Run or Fight.

He played around with his vision a bit more and gained the x-ray vision while staying within the visible spectrum of light.

He could see through walls and clothes. He could directly see the organs and even blood circulation.

He could also see at a cellular level if he concentrated really hard he could see the insides of his cells.

'According to the description of the talent, the Extreme Energy Vision is able to see the flow of energy, since my body naturally absorbs energy from the atmosphere due to Passive Regeneration, I should be able to see it,' with this idea in his mind he fine-tuned his eyes again, after 2 minutes of fumbling around he was finally able to see his cells absorb the natural heat energy and light energy from the atmosphere.

The energy was directly absorbed into the cells and used by the mitochondria.

As to the specifics of how the energy is used and how it regenerates HP and STM he did not know.

Putting that at the back of his mind he decided to get some sleep as it was already 10 PM.

Sadly due to passive regeneration, all the fatigue he had built up was decreasing, so he was having a hard time falling asleep.

He opened his Hidden Skill tab.

[Limit Breaker]

[Experience Multiplier lv 5][5000 EXP for the next level up]

Experience Multiplier Lv 5- Multiplies all experience gained by x5 (Max level 10)

He was satisfied with the growth of the Experience Multiplier.

But several questions plagued him.

'Is there a limit to the Limit Breaker Skill. Can it only break the limits of my skill and body abilities.'

'If I created the Quasi-Flow skill then who created the Limit Breaker Skill. And why did I get this skill, was it given to me or is it just a coincidence.'

'And what exactly is the Brahmanic Creation Record and why is it helping humanity.'

These questions worried him a lot.

Suddenly thoughts of the Swarm God Cult, his father's death, and his comatose mother came up.

To distract himself he decided to level up the Basic Sword Arts once more and accumulate fatigue.

But he did not use Quasi-Flow as he still had not figured out how to exit at his own will.

He went downstairs and into the Training room that had a busted door.

He then practiced for 3 hours, his Basic Sword Arts leveled up once and Minor Sword Sense leveled up twice. The Passive Regeneration also leveled up once times making it 2 HP and 2 STM regeneration every 10 seconds.

But he did not feel any fatigue for exercise, in fact, he was not even sweating.

'This is strange, sweat is produced when we do strenuous actions to cool down our body, I have been doing the Basic Sword Arts for over 3 hours now but my body is not heating up or sweating.'

What Danny didn't know is that all the excess heat energy produced by his body during exercise was also absorbed by his cells due to the ability of the Passive Regeneration Skill.

So his body stays cool even if he does strenuous exercise. But this did not mean that he could not sweat, it's just that his current exercise is not producing enough heat.

The amount of STM he uses is lower than the amount of STM recovery.

He wanted to level up Basic Sword Arts to level 100 before learning other sword arts, because of the second remark left by the Brahmanic Creation Record.

After some thought, he decided to use Quasi-Flow. He figured that since had some free time now, he might as well try and figure out a way to exit the pseudo-Flow mental state at will.

He held his sword tightly in his hands and activated Quasi-Flow, his eyes became dull and lifeless and his actions became monotonous. His efficiency rose by 10 times.

Last time when he entered this mental state his conscious mind backed out and his subconscious mind took over.

This time he willed his conscious mind to stay awake. And it worked.

It felt like he was in a dream, where it feels real yet imaginary at the same time.

He also noticed something very odd, his INT and WIS was fluctuating at a very high speed. The numbers are changing too fast for him to keep track. He wanted to use the Extreme Energy Vision's Accelerated preception to see if numbers in slow motion, it even that was of no use.

'It's probably because of me accessing more of my brains capacity.'

After an hour, he exited the pseudo-Flow mental state.

He was happy with the result.

He took a bath again and tried to sleep again, he somehow managed to sleep.

*******************

The next morning.

Danny was filling up the online registration application for his Pro Hunter license.

He filled all the columns with personal information such as name and date of birth etc.

All that is left is to get his Uncle's signature on this, pay a small fee to the union government and also undergo the psych-evaluation.

Danny sighed as he thought of the psych-evaluation, the death of his parents have affected him mentally, he hopes he can pass it.

'I just have to pretend to be goody two shoes, wait am I not already a goody two shoes at school.'

He shook his head and thought of how he was going to convince his uncle.

'Although uncle loves me, he definitely won't pay to buy the Potion of Cleansing, and I can't just watch as my mom die while I know that I can save her.'

In all honesty, all though Danny wants to deny it deep down he knows that the chances of him being able to earn 6 billion credits plus the hospital bill in just 10 months is almost impossible.

But even if the odds are less than 1% he still hoped to save his mother.

He hoped for a miracle.

He looked at the clock and saw that it was almost noon, he had awoken at 10 AM, as he slept at 4 AM.

'I missed school again.'

He wondered if he should say goodbye to his group of friends, but decided against it. He was not good with goodbyes and he had meet them at the funeral so he figured that was as good as a goodbye could get.

He then considered posting a goodbye message on the class group chat but also decided against it.

For some reason, he just wanted to avoid saying goodbye.

It's not that he was too attached to his friend circle, it's just that he felt his stomach turn whenever he thinks of goodbyes.

Shaking his head he walked towards the training room. He wanted to distract himself from such repulsive thoughts and leveling up some skills will make him happy. But as he reached the broken door of the training room he suddenly remembered that he needs to buy and stock up rice and vegetables.

He groaned, took his Quantum Phone and walked to the main door.

************

He slowly walked to the supermarket, as his thoughts of saying goodbye to his class still haunted him. Every now and then thoughts of the Swarm God Cult also popped up.

'How the hell am I going to pass the psych-evaluation at this rate.'

As thoughts of psych-evaluation also popped up, his heart started to beat heavily and his breathing also became heavy.

'CRAP!! What is happening to me??' he thought as he kneeled on the ground.

He was having a Panic Attack.

All the pressure from saving his mother and destroying the Swarm God Cult made even the simple things like saying goodbye to his friends, shopping and the psych-evaluation seem like a big issue to him.

All the combined pressure took a toll on his mind and now causing a Panic Attack.

There was no one in his immediate surrounding to help. So it was up to Danny to save himself.

He was having a harder time breathing, the air felt very heavy. His heart started to hurt.

'Calm down Danny, calm down Danny...' he kept repeating to himself.

He could have used Quasi-Flow to alleviate the panic attack, but he didn't realize that he was having a panic attack, instead, he honestly thought he was having a heart attack.

But suddenly, he received a notification and the mental pressure from the panic attack decreased by a bit.

This allowed Danny to calm down and relax.

After a few seconds, he was fully relaxed.

'Did I just have a heart attack.'

He then looked through the notification.

[Due to extreme mental pressure you have received Debuff Panic Attack]

Panic Attack: (-1) WILL every 20 seconds.

[Due to your Limit Breaker Skill you have broken through and exceeded your mental limits, +1 INT, +1 WIS, +2 WILL.]

WILL is a hidden stat which depends on the will power of a person.

Once Danny realized that he just had a panic attack, he almost had another panic attack thinking of the psych evaluation.

But he reacted quickly, he took his Quantum Phone and watched a few sword master videos.

Ever since he was a kid he was fascinated by swords and watching sword performances relaxed his mind, this was mostly due to the fact that his father was also a sword artist.

After a few minutes of watching sweaty men swinging their swords, his mind calmed down and the Debuff was removed.

He wondered if he should still go shopping when his Quantum Phone started to ring.

He looked at the screen and his eyes widened in shock.

It was an emergency warning message from the Union Government.

It said that an unpredicted F grade Monster Tide was currently coming down from mountain range at the border of sector 3.

Sector 3 is where he lived in.

Although the Army of the Union Government and all the Hunters guild in Sector 3 have joined forces and already put up a defense line to block the Monsters.

But some monsters have passed through the defense line and entered the City 12 of Sector 3.

The message warned all citizens of City 12 and recommended to stay inside the underground bunker of their house and not come out until the Union Government gives them the green signal.

Ever since the Great Catastrophy 115 years ago, it was made compulsory that for every house to have an underground bunker with enough food to last a minimum of 3 months.

The message also asked all Hunters who are currently free to hunt down the monsters that had passed the defense line and depending on the number and grade of the monster they have killed monetary reward would be provided to the hunter.

'No shopping for today,' he thought as he decided to go back to his house.

When the concrete ground near his started to crack, he reacted quickly and jumped back. He used his x-ray vision to what was underground.

'Shit!! it's a Fat Rat.'

Fat Rat was an F grade Monster, its bite was strong enough to chew through steel, and they carry deadly pathogens.

A rat the size of a tiger before the Great Catastrophy burst out of the concrete floor and lunged at Danny with a roar. But he was prepared for it as he had already seen the rat with his x-ray vision.

He immediately activated his slow-motion vision and predicted the trajectory of the rat and dodged.

The rat slammed into the ground.

Furious, it turned towards Danny and roared.

Now he was faced with a choice should he run or should he fight.
