2 System
"The hell...?"
I'm very confused right now.
The raindrops pelted against my head, soaking my hair as I lifted my gaze to the sky.
"And shitty weather to pair with this confusion..."
{Congratulations on becoming a hunter!}
"Oh what the-!"
Jumping up in shock at a strange blue screen in front of me, I stumbled over wet cardboard boxes, nearly losing my balance before catching myself
{Due to just becoming a hunter, a weaker classed hunt has been automatically picked.}
{First hunt: Micheal Myers.}
{General info: Micheal Myers has been terrorizing the town of Haddonfield for decades, only being fended off by a small group of people. Unfortunently, this Micheal is a anomly that requires you're interference.}
{Goal: Hunt down the Anomaly Micheal Myers and elminate him.}
"Micheal Myers?..."
Getting up from the boxes, I looked at the screen in confusion.
"You mean THE Micheal Myers? Like the slasher from the halloween movies?"
{Correct.}
A dumbfounded look popped up on my face.
Micheal Myers?
'Well the Being did say I was supposed to hunt anomalies across the multiverse...'
'But I didn't realize this included fictional universes though!'
Multiple questions were in my head currently, but I needed to focus on the more important matters. I turned back to the screen.
"Wait, before we get into all this 'hunt' business, what are you even?"
{I am system designed to help a hunter travel, grow and hunt.}
A system huh?
Well the Being did say something about a system before I got teleported here.
This kinda sounds like something you'd find in a fantasy novel.
"Hmm...I that makes sense. So what is all this stuff on hunting Micheal Myers? Aren't like anomalies like made from piled-up negative energy? Last I checked, Micheal is just a like undead super freak?"
{While that may be true, the universe you currently are in is different from the one you are used to. This current Micheal Myers was created from after the death of the original Micheal Myers in 1963. A anomaly was created from the raw negativity and evil from the original, and brought the original Micheal's body back to life.}
"So the Micheal I'm supposed to hunt is basically a Anomly inhabiting Micheal's body?"
{Correct.}
Jesus.
The original timeline Micheal was already a freak, powering through bullets like they were nothing the older he got. Now some sentient evil is puppeting his body?
I suddenly shivered at the thought of that.
I also have no idea if the Anomaly stregthens Micheal which makes me somehow hunting this freak even worse.
{Disclaimer: By taking on this hunt, you will be given the ability to obtain presets of existing characters/people, allowing you hunt down Micheal Myers.}
{Disclaimer: You will be able to leave this universe once you hunt down Micheal Myers.}
"..."
Presets? Not able to leave?
"Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."
Rubbing my forhead I let out a pained groan.
'All of this sounds really, really difficult. Not to mention I don't even know how to really go about hunting down Micheal. Am I even capable of doing so?'
All these thought's clouded my head, with the rain not letting up to my mood got even more sour.
"Hey uh system, can you give me like a general overview of this hunt?"
I need more information, maybe after getting some info I'll get a idea of what to do.
{Hunt overview:}
{First hunt: Micheal Myers.}
{General info: Micheal Myers has been terrorizing the town of Haddonfield for decades, only being fended off by a small group of people. Unfortunently, this Micheal is a Anomly that requires you're interference.}
{Goal: Hunt down the Anomaly Micheal Myers and elminate him.}
{Hunt class: E}
{Disclaimer 1: By taking on this hunt, you will be given the ability to obtain presets of existing characters/people, allowing you hunt down Micheal Myers.}
{Disclaimer 2: This version of Micheal Myers is from the 2018 film.}
{Disclaimer 3: You will be able to leave this universe once you hunt down Micheal Myers.}
{3 presets choices will be given as a starting bonus.}
{You are free to roam the town of Haddonfield, but leaving the town is not a option.}
"Hmm."
I got more information.
The hunt class I guess is refering to the difficulty of the hunt. With this hunt being E class, I can assume that this is a pretty weak one. I was also given the version of Micheal as well: the 2018 Halloween version of him. Well I don't recall this version of Micheal having anything crazy so I think I'll be ok at least. And the not leaving Haddonfield part made sense, how were you going to hunt Micheal if you just ran away.
One part of this didn't make any sense to me though.
"System, what exactly are presets?"
{Presets are the saved abilites, skills, gear, experience, etc of characters and people from all across the multiverse. Before the start of any hunt, a hunter is able to choose a preset to equip to themselves to help strengthen them in order to hunt whatever Anomaly they may face. Presets are also given out depending on the class of the universe the hunter hunts in.}
Huh.
That's pretty interesting to say the least.
"So if I'm correct, if let's say I go to I don't know the universe of Naruto and I picked a preset of let's say, Yusuke Urameshi I would have all of Yusukes abilites, skills, etc?"
{Correct.}
"That's amazing!"
I can live out the little kid fantasy's of shooting out Kamehamehas!
If I can get that far that is.
This isn't as bad of a situation anymore, more or less it's mangable now!
'This is going to difficult still, but I think I can do this! If I can get a good enough preset I can go hunt down Micheal!'
I found a new sense of confidence in my chances here, the thought fighting monsters with epic powers suddenly popped up in my head, motivating me even more.
"System, show me the presets!"
I don't know if it was luck or not but the rain suddenly stopped after I said that.
{Of course, presets will be shown now:}
{Preset 1: Jonathan "John" Wick
-Origin: John Wick
-Skills: Peak Human Condition, High Pain Tolerance, Master Assassin, Master Marksman, Master Martial artist, Vehicular Mastery, Stealth Mastery, Gifted intellect, and Indomitable Will
-Equipment: Heckler & Koch P30L}
{Preset 2: Ethan Matthew Hunt
-Origin: Mission Impossible
-Skills: Peak Human Condition, Master Marksman, Master Martial artist, Vehicular Mastery, Stealth Mastery, Gifted intellect, and Master Tactician
-Gear: Beretta 92FS}
{Preset 3: Frank Castle
-Origin: Marvel Cinematic Universe
-Skills: Peak Human Condition, High Pain Tolerance, Master Assassin, Master Marksman, Master Martial artist, Master Tactician, and Indomitable Will
-Gear: Kimber Warrior and Springfield Armory XDM Compact}
"Hot damn!"
These preset's are great for this hunt! All of these guys are some of the best non-superpowered guys out there, perfect for this. I was happy.
But now I needed to make a tough choice: Who do I pick?
I started to walk around in frustrated circles, weighing the pros and cons of each character.
Unfortunently Ethan was out. Ethan was more based around spy, CIA shit. Granted he had very good fighting skills but compared to Wick and Punisher he falls off. That leaves me with the choice of Wick or Punisher.
Honestly ether one could work very well. Wick has had a lot more stuff to work with, seeing how hes had like 4 movies and a bunch of comics about him. MCU Punisher is a lot more brutal and sneaky then wick, which matches Wicks more longer time existing.
"hrmph...Tough call..."
I thought about it longer. As much I think both are good, I had a strong liking towards Wick and his movies. It's a pretty dumb reason why to pick Wick but I don't really care.
Sorry Frank but you on the bench this time.
"System, I picked the first preset!"
{Preset 1: Jonathan "John" Wick has been chosen.}
{Preset will be equipped once the hunt starts.}
{Do you wish to start the hunt?}
{Yes/No}
I mean now is it even a choice?
It feels weird on how I feel excited to go hunt Micheal.
But nevermind all of that.
"Yes I wish to start the hunt!"
The screen suddenly turned a bright red as bold letters popped up.
{The hunt for Micheal Myers begins now.}
