A reputation as ‘The Most Feared Gunslinger In the West’, and the Law hot on his heels, Henry Morgan had lived a full life. So when it all ended with a gunshot to the back of his head, he was quite ready. He embraced death… He embraced his end. Except it wasn’t the end… Some mysterious [Powerful Forces that be] wrenched him out of the world he knew and deposited him into the body of a version of himself in a Parallel world. A world where something as ‘impossible’ as Magic apparently exists. These [Powerful Forces that be] went a step further by granting Henry a System and issuing him strange prompts and Quests that send him down a road of Adventure and bloodshed all so he can etch his name in history and show this world and its many ‘wonders’ just how deadly a Gunslinger can be…

Triss’ First Kill

The moment the words left his lips, Henry knew he had lost any chance of shutting down the topic, and soon, Triss would ask a question that would 'force' him to go into detail.

"What does that mean?" Triss asked, sounding genuinely curious despite the slight tone of outrage Henry failed to detect.

"She's not a killer," Henry said. 

"A killer?," Triss let out and she wrinkled her nose, "Like us, you mean? You think we're killers?"

Her tone made it seem Henry's words had hit her ears wrong but seeing as he couldn't tell how anything he had said could be offensive, Henry continued, 

"Well, yes," he said, "We've taken lives… But she's different. She's— been through a lot." 

"And you think I haven't? You think Stefan hasn't? You think Charles hasn't?"
