9 Chapter 8 - Heroism Online

Scatter!

No one knew or will ever no who was the first person to think of that idea.

Everyone, saw the impending crisis and they immediately sped away in different directions to escape from the Dimensional Titan Minotuar who was ruthlessly charging over and stepping over those who were too slow for the monster.

'I think if we want to escape from this monster, we have to head into our respective rooms!' Felix thought as his eyes flashed in a brilliant light after receiving enlightenment.

Why would they give them rooms when they could just let them run around in the building, trying to escape from the monster? Although their rooms might be rigged or trapped, it was better than getting squashed like a bug by this monster!

Felix looked back to the large minotuar before gulping down a mouthful of saliva. The beast was too ferocious!

His room was unluckily behind the the towering monstrosity who let out a load menacing roar before fiercely stomping down it's feet, making Felix's scalp turn numb.

'Do I need to risk it?'

Felix inwardly cursed his luck before dashing in the direction of the monster, and swinging his hands about as numerous objects were shot at the Minotuar, stunning it.

The others were ecstatic!

'Another hero...'

'He's going to buy us more time, we should escape immediately! I'm not ready to die trying to warn such a worthless brat, I want to live!!!'

Countless people prayed for Felix to hold the monster back long enough for them to flee or else they'll be all squashed to death!

Following Felix's command, the broken bits of concrete which lay on the floor all began to rise before shooting towards their target instantly, piercing into the poor minotuar's fleshy thigh.

ROARRRRR~~~~

Using the Dimensional Titan Minotuar's time of confusion Felix slipped past it, and bolted for the door. He ignored the curses aimed at him as he slammed the door shut before him, before collapsing to the ground.

"He passed, and without cheating nor using any underhanded methods like the others who took advantage of others to help themselves."

"He hasn't completely passed yet grandfather, he'll have to wake up first."

"How dare you call me grandfather you ungrateful little hag!"

"You're old enough to bear my birth father two times, you're even fit to be my great-grandfather!"

Krypton held the bridge of his nose, while Aelin closed her eyes. The duo would never stop talking when given a chance.

Felix who was lying down on the ground suddenly had his eyes twitch. He rolled over to the side before letting out a low groan as he felt as if countless people were poking into his brain with various sharp objects.

The bickering of the duo forced Felix to slowly open his eyes to a strange place. He was looking up to a bright red sky with a huge sun that was half the size of earth's sun. He was in a forest, but as always it was devoid of any life except plants.

Two familiar people were seen pointing fingers and droning away as Felix fell into deep contemplation upon getting up from the ground.

'Where am I? How did I get here? Where's everyone?'

'Was what I experienced really real? Was all those people actually killed?'

Felix looked down to his wrist where the watch wore on his wrist was with a frown as he read the shocking words on it.

[Name - Felix]

[Mutant Energy - 10/10]

Abilities:

[Telepathy Lv1- Do anything with just a single thought. Range of ability increases as you advance in level.]

[Mimicry Lv1 - Mimic any any ability you come in direct contact with. Mimicked ability limit increase as you advance in level — (Slot 1 - Empty) (Slot 2 - Empty) (Slot 3 - Empty)]

[Eat Energy - Acquire the energy of any consumed foe. Energy consumption limit increase with each level advance. Limit — 0/10]

Huh?

Felix frowned as he solemnly traced the screen of the watch with the tip of his fingers.

After inspecting the state of the watch under his touch, Felix let out a sigh. The watch was somehow bound to his body, and was somehow unable to be seen by the two aimlessly bickering before him.

'Mutant energy... Multiple abilities.'

Felix wasn't unfamiliar with these terms nor was he naive enough to not know how valuable the thing on his wrist was and how many lives it cost.

'So I have only ten mutant energy within my body as of now, and due to my third skill I can get more M.E by consuming the neurone of my enemies.'

(A/N: Neurone is a kind of energy source in the head where all the dimensional energies to fuel the ability of the creature is contained.)

While Felix was busy dealing with his own problems and bearing the noise caused by Aerial and Bylex's continuous banter, something big was going on in the real world.

----

"Damn, he moved his eyelids, he fucking moved his eyelids!" Jacob who sat besides the sleeping Felix suddenly roared as he instantly hopped off his seat.

Nix who was reading a book on the corner immediately tossed it out through the window before rushing towards Felix and placing her slender hands on his head.

'He's burning with a fever. 2nd Stage, Post- Awakening!'

Jacob watched Nix softly touch Felix's body with envy. He would have traded places with his friend in order to get touched by such a beauty!

Why Transformation ability? Why not Conscience Exchange or Body Swap?!

Why is this world so cruel?!

Nix sighed before instantly bringing out her phone and putting a call across to Felix's personal doctor give by Skycolm. A specialist in these cases of forced awakening.

On the screen palm sized phone was a male avatar with the name –Doctor Frank– on the top, while the big red button to end the call continued flashing and shaking rhythmically.

Ring Ring~~

Ring Ring~~~

Beep!

"He answered! Jacob shush!" Nix placed her index finger to her lips before placing the phone to her ear and speaking, "Doctor Frank, he finally moved, and he's burning with a fever! I think something's wrong!"

Jacob was about to protest for being forced to keep his mouth shut, but after hearing about Felix's condition his countenance changed.

'Who cares about being touched by beauties in this situation? Hell, my buddy is in danger!'

"Really, that's good news. Infact we should celebrate right away!"

When Jacob heard the doctors words and his carefree tone, he almost spat out blood. Ce-Ce-Celebrate? Celebrate!

'Celebrate?! Celebrate your father! My friend is dying here!'

"I believe he has reached the doorstep to becoming a 1st Class Anomaly! With this power at it's peak, no one on the planet except S-grade Deviants could stand against him!" Frank through the phone in enthusiasm.

Jacob, and Nix were dumbfounded as they simultaneously looked down to the unconscious Felix whom frighteningly let out a low yawn as his eyelids began to flutter.

"He-He-He yawned?! He yawned?!" Jacob said in joy as he leaped over to Felix's side with a smile.

----

Felix looked at Byflex and Aerial as if they were retarded. It's been over twenty minutes of his precious time and those two kept exchanging words that if he said, he'll have to wash his mouth with soap and water for a month!

"You retarded idiotic brat!" Byflex thundered as he fiercely stomped his feet to the ground.

"You're retarded, your entire family is retarded, even your little brother is retarded!"

Felix had an earful from those two as he immediately let out a loud frustrated scream. What the f*ck is wrong with this two?!

"What's with him? Is he sick or something?" Aerial whispered to Byflex as she stared at the fuming Felix. Blinking her not so innocent eyes.

"You're the one who's sick!" Felix snapped viciously. His nostrils were flaring, while steam rose up from his head like a red smog.

"I understand your pain young one. It seems that you have finally become a true anomaly, hope you like the watch. As you could see, it can only be seen by you." Byflex suddenly spoke without restraint as he looked at Felix's wrist curiously. Although he knew Felix had a watch, he truly couldn't see it.

"This? I thought no one except me could see it?" Felix questioned as he held up the watch for the duo to see.

"Nah, only I, the almighty Byflex can see it because of my special ability. Even this retarded loli here would have a hard time sensing the watch not to talk of seeing it." Byflex proudly lied with a smug look on his face as he puffed out his chest.

Aerial was about to explode, "No one can see the watch except the owner, he's just guessing because all survivors of the game get one."

Byflex gave the little girl a death stare.

"Besides, since you've successfully passed through the survival test. I pray that you successfully wake up without am hassle. Bye Felix, hope you visit in the flesh one day." Aerial waved to Felix with a soft smile on her face.

Felix felt as if an external force suddenly began to tug at his entire being, barely managing to put up a resistance, Felix was dragged into the light...
