Opening my eyes, i slowly see collapsed rubble around me, through the broken concrete i can hear screaming, what happened?
i think for a moment, trying to remember a few seconds before all this, i was on my way to the train, and then… the ground collapsed over me!!!
Why though? And why… cant i move?
ah… my arms stuck in a metal rebar, power kicked in automatically, no pain, thats… nice
[bzzt: integrating: power currently in use —> unusual internal energy]
what-
[power can be converted and awakened —> psychonic system]
excuse me brain-
[pros: can be raised in potential exponentially, can use a diverse cast of "skills" cons: cannot leave bounds of skill descriptions, loses current progress of power]
ok, old world comics are making me hallucinate, or maybe I'm not, anything's possible
[accepted= gain converted power, declined=current ability will be changed to —> internal energy control, potential will increase to a medium degree, and power will be boosted greatly in strength]
i open my mouth, not caring if its real, ill just die anyways, my voice is raspy "accept…"
[CONGRATULATIONS]
a screen pops up in front of me
[you have accepted and have been set to level 0, please kill something to prove your potential, anything will do, the stronger the be-]
i kill a cockroach, one with one leg left, I'm not gonna be killing a deathclaw so who the fuck cares
[eager, we like that, good good, medium telekinetic manipulation has been added to your skills as a reward for your eagerness]
"…skills…"
a screen pops up, with one work and its description
[new skills —> trigger: pulls the trigger of anything within range, limited to literal triggers, keyword needed for activation, please set]
"Bang" i chuckle, amused by my own bad pun
[keyword for trigger set: bang]
Now… onto the rebar… what?
i look over and my arms been removed and fully healed, along with the rest of my body, i grunt and stand up, unable to see in the dark
"please…" i inhale, focusing on my surroundings and what i want to trigger "bang"
i hear a snap and a wand lighter sparks a small flame from an unopened package
"Bloody hell, thanks stranger for going shopping" i shuffle over, letting the flame die before opening the packaging and lighting it by hand
"Is there no mana gauge or anything?"
[good question, using a skill will drain the appropriate amount of stamina as it would for a normal person, the more stiff the trigger for example, the more stamina used]
"...... if its question time, how do i learn more of these skills?"
[level is the amount of skills you can learn, right now, you may only use trigger, once you get to level two, you will be able to learn another]
"does my level correlate to anything else?"
[it will increase your strength, speed, and resistance respectively, also giving you a healthy boost to stamina, no boost to what would be considered health, speaking of 50/100]
"I feel fine?"
[health is not standard from your memory's, think of it as a unregistered regen skill, which means it will not be affected by vitality increasing items, but regeneration boosters]
"so, when i get injured, and reach 0, its not death, but like a final life?"
[if you wish to think like that, yes]
"may i see my exp bar?"
[0/50]
not bad, not bad at all…
