Pact Of the Marksman v1.2.1 (2024/Project Moon)

When a hunter received a gun with the bullets that will puncture anything he pleased from the Devil, the Devil proposed a childish contract: the last bullet would puncture the heart of his most beloved. The moment the hunter heard that, he sought down and shot all the people he loved. Telling the Devil, "This magical bullet can truly hit anyone just like you say." The final bullet then punctured his own heart. He traveled to numerous worlds, doing whatever he felt based on impulse. One day, the marksman realized the Devil no longer followed him. He pondered why, then realized that his soul had already fallen to Hell. The contract had been fulfilled, so the Devil had left. The marksman, now a devil himself, continues to pull the trigger to gather the souls of others.

Amidst a blue-aura filled place, a shadowy being approached you and held out his hand.
In the palm of the being is a bullet. It pulsates with a foreboding aura.
'This is a magic bullet that will never miss, no matter what. But… it has one condition. The final bullet will always fly toward the one you love most. If you are still willing to fire this bullet, or have someone you would like to shoot… I can grant you that.'

You have taken this Devil Marksman as your patron, and have partaken in the same contract that he himself had entered. through the contract, have been given the same Boons and the same condition, that the seventh bullet you fire will fly towards the one you love most.

 So don't step into the line of fire, unless you'd like to be made a target of the Devil's Magic Bullet, that is.
