Continuing the Advance The next three tombs were defended relatively weakly. All of us were wondering where the enemy’s enormous army had gone. Considering the nature of their power, the longer the war dragged on, the more magical resources they should have accumulated. Instead, what we saw was a slow but steady decline in the number of monsters, because we were getting better and better at killing them. Just a few days ago, a dozen fire demons could have easily broken through everything I…-

Assaulting the Ghoul Tomb I stopped from superspeed, breathing hard. The two sword demons flanked me. One swung for my throat, the other for my legs. Every time I flew or teleported away, they used some ability to catch up. So I raised both arms to block the first sword, jumped over the second, and used the force from the first demon’s strike to kick the second. There was a sharp crack. A quick glance through Force Sense showed that I had broken one of its ribs. Good. Compared to that,…

Enhanced Weapons An eight-meter serrated sword swept through the space where my head had been a moment earlier. As it broke the sound barrier, it cracked the air like a whip. I gave a strained grunt, twisted away from the next follow-up slash, and teleported aside. Just as with every previous attempt at the same move, the bald, gray-skinned, grotesquely muscular humanoid followed me through space. I tried to fly away next, but the instant I cleared its attack range, the demon appeared in front…

Guns Are Powerless Ever since my abilities had been grouped together on the panel, using them had become easier, especially when combining several powers to create one complicated effect. Here, Force Adjustment weakened gravity’s grip on the pile of earth, making it light as bark while preserving its inertia. It also temporarily reduced friction and cohesion so the dirt could be shaped more easily. The shaping was done through Nearby Object Manipulation, molding the claylike mass into a…

Contacting the Soldiers “The hunt went very well. Little Black and I…” He patted the portable cannon resting on his shoulder with the fondness of a man petting his own son. Since he treated the shotgun that way, the name was not even the strangest thing about him. “…took down quite a few stronger ones. The invaders building those towers have been trying some new tricks in the eastern suburbs.” Then, as if performing a magic trick, a bottle of beer appeared in his hand. He casually…

The Counterattack Is Underway “Is that so?” Despite the absolutely stunning, possibly supernatural beauty of their armed escorts, the young man slowly regained his composure. His usual cynicism came back with it. “Then what are the other two reasons?” “The second reason is cooperation,” the other twin told them as she led them toward the kitchen, turning her almost bare, beautifully curved back toward them. It felt a little condescending. She had not even disarmed…

The Recon Squad Runs Into Xia Xinglan “Hey, Deadwalker, what do you think that is?” asked a man in dark brown and gray urban camouflage, pointing at the towering structure north of their position. “Think it’s an enemy stronghold?” “Possible,” the aforementioned Deadwalker muttered in a whisper that was barely audible. “I doubt it, though.” Everything about the tall, muscular, fully armed Marine seemed dim, lifeless, and faded. From his voice, which was far too low, to his…

Sweeping the Field A vast demon army was moving slowly through the ruins, its formations repeatedly disrupted by craters while its light infantry were forced again and again to detour around rows of slagged cars. Their numbers were so immense that the streets could not contain them. Stragglers spilled onto sidewalks and into alleys. Despite their slow pace, despite the terrain, despite resistance at every step, the advance of the undead army was unstoppable. At the front marched hundreds of…

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…
