The Anomaly practiced with his weapon after discovering Nodes were achieved by what the system deems an important event in the Users journey. He had yet to begin a journey so he would have to wait on using Nodes, soon he had grown bored of twirling this sickle on a chain and wished to venture out however the System had changed it's condition.
[Further Investigation of Anomaly required to reassess initial dismissal]
Soon he received a string of messages telling him had received several items.
[Anomaly should attempt using spells it has received]
Nodding he looked at the list and used the most basic, the standard Fireball. It flew from his hand a little ways before fizzling out.
[Use new spells received]
This time the system seemed to bing with its message.
The Anomaly didn't hesitate and fired a black ball that impacted the wall with great force.
[Anomaly is dangerous, running patching program and will soon correct error]
Came the message as the system sent out a special event to a select few it felt were of adequate level and prestige.
Soon a portal was opened and the first of the Systems error correction force appeared, the Anomaly seemed to understand what was going on and instinctively dashed forward and plunged his sickle into the heart of his opponent causing a new ability to be revealed to him.
As the other user died his heart began to rapidly decay and it was transported out of the area.
[Ability Corrupt has been unlocked]
Seeing this the Anomaly placed his hand onto the dead user and watched as their body began to twist and bend until it had taken the form of an ashy spider.
[Anomaly has created first minion]
The system message was ignored in favor of the two people who were swinging hammers at him, a boy girl duo with matching feminine features.
Flipping backwards the anomaly yanked his chain which snapped together encircling the two around the neck without a second thought he gave another rough jerk and the two were dead however this time there was no option to corrupt and no transportation of the heart.
Instead he pilfered through their pockets and found some items he thought were interesting.
'Tonic' thought the Anomaly and he suddenly found himself feeling rejuvenated.
Soon another duo was dropped in but this time the Anomaly found himself blown away by a barrage of magic spells.
Gritting his teeth he looked towards the ashy spider that had followed him to this location.
'Well aren't you going to attack them' thought the Anomaly finding the spider able to read his thoughts as it sneakily scuttled across the floor and a scream was heard as the spider drank the body dry of fluids and the shriveled husk began to twist and became a skinnier version of the first spider.
The two spiders then took down the last mage leaving three spiders in it's wake as the scuttled back to the anomaly.
[It will be irresponsible to continue sending users, note that system challenges will be set more intensely in order to exterminate error]
With that final message the Anomaly heard the door to his space click and open allowing him freedom.<
