I went to the center, cracking my fingers and warming up my body.

"For the fighter from the Elden City, one of the most feared fighters in the city, it is IIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSS, BIIIIIIIIIILLLL!" The announcer announced.

Bill came out of the other side spreading his arms, his team and randoms are applauding him. He stretched his body and cracked his fingers. We went to the middle, facing each other. He has a big body compared to me; I am nearly at his height. The referee raised his hand between us.

"3...2...1....FIGHT!"

I kicked the side of his head as soon as the match started. I kicked his head again backwards and kicked him right on his face. Bill went backwards touching his face, chuckling. He looked at me right in the eye and started running towards me. Bill raised his arm ready to hit.

I bent my neck to the right and avoided Bill's attack. I charged my left arm for a counter-attack... wait, charged my left arm? I looked at my left arm; it was full of blazing aura. I am not angry or feeling an adrenaline rush, but why is my ability activated? I turned around and punched Bill on the back.

Bang!

Bill staggered, touching the area I hit. I could hear people in awe. Bill turned around to face me.

"It is just the start of the fight, and you already reveal yours, but I didn't see it. I wonder what it looked like," Bill said to me.

We started clashing, exchanging punches, but we kept on blocking each other's hits. I tried to kick him, but he caught my leg. He tried to do a counter-attack, but I hit the arm away with my left arm. My charge won't ever go away until it hits something or someone. I grabbed him and threw him away.

He sprinted at me and grabbed my neck. He threw me to the ground and went on top of me, I charged my arm and hit his face.

Bang!

He stood up quickly after feeling the powerful hit he just received. He rubbed his face where I hit him, I stood up.

"Is that your power I just saw? Just charging your hits? The longer the charge, the higher the hit, similar to stacking. Did I guess it right? Pathetic. Then I'll show you mine," Bill said to me.

Tick.

Huh? My vision suddenly turned black; all I see is darkness and red numbers.

0 0 0.

Suddenly, the words started shuffling.

Shuffle.

1 Shuffle.

1 1 Shuffle.

1 1 1.

1 1 1? I don't know what it means; it just says 1 1 1.

Tick.

My vision came back; I'm facing Bill just like before. I looked around to see if it changed anything; just only the crowds whispering and talking to each other loudly. Does that mean they saw it too?

"Want to know my ability? Then listen carefully. At the start of a match, I automatically gain 1 stack per 1 ability. The number on the right is strength, in the middle is defense, and on the left is speed. How can I gain a stack? Every 3 minutes, I gain 2 stacks only per 3 minutes. I can put the stack to the 3 abilities depending on what ability I want to add a stack. My full stack is only up to 20. 1 stack in strength gives me strength similar to the strength of carrying a 10lbs dumbbell. 1 stack in defense gives me 6, which reduces my opponent's damage on me, and 1 stack of speed gives me speed similar to 4 meters per second. If I gain all 20 stacks, all of my 3 abilities gain 5 stacks as a bonus and reward for reaching the maximum stack. But I can't use the 5 stacks to give it to another ability, so it means it's permanent. Every time I want to add a stack in an ability or gain 2 stacks after 3 minutes pass, you will see 3 digit numbers just like you saw a minute ago. You see my friend over there? He can stack defense up to 30 maximum defense. That guy over there can stack defense and strength, and his maximum stack is 25. They are just like me, stacking. Now that you know, are you ready to get crushed?"

That was a lot, but I understand it. I nodded at him. He suddenly charged at me; he's a bit faster than before. I charged my right arm and made an X shape with my arms to defend the incoming attack.

Bill pushed me with his shoulder. I could feel that I am falling down; my defense broke. Bill tugged my shirt and carried me; he threw me to the ground. I tried to stand up but suddenly he grabbed and smashed me behind him; he carried me up high, let go of my leg, and kicked me in the stomach.

I flew up but not that high; I stood up.

Tick.

Shuffle.

3 Shuffle.

3 1 Shuffle.

3 1 1.

Tick.

Wait, 3 minutes have passed already? Oh yeah, the time he's yapping about his power. Shit, I have to fight carefully; he said strength is on the right, defense in the middle, and speed on the left. 2+1 equals 3, so that means he puts the 2 stacks on strength.

I looked at Bill; his muscles got a little bit bigger than before, looks like I'm understanding it now; I'm really not that good of a learner. I ran straight forward to Bill; Bill made an X shape with his arm to defend himself, but his stomach is wide open. I readied my arm to be ready to punch.

Ting.

What was that sound? The sound came from my right arm and sounded familiar. Oh right, I remember now; it's the sound if your charge is fully charged or all of your animal's aura went to you. I can now hit him with the maximum bite force of my gigantosaurus.

BANG!

Bill's face is full of hurt; he went flying a lot of feet away. The audience caught him to prevent him from flying out of bounds. Bill took deep breaths; shit, the hit is not enough to make him unconscious. I charged my arm again to get ready. Bill is now in good condition.

"I didn't know you were a dangerous one, but I'll fight carefully this time."
