Essence of theSuicidal Hunter

By imbibing this essence (based on SSS-Class Suicide Hunter), you gain the following:

• You have the power to Return By Death! Whenever you die, you are shunted 24 hours back in time with all your memories intact. You bring any powers back with you to the past, even to before you originally gained them. That includes this power too. One downside is that cooldowns are carried with your mind instead of resetting with your body when you go back in time.

• When you are killed by someone, you may copy a single one of their powers or supernatural-level skills. You will see all their abilities as floating cards with their descriptions facing away from you. All you see is their backs, colour coded with bronze/silver/gold/crystal for their power level. Unless you have some other power to cheat this, you have to choose randomly. You can only gain one ability from each person, no matter how many times they kill you.

• Every time you are killed you will see some trauma from your killer's past, viewing it as an undetectable ghostly third party.

• You gain a startling and disconcerting apathy in response to your own death. You do not like dying despite your power, nor do you like pain any more than you already did. Despite this, the sting of death and whatever arduous journey got you there is severely blunted. If properly motivated, you could kill yourself over 4000 times in one sitting to go back more than a decade, all without any psychological damage. You could also repeatedly starve yourself to the brink of death countless times to master a demonic martial art based on slaying those who have not suffered the same hardships as you.
