"This damn appraisal is useless!!! Argh! Can't it just say what my power level is?"
[Updated....]
[Current Power Level of the appraised individual: 9-B Wall level]
[A/N: Power levels sheet and explanation posted in appendix chapter so make sure to check it out :) ]
"Oh...whoa??!?" I was surprised, to say the least, this status/system thing hadn't been updated ever before and my mind is now jumping around, thinking of the possible implications/ prospective of this(a con of a hyper active mind). Are there any more hidden things that can be unlocked or something? I have been asking random questions at the screen since day one and concluded that there is no AI in this system but...if it can unlock some things in some circumstances then this is great!!
Anyways, it looks like I was given an analysis of my current strength, which if I think is the same as the power level that was established on the wiki in my previous life then it means that I can 'destroy or significantly damage extremely resistant materials such as stone, metal or steel, as well as similarly resistant parts of constructions such as structural boulders and walls.' which is pretty cool for such a short time of training. Oh while we are on that topic, I should check the time.
My phone showed that the time is currently 3 in the morning. I have been here since 10 pm so cool... I think I should go to look for some dumm-thugs to test my powers.
I first used the new [Carapace(customizable)] ability, which I found let's me make any kind of suit for myself. The only con is that it fully covers me, so no...I can't use it as normal clothes. I can make any spider suit I want using it though! I admittedly did go on a fanboy spree of changing the design and colour combinations on different suits, even silk's suit(man version)(Don't tell anyone) but I finally settled on Spiderman Noir's suit as my main suit.
It was flashy, stylish and had a coat!! As a fan of old British clothing style, and black being my favourite colour I instantly fell in love with the suit's design when I first saw Noir in the Spiderverse movie. I love the cool gloves too and the suit was basically 'Badass' in my opinion, so I went with it.
So I used the ability to instantly change and Ta-dah! I turned from an average but packed teenager to a badass mysterious hero? villain? anti-hero? Yeah, anti-hero!!!
I am kinda looking to be an anti-hero in the future so this probably kinda suits me more now that I think about it ha! I remember Spiderman Noir had no hesitation to kill unlike the other spidermen/spiderwomen so hmm hmm yeah that matches. I had already made up my mind that it is going to be unavoidable for me to kill in the future so I am good.
I get out of the building and use my webs to swing to the top of a building, I had already made instant calculations unconsciously to the best point to aim my webs at so it was a smooth pull and I flew through the air.
I didn't make a sound while swinging cuz I was born ready! well, I didn't want to look like a noob and make beginner mistakes plus it was no big deal to me. Excitement and shock are encountered when something unexpected happens, but I plan my steps properly. I am cautious like that. Well, I swung between the big and small buildings, there was not much to see at night except the dark building tops and the starlit sky, there were occasional steel poles jutting out which I used to swing and on my way, I tried some parkour for the first time.
I made some silly mistakes but I got the hang of it with time and my proficiency in smoothly moving between buildings was increasing. I was easily able to jump a distance of about 15-20 meters so I think this exercise was helping my reflexes and muscles develop too. I enjoyed it.
Until I came upon a potential crime scene...I was sitting squatted on the hook of an excavator watching a scene that caught my eye. There were a group of well built and tough looking people in black who looked suspicious. I saw them dragging a few people at gunpoint from the back of a truck towards a bar. These people looked like they had been hit badly, I could tell, 'cause I used [Enhanced Senses] to zoom in. There were about 6 people in this group. This was probably only small-scale smuggling of people or something. There were 4 adult males, 1 Adult female and a male child.
"Hmm...guess I found a free target for a practice fight" I smirked under the black spider mask made from [carapace].
I swung down towards the bar and came to a stop in front of the front door silently. The people had just entered and there was someone talking about moving these people through the underground route? Hmm, interesting...
Well, 'I' like a gentleman knocked on the door. The door opened and a gruff man wearing baggy clothes scanned me up.
"Well hello there sir, I was thinking about grabbing a bite and some drinks if you're open" I said in a deep voice.
"Get out! go somewhere else kid!" he said in annoyance and tried to close the door on my face.
I stopped the door from closing by jutting my hands in between and said, "Well Sir, I have had a very good day, please don't ruin it, I insist on entering and you can't...exactly refuse!" I said and webbed his mouth and then grabbed him by his jacket and threw him out.
*bang bang bang*
Three gunshots rang out through the half-closed door directly at me but after getting warned by Spider-Sense I effortlessly dodged them. I then once again straightened myself and opened to door to see surprise on the faces of the shooters.
"Well well well...looks like I am not quite welcome to this gathering am I?"
"Sh*t bro, he doesn't look shot, bro!" said idiot1.
"I can see that idiot! start shooting! Look at his cloak, he could be a detective!" said dummy1
*Babababababababa bang bang bang*
Continuous shots rang out but I used them for dodging practice. I stuck to the wall, changed directions, and did the matrix backward bend and some flips when I got comfortable.
After 15 secs I decided to have some fun so I jumped back and then quickly went to the door and locked it while dodging and then continued dodging while moving towards the 4 gunmen.
They looked confused the whole time and terrified when they could not hit me, and when I approached them, they started shouting and one of them started turning towards the 6 "goods" and was probably thinking about using them as hostages. I zoomed past the other three and plunged the stinger of my right hand into the guy's forehead. It went in smoothly.
*Pshhh*
and when I retracted it, his head started leaking blood and brain matter all around. The whole place got silent and the shooting stopped for a moment, the comrades of the dead guy were scared stiff and horrified by this sight.
"Well...should've had let me have a drink...too bad" I shrugged and before the others could come back to the senses, I webbed two of the together with one hand and webbed the last one's gun. I went towards the single guy and used a venom blast on him.
He...just melted...fully. It was not a nice sight...but it was neat!
On that happy note, I just used my stingers to get rid of the rest. I turned around and said, "Manners Maketh Man" while looking at the wreckage of the bar. It probably wasn't the right scene to use this line but I wanted to use this line ever since I watched 'Kingsmen'.
The whole place was silent and the 6 people left were shivering while crouching in the corner while curling up. I just took out one of the dead thug's phone and called the police, I used a gruff voice imitation on this call and they told me that they will arrive soon as they had heard gunshots in the area. They tried to get my name but I cut the call. 'I think I will age myself to around 40-50 years old before talking to give a natural gruff voice' I wondered while analysing my own actions on this little venture. I have to take this as a learning opportunity and run simulations in my mind to do my tasks more efficiently...
I left the place and moved to a hidden corner on top of a nearby building with a clear view and waited for the police while keeping an eye on the "goods" of the thugs.
About 15 minutes later, the police arrived...
