'Well, I lied when I said it would be the biggest day ever' Victor thought as he didn't know what to do with the chaos that was occurring on campus 'Shit we shouldn't have gotten closer' as he looked at Elizabeth without an arm.
“Listen Elizabeth, hold the blood in your arm with your skill, I know it hurts but hold on darling.”
Elizabeth, with a frown and pale complexion, nodded while holding the stump of her left arm. “D-Don't blame yourself, Victor, this wasn't your fault.”
Victor shook his head as he carried her on his back and they ran from the chaos occurring behind them.
“SHIT, we should have been more careful” Victor said while remembering how they got to this stage.
-------
Early in the morning Victor and Elizabeth got out of bed.
“Good morning, dear,” Victor said as he kissed her on the cheek and got up to prepare breakfast.
“Hey, today a lot of knowledge appeared about letters and what I assume are runes, and their meanings are water magic spells, I also got a new energy called mana in my state” Elizabeth said while eating the waffles.
“Maybe they are from the evolution of your ability and since it is your unique ability you know its meanings, let me replicate it” and so he did, when he tried the ability scribbles came to his mind that he did not fully understand.
“How do you use it? I also got the 50/50 mana, I guess it's an energy evolution? Maybe energy is the basic one and then go to other types of energy depending on the skill maybe. Well I don't know, so could there be an aura or those things that we read in myths? “Were there powers in ancient times?”
“I also saw that in forums, well it's just the first day of awakening” saying that Elizabeth created a kind of circle with scribbles on it and water came out of it “the main difference I find is that mana can create water or something like that.” "With control I could only use the existing water, I can use it to conjure many things, a large amount of knowledge came and I have to study it"
“Yes, I have thought about it and maybe with my control of infinity I can grant us unlimited energy” Victor imagined putting the infinity symbol in the mana, energy and resistance statistics in his state and these changed to the ♾️ sign.
“Hahaha Elizabeth it works!!!!, come I'll give you the same”
Elizabeth approached and showed him her status. “Victor, if I can also show you my status, it means that there will be controls in the future, people asking for information about abilities, there may even be some with abilities aimed at espionage or that reveal information.”
“I know and that's what worries me, 'what do you do when you find an extremely powerful individual'”
“Well, if I put myself in the place of some Machiavellian I will try to subdue him or control him, or eliminate him, it is a threat, right?”
“You were always strange haha it's scary when you think like that”
“I'm just a realist, seeing your abilities I don't doubt that there are others like them, and I don't think they are all saints”
“Let's try the resistance” saying that Victor and Elizabeth did anaerobic exercises for 2 hours straight and they didn't sweat at all.
“hahaha we have the jackpot”
“Could you imagine giving infinite regeneration or something?”
“That was one of the things I tried at night, I couldn't sleep much, I replicated my body, an interesting thing is that I replicated, soul, body and skills, I only had the skills that I had replicated and not my main three, I guess Is it because it is a product of the replica or are they non-replicable powers? Well, getting back to the case, you won't like what happened, it is much more complicated to give infinity to living beings, my replicated body began to develop gigantic tumors and well “died”.
“Brutal,” said Elizabeth, “maybe because the cells divided non-stop?”
“I think so, well it's getting late. Let’s go to campus.” Saying that Elizabeth and Victor grabbed the car and went to the university campus.
“Hello Victor, hello Elizabeth,” said a young woman with curly hair when they entered the classroom.
“Hello Janet, how are you?” Victor said, passing her hand and replicating everything about her.
“Well haha with the whole awakening thing, it's crazy, have you turned the roulette wheel yet?”
“Yes, although we only had one class ability and you already turned it, there is only less than a day left and the roulette wheel disappears, maybe you will be left without powers.”

“Well, all this made me a little nervous and I'll leave it for later, come on in, there's a meeting.”
They entered the room and sat down, the teacher on duty entered, “good morning dear students, we have a meeting in the front patio, the dean will give some news.
Saying that, the professor saluted and asked everyone to follow him.
They arrived at the patio and saw the dean with a microphone saying good morning and saying “with everything about the awakening and the widening of the planet we hope that everything continues as usual so there will be no suspension of classes, everything will continue as always, and we ask "Let them not use their powers on campus, but if they are oriented toward destruction," saying that, the dean came out.
“Let's go Elizabeth” Victor walked and Elizabeth followed him, he replied to everyone he touched. Another thing he noticed was that he could only replicate through touch. He tried with Elizabeth with a water appendage and using replication through it and it didn't work. .
“What will we do Victor?”
“Reply to as many people as possible, and see if they have any good skills, then we will go to the supermarkets, gun stores, we will prepare for everything.”
"Okay"
Víctor was surprised when he saw others use their powers, he saw how one had sparks coming out of his fingers, another could conjure fire, he tried to ask others what they had and they answered in the negative "it's incredible how just yesterday we were all normal and they're already following the same path." current, I thought they would be bragging about everything”
“Well you're not wrong, and here's one, there are always Neanderthals,” Elizabeth said, pointing to a guy with a clique behind him, the typical “successful” athletic guy.
“Yes, you know how stupid Jhon is as always.”
“I'm sure he's going to Alex again, there's nothing that can be done, he was born in a golden cradle.” Saying that, Elizabeth saw how John approached Alex, a normal boy. The 'victim' of her and began to bother him, soon she was surprised because the thing escalated to something bigger.
/_/_/_/
Alex looked at the stupid man that he hated to the core 'I was looking for you, son of a bitch' he thought as he looked at his state and saw his S rank ability, Air Control, Alex walked with confidence. He was sure that this could help him get revenge.
“H-hello Jhon, how are you?” he said as he saw Jhon approaching.
“Well, I mean, little rat,” said Jhon as he directly grabbed Alex by the neck and lifted him up.
“Ahhhhrg, what's wrong with you son of a bitch” said Alexander as he couldn't take it anymore and directly used his ability to create an air blade and cut off Jhon's hand.
“Ahhh my arm,” Jhon said as he threw Alex against the wall. “Why did you do this to me, son of a bitch,” he said as he threw himself after Alex.
“Hey Victor, what are we doing, this is getting out of control,” Elizabeth said as she watched Jhon and Alex fight. “Should we stop them?”
“No, what if they attack us?” While saying that, he saw how the other two who followed Jhon, one emanated fire from his hands and the other controlled the kind of sticky liquid that flowed from his pores.
A crowd began to gather and the worst thing is that they didn't help, they took out their phones and started recording. There was even one who was streaming.
Jhon ran after Alex who began to levitate, the one with the hands with sticky liquid was able to hit one of Alex's legs against the wall when he was about to gain height "Fill, Len, keep him there" Jhon said while holding his bleeding arm .
“Why the hell are you bothering me, I haven't done anything to them, I've been putting up with them for a whole fucking year” Alex replied while accumulating air in the shape of a crescent.
“Why else but fun, I can do whatever I want, I was born with that right” said Jhon while laughing out loud, the wound he had stopped bleeding, in a few hours he would be as good as new “but now that I have awakened a rank A skill, "The new world will be for the strong, you have no place in this rubbish, I bother you because your mere presence displeases me."
“Just for that, JUST FOR THAT?” Alex shouted, “I thought about sparing their lives, but they deserve to die garbage.”
After that, blinded by his anger, he used almost all his energy on the half-moon blade that was about 3 meters long and threw it towards Jhon diagonally.
“Move, you bitches,” Jhon said, but his reaction was late and the blade cut him in half from his right shoulder to his left thigh.
“Kyaaaa” shouted the people gathered to watch the spectacle, the blade traveled at the speed of a bullet, almost no one could avoid it.
“BE CAREFUL” Victor shouted as he moved Elizabeth out of the way of the blade but he was a few seconds late and ended up slicing her right arm.
“Ahhhrg” Elizabeth screamed as her face turned pale from the pain of losing a limb.
Victor carried Elizabeth and ran from the place while he saw how Alex seemed possessed and attacked left and right, the building was about to collapse on them and the others inside. He saw how the blade reached what he assumed was 100 meters and dissipated, leaving behind several severed bodies, there were even some still alive and dying.
“Shit, Elizabeth, stop the blood with your ability, hold on.”
“Y-yes.”
He continued running until he was outside the campus, in the distance he saw police patrols coming and the building where everything happened collapsed, a trail of smoke rose from the rubble and flew towards the horizon.
“That son of a bitch escaped.”
“N-no, it's your fault, that air thing was going too fast, this is worse, so many people suddenly getting power.”
“I will put you in my storage, you will be in stasis there, no time passes, I will look for a user of regenerative ability” Victor said as he placed a kiss on Elizabeth's forehead while she trembled from the pain.
“Y-yes, honey, don't blame yourself for something we couldn't foresee” after saying that Elizabeth disappeared.
Victor frowned and thought 'I swear I'll kill that trash' as he clenched his fist and did his best to control his rage.
“Now where the hell do I find a regenerative or healing ability user” he thought as he felt more relieved, he was sure that Elizabeth was fine since he was seeing her in his storage, he was able to mentally see and filter the things inside the warehouse.
After that a few days passed, he took his blood for a DNA test and it came out positive that it was his blood, he published on networks, pages and others that he was looking for a user of healing or regenerative ability and offered a good sum of money 'since he felt curiosity about what those skills looked like' as an excuse.
There was also news of people who didn't spin the wheels, well, they didn't get anything. They remained muggles in a world where almost all of humanity gained powers.
Víctor was at home, on the couch while watching television and waiting for some message or news about what he published on the Internet.

[End of report]
He turned off the television and saw the date October 25, “there are 18 fucking days until the stopwatch ends and no one still responds to what I post, FUCK”
Victor said as he punched the wall in frustration, frustrated by Elizabeth's condition and everything that has happened so far.
"Haha, I'm going to sleep, tomorrow I'm going to collect supplies and look for a healing user," Victor said as he went to the room, although he didn't need to sleep if he had the rune active, he needed it to rest his mind, so he deactivated the infinity symbol of resistance and a deep sleep invaded him, he entered his storage to sleep next to Elizabeth.
