Advanced Nearby Object Manipulation lv4 With the attribute points distributed, the next issue was the more complicated matter of ability points. The first step was to examine my actual options. I selected the ungrouped abilities that could be upgraded with eight points or fewer and asked for them to be listed. My ability panel responded. Time Leap lv2: Move a perceived target weighing up to half a ton to the position it occupied two seconds ago, or to the position it will occupy two seconds from…-

Awakening the “Word of Force” After my most recent fight, I had not gained the usual power-boosting energy right away. It came only after a considerable delay, and there was far more of it than I had earned from most of my other battles, wildly disproportionate for a fight in which I had not even killed an enemy. My suspicions about those differences were not only confirmed, but the changes in the arrangement of my ability panel made the importance of what had happened impossible to…

My Best Friends Are Making Out When the plate was nearly empty, Grandma Lin leaned back in her chair with a satisfied sigh and asked, “Tell me, sweetheart, have you seen my nephew? Lia said he is recovering and told me not to worry, but…” She fidgeted. “…well, worrying is the privilege of old people, is it not?” She gave a small laugh, but it sounded a little forced. “And he vanished rather suddenly a few hours ago, so I wondered whether you might know. Since you are…

The Infuriating Little Brat “If I had told you, would you really have gone?” The map changed. A lone figure was holding a street against a tide of monsters, slowly being overwhelmed by sheer numbers. Lia tapped a nearby building. A few seconds later, stray shots from several monsters struck key explosives inside it. The building shook, then collapsed. That opened a gap into another street, where the enemy had already gathered. I leapt up, wanting to do something, anything, but another…

This, Too, Is Part of Growing Up Minute after minute passed. The metal gradually warmed beneath my work until it glowed a dim red, just barely bright enough for human eyes to notice. The work was calming, almost meditative, and it let me separate myself from the fight I had just survived and from the tangled, useless mess of feelings still knotting up inside me. The wires had to be braided properly, or they would not support one another. They had to be ductile enough not to snap under stress, but…

I Won, but Could Only Run I was still falling. Proximal Manipulation remained cut off. For the moment, however, I had his weapon in my hands, and I had many ideas about what to do with it. I could make any force he applied to the axe weaken by an order of magnitude for a while. I could make it nearly weightless, almost unaffected by air resistance, then throw it into orbit. I could wrap it in flame and try to melt it. None of those options was guaranteed to work. So I chose…

Seeing Through His Trick This time, my punches and kicks against his back did little more than make his body sway. It took me a few seconds to realize he was laughing silently. The bastard was laughing at me. He stood and shook me off as if I weighed nothing, which, at our level of strength, was almost true. He tried to grab me again. I teleported beside him and avoided it. He reached again. I jumped away again. Again and again, with shorter and shorter intervals. My body…

Regroup, Then Fight Again Boom. The axe strike deflected as before against my newly acquired Focused Invulnerability. Because I was distracted by my realization, I barely cared. But when the axe became a gun at the instant of contact and fired, the point-blank shot was much harder to ignore. The huge bullet punched messily into my abdomen. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. I dodged, turned, and teleported frantically, avoiding as much of the barrage as I could while…

Why Is He This Strong? The wind slowed. The air thickened. Dust motes danced in sunlight like insects trapped in amber. As I rushed the monster wielding the giant axe, its blade came down toward my back. A smug smile slowly spread across his too-wide, fleshy face. But just because years of frustration and anger had driven me into a direct confrontation with this old bastard did not mean I had to play by his rules. I flickered, jumping seamlessly through space, changing direction. Then…
