Cyberpunk: Starting in 2071

Morrow lived a quiet life in the world of Hunter x Hunter, managing a small antique shop hidden from prying eyes. Having quietly agreed to work for Morena Prudo and enjoying his peaceful days, he believed he could avoid the deadly conflicts that rule this ruthless universe. But peace never lasts long. When the Phantom Troupe knocks on his door, his life tragically turns upside down. Mercilessly murdered, Morrow suddenly awakens... one year earlier, at the exact moment he first arrived in this strange world. The reason for his return? A mysterious tattoo adorning his body, a puzzle whose true powers he had previously overlooked. However, this second chance comes at a price. A sinister death mark is now branded upon him, constantly threatening his renewed life. To survive and free himself from this grim fate, Morrow must fully harness the strange abilities of his tattoo, which not only sent him back in time but also absorbed and enhanced the formidable skill "Etude of Love" granted by Morena, allowing him to level up and grow stronger with each challenge. -------------- What to expect - Strong MC but not OP. - A strong but bounded power: it puts him on the level of HxH geniuses - A smartly designed hatsu - Strategy-driven wins: reading the opponent, timing, prep, and synergies rather than spamming raw power. - Don’t be fooled by the title, the MC does indeed grow stronger every time he dies, but resurrection comes at a cost and he NEVER lets himself die without fighting to the very last moment. - The personalities of the original HxH characters, whether main or supporting, are faithfully preserved —-- 2 chapters per day minimum

Why did you become a hunter? Why put on armor, take up a heavy weapon, and begin this hunt? Is it to prove yourself, to pursue the tender dreams of childhood, to seek vengeance born of blood and tears, to embrace this cruel yet beautiful world? Or perhaps you simply yearn for that endless wilderness... ------------ What to expect: - No superpowers or cheat abilities - An extremely talented protagonist - No isekai/reincarnation elements - Living, breathing characters with depth - Sharp, engaging dialogue It’s okay if you’re not familiar with the Monster Hunter world but I recommend keeping a wiki open so you can quickly see what each monster looks like.

Across the lands of North America, urban legends run rampant. Malevolent Alessa torments the living, Freddy harvests souls in dreams, Jason swings his machete by the lakeside, demons wear the skin of nuns, and Annabelle toys with human hearts through curses… Here, survival is the only luxury ordinary people can hope for. But Sephirot, nephew of Dante, the legendary demon hunter, never considered these so-called urban legends to be a threat. “This shot is called Silver Baptism.” Holy silver bullets blew apart the demon nun’s head. “This strike is called Dimensional Slash.” A flash of blade-light passed, and Freddy’s dreamscape was torn apart by force. Sephirot stepped on Jason’s head, arrogantly chambering another round. “That’s it?” … Until that day, when the forbidden seal of the cabin in the woods was opened. An ancient god broke free from its cocoon, and a shadow vast enough to blot out the sky enveloped the entire city. Sephirot’s bullets could only leave a faint white mark. Even the Dimensional Slash, said to sever all things, merely scraped off a layer of the creature’s skin. Faced with such despair, everyone thought Sephirot was doomed. But then they saw him sigh, pull a communicator from his coat, and say: “Uncle, if you don’t show up soon, I’m telling Lady you secretly used her card again.” At that moment, the sky was forcibly torn open by a crimson greatsword. A white-haired man dressed in red stepped through the void, looking visibly annoyed. “Tch. You’re getting less and less cute, threatening your elder over some little demon.” ------------------------- Note 1: This is a crossover fanfiction that includes elements from anime, movies, TV series, and video games. It takes inspiration from many different works, including but not limited to Devil May Cry, Silent Hill, Wrong Turn, Resident Evil, Hostel, Constantine, The Nun, and Orphan, among others. Note 2: I know crossover fanfiction can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when it mixes so many different settings and lores together. To make things easier, I’ll be adding a small section at the end of many chapters to explain certain lore details, references, or story elements for readers who may not be familiar with every series involved.

Leon. Claire. Chris. Ada Wong. Names every player knows. Icons that defined a generation. When we played as them, nothing felt impossible. Monsters could be killed. Conspiracies could be crushed. Every nightmare could be survived. But what if you were not one of them? What if you were just an ordinary person, thrown into a world of terrifying zombies, monstrous creatures, and one uncontrollable virus after another, while ruthless giants of business and politics chase power in the shadows? When survival is no longer guaranteed, and the ambitions of the powerful are built on countless deaths, one question remains: Can an ordinary person still hold on to hope?

Klein had always scoffed at the idea of being reincarnated into another world. After all, who knew what kind of hellhole he might end up in? If he had to be sent to another world, then at the very least he wanted eternal life, power at the very top of the setting, command over vast territories, trillions of loyal soldiers, an absolutely safe starting point, untold quadrillions of worshippers, and a million worlds under his rule. He wanted a cheat system that combined immortality, secret identities, empire-building, an overpowered protagonist setup, clan expansion, a dynasty-building mechanic, and, just for good measure, even more invincibility. Ideally, he would not have to do anything at all. He could simply sit there. And so... Terra. The Imperial Palace. Atop the Golden Throne. Klein opened his eyes. “Wait... do I have to sit on the Golden Throne too?” --------------------- Note: Warhammer is an extremely vast universe, so if you notice any lore-related mistakes or lines that feel off, feel free to leave a comment and I will correct them when I can. I will occasionally include glossary notes to briefly explain certain lore elements mentioned in a chapter, though these will be fairly rare as they take additional time to put together.
