[Superior Adaptability]

"Welcome to the grand... Afterlife Battle Royal! Where you get to see every single living creature that has died in the past 10 mortals seconds in the universe battle against each other to see who will win and get a chance in life! Get to your seats and watch closely! Today we have non-sentient and sentient species alike! First, let's give them all a small ability... A random C-Rank ability! What do you think, audience!?" A deep voice echoed across space and it awoke every single creature that was below in the Colosseum-like structure that was made for them to especially fight till the death. "Let the fight begin!" As soon as the announcer shouted that, the arena below turned into pandemonium.

Below on the arena, a man was sitting behind a rock gasping for air, in his hands he had a knife he was able to take from a dead body in the chaos that was going there and he had his ability he got right now... It was a simple yet effective [Regeneration (C-Rank}] ability that recovered his injuries, which he got at the start of the chaos, an energy blast right through his chest. He felt his heart exploding, but even after that, he was fine! Good as new... This dagger was the ability a man had, to conjure simple daggers, but he did not know how to use them so he died rather easily. The protagonist, let's name him K for now because he doesn't like his name and will likely change it in the future, K did know in fact how to handle a dagger a little because of his scum dad who tried to men out the queer inside him with daggers and guns... No, he isn't American!

His father was.

Getting off-track here... As I was saying, K knew how to handle himself well with a dagger, which he used the stealth wait and strike strategy to kill his enemies, which was every single billion million entity in this arena! He had to wait for a long time, slowly striking, he didn't know why but everyone was killing each other with fervor and th wrath of a thousand suns so all he could do was survive, he managed to scavenge a high technology looking gun which blasted energy blast that could detonate like a grenade or even stronger! He had some fun using that weapon, is he starting to become a battle maniac?

He didn't care as he blasted every single entity he saw, after what seemed days or even months they fought until the arena became a battlefield where no one could see anything but corpses and more corpses of several creatures, both animals/creatures/aliens and many more entities. Soon only K and 99 other creatures were alive! How does he know that? Because of the announcement that was being broadcasted over the entire arena, of course, the announcer was happily announcing and commenting on the deaths of several creatures in gruesome details! K didn't know who the announcer was speaking to, but it wasn't him or anyone in the arena, but people outside of the arena...

He didn't know who was watching, but he showed them the middle finger for a whole hour before going to rest. There was no food or water but he never felt thirst or hunger, but he felt tired so he had to sleep, and sometimes he was awakened by a person trying to kill him, which led him to learn how to sleep with part of his brain awaken to have him quickly dodge or block any attack with the items he scavenged! There were several interesting little things, like high technology and even stone tools, armor and swords, and sometimes even explosives. K even saw energy-like skills being used by others, like fireballs and frost spears... Magic basically, but the announcer explained it was just basic energy conversation that every creature was able to do, which K tried and stressfully and successfully converted his blood into energy which boosted his physical strength.

Apparently in this arena, everyone could learn supernatural things easily if they try hard enough, which K needed to because of his physical and/or mental weakness. He was a human! Possibly one of the weakest races in the whole universe! He had to know more about supernatural things, so he experimented with this conversion thing and the energy which is produced after... He learned after what seemed to be weeks how to control that energy to bring it out of his body and return to the blood, harden, and shoot, which gave him a projectile! Blood Dart was the name he gave it because it could be shaped like a dart only. But with this newfound ability he had, which was to convert blood into energy and energy into blood, he began to quickly hunt and kill other participants because of the announcement that was given by the announcer: "By the end of the timer, you must kill at least 5 people, or you will automatically die~!" The time he has was 72 hours, 3 days.

On those three days, he was quick to search for his prey and kill them, even after killing 5 he decided to continue because if he eliminated more then he would have more chances to win this thing... After all, he doesn't want to die again, dying for him was a terrible experience that he did not want to repeat! He was tortured to death by his own family, his father did not want a gay son so he contracted someone to teach him a lesson, which he did not learn and continued to be himself, as he was stubborn his father decided to teach him himself which led to some serious injuries and he was not allowed to leave the basement after that, being starved for three days without even water.

How did he die? Internal Bleeding. When they went back to the basement to check on him he was already dead for four hours, his body cold and unresponsive. At least he was free from that hell just to come to another hell!! He just wanted to be free from everything so he could be himself, his true self, the guy who loves pranking, who is gay, who now apparently likes to battle! He didn't know that about himself! He chuckled as he killed another one, it seems like he is going insane in this place huh.

In the end, K killed several enemies that stood in his way, even with his body being cut In half, burned, frozen! Even when his heart was removed from his chest and crushed on his face by punches, he continued to kill. It was gruesome and K was laughing... It seems like this place broke him in a way that helped him survive. There was only one enemy left, it was a huge humanoid with grey skin and metallic arms that had a red crown on its head.

The creature started by shouting and shooting a huge beam of energy from its mouth, the beam had a huge amount of energy that burned through K's body melting him into a paste of pure blood. As the creature was distracted, thinking it had won, the puddle of blood moved quickly and engulfed its body, entering through every hole of its body painfully destroying it from inside. This was one technique that K had, which was to control his blood to kill someone inside out, but he never did it with his whole blood like now! The creature screamed in pain as its body exploded in blood and gore, revealing K there, half regenerated. Only his upper half body was regenerated, his lower half was nowhere to be seen, but he was alive still.

The whole arena turned white and suddenly K felt his legs again, he was complete! His whole body hurt as a wheel appeared in front of him, he extended his finger forward and touched it, soon the wheel began spinning and he saw several colors and abilities, such as [Authoe Autority], [Autority Manipulation], [Absolute Contract], and even [Fire Manipulation] and others types of manipulations and mental abilities! Slowly the wheel stops and K sees what he got:

[Superior Adaptability]

The ability to adapt to anything, this ability reacts to the user's subconscious to give them the power they desire, automatically absorbs, and adapts to every type of pure energy that comes in contact with the user. Capable of copying and absorb any abilities used on the user.

After K read that, he suddenly felt it deeply into his soul, he saw images of several creatures that have the same ability as he... And one that caught his attention was a lizard that hated humanity and every living creature... But it was only a flash that he ignored that because it was soon away from his mind, he felt himself float for a second and he panicked as he suddenly saw himself falling from a blue sky into an endless sea, all he could see was water and the clouds in the sky.
