Netto for the past 3 months has been spending his time researching and working on trying to find a cure for his predicament. A year ago a spirit had attempted to possess Netto and take his body for himself however it turns out Netto had a hidden power that ended up absorbing the spirit rather then allowing it to take his body. As it turns out Netto is a soul shaman an ancient being who has complete control over his soul and the souls of others, though the others part usually consisted of spirits or ghosts, he wasn't a fan of killing without reason. Never the less this ability was something he has had for thousands of year and it has allowed him to retain the memories of his past lives and even some of their powers. He's lived a total of seven including the one he's currently living from a simple forest guide to swashbuckling pirate and even a werewolf. He could draw apon these past lives to fuel his abilities or well they should be able to which is why he is in the predicament mentioned before.


The spirit when it attempted to possess Netto damaged his soul severely weakening how his powers worked and made him lose not only a good amount of the power he's been accumulating over the past seven lives but a lot of their memories as well. His soul has always worked as a sort of jar that can absorb excess power and transform it into soul energy that he can freely form into any weapon from his past life however its pretty much shattered and impossible to hold any energy. In a desperate attempt to fix this Netto called apon his ancestors through a ritual. They also knew very little on how to fix it but they tried their best to no avail. Instead it made things worst, his soul could gather energy again but now his past lives have taken a mind of their own creating six other personalities inside Netto's head all arguing about who should be in control or who is the real one.


At the end of his rope Netto is trying one last ditch effort that will either kill him or fix him. Netto after the past 3 months of research into any manuscript he could find on the study of the soul and talking to his ancestors he come to a very drastic conclusion. The only way he could fix his soul a hundred percent is to fuse a soul of either a powerful Kia or Demon.  The Kia being the good gods of the universe and killing one of them to fix his souls was not only against his morals but it would also brand him as an evil person something he does not want. The other was just as risky, sure Netto was a demon hunter in many of his past lives but to fuse his soul with one could corrupt him if he didn't perform this ritual perfectly or just straight up kill him.

But Netto had enough hearing six other voices in his head all the time was driving him insane and enough was enough. Using his team's portal to other world Netto went on a long venture into Hell its self.

While down there Netto kept his energy low he was not only a living person but a human at that. With his fighting capabilities cut and his mind no where near the right place there was no way he could fight a demon,even if it was even with his power level. He moved carefully and quietly trying to find a demon he could easily kill and steal its soul without it putting up much of a fight, while at the same time having enough power level to repair his soul. Netto sighed as that last thought crossed his head, "find a demon that's easy to kill but powerful. This is gonna take a while". Though by his surprise not as long as he was expecting as he spotted something big.

He spotted a large and very fat demon sitting in the middle of small clearing in the rocky hellscape. He couldn't see from his angle but it was eating something while sitting down. "He's eating? Nothing grows down here what could he be eating?" Netto thought to himself. After a little bit the blob of flesh attempted to stand only for it to fall on its back. There Netto got his answer which sent a chill down his spine. This demon was no doubt a gluttony demon a beast that eats anything it see's or gets its hands on, and in its maw of razor sharp teeth wrapped in the monsters tongue was what remained of smaller demon and what also appear to be a human arm as well. Netto's mind raced as he tried to figure out why a human would be down here besides him of course. "Did the smaller demon kidnap someone and then this fat lard caught them, or was the smaller demon giving the human to it as a sacrifice only for the gluttony demon decide to eat them both?" Netto kept trying to think an answer but nothing was showing up.

Netto although understandable shocked needed to get focused on the mission at hand. This gluttony demon is not only powerful but with how large it is and sluggish Netto may be able to perform a soul steal ritual before it can realize whats happening or before it reaches him. Netto took a deep breath and waited for the beast to turn away from him, which it did, Netto bolted forward with as much momentum he could muster. Half way to closing the distance the demon started sniffing the air, "shit, I didn't think about what if it could smell him" Netto thought but not slowing down. Netto was able to reach the beast before it could stand up , jumping on the beasts back and hanging on for dear life. Netto was prepared for the demon to start bucking wildly, but nothing happened. Netto looked up to see that the beast had indeed turned around and was looking where he was before but hadn't noticed Netto holding on, "its sense of smell and taste must be what he's so focused on his sense of touch is none existent. I think?" Well either way Netto had his chance and the creature didn't appear to have ears, Netto put his hand against the creatures back and started chanting in ancient tongue. 

After a few second the demon started yelling out in pain, this didn't stop Netto who kept chanting while holding on for as long as he could, but it was enough. Netto 's grip was slipping fast and he had to hurry. After a few moments Netto finished his chant just in time as his grip slipped, flung off the demon and smashing into a rock, Netto awoke a few minutes later holding a black mass in his hand and the beast melting away into nothingness. Netto shot to his feet realizing the gluttony demon yelled out in its final moment and probably attracted some attention. Thinking quickly he ran as for a near by space in between the rocks and lowering his power level to near nothing he sat there crouched down as a group of lesser demons swooped in on the carcass all screaming and yelling about something.

Eventually the commotion would attract higher level demons some who maybe able to pick up on Netto's suppressed power level.  Netto waited for a good time to run and when it did he bolted, ducking between rocks and squeezing through gaps and crevasses trying to make it impossible to track him. Once was a good distance away from all of that Netto used  his senses to find the exit. Once found Netto moved slowly and quickly like he did when he first entered Hell but this time he was hold what he came for a soul of pure black, a powerful demon soul.

After a few days Netto had returned to his little hut in the middle of the forest where he had all the materials to perform the ritual to repair his soul. Netto placed the soul inside a very special jar with marking all over it and placed it in the center of a large arcane circle. He lit candles made from different purified waxes and filled a bowl with special herbs and spices that he had ground on fire as well. Quickly the hut was filled with a very strong smelling smoke as Netto started chanting.

As Netto chanted the jar started shaking the fires on the candles started glowing a bright blue and the smoke from the room entered the jar. Moments later black mist was coming out of the jar and was now entering the bowl of burning herbs. Quiet screams started coming from the bowl, Netto was purifying the soul leaving only the energy of the soul its self this would repair Netto's soul while also not corrupting or changing his soul. After a few minutes the jar stopped pouring out black mist and Netto stopped chanting. He picked up the jar and began drinking from it, at first nothing happened and he started to thing it didn't work. He was suddenly floored as a wave of power over took his body, he started convulsing, his eyes rolled back into his head and he started screaming. 

After a few hours the sun rose up bring the light of new day apon the world. Netto weakly opened his eyes and tried to move only for his whole body to scream in pain, he grit his teeth screamed again trying to endure the so he could figure out what happened, only for him to pass out again. Three days passed and Netto again woke up but not in pain but in hunger. Netto shot up and sniffed the air he smelled a meal nearby, he opened his hut, and there standing in the near by field a large buck. Netto took off after it with such speed he had never seen before tackling the buck before it could even react. Without wasting a single second and out of his control he started ripping and devouring any meat and skin he could. Before long the deer was nothing more then guts and near picked clean skeleton. Covered in blood and his hunger filled Netto collapsed. Another day passed before he would awake again, this time in control of himself, he got up slowly and started to inspect himself seeing how coated in blood he was he looked back at the deer and apologized as a tear ran down his cheek. He got up and walked over to a near by stream to clean the blood off and to get a much needed drink.

Once the blood was off his hands he quickly noticed to his horror his fingernails were gone and his fingertips formed into a point forming claws. He ran to his hut and grabbed a small mirror he had and started inspecting his face. His teeth had become sharper but still looked human, his eyes were still human but his pupils were now skinner looking almost cat like. Besides the claws, teeth, and eyes nothing else changed physically but what about his powers?

After a week of testing and trying out things he discovered a few things. One, each time he ate raw meat his strength, speed and healing increased, and it didn't matter what meat it was fish, deer, bear, even bugs if they were large enough. Two, he discovered another physical change, he could control what he tasted or not, meaning he could eat wood or bugs and taste nothing as long as he wished. Three, his normal soul powers became completely changed though he could still created his soul weapons to perform attacks from his past lives he could also instead of being able to absorb excess energy to use his powers or even steal other people's abilities through reading their souls. His powers where now revolved around what he ate, if he ate energy he could absorb it and use it for his attacks, he also could gain the ability to control and use whatever he at to his advantage. He could eat a piece of wood and then control the trees near him to bend or even attack by growing wood out of his hands, the same thing would happened if he drank water, fire, air, earth anything. He could even eat gravity to fly or even kinetic energy to reduce a moving objects speed. Netto could eat anything and make use of what he ate. 

There are many things about this new power he doesn't understand, but those will come with time and training. There was something that was painfully obvious to Netto now, though his soul is fully repaired it cost him his humanity, maybe even more.
