"- according to Ger-Tor District 6 police department who have released a statement regarding the capture and unlucky death of mass murderer and cult leader Evan Wright yesterday, believed to have been last seen in District 5 he managed to escape to District 6 together with three of his fellow cult members dressed as a sort of demonic creature."
*So that's what they are calling it.* I thought as i looked at the TV.
"The police have so far reported three dead and more than 20 people rec-"
I turned of the TV and started walking circles in my apartment. There's no way that those things were suits, suits don't turn people into demons, and I can understand why the government would want to keep this hidden. It is after all wild demons in the streets, but do they know anything about them? Are they the ones causing them to appear or it it like my system, something that just happened out of nowhere? It is also pretty coincidental that they appeared only a few days after my system, is there a correlation?*
*Ding*
Stopping my thoughts as I heard a notification on my phone. It was my parents: after I left three months ago they never bothered to keep in contact, a sentiment I agreed with, we did not really part on peaceful terms after all. The message was from mom and she was asking if I got caught up in the whole murderer event and if I was fine, then it ended with her trying to convince me to come home and live in the capitol.
After ignoring the message and blocking her I start getting dressed, wearing my jacket a grey trench coat from the basic accommodation package like everything else I owned, I went out of the apartment building and went for a walk. I needed to clear my thoughts.
I needed to unlock more Aspects, I didn't want to wait until the exam if there were demons out in the street. Plus I would need to unlock all my aspects to max out my level and see what it did.
So as I walked I considered my options, only stopping to block the various family members and old friends that mom was trying to reach me through. She was being oddly insistent about me returning.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
As I sat down on my favorite couch I had decided on my aspects.
I knew I was not a fighter and if I met one of the demons I'd probably be better of running away, they did after all not seem that much faster than your average human. And certainly not as fast as i might become if I got a speed facet or something similar.
And secondly fighting them head on just seems like a dumb idea considering how they practically ripped the roof of a car to shreds.
So my first choice was Agility, it might have seemed smarter to get something like fleeing, speed or something similar but I was confident I could get something more broad from Agility. Plus the Agility concept was around ten times the size of the other ones, that had to count for something right?
And for the last Aspect I wanted something that would let me use the system to it's full extent. Something that would make me more, something that would make it impossible to even get into a situation where I would have to fight.
Sadly I didn't find the perfect Aspect for this, but I got close enough. Higher Thought, the aspect was all about elevating the mind. I was thinking that if I am smart enough to avoid my problems, or even solve them before they become problems then I had nothing to fear.

As I emerged my mind to select my second aspect I felt the same push as I did from Learning, a futile resistance to letting me take it's power. it crumbled under the pressure of my mind.

Ignoring my status I felt the streams of energy flow into my body and rearrange themselves. I waited for them to calm down before I grabbed on to Higher Mind and accepted it as well. The process was similar to the previous two and I once again felt the streams of energy rearrange themselves, but this time with a greater focus around my brain.

Looking proudly at my status I began the final process of searching through the facets available to me. I had already planned a rough outline of what I wanted but I wasn't sure what variations of the skills there would be so I made sure to look though as many as I could before I started accepting them.
I made sure to accept them one at a time over the next hour or so to ensure that there was some time between the changes in my energy flow, I didn't know if there would be some problem if I chose two at once or chose one while the energy was still calming down.

Most of the facets I chose for Higher thought were pretty self explanatory and straight forward, this did not make them weak however, Complex Thought made it so that I could have more details in my thoughts and capable of thinking in more abstract ways. Expanded mind made my mind capable of holding more thoughts at once, and focus made it harder for me to get distracted.
The more interesting Facets are those I got from Agility, Smooth Reflex synergized well with my Intuition and was all about better reaction time. It let me move before my body should be capable of and reacting to things that I haven't even registered yet.
Light Footed was interesting, it made me both lighter and faster, letting me move like I weighed 10-15 kilo less as well as increasing the actual speed of my movements. While testing it out I also noticed that I could exert the similar amounts of force on the softness of my bed as I could on the solid ground. Meaning that the issue of terrain had been made null and I could escape no matter the environment.
And finally Feathers Path let me move more like a "feather through the air", which sounds vague and frustrating. But it synergized with my smooth reflexes a lot, I tried it by throwing a pair of clothes in the air and I felt myself almost flow around them as they fell. I am pretty sure that my body contorted in some strange way because the gaps that I was moving through between the clothes were smaller than I was. Though I did still get hit by the clothes.
As I looked at my status I was proud. It was completely full, and in another three days or so the new facets should be reaching max experience. And I would finally get to see what happened when my level maxed out.
As I prepared to go to the cafeteria for lunch I heard a knock at the door. Looking through the spyhole I saw a tall man in a brown trench coat with a greying short blond hair and green eyes leaning on a cane.
Sighing as I opened the door and greeted my uncle.
