A sharp intake of air was forcefully shoved down my throat.
Cough!
Cough!
I gasped and sat up in shock
I looked around, nothing seemed out of place...excluding the destruction and fire.
My whole body throbbed and stung.
"Fully recovered my ass..." I mumbled under my breath.
I analyzed the message with anticipation.
"Wait for a second...has it been 2 days?!"
"Anyway...this is cool...what should I choose?... I think I should go with-"
After reading the new message I didn't even hesitate to choose the [Bonus].
I mean... it's a once-in-a-lifetime chance...I think. Plus my skill is going through a [evolution]! Most times that means that it's getting improved, and it was already helpful.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
And somehow I feel that the weapons are not going to live up to my expectations...and even if they do this is an era where there are literal guns, tanks, and nukes. I don't think they will be extremely useful.
The moment I choose, a library's worth of combat information is driven into me.
"ARRRRAAAAGH!"
I scream out in agony. My muscles twitch and are fed new types of muscle memory. My brain is overloaded with an unprecedented amount of information. Sirens sounding like nails on a chalkboard resound from every corner of my brain. The torture lasts for what feels like weeks.
And finally... it stops.
HACK!
HACK!
HACK!
I was gasping for air on the ground in pain. It took me several minutes after it stopped to calm down.
Instantly everything went dark. A light coming from the sky cast a circle spanning 3 meters around me.
I...I can see.
I can see!
In the 3 meters circle around me, I can "see" perfectly clearly. Every detail. Every grain of stone on the ground. I could feel the gas in the air, and the heat radiating around me. It was like all my 5 senses were added together into one-sixth sense.
So this is what it means by "the host has an incredible perception of opponents and the users surrounding areas".
I try casting my "gaze" further away, but it soon becomes blurry like looking through a thin wall of translucent glass and beyond 5 meters it becomes undetectable and I have to rely on my sight.
"Okay...I think maybe...just maybe...it was worth the pain."
"It was definitely worth it."
