Feeling my excitement bubbling up I took a deep breath and spoke "Monster City."
And like I always saw in post apocalyptic movies the whole city was trashed, cars were on fire or squished and buildings with holes in them or completely toppled over and there were zombies, trolls, wyverns and various other creatures running around the place.
But there were also other people here no doubt power levelling and some were using power sets from various fictional characters.
That woman used a Rasengan, the other guy is Flying and using Heat Vision and someone is using Psionic Constructs like Green Lantern does Will Constructs. Oh there's a real life HULK too, man it's all becoming underwhelming huh?
Drawing upon my mana I created 2,000 mana arrows and launched them at level 20 zombies and controlled them for 2,000 instant kill head shots and thankfully their loot automatically enters my Inventory.

"FUCK ME! So now I'm Immortal? Oh that's just perfect now I can have real fun." Stepping off the Space Needle and hitting the ground killing a couple Ghouls before running straight for 'The Big Guy' aka the Titan.
Accelerating straight to Mach 1 and jumping I just straight up punch the damn thing throwing it skyward with cracks spider webbing through its torso and drop back to earth where I heel drop on its stomach breaking and killing it and creating a small impact crater on the road.
Looking at the horde of zombies stumbling towards me I see a couple guys who no doubt think men are superior laughing at me so I decide to prove them wrong.
Gathering mana into my hands I cup them over each other and attune them to lightning and fire while drawing every spec of knowledge I have about physics and specifically, plasma.
Taking a particular stance the guys instantly recognize what I'm doing and get out of the line of fire before I throw my hands forward after the plasma stabilizes with my mana containing it and fire the plasma as a beam at the horde of a hundred zombies incinerating them.
"Hey David, did that chick just recreate the Kamehameha? Damn I'm jealous of that girl. Haa well let's go somewhere else." Listening to the three stooges talk and walk away I turn around and saw even more zombies coming my way but I was low on mana so I decided to try something.
I ran toward the zombie at the front of the horde and didn't put an ounce of force behind the punch, just as much speed as my body could produce, which was nearly 16 times the speed of sound.
The resulting shockwave and mini explosion killed over a hundred zombies netting me another level before I jumped high and landed on the underside of a broken windowsill in a 6 story building before pushing myself off using my Partial Tactile Telekinesis to keep the building from breaking and smashing into the center of the zombies creating another shockwave killing the rest for another level.
Walking around the area I collected my loot and ran to the top of a nearby intact building to sort through my new collection of items.
So I got a LOT of raw materials, a book on basic magic, a book on blacksmithing, a basic enchanting book from the titan and some store credits, but no potions sadly.
Shrugging I left monster city and sped home thankful that the Sentinels prevent breaking and entering and pretty much all other crimes inside safe zones and the obvious loophole of dragging someone outside the safe zone to harm them has been fixed with a monitoring system to track such attempts since it can see through anything and the sentinels can't be harmed or hacked due to their 'Indestructible' and 'unhackable' traits, plus they can freely teleport.
Sitting down I started reading the books and getting the skills before realizing that I have none of the needed tools to use enchanting so for the first time I opened the store.
Welcome to the Store Enhancements Weapons Armor Accessories Books Support
Selecting the support tab and the Tools sub tab I found individual tools and tool kits so I narrowed the list further by selecting {Enchanting} and {Complete Tool Sets} and found 5 sets of enchanting tools.
The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.
Obviously the best was the most expensive but that cost 1,000,000 credits but I didn't need the best with the benefits so I picked the 'All purpose Enchanting set' which cost 40,000 credits and could be used for everything that enchanting could do and be used for.
Once the set was in my Inventory I walked to my basement which has few things inside it and selected the auto place for my enchanting set which shows me a 'hologram' of the set up equipment and placed it in a corner to the left of the stairs with the benches against the walls.
Sitting at the bench I grab my shoes and place them in the enchanting circle and recall the runic language and piece together the enchanting structure with the runes.
As I finish putting them together I placed the Permanency enchantment over the Durability enchantment and start pouring mana into the shoes with the combined enchantments in mind.
Surprisingly it took a quarter of my mana for such a enchantment so I started enchanting the rest of my clothes with the Durability enchantments until I had completed them although I was dangerously low on mana so I started meditating until I was full again before repeating the process with self repair enchantments which thankfully took less mana.
Opening my Status screen I saw I had 34,470 stat points so I did an even distribution of 30,000 between Intelligence and Wisdom and split the rest.
As I finished I noticed that It was the end of the day and had some dinner in the form of Alfredo but as I washed the dishes it was then that I realized that everything had happened in only a single day, and that my ability is extremely OP considering my stats compared to my level.
Falling asleep I thought on what to do tomorrow before deciding to run around the original continents just because I can.
--Next Day--
Getting up in the morning I got ready in my reinforced clothes which Is just my exercise clothes and ran out for the ocean after placing waypoints on my map to guide me to my start point and around the continents before coming home for school since it's still happening apparently.
But before I start I should assign my stat points, opening my status screen shows 108,000 points so I split the points between all of my stats evenly for 13,500 equally bringing my agility up to 26,132 meaning I can run around the continents in under an hour.
As I sped out to my waypoint on the ocean and took off at slightly over 26,000 miles per hour I saw another person doing the same thing no doubt because he wanted to run around the continents as well or more likely the planet but he's going way too slow for that sadly since the planet is 10,000 times larger now although the continents relative location with each other is the same.
Running next to the guy I saw that he left a sort of continuous after image that blurs with his movements like there's something accelerating him besides his own agility stat and it looks familiar for some reason.
(AN: Smallville super speed effect that Clark gives off, said effect started in episode 15 of season 3 where the after image effect was first used.)
Ignoring the distant memory in my head I ran next to the guy to have a conversation while keeping track of my waypoint positioning.
"Hey, nice day huh? Isn't it surprising that despite moving faster than sound we can still talk? I think it's due to the way our brains process information at these speeds, besides it's been proven that while moving faster than sound it's possible to talk you just need to process the sound wave properly to understand it and we can do that since you can understand me."
(AN, again: it's true since the relative speed of their running and processing speed of their brains can understand words spoken at supersonic speeds since the wave is being moved outward at their speed + the speed of sound so ignoring the howl of air from moving that fast it sounds practically normal to them.)
Nodding his head the guy answers his own idea about Intelligence and Wisdom increases can increase such an ability as long as Perception isn't too far behind.
Then I asked him about his super speed and how it works, "It's just a basic super speed ability that magnifies the effects of my agility by 1,000 so my 27 agility becomes this and my ability makes drag and friction a tiny fraction of what it should be while my ability also makes my clothes able to withstand the forces involved in moving at these speeds."
"Huh, so it's not Kryptonian super speed or the speed force? Well I wonder what those abilities do?" And thankfully the guy just answers.
"The Kryptonian Speed ability just magnifies the Agility effects by 100,000 times and the speed force by 1,000,000 times with both having a few minor effects that I don't really care about."
Nodding my head we kept running surprisingly on the same route before I asked him a question that really bugs me.
"How are we doing this? Not just the speed but the amount of calories we should be burning just from running like this, the only thing I can think of is that the way we burn energy has been changed."
"Your correct, you see our dependency on food and air are essentially the same however the percentage it represents on our performance lowers with every point put in our stats, for our speed if you started with 10 points in agility and added 90 points through the system your food would only represent 10% of the energy you burn when you run and the rest is our stamina which is a form of energy that is exclusively for physical use, Health is the same way."
That actually makes sense so I just nodded my head and made the left turn but he made a sharper turn since he had finished his run while he told me about the book he learned it from which sadly is a unique book so I can't get a copy.
Hitting the halfway mark I realized I'm going slightly lower than top speed and sped back up and rushed to complete the run while thinking on whether or not I should buy a flying ability.
Coming across Seattle I slow down and went home to get ready for school.
