Sapphire pov
Not long before Jack got the notification she had died.
Unknown base location
There is a girl with metal around her arms and slightly mangled legs that are healing. The metal forced her to be strapped to a table. she has white hair that reaches a bit below the shoulder blades/long hair. white fox ears, one being shorter than the other, sharp ice-blue eyes with a hateful glare, a cut on her right cheek, a fire tattoo on her left side and a lightning tattoo on her right side with both tattoos moving like the elements are alive.
Her fingernails extended like claws, within her mouth, sharper than normal canines, sadly she can't use them, as she's been gagged. Her stomach is being exposed as it seems to be healing extremely quickly, and what would have been a fluffy fox tail, is poorly managed and missing hair.
Person in a lab coat" Well animal, I have to say I am slightly impressed that you stayed sane, well relatively, especially after turning feral."
"Mmm mmm mmm. Mmmm"
"Oh right, totally forgot you were gagged, here you go, I'll allow you to speak, foul creature.
" how's your finger."
" ha, keep acting like that animal, you will just get what you deserve."
"Animal, I don't know how you have so much hope, or why you resist. You're still chained up, getting us money and being an amazing test subject and I have to say, even for a lowlife animal, not looking too bad, good hips, legs, chest, and ass, they all developed wonderfully thanks to us, only downsides are all the scars and your hateful personality other than that, perfect."
The scientist is waving his hand around Sapphire's face.
Crunch
"FUUUUUUUUUUCK!"
blood falls down his once good hand.
"Get David some bandages then send him back in." (Not the same David from the lion family.)
After a couple of minutes, David comes back with a bandage over his lost fingers.
"You know girl, I'm so gonna have fun with you soon."
Unknown voice "David, enough, you know she is not old enough for that, and the boss forbids that with this subject, anyway give the girl the meal, she'll need it. "
" fine, here animal, you know the drill. Eat this and I won't need to force-feed you again."
The scientist called David presents Sapphire with a large amount of meat and mana cores, with no way out sapphire just eats what is put in front of her, as it's just humiliating to be force-fed at her age.
{ title evolved to intermediate level, title name changed to intermediate monster}
{your stats have increased}
{you can now attempt to awaken your bloodline because of the stressful environment you are in, if you do you will be forced to do a prestige class change.}
as this pops up sapphire then attempts to lunge at David. The metal around her hand and feet start to creek and morph, " great, David, tranquillizer her again"
David turns around and picks up the tranquillizer and shoots Sapphire with it, only to piss Sapphire off more, the metal bars start to split, Sapphire pushing the metal restrainers to their limit and past it as the first one breaks around her leg, David backs up, fear showing on his face, as her foot is free, ice leaks uncontrollably from her foot, freezing the ground and seemingly extending the claws on her feet, turning them into ice, going from there 2 inches of length to 4 inches, sapphire has anger in her eyes, and a sadistic grin appearing on her face, her left hand is set free and the same thing happens, ice starts uncontrollably spreading from her hands, freezing part of the table her hand touches while also turning her claws into ice.
the ice-enhanced claw extending to around 5 inches, the ice soon coming to a stop.
" sa stay back, m m monster stay back" David screams.
Sapphire slashes at David and as she does, ice shoots from her hand and slashes David's face, then both her other leg and hand get free, freezing over and extending her claws on those hands and feet to the same length as the others.
Sapphire, now set free, sapphire pounces on David, landing on top of him, David screams in pain as the ice and cold released from Sapphire is too much for him and his skin cracks, sapphire seeing this, picks one of her claws and slowly inserts it in between David's ribs.
Sapphire Pulls down slowly, forcing that rib to fracture attempting to cause as much pain as possible.
Thud,
thud,
thud.
Hearing heavy footprints, sapphire turns around and is smashed with a hammer straight into the gut, the force behind the hammer sends Sapphire flying across the room and into the wall.
"Get Professor David out and distract the girl until the tranquillizer kicks in."
Unknown in heavy armour" understood, how rough can I be."
" The girl has healing properties, be as rough as you want."
The armoured figure then looks towards where Sapphire was sent, seeing a dust/smoke screen he decides to walk towards it, the reason, so Sapphire does not have time to recover.
The dust screen is covering sapphire from view, as the armour figure approaches "Didn't you say something about making us pay at one point, yet you can't even take a single shot from me, wow what a letdown."
…
sapphire then jumps out of the smoke, causing the armoured figure to move back, well they should of, but it appears his feet are encased in ice. As the armoured figure cannot move he instead puts his war hammer handle in between himself and Sapphire, stopping Sapphire in her tracks.
Sapphire who is hanging onto the war hammer handle uses her clawed feet and grabs the chest of the armoured figure, ripping into it.
The armoured figure then throws his hammer getting rid of sapphire for now, he then focuses on breaking the ice around his feet.
"Phwwht" the armoured figure looked towards the whistle sound, only to see his hammer flying at him and hitting him in the face.
Sapphire then started to wobbly walk over, as the muscles in her arms wriggled and shifted back into the right positions, arriving at the armoured figure and lifting his helmet slightly, just enough for her to see his throat and slash it.
As Sapphire walks towards the door her vision gets worse and worse until she blacks out.
{would you like to attempt the bloodline awakening?}
Attempting to awaken bloodline

Inside Sapphires mind
{the prestige class change is worn in a mental area, not a physical one so make sure you're in a safe environment as you will be unconscious and nothing will be able to wake you unless you fail or complete the class change.}
Sapphire" Great, so they gonna continue to do things, fantastic. I thought I'd be able to get away by using this."
"So what is the goal?"
{clear mental dungeon}
After seeing this sapphire starts to walk forward.
Sapphire seems to be in a giant Castle creation, with fancy armour along the walls, a green carpet, a nice brick floor and ceiling and pictures of individuals in all kinds of different armour, no face is shown.
The armour in the picture is arranged from medieval, to modern to futuristic, some have many runes carved into them, while others have unknown symbols stuck onto the armour, but all have some kind of symbol on the side of the helmet, and some have a larger version on said symbol as well, the symbol is of the slayer.
As Sapphire walks through the empty halls a a voice can be heard throughout the hallway.
"A new member has arrived, are you worthy of the title slayer?"
…
…
"Yes?"
"You have accepted the challenge, it will now start."
As this is said, the armour along the walls comes alive
All wielding different types of weapons, some long swords, mace's, bows, and crossbows. There seem to be around 20 living armour most charging towards Sapphire, making a large amount of noise, while the bowmen seem to be holding back and waiting.
Sapphire, being impatient, charges forward, brandishing her frozen claws. She meets up with one of the first living armours, she slashes it, only to leave some scratch marks on its chest plate.
"Stupid animal, you use blunt force for armour not slashing, you know this." sapphire thinks to herself
She then changes one from frozen claws, to frozen fists.
She jumps back avoiding a sword slash, and moves her head to the left, an arrow skims past her cheek.
Sapphire delivers a hood to one of the living armoire sides, causing it to bend inwards, and go back a small distance, allowing her to jump up into the air, and hammer slam into one of the living armoire heads, smashing it into pieces.
A barrage of arrows is shot towards Sapphire. She did her best to avoid being as messy as possible but she did get hit in multiple areas, some arrows even logging themselves into Sapphire's arms.
Sapphire, hesitated slightly before ripping the arrows out, blood dripping from her arms, the wounds healing, but slowly.
She smashes her fist into another loving armour that is close by, destroying it, and doing the same to another one. Unfortunately, she had to dodge a longsword swing to her head and step back, pulling off a cross hook, but the victim of the blow was able to block it with their sword.
This fight lasts for around 10 minutes, sustaining injuries throughout the encounter, but is able to deal with all the living armour eventually.
Sapphire, exhausted after fighting for so long with no break sits down, and starts to lick some of the injuries, but soon stops after realizing what she is doing, slightly confused by her own actions.
"The first challenge has been completed, you have 10 minutes to recover then the next chalking will arrive." the voice booms throughout the hallway.
Sapphire just sighs, waiting for her injuries to recover.
After 10 minutes the environment changes, now Sapphire appears to be outside a large castle, with a large garden, the sky is a nice clear blue, the sun is seemingly high in the sky, and nice chirping sounds can be heard.
While Sapphire is looking around a person in heavy armour seemingly teleports right in front of her, sapphire panicked and does her best attempt at a roundhouse kick.
Only for the kick to be caught by the armoured man.
"I'm not here to fight, this is a test to see what quality to possess, for the title of slayer."
"Too bad I'm here to fight."
"If you say so."
Sapphire enhances her claws, and charges toward the armoured man.
Slashing at the weak points within his armour, this being his armpits or the back of his knees.
Sadly she is unable to get a solid hit in, with one of her kicks missing the armoured figure then grabs her extended leg, throws her across the garden, and pulls out a glowing hammer.
"Ok, girl, you seem to have some quality, and what is more impressive is that you don't have what most slayers do, a transcended Physiology, this allows them access to almost all their powers, which you don't have either, so its ferry impressive that your standing undress this pressure right now.
As we go back to Sapphore there seems to be this in is able force acting on her, almost like it's affecting the gravity around her, every with she uses her spiritual pressure it's not doing anything to help relieve her of it.
"I have to say, girl, very impressive, you're even trying to counter it, so, what do you say, I'll stop the pressure along as you stop trying to attack so we can have a proper talk.
"No."
In seemingly affected the pressure then increases more, causing Sapphire to hit the ground, unable to support herself.
"… just stop, you've passed."
The armoured man gets ignored and the pressure increases
…
"Well, seems your instincts told you right, girl, good job on not listening, and amazing job on not going unconscious, seems you really will make a good slayer with that burning rage."
"Now let's release this pressure so you can actually stand a chance."
The pressure suddenly lifts, and Sapphire launches towards the armoured man like she was shot of springs, the armoured man dodges with ease and, after dodging his starts to summon what looks like a giant red hammer.
"Don't worry it's just a replica, don't want to obliterate a potential slayer."
As he slams it down, causing a massive shock wave, shooting dirt everywhere.
Sapphire looks shocked at the impact and is thankful she was able to dodge out of the way.
As he se, s to be quite slow at living the hammer up, she once again charged towards the armoured man only for him to slam the handlebar in her face.
This sends Sapphire staggering back a bit dazed and holding her nose.
She once again charged towards him, and he this time swung the hammer sideways, hitting Sapphire, thankful sapphire semi-planned for this and instead of getting hit, she quickly made an ice sculpture in front of her and pushed off it, going into the air, avoiding the strike.
She gets into a diving pose, heading straight for the Armpired man, seeing this instead of dodging, he goes on the offensive and jumps towards her branding his weapons.
The armoured man swings his hammer at Sapphire, who just barely avoids it, as she does this she grabs onto the handlebar once more and does a piercing strike with her claws.
Surprisingly she pierced his armour, her claws going through the man's heart.
The armoured man then hugs Sapphire
"Have this gift from an old ancestor sapphire, your parent would be proud of you for not falling into despair, they hope you can find someone someday to help with your burden."
"Find your friend, he still hasn't given up and is looking for you."
As the armoured man disappears, sapphire gets a bunch of notifications
"{you have passed the job change trials, you are now a newly awakened slayer.}
{you are the only slayer within your universe, you will be granted a base, some basic weapons, and some extra bonuses to help you along your journey.}
{ skills acquired}
{Doom Slayer tracks}
{Transcendent Physiology}
{Despite fighting with demons for centuries, the Doom Marine did not grow old or lose any of his strengths; he also no longer needs food, drink, or even rest, becoming something akin to an immortal. Gain eternal youth at 20, allows the body to gain the slayer's skills}
{error, invader, invader, shutting down mental dungeon being taken to the invader, inner world.}
(the rest of the skills I will put at the end so it doesn't take up the word count for this chapter :) )
The castle then breaks down, shattering into thousands of pieces like shattered glass, and sapphire is surrounded by darkness for a couple of seconds.
All of a sudden it seems the darkness starts to shake as water fills the ground, slowly filling up until around a good 4 inches deep then stops, trees explode out of the water, the sky becomes cracked and bits see, sly fall into the water, but no splash is heard, the trees are covered in light snow.
A sudden wind comes out of nowhere as the snow on the trees blows all around Sapphire, making a snowstorm.
This happens for a good 10 seconds until it slows down, and as the snowstorm slows down, there is now a fully frozen Forest in front of her, a mix of snowy ground and water, and a small village can be seen in the distance.
In between the trees something 8s coming toward Sapphire at impossibly fast speeds.
Sapphire is unable to react as she is slammed against and through a bunch of trees, causing immense damage to her.
Before she can get up something heavy pressing itself against her back.
"Get your fat fuck off me."
The unseen creature, complies, lifting its foot of sapphire, only to rap its tail around her, making it so she cannot move.
What Sapphire sees in front of her is a 10 by 10 ft quadrupedal, large bone white creature now stands, with a hole in the chest, and a Basic white mask with black markings around the eyes that blend in with the black sclera and piercing yellow eyes.
The black marking turns into lines that go up the mask, to the top of its head and towards the tips of the ears, painting the tips that would have been bone white a pitch black, the lower jaw and upper jaw have pure white serrated teeth that show a clear separation between the lower and upper jaw.
A long thick tail that would sway with power.
As it holds Sapphire with its tail, it ups one of its huge claws, next to her shoulder, and tears at it taking a piece off, this now ripped shoulder in the creature's claws slowly gets absorbed into the creature.
Sapphire screams in pain, and this happens over and over again until only half her body remains.
The creatures goes to do this once more, only to stop. As it looks at Sapphire, it starts to shift and morph in front of her
As starts to look like an extremely pale version of Sapphire, but with black and yellow eyes.
White Sapphire" I have to say, you are way more unique than I thought fox, I just thought you'd be a good snack to recharge, but it seems you have so, much more you can offer, so, I'll make a deal, well I say the deal, you have no say, instead of slowly consuming you, well join forces, you have some neat powers I would like to test out, but I can't seem to get them, so I need you alive to use the powers, so for us both to win here, ill be joining you, becoming a part of you, this will be painful though, so have fun." A smug smile appears on its face.
"Also, it's nice to meet you again, Sapphire." it then starts to laugh maniacally
"We are gonna have so much fun soon, I'll even let you watch."
What happened when Sapphire was unconscious outside the mind.
Sapphire has been moved to another room, in this room there is a table with a syringe with an unknown white liquid within it, a plain floor and walls, a window next to a metal door and sapphire once again strapped to a table.
Splash, a wet-faced sapphire remains unconscious, but instead of David attempting to wake her up, the pestilence is now standing there with the syringe in his hand.
"Well seems like she isn't waking up, she's alive though, that's all that matters."
Pestilence starts to talk to the unconscious Sapphire.
"girl, I have to say you did more damage than I thought you would here but oh well, this will be the last thing we will be using on you, let's hope this works, as you are the last one after all. Now let's see her stats first shall we."
He pulls out an old scroll and points it towards Sapphire.

(some skills and thing have been left out on purpose)
(Sapphire has had a couple of stat increases from Jack, and some increases from some skills, which will be shown by how much in a later chapter)
Pestilence without warning injects the white liquid into sapphire.
" here hoping Project HOLLOW is a success, then we can control a new monster" pestilence says with an upbeat voice.
For a couple of minutes, nothing happens, sapphire, body seems doesn't react and just stays motionless .
David" Why is nothing happening boss, I thought there he was a bit more screaming, or well anything."
" Oh, don't panic David, it just takes some time maybe just a couple more seconds, it's most likely just getting used to her body."
"What? That makes no sense."
AHHHHHHHHH! Sapphire suddenly screams in pain as her body attempts to convulse, not long after a white substance suddenly comes out of her mouth, ears, eyes, and mouth, spilling everywhere, endlessly.
David " Now that's more like it, haven't heard her scream like that for a while."
what they don't see is that this white substance is attacking her soul, trying to rip her soul out and replace it, this happens for a couple of minutes when eventually Sapphire stops screaming, lying lifeless on the table.
"Well that was a disappointment, I will take my leave now, please clean this mess up David and make sure not to get any of that substance on you please, it will not end well for you."
A minute or so later David came back into the room, with a bloodied but bandaged face and chest, along with a container for the white substance.
As he walks towards Sapphire he is mumbling most of his words. He grabs a syringe and turns around, only to see something on sapphire that was not there before, a whole, a whole right above a chest.
as he looks closer he sees that it goes all the way through, but for some reason, he can't see the rib cage or anything else while looking through the hole.
"It's what you deserve animal, I just wish you screamed more before dying. "
David takes his time cleaning up as he is talking to the other scientists who entered. They were curious about what pestilence was doing, and when they came in they saw Sapphire's body covered in a white substance and a whole in her chest, one of the scientists suddenly spoke up
" somethings not right, her body, it shouldn't be doing that right."
When they all go and look at Sapphire's body, her body is jolting forward, twisting, a horrid snapping can be heard as the white substance starts covering her body more and more, taking over her body, and around Sapphire face, it starts to harden, any of the substance Daved collected smashes the container and syringe, going back to Sapphire's body.
" Hay open the door… NOW!" Then a horrific screech comes from the direction of Sapphire's body, a mix of a monster and sapphire screams put together, the screech is deafening, as it pops some of the scientist's eardrum.
Where Sapphire's body once was, a large bone white creature now stands, with a hole in the chest, and a Basic white mask with black markings around the eyes that blend in with the black sclera and piercing yellow eyes.
The black marking turns into lines that go up the mask, to the top of its head and towards the tips of the ears, painting the tips that would have been bone white a pitch black, the lower jaw and upper jaw have pure white serrated teeth that show a clear separation between the lower and upper jaw.
A long thick tail that sways with power, it's on all fours, almost like a large fox except for the large and long claws at the end of the paws.
It has a fire tattoo on its left front leg and a lightning tattoo on its front right leg, which move around like they are alive, this creature stands at around 10ft tall and 10ft long.
This unknown creature eyes the scientists, watching, the scientists can feel its gaze, like it's looking right at their soul, a static thum( the sonido from bleach sound effect) can be heard as the massive creature disappears from the spot, and a deafening silence fills the room.
thud.
all the scientists look towards the noise, one of the female scientist's arms is on the floor, and that white creature is standing behind her, it happens so fast that the female scientist hasn't even registered her arm being cut off… a couple of seconds later just as she opens her mouth to scream, she is crushed by the claws of this creature, as the rest of the scientists look at the creature all of them could swear it was smiling with its eyes.
Scientists 1 "What do we do, how do we get out."
Scientists 2 " Help me, please, someone… I'm going to die." ( I hope someone gets this reference, a hint, it's from a Spiderman thing.)
Scientist 3 we need to somehow get to the door."
number 3 then decided in their mind what they needed to do, he slowly moved forward.
" I have a plan, I just need you to follow me, I will execute a way for us to get out, I need to count to 5 though."
" Ok"
"1… 2… 3…4…"
and number 3 shoves number 2 right at this white creature, hoping to distract it as number 3 heads towards the door. Number 2 falls face first, directly in front of the creature, they just close their eyes and wait for death… but he just heard the door open, so he looks and sees 3 and 1 going out the door not looking back, the creature just watches then leaves, number 2 then decides to quickly get up and go through the door as well.
The creature just watches them leave with the same smiling eyes, only to disappear with a static thum only after a minute has passed.

Gained slayers strength 1/100
The Slayer´s strength allows them to lift heavy objects and throw them on great distances without effort, smash through walls, and carry a great amount of various heavy weapons without tiring. Their might is sufficient to grapple and overpower superhumanly strong demons in hand-to-hand combat and perform visceral "Glory Kills" to ensure their complete destruction. ( 25% increase to strength when this levels up watch time)
gained slayer endurance and Stamina1/100
being able to endure both the cold and heat of Hell, is capable of enduring the hits that the Demons can land even of the strongest one as well as falls from great heights which could kill wearer-class demons unfazed.

The most unique thing about the Doom Slayer is their ability to grow stronger and become even more tenacious with every demon they kill. This is the result of Samur Maykr giving the Slayer the ability to absorb the souls of those they killed.
gained Indomitable Rage
The defining proponent of the Slayer's persona is their undying fury aimed against the forces of Doom. their rage is such that it was enough to keep them alive and propel them forward across worlds & time for the better part of an eternity after they sealed themselves in Hell to fight off its accursed denizens. The intense hatred they feel towards the demons and all their affiliates has given them insurmountable strength to wade through waves upon waves of monstrous fiends and apparitions

The Slayer possesses a tremendous amount of willpower and determination that cannot be weakened. No matter the situation, opponents or obstacles they push forward, refusing to give up regardless of what happened. Their determination to wipe out demons and protect humanity has remained with them constantly for years.
