Omake: New Game+

I sat there among the tall grass. As Gehrman raised his scythe, I looked up at him

"Is this the only way?" I weakly asked

In the end, I chose the selfish path. 

To leave this accursed nightmare forever, I am willing to bring torment to those that will come after me

For as long as there is the dream, the Hunt will continue

Across different realms. Across different timelines. Hunters will die as they live, experiencing the horrors of Yharnam just like me in an eternal cycle of unending violence

I became a coward. No, rather I have became too tired to care

The hunt. The endless slaughter. The cries of the damned as they beg for the sweet releasee of death...my ambition to grow into a god, once a raging flame, now simmered into ashen embers. I could not care if any other have to go through this, I just want to be out of it myself

Pathetic. A part of me scoffed. I'm a sorry excuse for a hunter. But who can judge a man for being selfish? Perhaps not those stuck with this mess, but certainly the ones who pulled me into it

Is this the only way? No, but they are the choices I have made. I will not regret my action

Especially after all the bloodshed and pain I have to go through because of it

"Eh, don't know. Maybe you'll discover a different ending the second time"

A pause

"Excuse me what?"

"New game plus. It lets you experience the hunt for as many cycles as you want. For each cycle completed you start out again with all your equipments and stats obtained from the last cycle" Gehrman shrugged

"What?"I repeated

"Basically that means you can infinitely strengthen yourself through multiple hunts" I looked at him

There's a million thoughts running in my head right now. Chief of which being how the fuck the old man would know about the mode, and how the fuck would it be valid inside the game itself

"That sounds too good to be true"

"Oh believe me, it's much more difficult. For once it requires them to reach the end of the first hunt, which obviously only a few talented one did" He counted "For two, it would require them to have their sanity intact, otherwise they would be unfit for duty. For three, I doubt a sane man would willingly plunge themselves into the darkness of Yharnam again, so to speak"

"So, that means I have an infinite number of chances to fuck up and still return to get the perfect ending, what should I do with that knowledge, I wonder" I whispered

"Eh, in the end the only thing that matter is your choice. I personally could care less"

The look in his eyes betray the old man's lie

"I see. One last question" A skeptical look crept across my face "Why are you telling this to me?"

"Well...I suppose I saw some of myself in you. That yearning of freedom from the depth of the nightmare. I see the regrets in your eyes, the same one I have whenever I look at myself in a mirror" The First hunter took in a deep breath

"As the host of this dream, there are...certain authorities I possess that can assist you. It is only common sense that one would want others to succeed where they hadn't"

"Going directly against your superior, huh?" We both looked toward the Dream's sky, which had now turned a bloody color

His face turned somber

"I've disappointed one of my students before. It would be a long time before I disappoint another"

White lilies swayed in the wind. Gehrman's scythe descended, as fast as lightning, severing my head from my shoulder

For the first few seconds, the comforting darkness greeted me. Then...

Do you want to enter [NG+ mode]?

<><><><><>

My eyes snapped open. I pushed myself up in the clinic's bed

A dream...so long ago, yet so recent

The Hunter set I have is still on. The unlimited weaponry from the Dream stored safely inside my pocket. All the Blood Echoes I obtained...still there

I picked up the note I wrote to myself

[Seek Paleblood to transcend the hunt]

Shaking my head, I tore the thing in half

"Already did, and still here I am"

It's been a long time since I reached the Eldritch truth. What cycle is this? The one hundred millionth? One billionth? Somewhere between?

I have stopped counting long ago. There's no point in deciphering that which is infinite in nature.

Strength: 99/10

Dexterity: 99/10

Endurance: 99/10

Intelligence: 99/10

Wisdom: 99/10

Luck: 99/10

"Alright, let's fucking do this..again"

I walked out from the front door and down the stair, deciding to see if I still have my skills intact

The wolf is still goring on the corpse as I approached him from behind. The wolf perked up as it noticed my presence. It growled, before lunging at me

I sneezed, causing the creature to explode into a shower of blood and gore

Glad to see my 99 Strength is still the same

Spatter of blood stick to my clothe as I continued upward, where I encountered doctor Iosefka

"Hello doctor" I opened the door. A silence descended upon the ward, before the shocked doctor regain her composure

"Wait, s-stop. How did you unlock the door from the other side?

"99 Dexterity"

She looked at me with confusion, then clear her throat.

"Regardless, you're covered in blood. You must be a hunter. If so, I cannot let you enter unless you've removed all article of infected clothing off you"

Her voice stern as the woman crossed her arms. 

"And what if I don't?"

"I'm sorry?"

I leaned forward 

"How about you take them off yourself, Iosefka?" 

My words took a second for her to process. In that time I casually strode forward and pinned her to the wall

"H-hah? Kya! Wait-" She flailed her arms as I put my hands behind her "Whatever are you saying? Have you no shame?!" 

"I still have a hunt to attend" I purred, hand catching her fist as it swung toward me "But before that, it won't hurt to have myself some fun, right?"

"Get your hands off me. You're no more than a beast. Please, this is not you" She plead

Beast, huh? You know what, I won't bother correcting her

Before I'd have balked at the thought, but after the first two hundred times or so I stopped caring about personal morality. Death around every corner, constant paranoia and anxiety, all just to save a city that's been doomed from the start. So I simply stopped and started ejoying myself

On the next cycles, I ended up doing something I'd never done in the previous ones just to stir things up. 

It was small and innocuous at first. Flirting with Eileen, teasing the Doll, mock proposing to Annalise, among most things mentioned in the [How to Pick Up Fair Maidens] book I borrowed from Gehrman

The women themselves seems to be more amused than annoyed at my actions, so I'd thought it's something anybody in Yharnam is used to

Then those activities soon turned...daring. 

I nibbled on her neck, my tongue sliding across the doctor's smooth, tanned skin, taking in the smell of ministered blood that clung to her like a perfume. Iosefka shivered, fear and fear locked in exciting dance behind those green eyes

"Oh, sir Hunter~ Ooh~"

She moaned. The woman's fierce demeanor died faster than a Cleric Beast under my assault. I smirked, one hand fondling her round breasts, pinching her hardened nipples underneath the white fabric of the Church's uniform

Her right hand interlocked with mine, while the other circled around my back. I found her lips, closing on it slowly and caught her in a firm, yet gentle kiss

I brought my hand down between her legs, gently stroking it between the doctor's thigh and eliciting muffled gasps in response. This is a woman who hasn't lost her virginity, and from her reaction she's the type who'd want to take things slowly on her first time

How she'd have her expectations broken

I smiled as we separated, a trail of saliva connecting our lips. She doesn't response, replying with huffs of breath

Iosefka's expression is one that looks to be in a daze. Her face beet red, an unhealthy flush in contrast with the doctor's usually serene expression. Drool dripped down her mouth, to which I licked it and caught her in a second kiss

This time she offers a respond, her tongue moving hesitantly as she kissed me back. After a small delay, that same hesitation turned to vigorous passion. Iosefka's hands moved up and wrap around my neck. She pulled me in, deepening our kiss 

 I let the woman have her fun before biting on her lip. As she snapped out of her pleasure-induced high I retaliated by squeezing down on her plump ass. She squeaked when I twirled around and roughly slammed her on a nearby bed. I was on her in less than a second, body pressing against the woman beneath me

At this distance I could truly felt what the doctor packed. All those curves, hidden beneath the cumbersome outfit she wore. Truly a wasted flower  

"Oh, already wet down here, aren't we?" 

My hand slid through her panty, finger finding the exact spot inside her entrance that would incite the most amount of pleasure in Iosefka. The doctor's breath hitched, and my smile turn predatory

Fun fact: The higher your Visceral damage is, the more pleasure you'd be able to bring to your partner during intercourse

And since my Dexterity is at max...

I plunged a single finger inside 

Iosefka howled as her mind exploded into a world of incomprehensible pleasure. Her body spasmed, hips furiously moving on their own as the doctor started grinding it against my palm

It doesn't take long for her to cum. She squeals as if she's never done so before, like its the first orgasm she's ever experienced. Though it'd only be expected from a woman wearing the Church Set

Looking at Iosefka, once a tender and merciful doctor who treats her patient with the grace of an angel. Now she sat there shivering on the floor, defiled like a sewer pig. 

Something about the sight turned me on as I pulled back, my hand went to the belt of my pant

"Don't you give up on me now, good doctor...not until I've had my fun"

An AU in which the Hunter discovered what NG+ is

He will be...uh...pretty OP. And unlike the Hunter you've gotten used to, pretty ruthless

Tell me if you want another chapter of this. I'm just testing the water with this one, and honestly...I suck at writing lemons :(
