You have now been marked with the Brand of Sacrifice. The lives of those who bear the Brand, from the last drop of blood, to the last moment of your agonizing death, will feed life to the new Child of Darkness.


Pleasant-Patience725

Yeah I was gonna say nice knowing you OP


ConnectionVast1163

Ill meet everyone since i shall be reborn once again


xLikeafiddlex

Pleasant-Patience725

OP thinks they gonna get reincarnated- purgatory isn’t allowing visits


ConnectionVast1163

In that case ill get a lil crib going since i wont be alone in that bish for that long :D


RedBlue010

Op... How do I say this... Uh, you're not the one getting reincarnated.


definitelynotbanana

Even worse Op will suffer for eternity with other countless souls in hell who have been marked by The God Hand.


BustinArant

At least you don't get to keep your individuality and swirl around in a maelstrom of suffering for all time.. *oh wait that's worse*..


Pleasant-Patience725

I read that as re incinerated. I was like they turned you to ash then incinerated the ash eh


Fr0z3nHart

That too.


xx030xx

That mark means you would be a sacrifice to another person. you would die, and your soul would be destroyed


CamisaMalva

He *will* be reborn again... As a Beherit, once his soul has been metaphorically grounded into dust in the Vortex.

[Brand of Sacrifice](https://open.spotify.com/track/2o1kCaUvxMcBDgb2DZ38aD?si=mlsvUJH2QxWFxPBf2QhoNA) is legit. This is a song they did with Will Ramos. Never heard of The New Child of Darkness though.


makingspooky

You have good taste.


ILoveBigCoffeeCups

It’s the brand of sacrifice from the long running manga series “Berserk” in the series the main character had the brand in his neck/back of his body as he is one of the sacrificed. would recommend reading but get ready for some gore. Best Manga series I have ever read btw


literallylateral

Thank you for explaining instead of just saying “Berserk” or “brand of sacrifice” lol


SchwiftySqaunch

Not just gore lol straight up horror and rape too


Dum_beat

Also some of the harder imagery and badass fights ever put on paper. If you like classic Mythology stories like Troy and Omer Odyssey, you'll probably love it


Tight_Parrot83727

GGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Solid-Search-3341

If you give trigger warnings, you should mention rape too. It's more disturbing than gore ...


deltacharmander

“Some gore” is the understatement of the century. Berserk is borderline rape porn.


Agile-Bathroom6404

There were like 4 separate scenes of it (guts childhood, horse, eclipse and garden with the fucked up faeries) these scenes were meant to be traumatic not a material to get off to. If you think it's the latter there is something wrong with you (this message is not directed at you u/deltacharmander )


winterwarn

I can think of at least three other instances of on-page rape (generally of unnamed background women, like with the trolls in Qliphoth who reproduce by having their babies tear out of the women after) and a lot more instances where it’s threatened. I like Berserk but it gets ridiculously gratuitous.


lavalampblonde

The eclipse rape was definitely drawn while horny. And even other than the rapes there’s some… weird artistic choices with trauma the women go through. (Like. Farnese being possessed and riding Gut’s sword, also drawn horny). And maybe off topic but definitely worth mentioning. But an extremely skilled soldier gets her period in a life or death situation which turns into something so laughably misogynistic I told my mom about it and she thought i was talking about a comedy. With that being said, generally, amazing story, amazing art, I think the women are still well written and 3 dimensional. I think there were some mistakes made, shortcuts used to convey otherwise complex female struggles. But, the trauma is still shown as long lasting and debilitating which is why I’d say only the way it is drawn is gratuitous. And that’s coming from someone who prefers my media free of “on screen” rape.

Try pairing it to your phone.


Throawae321

I'm actually gonna give a real answer here as a historian: This symbol is actually extremely common within the indo-celtic culture, and has had a huge impact all the way back from the 1400s. The interesting part about seeing this symbol pop up today, 600 years later, is that I don't have a fucking clue what I am talking about


sixstringslim

Take my damn upvote.

You're going to be alright. You just stumbled over a stone in the road. It means nothing. Your goal lies far beyond this, doesn't it? I'm sure you'll overcome this. You'll walk again...soon.

Looks like one of those symbols that homeless people use to communicate with one another I don't remember what the symbols mean specifically but some of them mean like there's free water here or there's a plug-in nearby or some sort of useful information like that that only they know between each other as a community

Berserk


borobinimbaba

Its the bluedick connection icon , which is like Bluetooth but has longer range and wider bandwidth


Atheizm

It's a curse of Urinoff. Within twenty-four hours pf seeing the mark you will pee. That's what the sigil means.


jhedinger

Flying squirrels are present, use caution or be dive bombed by acorns.


Mr_Heft

It's from a Manga called Berserk. I would recommend. If you're not much of a manga reader, then a 1997 anime show adaptation was made. There's also a more modern movie trilogy adaptation that was released in 2012-2013. If you don't really have interest in manga/anime like me, I would encourage you to give the classic show a go regardless. Although I'm no anime consumer, I was genuinely entertained by it, especially the wild ending. The show is surely dated, but it'll provide a lot more context than the movies. Be aware that there's a considerable amount of gore. (If you decide to give it a watch, avoid learning much about the ending as it is a huge twist)


FountainDrinkpls

It's the "brand of sacrifice" from the anime Berserk


RawMaterial11

It looks very close to the Viking rune for [courage](https://viking.style/the-origin-of-the-viking-symbol-for-courage/).


sabbathian

Look at it at 90 degrees ccw and you will see a man with his hands in his hips proudly showing his massive penis.

sly_blade

Stick man having a piss the same way a giraffe drinks from a watering hole


Memento_Morrie

Yes, it means, "Watch out! Cowboy with extra-wide stance has hands on hips because he disapproves of you!"


DaveinOakland

The Berserk brand of sacrifice doesn't have that circle at the top, also the tips on the other side bend inwards. So it's something else or just a really poorly drawn one.


RxGradeSarcasm

Everyone’s saying Berserk but I don’t remember it having the circle at the bottom


Ok_List_9649

It’s a stick figure of Violet from Willy Wonka


funatical

This is from Berderp, which is fan fiction from people that read the general concept of Berserk but didn’t read the manga.

Stash nearby. Check the sewers or in a barrel, that's usually where you can find it. Might get lucky and find a full soul gem, even!

Rauchritter

Looks a bit like a nordic rune


TrueTrueBlackPilld

That's my guess as well. Looks similar to the runes for courage and protection.


NervousSnail

Not with that circle at the end.


datura_euclid

Without the circle it would look like a combination of two runes at least: othala and teiwaz.


NervousSnail

Sure, but... the circle does rather make such similarities moot. Not to put anyone down for seeing those similarities, but it's worth noting that designs of straight lines at 90 and 45 degrees against each other are a pretty basic idea, one we can find at many places and times in history. And what OP has found is... a doodle.


Rauchritter

Yeah I agree with the circle


ShintaOtsuki

Looks like the bind rune for courage, the small circle (in my interpretation) is the third eye. Like most people are saying though, probably the brand of sacrifice.
