Chapter 35 - Before Game 5 (1)

I sat in front of the new shop. Today was after Thomas' murder spree.

Either people didn't want to come in because of me, or it was because of Thomas. The Artist and The Writer should learn about my deed here. Well, they would, probably. Thomas may or may not over-react about it to them. I don't know much about him other than he's a murderous bastard.

That mascot on the coins. It seemed it was an integral part of the ship I'm on. It was everywhere in the store. He was wearing equipment, or holding tools or weapons. The loneliness was honestly killing me here, so I was wasting time by looking through the shop. It wasn't useless either, as I had picked up a decent shield. It was "made from the ashes and bones of a predatorial pluto beast."

I don't know what that meant, but it did look like it was a decent shield. It had the specs all laid out, the height, width, other important information for me, including the weight, of course. It was apparently.. Well, really heavy. At least for old me, it was 30 lbs, which meant it must be a decent shield, or there was no point in carrying it around. I picked out a "Bullet-proof" helmet, to protect my skull, then a "Braizen-fiber tunic" for my torso. Unfortunately, I ran out of funds, so that was all I got. For the… Specifications, they didn't quite look the part. The tunic had claimed to be stab-proof, and similarly resistant to most blunt attacks. That was the main point of my money loss.

That, and the shield was just most of my saved up money. The helmet wasn't much, thankfully. I had just enough for food today. Not like eating matters with what I got on my side. The items would arrive in my cell within an hour. The timer for the game's start was only 15 minutes after. Just gotta wait for a little bit longer. Abby was at my side, really my only friend now.

"You bought some interesting things. I thought they looked rather useless compared to their real capabilities." I shrugged as I slumped back into my cell.

"You gonna off yourself again after getting the knowledge you need?"

"Yeah, probably."

I scratched my head before dropping onto my bed. I thought 'Bonus Features' and the list popped up near my head,

/-----------\

Advanced Eye Lv. 3, Blood Clotting Lv. 1, Regenerative Capabilities Lv. 1, Pain Withstanding Lv. 1, Extraterrestrial Language Understanding Lv. 1, Enhanced Limbs Lv. 2, Flexible Limb Lv. 2, Hearing Lv. 5, Incite Lv.1, Lung Capacity Lv. 3, Will of a Director Lv. 1, Short Weapon Mastery Lv. 2 (Unclaimed), Connected Conscious Lv. 5 (Max), Human Memory Lv. 10 (Max).

\-----------/

I looked at the long list of skills. I looked through everything again, as I noticed only two skills that weren't possible with some form of bodily enhancement. "Incite" and "Will of a Director" everything else was either something mental, or physical. However, I believe I've gotten another hint at how those two and the resurrection works.

Advanced Eye Lv. 4

As compensation for losing your right eye forever, you now have the power of two eyes within your left one.

Your vision is perfect! You have depth perception! You have the ability to notice slight mistakes easier! Your right eye looks undamaged! Can be leveled up through natural usage of all abilities. (Cannot get xp faster using normal xp bonuses)

Lv. 3 improvements: Even smaller details can be spotted. You have one more color cone. You can zoom in your eye by 2x.

Lv. 4 improvements: Using [Redacted until you reach a certain level], you can see the world much slower than usual, for a max of 10 seconds. 10 minute cooldown.

\-----------/

Ah, maybe it was a bit of wishful thinking it would get so much better.. No, wait, I wanted a hint about the orange shit? It was there when I woke up early, and it was covering my vision when I used it earlier. I sighed, tapping on the other two skills that got increased levels.

/-----------\

Short Weapon Mastery Lv. 2

- "Hyah! Hut! Hah!"

As a passive skill, this increases your proficiency with a blade! You, by default, have basic knowledge of a blade, and you get a minor stat boost when a blade is in your hand (x1.2 to strength)

Lv. 2 Improvements: You get a better stat boost (x1.5), you can perform better techniques with a blade in hand!

Connected Consciousness Lv. 5 (Max)

- "I'm Casper! The friendly conscious!"

You can see, hear, and speak to a connected mind! They know what you see and hear, know not what you know, but you can share!

Lv. 4 Improvements: The conscious can interact with you like normal, and can even know some of what you know!

Lv. 5 Improvements: The conscious and you are very close to one and the same. They share the majority of memories with you, and share your senses. They can influence your dreams, as well, if needed.

\-----------/

Ah, I do not recall checking these skills, well, maybe I just missed checking one, the short weapon mastery was rather self-explaining. I turned off the TV and waited there, Abby was looking at me, and I was looking at her. "Are you missing something?"

I stared back quietly, before planting my hand on my forehead in surprise. "WAIT, I THINK I AM?"

I thought the word 'Extras' and and saw-
