Status-Feats I quickly started to apply my feats.

Quick-Thinker

Bullet-Time

Most people dont need these anymore, but I always use them when exploring a new strategy.

Perfect Recall

Intuition

With these feats, I found it easy to bring up my next sequence of actions.

I dashed outside.

I ignored the message and continued sprinting down the street. Bits and pieces of apartment buildings lay spread out haphazardly, and I could see people milling around confused.

At the center of our bubble lay a large circular structure. A colosseum of sorts.

I snatched a lighter off of a teenager shakily lighting a cigarette. “Hey!”

A wrecked car layon the sidewalk, an elderly looking man, Darrel, saw me coming.

He was trapped in the car.

He had been driving on the freeway at integration, and had crashed during the few seconds of confusion.

I waved at him and climbed onto the remains of the back of the car. I positioned myself as best I could, and looked carefully at my watch.

About thirty seconds left.

I pulled my shoes off and tossed them aside. I then took one of my socks and lit it carefully on fire.

While looking at my watch, I held the flaming sock over the side of the car, above a puddle of gasoline.

3…2…1

I dropped the sock, and braced myself.

BOOOM

<....>

I came to myself in the air. Pain assaulted me, then faded.

The world twisted and spun and I felt like throwing up.

I contorted my body like a skydiver, and the world stabilized.

I could see the colosseum rapidly approaching.

Perfect.

I angled myself for my favorite window, and shattered it as I passed through.

Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

I hit the ground.

I rolled and rolled, cuts and breakages accumulating and instantly being fixed.

I got to my feet and picked up a chunk of glass.

“Hi, and welco…” A voice started to speak.

“Glass dagger mastery, hardcore mode” I fired off.

A door appeared and I leapt through it.

I appeared in the arena.

The roaring of the fake crowd seemed overwhelming.

Suddenly, A giant minotaur exploded from the ground.

I was already running towards it.

It started its introductory animation, where it brought its arms into the air and let loose a thundering roar.

But I had already reached it.

I grabbed onto its massive axe as it lifted it up, and used the momentum to bring me to its neck.

My hand gripped the shard of glass hard.

I shoved the shard into its neck, right below the ear.

I flew towards the ground and rolled hard.

<[Hemorrhage] has dealt 200 Damage!>

<[Hemorrhage] has dealt 200 Damage!>

<[Hemorrhage] has dealt 200 Damage!>

<[Hemorrhage] has dealt 200 Damage!>

The massive monster fell into a puddle of its own blood.

“Allocate all stats to dex”

“I chose Flare and Puppetry”

Flare allowed me to use mana to increase my speed temporarily.

Puppetry allowed me to use mana to control my limbs exactly perfectly.

I used [Puppetry] precisely position my body, then I used [Flare] as I jumped a particular way.

I flew through the air, and a portal opened up right in my path, exactly where I expected.
