Rise From The Deep

The Churner gets hit in it's head and stumbles back. The exoskeleton armor around it is now destroyed.

what, just happened. I'm pretty sure I was about to die. So how did I just injure a creature that's 2 ranks higher than me. Actually, when did I learn that skill. I'm re.....

Crougk!

The churner launches its attack again. Kais dodges it by jumping over it and running along its stomach. The creature retracts its " tongue" and drops kais. He is falling down onto it. It's head is now fully exposed. It's made out of a soft flesh so its now an exposed vital point. It stretches its arms back for an attack but...

" Pierce"

As kais' fist contacts the churners head, it begins to fizzle. The force of impact travels through it straight like a javelin and creates a hole leading through the creature. It's wound was cauterized instantly by the sheer force of his punch.

<{ lvl up 4-^6}>

Woah, lucky me. 2 lvls from one enemy. I must have been close to leveling up so taking it down pushed me over the edge. Now, I.....

<{ Lactic acid build up --critical lvl-- ((muscle damage 41%))}>

WHAT IN ALL THAT IS HOLY!!

argggh*

Kais falls to the floor and writhes in pain.

Arrrgh, guess it finally wore off huh? damn.

POV- 1 min ago.....

Guess I'm going to die here. I really thought I was going to be one of the greats. Maybe even challenge Talkur's Theater ( A notorious dungeon known for having claimed the highest number of high ranking psychics' lives in the world ). I also didn't think I'd die a virgin. I should have just gotten a prostitute at least once.

<{ DANGER DETECTED.... ^^enemy rank F+^^}>

what?

<{ DISABELING BIOLOGICAL LIMITERS }>

huh?

<{ SCOUT job upgrade ---> RANGER}>

Oh, that's nice. Usually you have to get to lvl 30 before your class has a chance to lvl up. But, what's going on. My ID tablets speaking. I don't remember buying an AI assistant package.

<{ DEFENDER class change---> HUNTER}>

I've... never heard of this. I guess all psychics could be called hunters in a sense, but someone getting this as a job....

<{ Temporarily increasing stats.... (( INSTINCT lvl up o-^1)) skill gained, REFLEX lvl:1}>

Ok, I get it. My brain must be hallucinating or something because I died of a heart attack thanks to fear.

<{ CEREBELLUM restructuring complete// full nervous system enhancement initiating// STIMULATING the Basil Ganglia || DEFENSE PROTOCALS underway// combat ready in T-minus 30 seconds... \\

Isn't this taking to long? Death, I mean.

Now that I think about it, That churner does look like it's moving in slow motion. Can you get a move on please?? some of us have places to be. just kill me already!!!

<{ DEACTIVATING PSUEDO RELATIVITY CORE}>

The what now?

The churner goes from zero to 30 real quick and initiates its attack.

Finally.

<{ SELF PRESERVATION PROTOCALS ENGAGED|| BODILY FUNCTION CONTROL is being passed onto your sub-conscious mind|| will IMMEDIATELY relinquish control once target has been dropped}>

Just let it kill me. I have nothing to live for anyways.

<{ NO CAN DO }>

** FLASHBACK ENDS **

Well, I should check my stats to make sure I'm not dreaming.

RANK: F

RACE: HUMAN ( EVOLVED )

CLASS: HUNTER

AUXILIARY JOB: RANGER

TITLES:

Son Of A Gun II

Born To Die III

Runt

3 Eyed Psycho

Bottom-Feeder

I ranked up and got two new titles... NICE!!

Oh I really hope this isn't just my imagination. I wonder what bonus these titles gives me.

Bottom-Feeder

Aquatic type enemies that are either weaker than you or weakened by you will fear you.

- 20% to all stats of an aquatic type dimensional terror.

3 Eyed Psycho

+ 3 PER +2 INT ( Per lvl up )

Oh my god, it scales with lvl. This is literally the best day of my life. I'm not even mad Mart and Reinde took my power and tried to kill me. I'm still going to kill them tho. I'm not a bad guy so I wouldn't kill people who don't deserve it. So I guess I'll only kill Martel since he's the one who pushed me down. Now, on to my stats and skills.

Vitality: 10

Strength: 12

Endurance: 6

Dexterity: 12

I don't know like, two of these but still. I am no longer a loser, I'll use these new powers to make mad bank. But if I want to become a rich/ world famous psychic I'll need to get out of here alive first. I don't have a weapon and I'm pretty tired, but if.... No, I will get out of here. Even if I have to rip apart every single creature In-between me and the exit gate. I'll go forwards and try to find a way out of this ravine.

After 27 minutes of walking and 3 more enemy encounters plus 1 lvl up later, Kais reaches the edge of the ravine. There's a steep way down the cliff side which should take him down to the same level as the exit.

I don't think I can make this.

Oh stop, that's something the old you would say.

Yeah, but it's a valid point.

Just run, jump, and let fate handle the rest.

Before I could realize it I had already jumped off the edge and entered a nose dive position.

Oh sh*t.
