'Farewell, my keen hunter, fear the old blood.' The last words an old man said to him before his head was chopped off.

Pretty disappointing, he thought, for a hunter like him to die such a simple death.


He shouldn't be here.

He expected to wake up back in Yharnam, under one of its gargantuas buildings. To continue the hunt until he died or lose himself to the bloodlust, whichever came first.

Instead, he ended up in a cave.

If it was even a cave to begin with, no regular cavern he has seen have lights everywhere.

Lifting himself from the ground, he took a look at his surroundings.

Ugh, out of all the places, he had to wake up to face a group of monsters.

However, none of them even remotely looked like the many beasts he slain countless times.

Most of them are skeletons, wielding an array of weapons, what kind of eldritch powers that managed to animate them, he did not know.

Leading them is a giant humanoid lizard holding a giant greatsword, with blue scales that seem to reflect the light shining from this cave.

He immediately drew his silver longsword, a simple weapon with a curved guard adorned only with some engravings. Fingering the grip, he felt comforted by the few objects he is familiar with.

One of the skeletons, holding a shortsword in its right hand and a shield in its left, charged forward and attempted slice his chest.

The hunter however sidestepped to the left and in one clean motion, drew his sword back and chopped the skeletons head off.

I've become slower, thought the hunter as he dashed forward, cleaving another skeleton from its waist to its neck.

Another skeleton tried to lob off his head with its giant greatsword, the hunter proceeded to parry the blade. Locking the greatsword in his sword's crossguard, he twisted it to the side, evading the attack completely. He immediately drew back his left hand and swung it at the skeleton, caving its skull in.

Finally, the hunter drew his sidearm, a repeating pistol, and blew the head off the remaining skeleton.

The lizardman wasn't happy about its little monster party being destroyed, it ran towards the hunter, swinging its massive sword wildly towards him, a voracious war cry emanating from its mouth.

The hunter backstepped back, easily avoiding the lizardman's swings. Grabbing the massive steel hunk of metal attached to his back, he lifted it overhead and swung it downwards, smashing the lizard, turning it into a giant bloody pile of body parts and gore.

The waking world sure isn't what I expected.

Stowing his weapons, he picked up one of the more intact parts of the lizardman, giving it sniff before taking a bite on presumably, the arm of the beast he just killed.

Ah well, at least the food's pretty good.

A loud cry reverberated from the distance, a monster horde is converging onto him. Beasts of all shapes and sizes, wielding an array of weapons, all unified with a single goal. To kill him.

Beastly abominations, all of them.

Drawing his blade, the hunter pushed it into an opening in the middle of the giant slab. Making a satisfying ca-chink as the two pieces combined into a giant hammer.

A hunter's job never ends.

He charged forward, a feral grin etched upon his face.

He swung his gigantic hammer, smashing his way through hordes of monsters.

'A hunter must hunt' A crow-like hunter said, her parting words to him as they went on their separate ways, one to hunt beasts, the other to hunt another kind of 'beast'.

As he pulverised the monsters that tried to challenge him, he made a decision.

He would continue to do what he did best in this uncharted territory, to continue the hunt until every beast has been slain by his hand.

Because that's what hunters do.


A/N: Alright great my first (half-baked) idea for a story actually has a chapter now, please do me a favour and give me a review of how shit my writing is and what I gotta improve on, now that's said I'm probably gonna write a longer chapter next time cause this is the prologue so far.

And don't worry, I'm gonna flesh out my boi here soon, once i pick up a name for him XD.
