I CAN UPGRADE MY TALENT IN EVERYTHING

As the monster finished eating, the three degu users. It refocused its attention on the surrounding environment devoid of people. It could even hear the rustling wind as the place became quiet.

'Now, now, now... Where did they go??' The monster got up from his place. He left three shrivel corpses like a dried flowers on the ground.

After he absorbed their energy and vitality. The monster could feel that the power of his physique had improved again. Not only that, but he could also transform much faster than before.

The monster scanned the place that got destroyed because of the fight. Although he wasn't hit by the five stars that contain a terrifying amount of energy. It almost demolishes half the place. The previous establishment and houses had turned into dust. And the ground had cracks everywhere as if the place had just experienced a powerful earthquake.

Broken parts of carriages strewn in the ground, along with the body parts of humans, and corpses that were enough to form a mountain. There were also traces of blood on the ground and walls. And some buildings were burned on the ground. Even the monster was confused about why they caught fire when he didn't have any fire-related abilities.

Just like that, the monster walked around the city to find his unconsumed goods. He doesn't intend to leave any survivors, because that would alert the nearby cities. When that happens, his path to S rank would become more difficult as the resistance of humans would drastically increase.

But if he becomes an S-rank creature, he can go wild as much as he wants. After all, he was literally invincible in the same rank. Just like now, he was only A rank but he can kill the peak of his realms with the help of his speed form with ease.

As he was about to turn left on the two-way road, the powerful olfactory system provided by his bloodhound nose caught dozens of familiar body odors. His nose twitched as the smell was too thick.

An evil smile full of violence appeared on the monster's face. 'Do you think you can really escape? Now obediently become my food.'

Brick Norty, or specifically, the monster that controlled Brick's body, hates humans with its entire being. It was as if he was programmed just to eradicate humans on the face of the planet. So, he just took it as his sole mission. After all, he could also grow stronger if he devoured them, so he can't see anything wrong with it. For him, humans are only a bunch of waste that pollutes the world. A bunch of trashes that he needed to dispose of.

...

In a wide, sixty-meter white stadium, mainly used by the people in the city when they perform cultural activities.

A crowd of people hid inside, and they look fearfully at the thick steel gate, which was also the entrance and exit of the stadium.

The people inside numbered by thousands. Nervousness, fear, and anxiety were clearly written on their faces as if they had just suffered a traumatic experience that they would never forget in their lives.

The inside of the stadium didn't have anything except for white walls, red seats from every corner, and some musical instruments.

"I don't want to die yet. Are we safe here brother?" A black-haired kid, with baby fats on his cheeks, asked his brother with a trembling voice.

Joshua looked at his brother with a gentle smile. As a big brother, he needs to make sure that his younger brother is safe, and he also has to put up a strong front even though he himself didn't know if they could live another day.

He leaned closer to his younger brother and patted his head... Since their mother and father died in an accident. He had stood as a mother, father, and brother to his younger brother. Joshua was always worried about Josh, because of his frail body, and unhealthy lifestyle.

'God, if you're there... Please save my brother. I want my brother to live even if it means exchanging for my life. I love my younger brother deeply. Please God, Help him.' Joshua began to pray for Josh's safety.

"Don't worry Josh. We are in Fragaria stadium... That monster won't be able to find us, and even if he indeed finds us, he won't be able to destroy the thick steel wall at the entrance." Joshua had a confident smile on his, plus his straight back, which made him believable. "And don't worry, I'm here. Brother will always protect you!"

_{𝑓r𝘦𝘦𝘄eb𝒏𝙤vel.c𝙤𝙢}

Josh nodded meekly, but he felt less nervous as he heard his brother's assurance. His arms gradually stopped trembling. And he looked at his brother with worship. 'As long as my brother is here.'

Seeing this, Joshua smiled. He has a little secret that other people didn't know. He was a degu user, and he could access a different kind of force that gave him super speed. 𝒇𝗿eℯ𝑤ℯ𝑏n𝑜ѵe𝑙.c𝐨𝗺

Joshua named it 'Velocity Force'! This is like a different dimension that lets his body use force and lets his body move and react faster. He becomes so fast that his environment would appear slow.

The Velocity Force didn't only give him speed. He had trained it and created different applications which improved his survivability.

Joshua used it to run around the city and save people from the hands of degu users like him that used their powers for their own gains. It has been a year since he awakened. Well, he was hit by lightning, and he didn't know if the lightning gave him power or just woke up something that was already inside him.

Now, he could run forty-five minutes per hour! As his realm gets stronger, his speed also improves.

Unfortunately, he was injured while trying to save a person in the hands of a degu criminal and injured his right foot. And it will only completely heal after two months' rest.

Now, his mobility was reduced, and he can't use his power to move around for longer, because it would only worsen his injury, which might impair his left foot for life!

Joshua caressed his injured left foot, and his face contorted in pain. When remembered the aura of the monster, a feeling of dread dawned upon him.
