'What is happening to it?'

Believing that something might go wrong or even worse would happen I then tried to take the shooting stance but my aching shoulder did not allow me to even hold it properly for a while during which the Werewolf shrunk a lot and finally stopped shrinking having become of a much smaller size looking really emaciated.

The shrunken down Werewolf then tried to get up and somehow stood up on it's legs when both it's arms instantly transform into human ones and stayed like that for a long second before they started to freeze solid as the freezing spread through it's whole body all the while it stood there motionless like a solid statue until it the point it froze completely solid.

Right as it did then various cracks started to form all over it that allowed it to break apart completely and those pieces from it fell away splitting into much smaller chunks of ice.

All of it I just saw at a distance behind the barricade with a dead tired expression and an aching body while not even bothering to address what just happened atleast not in any words or surface thoughts.

Glancing at all the remains of this Werewolf I saw an object which looked not frozen and with a flat shape that seemed out of place embedded in the middle of that frozen pile-no, it was there floating slightly above from rest while not touching any of it.

My smartphone rang and to my joy no message appeared directly in my eyes which was relieving as I searched for it inside my inner pocket and pulled it out only to see a few messages starting to pile up on it soon as I unlocked the fingerprint lock.

Congratulations! The main scenario has ended You have successfully completed all your mission!

"So freedom from the missions but not scenario. What else is there?"

Reward : Face Card

The game of playing cards is a game of chance. The four types of face card each have a different skill related to their theme and most importantly the foe which you have defeated

Something flew right towards me at the moment which I hit with the smartphone that I held with hand from the side where my shoulder was not hurt.

It was the card that stuck to my hand as I tried to hit it away seeing that it did not fell down even as I tried to shake it away wildly so I grasped it with my hand.

A new message then appeared on the smartphone after that.

Choose the card type that you would bind with this item :

King

Queen

Jack

Ace

Looking at the two heart pattern in one side but a blank one on the other made me realise this was a card that I could decide which one for it to be.

Having decided which one I wanted then clicked upon the Queen as it showed me this message before returning me back to the previous options.

Queen : Already taken

'Aww, I wanted to be like a killer queen. Sorry Freddy. Though I should quickly take the next best option before this one gets taken from me as well'

The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

King : Selected

The blank side of card began to change as it became imprinted by two kings each facing the other side as a new message appeared not on the smartphone but directly in my sight.

King of Hearts : Please tear this card to get it's ability

Seeing no problem with doing that I ripped the card and it dissolved into an ink that settled into my right forearm with a black colored K on top and red colored right ♡ below it.

"Great. I have my first tattoo now and I had no choice in how it looked"

All of a sudden my shoulder which I had hurt did not bring me as much pain anymore and even my exhaustion was rapidly getting away which I had accumulated having worked for so many hours tirelessly while making all these traps and later bringing the now deceased Werewolf to come after me to the state it was now.

Permanently incapable of getting to the above floor.

So I touched the tattoo on my forearm with my index finger as this was the most recent change happened to me and doing so brought a new message to my eyes.

[King of Regeneration :

What does not kill you only makes you stronger

Acclimate(Passive) :

You adapt to new environments or elements easily and more quickly

Restore(Passive) :

Regain stamina and health automatically without spending any fuel

Rapid Recovery(Active) :

Quickly recover from any injury at the cost of suffering a short while of intense pain and slow healing

When I stopped joining my finger with it the message disappeared from my view and I jumped in excitement at place.

"I have powers!"

Trying them I ran to the wall then punched it fist first which brought a jolt of pain through arm as I held it while feeling the pain receding until it was fully gone and it felt fine.

'This would affect my parameters for avoiding dangers pretty badly if I do not handle it well'

Escaping from this line of thinking I checked my smartphone and clicked on the very last reward.

Reward : Moon's blessing

For defeating the main scenario you get a benefit from the tarot card most closely related to it's source Exit through the door on top floor to receive this reward

'Of course I am getting out of this building'

Whatever powers that had kept this building for so long would not keep doing it forever and now that the 'Scenario' has ended.

Picking up the very large bag which I had packed with the necessary items like packaged water and food with different kinds of clothes alongside few other things like the gun with a few bullets I stood up glad that it would not tire me to carry it around.

For the very last time I climbed up these stairs then passed through the hallway at the end of which there was a large door which I reached my hand where it opened for me before I could pull at it.

Next a silver light surrounded me whole.

*******

When I opened my eyes the ground I stood on was no longer made of tiles neither was it close confines of a magically safeguarded but deeply submerged building and nor was the sky covered but open.

Instead the ground was dirt, around me were trees and behind me was a scary looking swamp that I instinctually felt that needed to stay clear of.

Looking up it was most likely night time as the briefest gaps between tree shades did not show either an open blue or gray cloudy sky.

Standing there for a moment I heard various noises started to nearing me while coming at from a distance so I tried to search for some trees to hide behind or atleast keep my stuff safe.

But then I looked at it.

Maybe it was me just generalizing all wolves but due to how much it looked similar to that one before it transformed into a Werewolf that it just pissed me off so incredibly that I did not try to escape from it and took a baton from my bag while keeping the bag behind it.

Then I waited until it reached close enough to me and thankfully it was distracted from the various noises likely some people chasing behind it. As soon as it was in the range to strike I tried to hit it full force.

The baton swung wide and through the wolf which directly passed through it.

Running at me then right pass from me as well it then stared back and most likely right past through me as far as I understood.

'I am really just a passive observer here'

Coming closer to it I tried to poke it with the baton put it did not affect it at all meanwhile this wolf was on the verge of making a really dangerous decision due to having nowhere else left to run.
