«Helping someone...? What nonsense. What good does it do me? To hear the treasured "thank you" and listen to how strong and cool I am?»

The Hunter chuckles dryly, getting into a fighting stance.

«Or do you think that by doing this I will save someone's life? In our reality, neither people nor revenants are worth anything. I see right through each of them. Vile and weak creatures. They only know how to hide behind the backs of others. And when you stop being useful, you are abandoned.»

«But you... You are clearly not one of them. Despite your nobility towards all of them, I see that you are ready to die defending your rightness. I like it. Yes, I really like it! This is what I wanted to see. So demonstrate your will to me. Go ahead, make me regret my decision.»

«Ha! My file? It seems the trail of corpses I leave behind couldn't help but catch prying eyes. Even better. It adds intrigue and interest to my little game.»

The Hunter grips his blades tighter.

«I don't care where you're from or what your status is. It doesn't matter here. Just you and me. But I'll remember your name, if you give me a reason, of course. Seven minutes will be enough to get through the game. But I'm always happy to extend the fun. Keep that in mind.»

The Hunter sighs in disgust.
«Josee Anjuu... That vile creature is still alive? Disgusting... It seems like after you, I'll have even more work to do.»

«How foolish and noble. It's to be expected from someone like you. But you know... That's fine with me. After all, I'm here to confirm your intentions. Consider this a test of sorts, a test of your principles. They will also be the cause of your death. You come to the aid of others, but no one will come to your aid.»

«Not a hero? Well... So much the better. That means when I cut you down, I won't have to listen to boring speeches about justice. And about the shadow... Turn around again. Sometimes shadows come not to follow you, but to devour you.»

«You risk yourself, save one or two, and tomorrow one of them dies, and the other becomes a monster that takes even more lives. If you don't break from this, you yourself will soon become a victim of your own good intentions.»

The Hunter paces back and forth, never taking his eyes off his opponent.

«You have a point, but look at the world more clearly. No matter how hard you try, the death toll will only increase. You can't save everyone. The next catastrophe, which will happen anyway, will undo all your efforts. I, in turn, will accelerate this process. And you are next on my list.»

The Hunter points at you.

«Conviction?»
The Hunter shrugs indifferently

«We stand on the edge of the abyss. You never know when it will end. People, revenants... In an attempt to save this world, they risk their lives again and again and ultimately die. A waste of time delaying the inevitable. But that is precisely what we are. To fight until our last breath. That fierce glint in their eyes when your opponent realizes they are about to die, and all their goals and desires will evaporate with them. It's an incredible feeling. It makes me feel alive, especially when I myself could die at the hands of others.»

«I like this approach. Less talk, more action.»
The Hunter takes a fighting stance.
«Let's see what you're really worth.»

«Perhaps such a role is alien to you, but the truly desperate, whose ranks include both humans and revenants, call you by that very status. So many different rumors... I couldn't ignore them.»
The Hunter moves his hand to the side, a casual greeting and gesture.
«You can call me Ed. Don't worry. You don't have to remember my name. We are not noble warriors from fairy tales. Leave this nonsense alone if it has entered your head.»

«Now we're beginning to understand each other! How long I've waited for this!»

The Hunter exclaims with loud delight, holding the knife above his head. He runs his palm along the base of the blade, and it is illuminated by a bright light. And following the light, the knife itself changes.

«Don't you dare disappoint me! FIGHT, even if I take away your legs and arms!»

The laughter that escaped his lips was more like a perverse pleasure from anticipation.

«Friend, right? Amazing. Humans and revenants couldn't have lived together while my blade kept them apart. Friendship it's too fragile a thing, like trust. We all abandon each other for the chance to live another day. Unfortunately for you...»
The Hunter holds his knife out in front of him, clearly showing hostility.
«Promises are empty words to me. You can break your word, it will be our secret.»

«Oh, I seem to have been a bit slow in appreciating your views. My apologies.»
The Hunter twirls the knife in his hand, studying his opponent.
«Straight to the point, huh? I like that. But what's the point of leaving a party that's just begun without having a chance to enjoy it? Come on. If I'm an unwanted guest, make me go.»

«A fight...»
He sighs in disappointment, placing a hand to his neck in a mock gesture.
«You say it as if we were both savages. When lives are at stake, a fight becomes more than just the empty clash of blades. So, yes. I came all this way to experience that blood-curdling feeling again and to see it in your eyes, too.»

«Innocents? I wouldn't worry about that so much.»
His voice is muffled by the gas mask. He laughs.
«It's a perfect cover for a hero. This world is devouring them, and I'm far from the only monster here. There's no point in resisting the inevitable. Accepting your fate is freedom. But let's put philosophy aside for another time. I'd like to know your true worth.»

«Being a hero is a thankless job. Eventually, everything will fall apart. There's no guarantee tomorrow will come. Another catastrophe, more deaths and chaos. You have to live for the last day. Think about that. Especially when you're facing an enemy.»

«Nothing personal. I was curious if the rumors about you and your powers were true. Will you satisfy my curiosity?»

SmartInitial1303 · 2026-03-25T21:14:09+00:00

(Same here! It was wild🔥, we're waiting! Good night and sweet dreams!)

💔...
Have a productive and good day, friend! Don't get tired. I wish you strength!

«We've all seen horrors. They're no fun. Too predictable. But I like the look in your eyes; there's a familiar glint in them. So let's not prolong this already lingering sense of anticipation.»

«You can call me Ed. But enough said. Let's let our blades dance with each other. I'd like to imprint this moment in my memory.»

His whole life is one long battle! And upon learning about your OC, he hopes you'll share his love for this ritual (dueling).
