thinking eradicating vampires would cure the world, I was naïve and short sighted. The only way happiness can be found now is through strength. I spent so long fighting for the dead that I never once cared about what I wanted so from this point forward no more hero act, no more revenge crazed lunatic act either. I am reborn anew and will not waste this chance.'

Dante got up from the sandy beach as the sun beamed upon his face. Looking out to the blue sea that is stained black. Dante stared for moment

"Mother, Father, Ava, Lea, Sam.... I survived... I know that I may not have lived up to what was expected of me and I realize that I'm a failure but.... I will become someone you guys would have been proud of. I will become the strongest in the world….. For now I must say goodbye. Maybe we'll meet again if there is such a thing as the afterlife."

Dante turned away from the sea and began to walk up the beach towards the ruins of an unknown city. Tears streamed down his face as his mind was in chaos.

'Did I do the right thing? Should I have pursued revenge and let it consume me? Should I have hunted every vampire to the ends of the earth in the name of cleansing the world? Am I right for forsaking my long awaited revenge on a chance of happiness?'

"Haha, I guess it's just too hard to move on. I'll try though…..I'll try"

'System equip all weapons and clothes'

A bright light surrounded Dante's body as the hunter clothes began to slowly manifest around his body. The clothes resembled something from the Victorian era but that didn't bother Dante. Two weapons also manifested on Dante's hips. On his right appeared Yosei, a white revolver etched with strange symbols. On his left appeared Kokusho, a black blunderbuss etched with the same strange symbols. With the new outfit Dante finally appeared to fit the title Hunter.

Unknown to Dante, the outfit and weapons radiated a power that would drive any weak minded being mad.

'Badass'
