" Hey, where are you? When I tried to call you it told me you weren't available." Felicia asked from the other side of the call
" Inside a star," I told her while using my connection to the machines on Earth to talk.
" Very funny, come on, where are you? I wanted to go out."
" Ok, something came up after school and I had to deal with it."
"... Is everything ok? Do you need help?"
" No, I already dealt with it, but I think it will take some time before I can go out with you again."
"Oh... fine." She said with an annoyed tone which she tried to mask, very badly.
" *Sigh, listen, I am dealing with something important that I would prefer not to do, as soon as I finish with it we can go out and I'll buy you whatever you want, fair trade?"
" You better prepare that credit card." She said while laughing.
After that, we said goodbye and ended the call.
Opening my eyes once again the only thing I could see was the multiple nuclear explosions that were fueling the star I was inside of, my body fully naked and being basked from the energy emanated by the star.

Smiling at the small but valuable gain, I think back on what had followed my fight with the fundamental beings of this universe, I had met Death, with the capital D. I told them to go fuck herself, not my brightest moment. Still, if they wanted me dead, a bit of asslicking wouldn't have brought me anywhere.
From the exchange, I gained some unexpected results though, gaining 2 of the 5 Absolute perks, for Str/Vit/End and Perception, leaving behind only Cha, Dex and Agi, if what I am thinking is right then Agi and Dex will unlock a combined perk like for Int and wis, but I have a 1000 points short to unlock them, and gaining them trough training would take more time then I want, so the best option is to level up, and to do that, I need to unlock a new class, something that I have been postponing for quite a while.

The choices went on and on, ending at 231 possible classes, using the effect of Absolute mind, time around me started moving like a snail, while I checked all the different bonuses from each class, and what would give me the biggest boosts in power, or at least some variety to my arsenal, because you can't ever be too sure that someone can't just stop most of the arsenal.
Feeling the effect of Absolute mind weakening I click on the class I had chosen for my future, something that I never thought I would ever pick, a melee class.

Before gaining this skill I thought I was a good fighter, along the 1% of this universe, but with this skill? I stand above the 1%, I am the representation of a One-Man-Army, able to wield all weapons with the same level of masteries and even use my body like a weapon itself.
Raising two fingers in front of my face, a dark aura surrounded them, taking the shape of a sword, wanting to try out my power, I slowly swung the finger-blade in front of my face.
Saying I got surprised would be an insult because that mere swing had destroyed a nearby cluster of meteors, I had done more damage than a nuke in just one swing, I am the nuke.
Smiling at the potential of this new skill, and the possibility of studying abyss mana, I teleport back to my home, confidence brimming from every pore of my body as I approach the work station Iris appears in her hologram form ( looks like Cortana) and began speaking.
" Sir, all the projects have been finished, and are just waiting for your command."
" Have all the bots placed the necessary enchantments on the World's Eye project?"
" Yes."
" All locations of Nathaniel Essex have been found and are ready to be nuked?"
" Yes"
"Have the nuclear reactors been created under my homes and connected to my mana batteries?"
"Yes"
Smiling in approval of my preparations, I looked at the screens with glee for what was about to happen, for what I was about to do because, in the oncoming future, I would stop being a mere human. After all, I am something far scarier them those meagre beings, I went through hell to achieve this power, because I am not just a Loner, I am The Gamer, the being with limitless potential, and I will abuse the hell out of it.
" Commence all operations."

The world went into chaos, what had until that point been a normal day, all went down the gutter after several locations all around the world, just disappeared, yes disappeared, the nukes I create are nothing like the ones made by normal people, I can decide what it destroyed even on a conceptual level, and by imprinting the will to only destroy the things related to Sinister I was able to erase him and all of his bases from existence, or what would what I would say if the cockroach hadn't a power similar to my danger sense and didn't teleport his main body out of range of the explosion, thus escaping death, but not for long.
You see, the World's eyes aren't just normal satellites, they are made with magic, tech, and pure paranoia, they could regenerate themselves, and they were intelligent enough to obey my orders and go through the best route, with enough enchantments to make even the Ancient One look at it in shame.
And so with a simple order to find Nathaniel Essex, I already knew his location, and I am seeing the panic on his face while trying to understand what the fuck happened.
Wanting to try out my Space manipulation, I bent the space between me and him to make it just a step. All it would take to travel to another country was just a step for me.
" You are quite the cockroach, Nathaniel Essex."
I felt several types of powers trying to control my body and my mind, from simple suggestion inducement to telepathy, from telekinesis to blood manipulation, the fucker had more powers than even I did, but his control over them was rubbish at best, his telekinesis wasn't able to change the structure of someone's DNA as I can.
" You have been trying to impose your will on others for far too long, it's time I do the same to you."
My mana started to move inside my body, the amount causing the air around me to tremble and all the living beings in 50 km to feel like they were suffocating. My mana had reached a point that even starting wouldn't be able to replenish all of it.
"Speak," I said using Mana's words, I want to hear why he would do this because I can see it in his eyes, his wish for survival and hate for death.
Hearing the tale of his life, and his meeting with Apocalypse made me realize that even though I thought I knew everything about this world, there still were things I had never heard of, what the fuck are celestials, on how big of a nuke do I have to make to kill one?
