Chapter 2: Ch. 2 Choosing My Cheats/Arrival
Dante thought about all the different types of skills he could give himself that fit the world and he decided on three specific ones. After a couple minutes of contemplating his choices, he looked up at the ROB.
"I have decided on my cheats."
<I'm listening>
"So for my first cheat, I want the capability to seamlessly dual wield swords, as no one in the world has that skill that I know of."
<Very well, there is no issue with this>
"For my second cheat, I want the ability that when afflicted with a curse, I keep only the benefits and not the downsides and the downsides are decided by me."
<Interesting choice. Very well, it is doable>
"Lastly I want to have the fastest ship in the world and be it's one and only captain unless I deam otherwise."
<That will take a little altering of reality, but no more than it would require to have you reincarnated in the world and nothing that will make that many waves. It is also granted>
"Awesome, I am actually really excited right now. Afterall, who wouldn't want to be transported into another world with cheats."
<Alright I will now send you to the selected world, enjoy your new life>
Right as the ROB finished his last word, a portal made of water appeared beneath me and I instinctively held my breath as I fell through.
When I woke up I found myself in a relatively small room that felt like it was moving and I was lying on an uncomfortable bed. Well, it was uncomfortable compared to what I was used to. Just as I was wondering where the hell I was, I felt a searing pain in my head as I clutched my head while writhing in pain. It felt like my brain was being ripped open. By the time the pain faded, I had new memories in my mind and was slowly going through them.
I was lucky that I didn't have to live as a baby as my new body seemed to be on 'Autopilot' and I inhabited the body at the age of 18. I had been able to keep my name and was born to Jennifer and Francis Dark as Dante Dark. My father was a swordsmen from a far land and had a unique dual wielding style of sword fighting. He taught me everything he knew and I also learned single sword fighting and was able to incorporate my own style to the forms I was taught. My father was also a sailor and taught me much about life on the seas.
My mother was an interesting case as she had actually mastered a form of unarmed fighting techniques that she taught me and was an expert gunslinger. Her teachings of how to shoot with varying guns was also incorporated into my single sword fighting style as I would include quick shots from my pistol throughout my swings.
They had died when I was 16 and for the last 2 years I had actually been working aboard a pirate ship as I learned the art of piracy as well. I was surprised to find a young Captain Jack Sparrow on board but he seemed to be older than he was when he encountered Captain Salazar I'd say probably about 5-8 years older. He was in his mid to late 20s by my guess.
Myself and Jack got along quite well as we were some of the youngest members aboard the ship even though he was the Captain and I was just a deck hand at first. The dynamic between us changed after one interaction we had with another group of pirates aboard a ship called the Sea Wolf. Jack got to see first hand my skills with my blades and gave me a promotion of sorts.
I was just below his soon to be traitorous 1st mate, and had a hand in many of his schemes. 2 more years have passed and we have recently heard tell of the treasure of Cortez, and have set out to find the Isla De Muerta Using Jack's magic compass. Now as much as I liked Jack, if I wanted the curse, I had to go along with the mutiny that Barbossa proposed and despite knowing what would happen I would even let them take out Bootstrap Bill.
I wasn't at all worried about the curse as I realized how I termed my wish to the ROB was that I would determine the downsides. I chose the downsides as the forever thirsty, starving, and lustful. And I chose the downside of my curse being removed by the ritual or the Trident and the moon showing my skeleton all the time. The curse could still be removed from everyone else, but I would keep the curse which would be more like a gift for me. I also could choose when to show my skeleton in the moonlight. I was not alive, but not dead either so I was essentially immortal and it would come in handy in the future.
We pillaged and pilfered from Isla De Muerta to Tortuga and ransacked any vessels we found. One such merchent vessel contained a specific person that I had to ensure the survival of to make sure the future didn't change too much. As the fires raged and the vessel sunk, I grabbed young will and thrust him upon a rather large floating piece of wreckage and watched from the very edge of the ship, leaning off the stern as I saw young Elizabeth on the British ship.
She looked at me in shock as I gave her a two finger salute with a slight nod of my head as my figure and the ship's disappeared into the fog.

(8 Years Later)
'Gasp!'
An older Elizabeth had just woken up after a dream about 8 years ago and the ship she saw and the pirate hanging from it and she thought he actually didn't seem like that bad a guy as from what she could see, he was waiting for confirmation of something and what else could it be but the safety of the young man, Will Turner.
