Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Strange Environment.

The fall into the ground seems eternal, at least from the biased perspective of the general population.

This is because of the painful sensation of suffocation that is experienced by every single person across the world of Karmdaris, even those who are holding their breath.

However, the reality is distinct, after sinking into the supersolid floor, the people fell by a second and a half, and they descended one meter down approximately.

Although the impact is slightly painful for those who do little to not exercise at all; It is worth to mention too, that those who were wearing inappropriate footwear, such as heels or sandals, have a worse landing.

{What is going on?!}

Dackör's consciousness finally manages to focus, regaining his breath after his body felt like if were squashed by an hydraulic press.

The feeling was similar to swim and dive into the depths of the ocean, descending or ascending extremly fast, getting affected by the sudden change in pressure.

{Where am I?, No, Where we are?}

The mental doubt of Dackör is more than valid, as he is standing over a well kept grass that has a green yellowish neon shade, resembling the hair tone of Guillderon.

Except for the obvious oddity in coloration, the ethereal neon glow in every single leave is unsettling.

Still, the most strange feature is the deep indigo sky with ink like consistency; Yet, anyone with a tiny bit of intelligence, will notice the bright silver letters.

Challenge Starts In → 00:00:03:11

{Challenge?}

Along Dackör's thought, appears in front of him a flying message with the same silver coloration, depicting a weird list.

Challenge = Type Of Will

• 3,862 Participants

Emperor's Will = 3,862 / 3,750

Monarch's Will = 3,862 / 2,500

Duke's Will = 3,862 / 2,000

Marquise's Will = 3,862 / 1,500

Jarl's Will = 3,862 / 1,000

Earl's Will = 3,862 / 500

Count's Will = 3,862 / 250

Baron's Will = 3,862 / 125

• Survive For Five Hours

• Xenz = Time Per Coefficient Flow

{What is this blabber about?, And how do I get rid of it?, is Annoying!}

The interface disappears from Dackör's sight, as he observes his surroundings.

A lot of people is as confused as him, some others have floating interfaces near them.

Silver is the most common tone of this floating messages, but brown like coffee with milk, and deep indigo are seen too.

{Why are this things different?}

As Dackör looks at the people around, he can notice that the cashier is staring at him, and she has a deep indigo interface near her innocent and panicked face.

Dackör Kruelckdom

Class UTILITY • Level 0

{Why is about me?, Shouldn't be about her?}

With this thought, a new interface pops up in front of Dackör.

Kaíla Bloargseom

Class SUPPORT Level 0

{I see, the Deep Indigo message allows us to see the Name along the strange designation; So she wanted to know about me}

With this simple realization, Dackör discovers an easy solution for one of his questions.

{What if I want to know about Myself?}

The answer comes in the form of another message, as this new interface has the letters of brown milky coffee shade.

Dackör Kruelckdom

Class Orgasmcer

Level 0

Improvement • 0 / 1,200

Coefficient Flow • 33

Cell Capacity • 22

Xenz • 0

The short young man rapidly dissipates the interface; He knew about his overall development in manipulating Nuvlierz Energy, but 33 Mitochondrias per hour is above of what Dackör was aware.

{Isn't this mean, I was scammed every time I sold my Cells in exchange for Karms?}

Dackör frowns with impassive fury that is burning whiting him; The short young man hate with all his might, thiefs and scammers alike.

This is because the first Woman with whom Dackör was intimate, ended up succumbing to an illness for which there was a cure.

However, the treatment was long and extremely expensive, which forced most people to search for an alternative solution.

Of course, none of this variable paths were viable or functional, and in some isolated cases, this "Treatments" worsen the already delicate state of some patients, accelerating their demise.

"How did you do that?!"; Demands the tall young man, who is not too far away; Yet, his voice is loud enough to catch several glimpses in his direction.

"I don't understand what you are saying"; Say Dackör with cynic and sarcastic intonation, shrugging off the question as he keeps scanning his inmediations.

This proves to be partially fruitful, as the countdown in the sky ends, and the deep Indigo Ink changes its colour, having a silver hue.

And now, a new countdown replace the previous one, possessing the Deep Indigo shade.

Challenge Ends In → 00:04:59:54

The clear tone of the sky illuminates better the entire meadow, allowing any person to discern more easily the silhouettes of something approaching.

At first instance, this relaxes several people, foolishly believing that it is a rescue team.

But they couldn't be more wrong, because a rabid horde of Jackrabbits is heading towards the crowd.

But there is a small detail that freeze in place most people, as these white rabbits are enormous, being larger and more robust than a Maned Wolf.

Yet, they are faster than a Greyhound; As this mad animals are galloping at top speed, surpassing and maintaining with ease a velocity of 65 miles per hour.

Nevertheless, a closer inspection reveals distinct details; The Jackrabbits have a circular metal plate embedded in their foreheads, but it looks natural, the same applies to the small single horn that some of these animals possess instead of the plate.

Still, all of this Jackrabbits have two yellow eyes and big fangs protruding from their wide maws.

While it is true that rodents tend to have strong front teeth, in this case, they are actually fangs, sharp and sturdy, made for piercing flesh and crushing bones.

{This is bad}

Instinctively, Dackör reaches into the pocket of his backpack to pull out his Pistol, remembering a simple fact.

{I already used the four Cells the cartridge can store}

Unlike conventional projectile Weapons in which magazines store bullets; Weapons that employ Nuvlierz Energy are more effective, reliable and safe, the drawback, is their storage capacity.

The built in battery in the Weapons of Nuvlierz Energy can only accept Full Cells to be recharged.

That means 120 Mitochondrias of Nuvlierz Energy to make a Cell, for a total of 480 Mitochondrias to satiate the battery's capacity; Even for Dackör is impossible to fill the battery's capacity after using all his Cells in the Shooting Range Club, amusing the Rich People who attended said resort.

Unluckily for him, there is an obvious alternative; Using the Coefficient Flow of his own body to create energy attacks.

However, Dackör's accuracy with this method is awful, to say the least.

While he is an astonishing Marksman slash self taught Gunslinger; The same doesn't apply to Energy Strikes emitted by him.

He is absolute garbage in such discipline, as Dackör can fail a target that is only two meters away from him…
