God hunter system : The punisher

God hand

[Congratulations, master. You have just unlocked the God Hunter system ultimate skill. The system will now explain what it is and all the parameters of this skill.] Fanel gulped. He could never have imagined in his life that he would obtain such a privilege. He, who was always the last, whose power made him feel ashamed and ranked last, would now possess the supreme power. It couldn't be a dream, could it?

"No, it is indeed the reality, dear chosen one Fanel," Kamisama confirmed, his cheerful expression fading momentarily.

Fanel sighed. Kamisama always did as he pleased, even when Fanel explicitly asked him not to interfere in his head.

"Yes, I'm like that. What's the point of having the means if it's not to use them?" Kamisama replied, seemingly reading Fanel's thoughts.

Fanel reluctantly agreed. It seemed that those with power always had the privilege of using it as they wished. The line between using it and abusing it was razor-thin. Could he keep a cool head and not be seduced by this overwhelming power? As someone who had always been belittled and humiliated, would he be able to maintain control and resist the temptations that came with great power and influence?

His thoughts were interrupted as Kamisama put his fan in front of his face and gave him a cold, calculating look. It felt like he was waiting for something.

Fanel turned to Kamisama, who had once again regained his cheerful expression, and sighed. "Kamisama, why me? Is it because I was the weakest? Or just because I was so pitiful that you took pity on me?"

Kamisama chuckled. "Kukuku, I understand your confusion, but rest assured, it wasn't me who chose you. On this one, I was only following the choices of the system, which selected you to possess the God's Hand."

Fanel nodded, though he still didn't fully understand why Kamisama deemed him worthy of such an honor.

The system window opened in front of him, and it displayed the explanation of God's Hand.

[System: God's Hand. Denominative: ultimate power]

Fanel held his breath, impressed by the grand presentation of his new skill.

[Master, please confirm that you accept God's Hand.]

Fanel swallowed heavily and turned to find Kamisama waving at him, indicating that he should confirm the order. With shaky hands, Fanel raised his hand to the window and confirmed his acceptance.

As soon as he did, the window began rapidly scrolling through several other windows, causing Fanel's pupils to move quickly as he tried to absorb the information.

It took more than ten minutes for the scrolling to finally come to a stop. Fanel felt as if he had just run a hundred meters. His head felt heavier than usual, and he feared he might pass out.

"It's just an impression," Kamisama reassured him, noticing Fanel's pale and livid face. "I mean, the feeling of a heavy head, of course. The impression that your brain has tripled in size is also false, except for one detail: it's not the mass of your brain that has increased, but its capacity."

"I... I don't understand," Fanel stammered.

Kamisama smiled and lightly tapped Fanel's forehead with his fan. "The God's Hand is an ultimate power that not only awakens and develops your intellectual and physical abilities but also increases your brain's capacity for knowledge and understanding. Look."

Kamisama directed Fanel's attention to his reflection against the wall, and Fanel's jaw dropped in disbelief. The person he saw in the reflection looked like him, but different. He seemed taller and had a more mature and lively appearance, except for his eyes and hair, which remained the same.

"That's me?" Fanel asked, his voice filled with awe and confusion.

"Of course," Kamisama confirmed.

Fanel approached the reflection and gently touched his own face. It was indeed him, but there was something different. He closed his eyes, trying to process the information he had received from the system.

"The God's Hand can enhance and evolve an individual's skills and abilities. In my case, it seems that my regeneration power, which I considered insignificant, has evolved significantly," Fanel murmured, the realization sinking in.

Kamisama chuckled. "The God's Hand and the Heal Point are two extremes, the strongest and the weakest ; these two powers can create sparks"

Fanel smiled, clenching his fist, feeling the immense power coursing through him. He never thought he would possess such incredible abilities.

"You will have time to learn the full extent of your powers later. Let's focus on the most important point," Kamisama said, his tone serious.

Fanel sensed the gravity of the situation as Kamisama opened the window for the God's Hand mission in his case.

[Mission: Punisher. Master: Fanel. Ultimate skill: God's Hand.]

Fanel's role was to use the God's Hand to punish hunters who had strayed from the right path and were exploiting humans with their powers.

[Manifestations: Curse on Their Souls and Bodies]

Fanel had obtained the authorization to inflict a sentence on deserving hunters. The master had the freedom to assess the severity of the judgment and the actions they would take.

[Curse on hunter abilities, with a short duration]

The curses would involve physical and mental alterations, as well as ultimate revelation and change. Fanel could choose to apply these curses according to the master's judgment and the seriousness of the wrongdoings committed. The goal was to justly punish the wrongdoers and guide them back to the right path.

Fanel sighed, realizing that these curses seemed simple in theory but would be complex to execute. Particularly the last curse: Revelation. Would the hunters of today be receptive to such power?

He trembled, unsure if he would be able to act with fairness and justice in the face of the hunters who had become vermin.

"Oh, I almost forgot, my dear chosen one Fanel. I'm going to add a condition to your mission," Kamisama said with a serious tone, his expression somber.

Fanel furrowed his brow, curious and apprehensive about what Kamisama was about to say. He nodded, indicating his readiness to hear it.

"You are strictly prohibited from taking a life, regardless of the circumstances," Kamisama declared firmly.

Fanel's heart sank at the weight of that condition. It seemed that although he had been granted great power, he had also been burdened with a great responsibility—to bring justice without resorting to death.
