"What the!?" John and Mark were surprised as they stared at the panel before them. Touching the panel curiously.
"Is this this some kind of prank?" John asked but no one answered him.
"Hmm, Weird." Mark surveyed around the Cafe and found other people were also surprised by the sudden appearance of the strange panel.
"Looks like an AR." Le Fey touches the panel but it seems it is not interactable. "World Evolution? Is this some kind of grand scheme that exists in stories?"
Anne "You read stories?" Her eyes shone upon hearing it.
"Yeah, I love fantasy novels and some comics in my spare time." Le Fey scratches her cheek with her forefinger meekly. She is quite shy about talking about her hobby.
"I-I also love reading novels too." Anne began chatting with Le Fey about the types of novels they read. Natasha also joined their conversation despite not knowing about the topic, for some reason was eager to know more.
Mark looked outside and saw everyone on the road stopping in their tracks.
"Guys, look at this." Syko pointed out.
"Huh? What's wrong?" John turned his head to Syko and asked, a little puzzled from where he pointed out.
"Wait, you don't see this? Hmm?" Syko rubs his chin. "Try thinking 'Status Open'."
"Woah! Something appeared!" John shouted. "Everyone, look, there is a weird thing popped out!"
"What's wrong John?" The girls and Mark look at him confused.
"Hmm, as expected, no one can see them but ourselves. This is like a game." Syko muttered under his breath.
"Syko told me to think 'Status Open' and this appeared out of nowhere," John explained to them with excitement. "It seems, it knows my name. How do things work? Attributes? Skills? Unique ability? Max level?"
Mark and the girls thought 'Status Open' then their status opened.
Syko glanced at his status and sighed.
[Name: Syko Silo
Race: Human
Level: 1 (Max: 10)
Attributes,
STR: 8 (10)
AGI: 7 (10)
END: 12 (10)
STA: 11 (10)
INT: 4 (4)
MGC: 0
Skills,
OCD(Repetition) level 8, Gaming level 5
Unique Ability,
Rebirth, ??? ]
Syko is well-versed in the game, so he knows how this status works. His face crumpled as he saw his status.
"No wonder I felt lacking in intellect."
He tapped at the Attributes. As expected it was like in games. STR represents one's strength and power, AGI; Agility and Dexterity, END; Endurance and Defense, STA; Stamina, INT; Intelligence and Comprehension, MGC; magic and mana.
Syko's mouth twitched at the sight of his skills. 'What the heck is this mocking me?'
He taps at his skills.
[OCD (Repetition) lvl 8
-The user has an obsessive disorder in enjoying Repetitive actions.
+2 STA +2 END]
[Gaming lvl 5
-The user frequently plays games.]
'Aren't these skills useless?' Syko grumbled. It really is mocking him up.
Shaking his head he tapped the thing that caught his attention. Unique ability does not have levels as it grows with the user.
[Rebirth
-When the user reaches the max level, this skill will be available. After reaching the maximum level, the user should die to trigger the skill. After the skill is activated the user will go back 5 minutes before death.
All appointed attributes will reduced to 25% after Rebirth. The user level will go back to 1.
Warning, The User should not die before reaching Max Level.
When the user reaches 10 rebirths, the user's max level will increase by 10.]
"This!" Syko's eyes widened in shock. Such a powerful ability. Although this ability is amazing, it has harsh requirements to activate.
"Do you guys have Unique Abilities?" Syko asked his friends.
"Yeah." Le Fey nodded. "My Unique ability is called Healing. Sounds weak but don't be surprised because this ability has no energy consumption, it uses the power of the world. If I reach the high level I can heal severe wounds or decapitated limbs."
"What the fuck! OP healing!" Syko was shocked. It appears that Unique Ability is OP.
"Mine is called Cuckold King!" Mark said with delight as his body shivered. "The more my girlfriends slept with another man, the stronger I get!"
"What the fuck! Isn't this Unique ability just about our characteristics?" John exclaimed. "Mine is not great but it's called, The Wise Man. As it sounds, the more I level up the wiser I get. I don't really know how that works."
"This sounds so ordinary like yours but it gives me 1 extra attribute every level up!" John added with a grin.
"Fuck! That's cheating bro!" Syko shouted. He grabs John's shoulder and shakes him up. "Mine is called Rebirth, I need to reach max level and die to use the ability."
"What! Isn't that more OP than ours?" Le Fey interrupted. "How much do you retain? 100%? 50%?"
Le Fey also plays games with him. But not a manic like him who keeps creating hundreds of accounts before selling them. Like average players, she only has one. She also knows the concept of Rebirth. They played a certain game before where you can use rebirth to make your character stronger the more Rebirths you have.
"25% it's so little," Syko grumbled. "Speaking of max level what are your guys?"
"500!" Le Fey excitedly shouted!
"500!" John also said.
"666!" Mark said.
"399" Anne added.
"691," Natasha said.
Anne then spoke."I don't really want to share my ability... It's called Bigger is Better, Bitch... Uuuhh the more I get railed by a large thing in my cove. I gained extra attributes."
"Then get railed by Syko!" Mark's eyes shone upon hearing her words. Instead of disgust, he was excited to hear that.
Anne became silent as she was still not open to cheating even tho it was her Boyfriend who suggested it. "Let me consider."
"Good! You don't have to be worried. I will still accept you for who you are." Mark circles his arm around her back.
Syko watches Anne with interest. Although she's a ginger, she is still a beauty regardless. Her ample breast is bigger than Le Fey's. Those pouty red lips though, he loves to see them suck his thing.
"Anyways, Nat what's yours?" Le Fey nudged Natasha at the side who wore a complicated expression.
Natasha "Like Anne, I don't want to share it but I know I can't hide it. John babe, please forgive me. It's not like I wanted this..." A tear dropped from her eyes.
"What gives? John rubbed her shoulders and became worried.
"My Ability is sickening, I think you hate me for it," Natasha said with a hoarse voice. It appears she struggles to say it
"Come, let us hear it. You know that there is no secret in this group. No matter how ridiculous it is we will share it. Remember?" John said seriously as he stared at her eyes full of worry. He also felt a bad foreboding feeling from what she wanted to say.
The group of friends decided to have no secret to hide. Even if it's a little itsy bitsy thing, they have to share it no matter how fucked up it is. Even if you shat your pants during class or get raped.
Even if your secret is known to them, the group will have no choice but to accept you for who you are. This group is not for weak-willed and close-minded people. In other words, it's a group of psychos.
"Uh, My ability is called Guilty Pleasure... I have to engage in intercourse with another man other than you. The more I do it, the more I feel the guilt and pleasure but in exchange for extra attributes." Natasha shared her ability.
"Isn't that what I'm doing to you?" Syko said nonchalantly. "Though, it's a fucked up ability. Isn't that more of a curse?"
"... I gained 5 attribute points every time I did it. However, the guilt will be painful yet I will seek it. The duration of the guilt will be 1:1 (day)."
"Fuck! In addition to your max level being the highest you gain 5 attribute points every session, isn't that more Overpowered than our ability!" Syko shouted in disbelief earning a glare from other people in the cafe. "Oh yeah, My max level is 10."
"Too low!" Le Fey exclaimed. "But considering your ability it is suited for you."
"However, Every 10 rebirts my level also rises to 10. I don't how the experience works but I think it will be very to level up in the future." Syko contemplated.
As the group discusses their things without censorship. Suddenly, out of nowhere, the ground shook making everyone panicked.
"Everyone get out in order, don't panic!" The manager of the store loudly shouted at his customers.
However, as he said so, outside the store, the people and cars were in a state of chaos.
[Choose your weapon]
Another panel appeared before them.
Syko watches as the passerby outside gets lunged by a hideous-looking dog. It's flesh rotting and green goo leaking from it. It tears the passerby apart. The victim screamed for help but no one helped them as the people outside were also in panic seeing a monster-like creature tearing apart people.
Syko stared hard at the monster and saw a panel of the monster above its head.
[Zombie Dog lvl 1]
Ding [Gaming skill, Hidden skill activated. Gamer Mind, Gamer Body activated.]
Seeing such grotesque happening before, not only was he calm but did not flinch at the sight. Gamer Mind, like the comic he read before at the suggestion of Le Fey, would think this is a game not feel fear. Gamer's body, like so, his body will not receive physical damage and only a slight pain and loss of health points.
[Name: Syko Silo
HP: 100/100
SP: 100/100
MP: 0/0 ]
In contrast to Syko, his friends became scared at the sight. Le Fey, Anne, and Natasha throw up while clutching their stomach. Mark and John paled at the sight.
"Snap out of it everyone! Choose your weapon first!" Syko looks at the list of weapons on the panel. He picked the most picked-out weapon in the history of gaming. A sword. Overrated but he was more into swords than any weapon when playing games. As his mind became a Gamer mind, He remembered those RPG games he played the movement, and skills.
