1 Chapter 1

Starting at the night sky in disbelief, horror, and anguish, was a teenage male of about 16-17 years old. Dark hair, Emerald green eyes, and a face that is... average.

Neither ugly nor Good-looking. A face you would quickly forget if it wasn't for those green gems you call eyes.

But what's the most eye-grabbing was the puddle of blood underneath him and the numerous scars and wounds on his chest and neck.

Taking a quick look at the wounds one tell that it was from some kind of wild animal!

Crisscrossing claw shape wounds shredded his chest till the bones were reflecting the moonlight while his throat was just a pile of sliced meat!

Nobody in our world could ever hope to live after being mutilated like this!

But this is not our world!

.....

'I can't believe I'm going to die at 16, at the hands of some maniac.'

Because I was unable to sleep tonight I went outside to get some cold fresh winter air and relax for a bit.

Not even five minutes out there some guy came walking out of the woods surrounding the backyard!

As soon as he was out in the open he immediately spotted me and we made eye contact.

When our eyes meet I quickly knew I was in trouble. The only thing I could see in his eyes when he saw me was twisted happiness and bloodlust.

Growing up as a normal teenager I have never in my life have seen someone display bloodlust but I instinctively knew what it was like.

And what was going to happen next

Snapping out it, I quickly got up and got ready to run to the house behind me where I would have the advantage, and I can have enough time to get a weapon, preferably a gun.

He was over a hundred feet away from me which would give me enough time to get inside, lock the door and find a weapon.

But what happened next truly brought on the suffocating feeling of despair.

At the same time, I made my move, he did as well.

He started running in my direction so fast that when I merely blinked he was halfway to me!

Before I could comprehend how that was possible, he was right in front of me!

He reached for my throat and that's when I saw that he was wearing some kind of engraved silver clawed gauntlet.

There was nothing I could do to defend myself.

I felt and watched as he carved into me with a smile full of glee that stretched from ear to ear.

Just as fast he attacked me he was gone.

...

So here I am.

Nearly cut up in little pieces, in agony, bleeding out, with a heart full of hatred!

And quickly fading away.

...

Starting a night sky as I die in agony a transplant screen appeared obstructing my view of the sky.

Along with that was the knowledge of the [Witcher] class and the stats meaning drilling into my already feeble and fading mind.

With the mental torture, I quickly lost consciousness, most likely never to wake again.

.....

Everything was black, then there was a white light in the distance, I made way to it, but a golden black ball appeared blocking my way, it struck me.

...

When I woke up again I was so physically and mentally weak I didn't even know what was going on.

I made my way to the house, up the stairs, to my room, and onto my bed.

.....

I slowly opened my eyes yawning and was going to start getting ready for the day and then it hit me.

The crazy man!

Bringing ripped to shreds!

Dying!

The [Witcher] class!

Everything that happened bombarded me at the same time and overwhelmed me.

But then I felt it fade away and then I was as calm as never before.

Even without trying I calmly went through the events of last night and didn't even feel a ripple of emotion.

That should be concerning, but I think I have more important things to think about.

Taking a deep breath I called up the [Status Screen] and went through it.

The [Status Screen] is part of my Innate power and when it awakened I immediately knew what everything meant.

Name, age, and health are obvious if you don't know what those are you have a problem.

The [Level] is a visual representation of my skills, experience, and achievements. So basically the more I do/accomplish the more I level up.

As for the stats and class abilities, it spells everything out for you. So no need to explain all that.

The only thing I was confused about is the [Witcher] Class.

I never heard of a [Witcher: Monster Hunter] of any kind!

So I got up from bed and hopped onto the computer and searched.

But came up with nothing relevant to [Witcher]'s but a lot of stuff about Monster Hunters.

As for the [Signs] ability I know they are a type of Magic used by the [Witchers] according to the information my innate power provided me!

[Aard]- Produces a telekinetic wave to push your intended target/s away.

[Igni]- Produces a stream of fire out of the palm.

[Yrden]- A magical trap that immobilizes enemies.

[Quen]- Produces a Shield around the user that absorbs attacks for 30 seconds.

[Axii]- Hypnotizes the target.

[Somne]- Puts the target to sleep.

[Heliotrop]- Slows nearby enemies.

.....

After reviewing the [Status Screen] I dismissed it and made my way to my private bathroom

I walk to the mirror and examined myself.

Last night my chest and neck were sliced into pieces and if not for the [Accelerated Healing] ability I would be dead.

Now, all over my chest and neck were hundreds of scars left!

Everything below my neck and above my waist was nothing but scars and scar tissue creating a horrifying sight.

Seeing this brought intense negative emotions but [Cold Blooded] kicked in and helped me calm down.

Closing my eyes I concentrated, took a few deep breaths, and then open my eyes.

The scars that were on my chest and neck were gone!

Like nothing ever happened.

The only thing left as a physical reminder of the attack is a dark-colored claw scar over my heart.

Glaring at the scar with hatred I slowly said, "I will find you and return the favor!"

[Health: Healthy]

[Willpower: +1]
