Taking stock of the situation, I finally examine my HUD, which indicates several level-ups—a marginally less pesky insect in this world.

Huh, the level-up has restored me to full HP. That will prove immensely useful. Filing that useful nugget of information, I take stock of my situation by checking my Quest Log, Inventory, and Skill list. And that skill might just get me out of here alive. Unholy hell, that seems overpowered.

Focusing on Arcane Singularity shatters my boyish dreams immediately.

Arcane Singularity: Create and control miniature black holes – Costs 1000 MP/s

Yes, I can make physics my bitch. For a whole two and a half seconds. It's little consolation that such an absurdly powerful ability has such a steep cost. After all, I am tearing a hole in the spacetime continuum. High school physics may be helpful for once. I'll delve deeper into Echoes of the Ancients and my gamer system at another time. My second power thrums in excitement, begging to be used, eager for blood.
