Gta Rp Hitman

Ein was a hitman on hire. A killer, a shadow, a death with insomnia, if you may. He had witnessed countless pairs of eyes dim as the light of life faded, leaving nothing but vile hollowness. Needless to say, the sight of a soul popping out of the dead body was a first. And it wasn't just any soul. It was the dead heir of Byers Holdings, the same guy he killed with his own hands. Turns out the rich boy Adriel had a horribly irritating and loud soul, but worst of it all - impossible to get rid of. Who would have thought that killing on a blue moon night could lead to being haunted?

"You want him dead? Then pay up. I don’t kill for free." Sam never knew mercy. Never felt guilty. That’s why he was the world’s deadliest hitman—a bullet in the dark, a phantom under Crimson Moon. No one escaped him. No one lived to tell the tale. Until the day he vanished. A mission gone wrong. A helicopter spiraling into flames. The deafening roar of an explosion. And then—silence. When Sam opened his eyes, the burning wreckage was gone. The city lights, the familiar streets—gone. Instead, he saw towering castles. Creatures from myths. Magic rippling through the air.

Once, this realm teetered on the edge of annihilation until mortals overthrew the Demon King’s tyrannical reign. But a thousand years of “peace” have left Kirath fractured—its magic withering, its lands plagued by cataclysms, its people rotting from complacency. The solution? Resurrect the demons. And they’ve chosen Alan, a man who traded in death, to wear the crown. To survive, Alan must wield the **Oblivion Pact**, a parasitic system that rewards carnage with unholy power. Kill to summon ★Soulrenders★—demonic warriors bound to his will. Conquer to rebuild. Rule to channel the chaotic energy that once made demons the world’s necessary evil. But Kirath’s fractured kingdoms see only a monster, not a savior. Holy knights hunt him as a blasphemy. Fallen heroes, drunk on their ancestors’ glory, vow to finish what their forebears started. As Alan battles to resurrect a demonic legacy he doesn’t believe in. The demons were not mere oppressors—they were shackles binding a far older terror. Now, with their power waning, that ancient hunger stirs. To save Kirath, Alan must become the Demon King the world fears… or watch it drown in the hubris of its own “victory.”

(This is the first thing I'm writing so please don't be too harsh with the constructive criticism.) Ths follows a fan of the Naruto shippuden anime when he finds a video on YouTube about interesting game about the anime, the game was a walk through of the entire Naruto shippuden anime but not from the perspective of the canonical characters but a original player character allowing nearly limitless RP potential for the player and that the game is currently on early access. After seeing the video he told his friends and sent them the link only for them to find a rickroll, seeing the responses from his friends he downloaded the game to show them the game, seeing the download time he drew what he wanted his character to look like and went to sleep waiting for it to finish downloading. When our protagonist woke up from his slumber he realized that he was in a terrible situation when he saw a shrouded figure looming over him with red eyes and a blade and at that point he knew that his life would either end or it would never be the same ever again. (I own none of the Naruto shippuden characters that will be in this novel as this is in no way supplementaly related to the story as this is a fan made piece of media.)

The universe is a sentient, gambling-addicted entity that periodically holds cosmic death games where civilizations bet their continued existence. Earth was supposed to participate, but someone accidentally deleted humanity’s invitation. Now, the universe’s enforcer—a cocky, interdimensional debt collector named Lux—arrives to wipe out Earth for its "no-show." Enter Veyron Cain, a degenerate gambler and disgraced ex-quantum physicist, who drunkenly challenges the universe itself to a high-stakes game in Earth's defense. The prize? If he wins, Earth survives and gets one cosmic wish. If he loses, humanity gets erased retroactively—as if it never existed.

Veyron, Lux, and twelve of the most dangerous, absurd beings across the multiverse, including a time-traveling hitman, a planet-sized con artist, and a demon who only speaks in spoilers. Reality bends with each round. One moment, Veyron is playing blackjack on Saturn’s rings, the next, he’s in a haunted casino where the cards bleed when they lie.

“They're not dead,” “They are alive… watching and laughing from the shadows as we all fall into our coffins.” The Domains had grown weaker, and the Gate of Oblivion had finally collapsed, weaving ancient terrors back into existence. Ripped from their reality, three strangers were plunged into a nightmarish dimension where death was permanent, and survival was an illusion. Every full moon, the Otherworlders were judged with simple but merciless rules—succeed and walk further in hell, fail and be annihilated. ___ Elias Valor, a ruthless hitman for a local mafia, was no stranger to violence, but the dreads of this dimension pushed him beyond insanity as he stumbled against two other anomalies—Lysandra, a sinister healer, and Malachi, a mad prophet. With each mission, they descended deeper into a world where their deadly and mystic skills were both a weapon and a curse. Haunted by their past sins and the forgotten horrors of the dimension, they had to navigate brutal landscapes where survival came at a price too steep to pay. As the lines between reality and nightmare blurred, they faced a dark truth: the greatest threat might not be the dimension, but the darkness they once were. “The clock has stopped—but the true game has not even started.”
