Gazing Into The Abyss In Search Of Salvation
*Abuturab falls to the ground absolutely drained of strength, he is'nt even able to stand now.
Abuturab:God dammit All of us are on the verge of death, if someone finds us right now we are done for.
Abuturab:I have to understand now the worlds is in anarchy we should'nt trust anyone since to survive the second flash you had to have increased durability stat.And to do that you need to have killed someone.
Abuturab:Wait I know just what to do.
*Abuturab crawls over to the skewed corpses of the thugs
Abuturab:I hope you assholes rot in hell!.... atleast you will be of some use to me after death.
(Abuturab raises his hand and absorbs the souls of the 5 thugs)
(A rush of power courses through abuturab's body as his wounds start healing)
Abuturab:Thank god this heals you or We would have been dead for sure.
(Abuturab gets up from the ground and starts stretching his limbs to see if they are all okay)
Abuturab:As good as new. Now I need to something about my homies.
(If you forgot Musab and Shaheer have taken a lot of damage and have passed out while Muneeb and Aqib have lost conciousness due to pushing themselves too far)
Abuturab:Hmm Muneeb and Aqib should be fine since they arent injured but if I dont do something about Musab and Shaheer they will most definately die.The Cleric!
The Cleric:You can use your own mana to heal them.Since when mana is transferred it also heals the reciever also you should absorb that dragon's soul too before it fades away
Abuturab:OH SHIT! I completely forgot about that.
(Abuturab rushes over to the dead dragon and absorbs it's soul as well)
Abuturab:Now to heal those idiots.
(Abuturab gathers and places all of the homies in a nice straight line and then starts giving them some of his mana)
(Using your power and abilities also levels them up because of how much abuturab used his power over space it is now leveled up as well as his mana)
Aqib:ohhh.. my body hurts so much I got shot two times ;-;
Shaheer:FFS I can't believe that dragon bitch slapped me so hard I passed out without doing anything;-;
Muneeb:Thank god I recieved zero damage (:
*Everyone who is awake looks at muneeb with a face of dissapointement)
Muneeb:;-; ..... Wait why is musab not waking up? did you not heal him?
Abuturab:Well I did but I think because of how much damage he took he will probably need some rest before being able to move.
Abuturab:DAMN!
Aqib:What happened?
Abuturab:lvl 13 strength lvl 16 speed lvl 14 agility lvl 19 endurance lvl 16 durability and lvl 12 mana. HIS STATS ARE SO HIGH
Shaheer:Im still lvl 2 in every category ;-; why is he so high.
Abuturab:I think the reason he leveled up so much is because he was the one who got the final blow on the dragon.
The Cleric: Experience is given to everyone who contributed in the fight on the basis of how much damage they did.When enough EXP(short for experience) is allocated in a stat it levels up the other way to level up stats is to use soul energy.Abuturab you should also check your stats since you contributed second most to the dragon and did everything against the thugs. Since you killed a very strong monster early on you gained SO much exp.
Abuturab:My stats are...!
Shaheer:Come on spit it out already!
Aqib:Yeah im lvl 5 across the board.
Muneeb:Im lvl 3 across the board tell us your stats already.
Abuturab:fine lvl 20 strength lvl 24 speed lvl25 agility lvl 23 endurance lvl 23 durability and lvl 30 mana. AYO WTF
Abuturab:CLERIC EXPLAIN PLZ
The Cleric: Since you killed all the thugs by yourself you got all the experience.
Aqib:You also took all the souls...this is not fair you and musab are so much stronger than us;-;
Abuturab:Guys cmon we can talk about this hee hee?
*They force abuturab to distribute the sould energy abuturab got 40% while the rest except musab got 20%
Muneeb:Shouldn'nt we give some to musab?
Everyone:NO
(All of them except abuturab use the souls to lvl up their stats the stats are as follows)
Muneeb:Lvl 10 strength lvl 12 speed lvl 8 agility lvl 7 durability and lvl 32 mana lvl 6 endurance
(Muneeb used most of the soul energy on mana)
Aqib:Lvl 16 strength Lvl 16 speed Lvl 16 agility lvl 20 mana lvl 13 durability lvl 12 endurance
Shaheer:Lvl 6 strength lvl 25 speed lvl 5 agility lvl 17 mana lvl 8 durability lvl 9 endurance
Musab: lvl 13 strength lvl 16 speed lvl 14 agility and lvl 12 mana lvl 19 endurance
Abuturab:lvl 20 strength lvl 24 speed lvl25 agility lvl 23 endurance lvl 23 durability and lvl 30 mana
Abuturab:Shaheer whats with those weird as hell stats?
Shaheer:(: I got really high speed so I can rush at enemies and decay them quickly at this high speed I can even dodge bullet! and the mana is so that I can decay more
Muneeb:Makes sense I got high mana so that I can construct more shit
Aqib:Same but what now?
Abuturab:I have an idea we split into teams all of you in 1 team and musab and I in the other, we then explore the land and kill as much shit as possible to lvl up
Aqib:But why?
Abuturab:Because of this
(Abuturab shows the homies a note that he picked up from the Kashim's pocket)
(It says "Go to the school called Zakariya to the main campus and kill any student you see wearing a blue uniform if you bring me their heads you will be rewarded handsomely")
Muneeb:AYO WTF
Aqib:With blue shirts....that would mean 9th and 10th only but why specifically these two classes?
Abuturab:I dont know but it is obvious someone is after everyone from 10th and 9th class which includes us I guess thats why Kashim and his goons tried to kill us.That is the reason We should get as high lvl as possible since this person might send more people our way and maybe the next group will have unique attributes like us which will be quite troublesome.
Shaheer:Yes but why split up?
Abuturab:To gather as much info as possible and cover as much ground as possible.I am going to need you to map this area.
Aqib:And how do we do that?
Abuturab:Through this of course
(Abuturab pulls out a weird looking map)
Abuturab:This map will automatically fill when you explore.
Aqib:And HOW did you get that?
Abuturab:One of the thugs had it.
(Shaheer and Muneeb look at abuturab with disgust realising he thoroughly searched each thug like a hungry man cleaning a bone)
Aqib:OK but there is only 1 map what about you and musab? How will you map the area
Abuturab:My ability THE CLERIC does that automatically.
Muneeb:How do you know all this??
Abuturab:It took all of you 3HOURS to wake up I had to do SOMETHING in that time so I asked cleric about everything he could do and when I heard about the auto map thing I decided we should explore but then I found this map which Im guessing that person had given to the thug for the same purpose and decided we should split up.
Shaheer:Ok but what about musab?
Abuturab:I did some thinking and experimenting and found out Those pocket dimensions i make for my portals to use as a medium have another feature.Ican make a pocket dimension that is completely closed off and has oxygen in it. I also can control the properties inside a pocket dimension. So i will just store musab in there (:
Aqib:BRUH
(Abuturab opens a portal and throws the unconcious musab in there then closes it off)
Abuturab:Welp time to split up. Come back to this exact spot in 15 days okay? you can use the map to mark this place so you dont forget.
Muneeb:Fine we will see you later.
Abuturab:Also If you find someone trustable and powerfull make sure to make them tag along k? We need a powerful team to survive.
(The friends split up on their Separate journeys)
(Note:I will now spend some part of chapters following The 3 friends that split up and some parts focusing on musab and abuturab)
*The focus shifts to Abuturab who is now wandering the terraformed world
(When a sentence said by a character is in * * it means they are thinking it )
Abuturab:*Hmm it seems that a lot more of out world has been transformed than I first thought*
*The grass is slightly purplish and the same mana flowers as before are spread out every where the rubble that should have been covering the area due to the secong flash is completely gone like it had never even been in there it was like abuturab had been transported to a new world where humanity never existed.
*Abuturab spots a herd of weird looking cows grazing in a field in the distance and dashes towards them
Abuturab:Nice Now that My speed stat is leveled up I can move so much faster.
(Abuturab punches every cow in the area to death)
Abuturab:I should have made Muneeb make me a sword before spliting up this sucks!
(Abuturab absorbs all the souls)
Abuturab:THE CLERIC! Tell me is leveling up my stats the only use for soul energy? can I use it to learn new abilities?
The Cleric:You can use soul energy to upgrade you attribute currently your attribute is lvl 2 which allows you to make pocket dimensions use portals and allows you to see the future to a very small extent
Abuturab:I hate using fore sight it hurts my brain;-;
The Cleric:Now that your stats are higher it should not hurt as much.Soul energy is measured in a unit called "sarps" you currently have 23000 sarps.
Abuturab:Is that a lot?
The Cleric:At your current level yes. You need to spend 10000 sarps to get your space and time manipulation to lvl 3
(Abuturab uses 10000 sarps to get his attribute to lvl 3)
Abuturab:So what did that unlock?
The Cleric:You can now control the characteristics of the pocket dimensions you create to a much higher extent and have gained the ability to heal your body by reversing the time around them. Basically you can now regrow body parts but this is limited to your own body and takes an extreme amount of mana.
This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
Abuturab:How much mana?
The Cleric:If your arm was completely destroyed you could regrow it only 4 times before completely running out of mana
Abuturab:DAMN Did'nt I just make my mana lvl 30?? It still USES THAT MUCH.
(A bullet is shot towards abuturab but he dodges it due to his danger sense)
BANG
Abuturab:*Dammit someone is here already and just as I was getting comfortable*
BANG BANG BANG
(Three more bullets are fired towards abuturab he is able to dodge all of them again)
MysteriousPerson:Goddammit could'nt you have just died to those? WHY do you have make this so hard for me?
(A man who looks to be around 30 years old with a slight beard holding a gun in his hand approaches abuturab)
Abuturab:Hmph..Who do you think you are? Did'nt your mother teach you manners? You just randomly started shooting me for no reason.
MysteriousPerson:Sorry kid nothing personal but Someone is paying a bunch of money for every blue shirt kid I kill.
Abuturab:What do you mean money? Money is useless there are no shops you can spend it in
MysteriousPerson:By money I mean sarps ofcourse.
Abuturab:*cleric are you done analyzing his stats?*
The Cleric:*Yes all his stats except speed are slightly higher than yours he is 2 lvls behind you in speed.
Abuturab:*What about his attribute?*
The Cleric:*I need to analyze him for longer to know his attribute and abilities*
(The mysterious man pulls out a sword that is glowing with a special aura)
MysteriousPerson:It was nice meeting ya kid my name is Nadeem.I will see ya in hell.
(Nadeem dashes at Abuturab)
(abuturab pulls out the wooden sword made by muneeb in chapter 2 and tries to defend the slash )
Abuturab:Tch! SHIT
(Nadeem's sword cuts right through abuturab's sword and slashes him on the chest)
(Abuturab jumps back to create some distance between them but nadeem does not let abuturab regain his footing and rushes in for another attack)
Nadeem:Good try kid but i aint lettin ya get away
(it turns out to be a trap as abuturab creates a portal right under him just as nadeem tries to slash him)
Abuturab:(: BYE
Nadeem:What the hell is that
(Abuturab appears right behind nadeem which catches him off guard and punches him right in the face which knocks him back)
Nadeem:Agh! Nice... nice punch kid but it wont be enough
Abuturab:(: look up
(Abuturab opens a portal above nadeem and a bunch of rocks fall down from it)
Nadeem:You really think that will be enough?
(Nadeem slashes through all the rocks falling form the sky but as he is doing that abuturab using another portal appears infront of him and punches kicks his sword out of his hand)
Nadeem:Enough!
(Nadeem takes out his gun and shoots abuturab right in the head but it is not able to penetrate his skull because of his high durability nadeem keeps attacking and punches him in the gut really hard then grabs his sword mid air and slices abuturab's left arm clean off)
Abuturab:GAH!! DAMMIT my ARM
Nadeem:(:
(But abuturab does not give up and plunges his teeth deep into nadeem's throat and takes a big bite)
Nadeem:AGGGHHHHHHH! WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU!
(As nadeem is screaming in pain abuturab uses his newly obtained ability to regrow his arm he then punches nadeem into a portal that he created behind him)
Abuturab:*GASP* GASP* heh I won, I teleported that idiot into a pocket dimesion with no air he should be dead in no time.
(Abuturab falls to his knees due to exhaustion)
(A portal opens in the air opens up and nadeem falls through he starts gasping for air but abuturab is already standing there with nadeem's own sword)
Abuturab:Die you foul man.
(Abuturab plunges the sword deep into nadeem killing him instantly)
(Nadeem was wearing a jacket with a red shirt underneath nadeem was not a tall man his height and overall body size was around that of abuturab's)
Abuturab:I need new clothes or these guys will keep coming after me! hmmmm why not take his
(Abuturab takes nadeem's clothes)
(The analysis finnaly came it revealed that nadeem had a unique attribute of dead shot which was lvl1 it made it so all his bullets hit the target)
NOW we cut back to Muneeb Shaheer and Aqib
*They were searching a big building which had survived the 2nd flash but there was greenery growing around it as well so they felt hesitant to go in fearing some animals might be inside
Shaheer:Ok how about this we rock paper scissors to decide who goes in and searches the building K?
Aqib:fine
Aqib,Shaheer and Muneeb:ROCK PAPERS SCISSORS!
Muneeb:SHIT GUYS it is completely dark in there i cant see jack shit
Aqib: that is a big problem
Muneeb:Hmm I have an idea
(Muneeb uses reconstruction on a pile of rocks and turns them into a lamp)
Aqib:OH I understand
Muneeb:(: Muneeb turns the leaves of a tree into lava due to which it starts a fire
(Aqib manipulates the fire and place some inside the lamp)
Shaheer:Thats genius
(Muneeb heads inside the building ..he starts walking and checking room after room until he starts hearing some sounds)
Thug leader:So how many of those blue shirts have we killed so far?
Thug#1:We have about 12 heads
Thug#1:Boss dont we have enough? lets go and cash these in!
Thug leader:We should look around the area of the school there might be some dead bodies of the blue shirts we can get some more heads that way
Thug#1:Ok sir
(Muneeb while trying to get out of there accidentally drops the lamp which alerts the thugs who start running at him)
Muneeb:NO WHY ME WHY
(Muneeb panicks and uses reconstruct on a thug and makes his body violentely explode)
Muneeb:Ah SHIT I CAN DO THAT??
Thug leader:Its a blue shirt get him!
(muneeb reconstructs the door into a wall and then jumps out the window screaming aqib's name)
Muneeb:AQIB AQIB QUICK HELP!!!
(Aqib sees and bends the wind to carry muneeb down safely)
Aqib:Your welcome (:
Shaheer:Muneeb what happended?
Muneeb:thugs like 5 of them I killed one and blocked off their path but they will be here soon get ready to fight!
Thug leader:Well well well it seems that we have hit jackpot 3 blue shirts just waiting to be killed!
(The thug leader stretches his arm really long and tries to punch aqib but he makes an earth shield to defend but he punches through but aqib manages to dodge)
Aqib:Wth is that
Thug leader:My power is that my body is basically rubber! I can stretch it to my heart's content!Get them boys!
Shaheer:Aqib and muneeb you handle the thugs I will hold off their leader!
Aqib:OK
(Shaheer uses his high speed to attack the leader but his attacks just bounce off him since his body is rubbery)
Shaheer:*I can only kill him using my decay but I need some time to do that and it seems like he wont give me any*
(A thug attacks aqib aqib uses the earth rocks to make a guantlet(A guantlet is like a glove but it covers the hand to the elbow) and blocks his sword but another thug tries to attack him from behind so he makes a large burst of air to push them both back)
(2 thugs are on aqib and 2 are on muneeb)
Aqib:Muneeb! I need some water quick
(One of the thugs attack muneeb but since they were not using mana to protect their weapons muneeb turns his sword into water and then punches him in the crotch,aqib bends that water and impales a thug with it)
(Impale means stab someone through the chest completely)
Thug:AGH!
(Shaheer keeps dodging the leader's attacks but he is not able to do any damage)
Thug leader:STOP RUNNING!!
(The leader jumps high into the air and Expands his fist into a very large size, the size of a small house and launches it at shaheer)
SHaheer:WTF
(It hits shaheer head on and he is knocked out)
Aqib:God dammit!Shaheer!
(Muneeb and aqib kill each of their enemies and now face the leader)
Thug leader:Do you really think you stand a chance against me?
(Without saying a word aqib dashes towards him using air bending to speed him up , the leader tries to punch him but he uses earth to elevate the ground under him and jumps over the leader getting behind him just as he does that muneeb reconstructs a large part of the building into fire which aqib wraps around his fist and punches the leader)
Thug leader:SHIT not fire!
(It burns his skin but when aqib tries to attack again he kicks him high in the air)
Aqib:NO!
(the leader jumps into the air and enlarges his fist again to a very large size to punch aqib but muneeb creates water and aqib uses it to make a wall to defend himself but the leader smashes through it slamming aqib to the ground)
Aqib:*GASP* *GASP* I dont have much mana left and im quite injured.
Muneeb:I also dont have much mana left.
Aqib:I dont think we can win this,
(The leader lands on the ground and starts laughing but is interrupted by a hand grabbing his shoulder)
Thug leader:What the..? you are still alive?
(It was shaheer who had not been knocked out and had been waiting for when the leader let his guard down)
Shaheer:GO TO HELL
(shaheer uses decay on the leader)
Thug leader:WHAT THE HELL AGHHHHHHHH!
(His body starts decaying as the meat on his bones falls off in just an instant he turns into ash)
Shaheer:*gasp*
Aqib:SHAHEER! YOU DID IT!
Muneeb:You did it!
(They distribute the sarps that were owned by the thugs and levlel up their stats)
