To say my story began weirdly is... something of an understatement.

It's a rare hero's story that begins with one's death, after all!

But yes, It began... with my death.

No, it wasn't Truck-kun, a.k.a the worst driver in the Omni verse history.

To this day, I am still some what suspicious that a certain sado-maso I would eventually meet is behind that one...

It seems... fitting, for her, to use such a means to throw Chaos across Reality.

But, I digress.

I died. A disease, of all things, did me in.

It was... not as good a way to go as Truck-kun.

Quite the irony, all things considered.

Why irony? Well, that would be because of what currently had a grip on my soul.

I could... F̈́̋͑̽̆̄͆̀E̗̱̣̰͔̬̼ͦ̃̓ͩ̇Ḛ͓̜̙ͨ̾̊ͫͪL͗̽̑̍ͣ͏̩͕ the name of it.

A name I recognized.

One that, even without a body, made me shiver in dread.

Bloodborne, I thought in horror.

Have you ever had a moment in your life, where the world seemingly slow down around you? As if your brain knew that, now more than ever, you needed time to think your way through a problem?

This, was me. Right Here. Right now.

And in that single second of Time, before I was thrown into a world of Blood and Madness... I remembered something.

Great ones are sympathetic in spirits.

So if that was the case... And with the knowledge of [̗̟͚̓̅̀ͭ̀T̴͙̙͉̼̓̌̐ͪẖ̵̱e̩̜͓͈ ͓̥̮̮̦͎̬̓̍̐̏M͇͚̘̣̥̱̋̄̾͋͆́ͅo̰̣̓ͦ͂͡o̝̟͎̻̞ͩ̀̊̾͐̄ͅň̫̝͓͕̏ͤͅ ̦̱͇̣̱̇͐̐ͦ̈́͑͐P̵͚̓ṛ̩̮̽͘é̗̜̪̦̳̏ͅs̬̠̟̲̳̲ͯ́̍ḙ̮̓ͭ̈ͦ̐̍̒͝n̲̫͚͚ͬͣc̗̘̘̱͙̳̭ͧ͘e̖͔ͭ͐ͥ́͒͒]ͤ̇͏͙̺̜̻ desire for as good an Hunter as It could get...

(Proposal) I thought/scream into the Void!

The pulling on my soul stopped.

I could F̈́̋͑̽̆̄͆̀E̗̱̣̰͔̬̼ͦ̃̓ͩ̇Ḛ͓̜̙ͨ̾̊ͫͪL͗̽̑̍ͣ͏̩͕ the attention of the Great one falling fully into me, and my soul trembled before it's gaze... but somehow, someway, I held firm.

(PROPOSAL) I firmly offered again, in a way that was both speech and thoughts- I no longer had a body, after all.

But since when such things stopped a Great One from (UNDERSTANDING)?

For a moment that could well have been an eternity... I remained there, waiting.

If it worked, I would have the tools of my Salvation. Of my path to Greatness...

If it didn't? Well, I would be doomed either way.

(APPROVAL) It replied at last.

If I could sigh in relief, I would have.

If I could collapse in relief, I would have.

But I could not, so instead, I carefully held back the glee I felt... and focused on what now stood before me.

CONGRATULATION, NEW GAMER/JUMPER! ARE YOU READY TO MAKE YOUR CHOICES FOR THIS JUMP?

Y/N.

I "clicked" yes, and the Jump document opened.

I had to hold back the urge to cackle at the sight of it.

Truly... praise be to Eldritch gods who had no understanding of mortals.

They were so easy to fool, after all. A fact that would have made me feel guilty... if I didn't know exactly how this "Jump" would end.

Try and enslave me as the eternal caretaker of the Hunter's Dream now, you bastard, I thought viciously with a smirk.

I had lived a simple, uninteresting life before. But now? Well.

One way or another, I shall reach for greatness... And Greatness!

I did wonder if the Doll is as cute as she appears in the game though...Only one way to find out!

"Oh yes... Paleblood. Well, you've come to the right place. Yharnam is the home of blood ministration. You need only to unravel it's mystery. But where's an Outsider like yourself to begin? Easy, with a bit of Yharnam blood of your own... But first, you'll need a contract."

I stared at the rather disturbing man before me, before taking up the quill and... I stopped.

Sure, I could sign it with my name, but... well, I died. And this was, technically, a new life.

I stared at the yellow papers for a moment... before signing it under the name "Aeon".

A dream and an oath both.

Hopefully, I would prove myself worthy of it. The Long Night of the Hunt would test me, I was certain of it.

Oh, If only I knew...

"Good. All signed and sealed. Now, let's begin the transfusion. Oh, don't you worry. Whatever happens... you may think it all a mere bad dream..."

And of course, he began laughing creepily.

Great.

I turned my head to the side of the medical bed I was laying in... only to see a Beast rises from a puddle of Blood.

The beast? Disgusting to look at in the game.

TERRIFYING to look at in the eyes.

Thanks goodness for Gamer's Mind! I couldn't but think with rather wide eyes at the abomination before me.

The fact it was reaching for me was NOT helping!

And then it burst out in fire.

I looked at it trashing around for a moment before falling to the ground.

Wait... has the puddle of blood grown?

Fancy what the human brain can focus on when in shock... In as much as I could be with Gamer's Mind.

And then the Little Ones showed up.

They were... that is to say...

Well. I was quite happy to know that they were, in fact, friendly.

Especially when they got up to my face.

"Those are rather big mouths you've got there... Please don't bring them to my face? Please?... And you're not listening. Great-"

"Ahh, you've found yourself a hunter..."

10/10, would listen to sexy voice again.

I woke up, rising from the medical bed.

I was, thankfully, alone.

Mostly because I almost fell off the bed.

Behold, Ladies and Gentlemen! The Good Hunter, terror of Beasts and Gods alike! Truly, All shall know of my name and tremble...I thought wryly.

I stood up, looking at the, frankly, wreaked room around me.

Yup, that was Yharnam alright.

If it looked like the Apocalypse happened, that's because it did.

And I was right in the middle of it.

I stepped forward, reaching for a paper on a chair.

Seek Paleblood to transcend the Hunt.

I smirked at it.

"So I shall..." I whispered.

But first...

"[Status]!" I declared.

And I smiled widely at what was now floating before me.

I had went all out when I made my (proposal).

After all, at the difference of a Jump-chan, my...Benefactor wasn't worried about me being overpowered.

Quite the opposite.

So I not only was able to become a gamer independently from my Jumper perks, but I was able to get three free perks as starting Jumper ON TOP of those for the Bloodborne jump!

What did I use those three perks, you ask? Well, this was Bloodborne.

So I used it all on how to NOT go mad. Sure, Gamer's Mind basically protected me from Frenzy and Madness in general, but still!

Especially important since I planned to BECOME the incarnation of Eldritch-ness!

First perk? (Blue and Orange).

That way, I won't lose my morality. Or angst over taking lives as long as I saw it as a neccessity. Which, this being BLOODBORNE, was extremely important.

Secondly, (Mad Scholar).

Considering what I was about to deal with, that certainly seemed useful.

And thirdly, (To truly live).

The part about remaining true to myself seems very appropriate... to say nothing of being able to better handle living in Yharnam during the time of the Hunt.

And then, of course, there are the Bloodborne ones:

I naturally took all the free perks and items, such as (Rally), (Blood Bullets), (Gifts from the Little Ones), (Bag of Quicksilver bullets), (Bag of Blood vials) and (Hunter)- though to be fair, that last one was mandatory.

As for the others, I took for the one free Tier 1 perk (Little Things), followed by the half-priced (150) (Workshop Artisan), the half-priced (300) (Blood Saint), the full-priced (300) (Hunter Intuition) and (100) (Discovery).

Oh, and I took (Shining coins) too.

Just to make sure I would have the full 1000cp spent... And as a future memento, I suppose.

Either way, I was pretty happy with what I had. Especially since, with the fact that I was the Good Hunter, I did not need to fear losing my connection to the Dream... Amongst other things.

There were different things that I could have gotten, but most of them I was pretty sure only required hard work to get- or just coming across them throughout the Hunt.

Considering my long-term goals, I was definitely going to become a Vileblood, for example.

Now then, there was two things I needed to do.

First, I took one of the many bottles around and stared REALLY hard at it!

... What? I was a Gamer! I needed the (Observe) Skill!

After a moment of what had to be the greatest staring match with a bottle in all of human history, I heard a "ding" and smiled.

Here we go-

What do you mean, the (Insight) Skill has been created?!

AN: Alright, so this is my first (full) story. I occasionally wrote omakes in the past (some getting pretty close to 10k long...) but never a FULL story.

There are a couple of warnings I'd like to give- First, I'm going to play fast and lose with Gamer/jumper "rules".

There won't be that much of an emphasis on powers/levels/Perks later on. It will still be here, but, well, considering what I have in mind for the second Jump...

Aeon is going to be VERY OP as fuck starting from the end of Bloodborne.

Especially since I am going to use the Love Azathoth CYOA sooner or later...

On the other hand? Bloodborne? Yeah, that one is going to be somewhat HARDER than in the game.

I always personally felt that the Gods of the setting weren't as powerful as they could be.

So expect the ones in THIS story to have the actual level of BULLSHIT expected of a God/Great One.

Aeon, even WITH all his skills/abilities, will really have to earn that Godhood...

Oh, and this is QQ. So expect Harem shenanigans... eventually.

Obviously, the first lover he will have, and one of those character that WILL stay there for every universes he will go to, is the Plain Doll.

Because The Good Hunter/Plain Doll is the one true OTP of Bloodborne.

And I'll see about creating an Informational about the Good Hunter... eventually. (First time using the threadmark system, bear with me plz!)

Oh, and if someone has a better idea for the three free perks protecting me from Eldritch madness, I am willing to listen. Keep in mind, however, that Gamer's mind, by itself, prevent Madness- so a lot of the worst of Eldritch nonsense is already deal with through that.

That's all for now! Hope you all enjoyed! (And for those that didn't, genuine criticism is always appreciated!)
