Orion Russell cursed inwardly as his legs struggled to move before the monstrosity looming above him, setting a dreadful shadow that consumed his full being. Tears welled up in his eyes as he stared at the 20 meter tall monster before him, the entity that would erase his existence within a few seconds. Yet, it wasn’t fear, or unwillingness he felt at that moment. It was hate. It was unbelief. It was betrayal.His ‘friends’ and lover had thrown him into the Nightmare Canyon, all for what? A treasure that would only be useful in the hands of the true geniuses of humanity. An item that would only be useful to him. That treasure had laid waste to the years of friendship and love he had built since the beginning of the Apocalypse. Years of protecting them and fighting alongside them. All reduced to dust because of one item.Orion’s hate filled eyes stared up at the monster before him and revealed a malicious smile. “I have to thank your appearance. Those bastards should still be in the ra

Orion inhaled as he got into a stance. Because of his new Class, he would have to explore a new approach to his battles. And what better time than during an actual fight.He gritted his teeth as the bullet lodged into his arm was pushed out by his squirming muscles before the hole began to close up on its own at a visible pace. Which was remarkable since his Constitution attribute was definitely not that high yet. Clearly his [Transcendent Regeneration] passive skill was doing its job quite well.Unfortunately his enemies had reached him before the injury was fully healed. Still, at least it wouldn’t affect his performance mid-fight.His eyes focused on the man on the right wielding a knife coated with a purple energy and his [Void Sight] got to work, producing a holographic panel before him._Name: UnknownClass: UnknownEther Scale: Lower Stage, 1st StratumCumulative Attribute: 207Skills:Poison Infusion (Level 1)_Orion’s eyes narrowed as he read through the system prompt, real

Orion's hands changed into claws as he started to fight and kill the first wave of Aberrants. Evangeline's actions also mirrored Orion's as she also moved towards the left side of the Aberrants and started attacking.The werewolf already knew how draining using the [Dark Manipulation] was so he decided against using it anymore, unless he found himself stuck in a precarious position. He took out the knife he had taken away from the trio he had killed after the Apocalypse began. It wasn’t sharp enough to deal with the tough skin of the stronger Aberrants but he had a way to work around that. His legs morphed tearing away at his pants while his bones shifting multiple times to adopt a digitigrade shape, increasing his height as a by-product. A muffled grunt left his lips though, the feeling of morphing his legs was completely different from his arms which didn’t need any major modification so a burst of pain kept attacking his nerves.Orion merely gritted his teeth. He wasn’t new to the

Orion, Evangeline, Marcus, Emma, Drake and Alex took measured steps while they carefully observed their surroundings as they moved forward.Orion ears suddenly twitched before growing longer, resembling that of a werewolf. The sight startled his teammates, but remembering the world they lived in now, they quickly calmed themselves down and asked silent questions with their eyes.He glanced at them and pointed at his ear. “I have two skills, I can change bits of my body into that of a werewolf. And, as you’ve noticed, I can also control darkness. Right now, this change is increasing my sense of hearing.”The five glanced at him in surprise as both those skills seemed really powerful. But they didn’t pry and simply accepted his answer.Orion, on the other hand, now finally understood what the ‘minute’ he had seen in his system meant. This was because whenever he chose to use the [Werewolf Transformation], it would either transform that area completely. He was unable to transform just hi

Orion noted the low – and still reducing – 27% his Ether reserves displayed to him through his system panel and clicked his tongue. ‘We have to finish this fast before I and Evangeline empty out our Ether.’He suddenly shifted to the side once more as the aberrant appeared beside him, its familiar blue markings shining brightly on its legs. Still, it seemed he had underestimated the intelligence within the aberrant because it abruptly swung its arms to the side.Orion grunted as he forced his body to bend backwards, barely dodging the sudden and unexpected attack. His body repositioned itself quickly, but he was now sporting a deep injury at the bridge of his nose. He then realized that if he were a second slower, he would have probably lost his eyes in that exchange. He had to clean the blood since it threatened to spill into his eyes and block his sight.The aberrant attempted to push its advantage but was forced to stop its charge when a gunshot rang out in the air. Its neck bent t
