Paleblood
A term used in the hit fromsoftware/Sony game BloodBorne. It is a major part of the lore even though Paleblood is undoubtedly one of the most mysterious elements in the entire lore of Bloodborne. It is referenced in a few moments, but never in a way that explicitly states what it is, what it does, or where it comes from.
When players finish creating their Origin, and after being administered blood by a Blood Minister, they awake in Iosefka's Clinic, in a room with a mere note that says:
"Seek Paleblood to transcend the hunt."
And so, regardless of its origin, utilities, or even the form it takes, Paleblood becomes the goal of the player. To transcend means to ascend or in the world it means to become a god or a Great One in the BB lore. Just like the moon presence, orphan of Kosm and many others. That when consuming 3 thirds of an umbilical cord, you will become a great one after killing the moon presence and after the final boss cinematic takes place.

Hunter: Hey I’m looking for this Paleblood stuff, have you heard of it?
Gilbert: Paleblood? If you’re looking for blood try the church.
Hunter: Thank you.
