Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Yeah, yeah, yeah——

The restless, hoarse cry of the crow woke the black-haired young man from his hazy sleep. He sat up sleepily, yawned, and looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings blankly.

When he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but show a surprised look.

This is where? Why am I here?

He raised his head, looked through the messy branches, looked upward, and saw a gray full moon hanging in the night.

Ah... I understand. Was it because playing "Bloodborne" all night long made my dream look like this?

Bloodborne Curse is really harmful. This must be Hidetaka Miyazaki’s conspiracy.

Not only that, but it was a lucid dream... You really shouldn't stay up all night.

"Germain, Chrollo wants to see you, come with me."

Suddenly, a cold female voice came from the shadows of the dilapidated courtyard.

Um? !

The black-haired young man was startled by the sudden sound, and then he noticed a petite female silhouette in the shadows.

When he heard what the woman said clearly, he pointed at himself blankly.

"You...are calling me?"

Germain? Or another translated name - Geman, isn't it the name of the first hunter in history who held a scythe?

The young woman sighed as if helpless.

"I saw you dozing off just now...are you still awake now? Is there someone else named 'Germain' here?"

The petite girl stepped out of the shadows, revealing her pink, messy single ponytail, and stared at Germain with cold eyes.

"I had a hunch before that you and I would be very incompatible. I didn't expect it to come true so soon."

She turned around, regardless of Germain's reaction, and walked straight towards a long-abandoned bell tower.

As Germain watched the young woman's figure walking further and further away, he suddenly felt a chill coming in and his hair stood on end.

He stretched out his thumb and index finger and twisted his arm hard, feeling real pain.

This doesn't seem to be a dream.

Yes, I came to a different world, not a lucid dream, nor a dream like Bloodborne.

After the first few seconds of surprise, Germain regained his composure.

He is a person who has to deal with emergencies every day. This is his professional quality.

All in all, the top priority now should be to adapt to the development of the situation and not to show any flaws.

This is not a game. You only have one life. You have to think clearly about how to choose.

He slowly stood up from the stone bench where he was sitting, and chased after the young woman in a leisurely manner.

My skin is fair, I'm athletic, and I look like I have a body that's as youthful as ever.

When passing by the flooded glass window, he took another look at his appearance.

He was about twenty-five or six years old, and he was handsome, especially his eyes, which were as pure and black as agate, and as deep and vast as the universe.

He wore a triangular black hat on his head and a simple, old black coat.

The initial image is pretty good.

After his thoughts were opened, pieces of incomplete memory fragments poured into his mind at this time, piecing together Germain's past.

The good news is that this is indeed not a blood curse.

The bad news is, this is the world of Hunter.

A world where you might take your wife out of town, eat hot pot and sing songs, and then be murdered inexplicably.

The boundary between justice and evil here is very thin, and it is completely impossible to view the world from the perspective of modern earthlings.

The original Germain was a man who did evil for his own benefit.

He was born in Meteor Street, and his parents died when he was young, so he made a living by stealing and robbing.

People often ridicule, "Gotham City has a simple folk customs, and Arkham has a lot of talents."

Meteor Street is also worthy of the phrase "talents come out in large numbers".

Just because the living environment here is so harsh that there are many people who admire the weak and the strong, raising Gu has raised a group of extreme villains.

Germain is one of them.

When he was a teenager, in order to survive, he was forced to awaken the "mind" - a mind that can generate and use the life energy "qi" in the world view of a full-time hunter.

Later, Germain's telepathy gradually advanced to "psychiatric ability" - "Realization System·Hunter Badge".

The hunter badge looks like a palm-sized, rusty fragment with very simple abilities.

Germain used the materialized tools to participate in the process of killing a life in a short period of time, and absorbed the remaining "resentment" of this life.

As long as the accumulated "quantity of resentment" reaches a certain level, it can condense the "gift of resentment".

Theoretically speaking, the higher the "quality of resentment", the higher the quality of the gift of condensed resentment.

After awakening his telekinesis ability, Germain used the hunter's badge to slit the throat of a price-monopolizing vendor in Meteor Street.

The resentment of the merchant who died after bleeding was condensed into a "meat saw" - a very handy and deformable killing weapon.

With his saw, Germain rose from the bloody Meteor Street and successfully entered the outside world, becoming a professional killer.

Later, he used this meat saw to chop into pieces the gangster boss who had always despised and exploited him.

The resentment of the gang boss was condensed into a "short-barreled firecracker" - a firecracker that can function as a shotgun.

A saw blade, a fire blunderbuss, and a neat way of doing things made Germain famous among professional killers.

Not long ago, he also killed an intermediary who had been working with him for many years but had evil thoughts and wanted to monopolize the money.

The intermediary's resentment condensed into a "lantern" - a purple light source that is almost never extinguished and also has the ability to teleport to a certain location.

However, when the original person saw the only teleportation location, he permanently refused to use this device.

These are the three tools of resentment that the original German obtained through the Hunter Badge.

In this way, Germain now has an intuitive view.

This telekinesis ability is probably the setting of Bloodborne, mirrored in the world of full-time hunters.

After solving the problem of "who am I", the following questions of "where am I" and "what do I want to do" have become clear.

The key figure is the pink-haired young woman who is taking Germain to the dilapidated clock tower.

Her name is Madge.

Madge’s story starts from 1986 to 1987.

At that time, Germain was still in Meteor Street and had just awakened to Nana.

Also in Meteor Street, several people with a common will have come together to form an organization called the "Phantom Troupe" and to clean up the order in Meteor Street.

The Phantom Troupe is a group of extremely united evil gangs.

Madge is one of the original members of the Phantom Troupe.

The leader of the Phantom Troupe is the "Chrollo" she just mentioned.

They walked out of Meteor Street earlier than Germain, and went on a killing spree in the outside world, robbing, stealing, killing, and committing all kinds of evil.

In 1994, when Germain was a somewhat famous professional killer in the world outside Meteor Street, the Phantom Troupe had already committed even more horrific crimes.

It is said that in order to obtain the "Crimson Eyes of the Kuluta Tribe", which is "one of the seven beauties in the world", they did not hesitate to kill the Kuluta Tribe and then gouge out pairs of eyes.

Such an organization formed by a group of extreme murderers and robbers ushered in its heyday in 1996.

If you are interested in this novel, please take the time to read it during the new book period (that is, the first month after the book is released). Reading it will help the novel get recommended by the website. Thank you!

The novel contains some elements of Bloodborne and Darkest Dungeon, but it is mainly based on the world view of the Hunter. It has been modified to have a single female protagonist and less emotional drama. The current plan is to complete the work in the middle and late stages.
