Simon stared at the screen that had appeared before him, the faint hum of lightning from the storm outside still buzzing in his ears.
"So how the hell does this work, anyway?" he muttered to himself. His mind raced, the concept of his new ability still unfamiliar, still strange.
The screen blinked once more, displaying the description of his skill:
[Blood Burst (LV.1): Can unleash a burst of blood that will shoot forward at a singular point. The sharpness and speed of the attack depend on how much blood is poured into it.]
"Sounds easy enough," Simon muttered, though he wasn't entirely sure what he had expected. Still, it was a power, and power could be useful, especially in a world like this.
The storm outside raged on, the sound of acid rain striking the windows, making Simon shiver.
He could hear the faint sizzling of the pavement melting under the rain, a reminder of the world he now inhabited.
