Blood Assimilation

However, not many people thought this way, like the others who thought they had an auditory hallucination.

That was because some people reacted very quickly to the sudden warning from the mysterious voice and instantly grasped the situation at hand.

After all, even if that mysterious voice just now was lying to them or messing with them, they cannot lie about the many cubic shapes things that were hovering everywhere.

Judging from what they heard from the voice, those cubic shapes things were most likely the dimensional prisons that it mentioned just now.

And if what they said was true, then within those cubes lies many terrifying beasts of some kind that would, at an unknown time, pounce out of the cubes to attack them.

Even if there were no beasts inside, there was still a chance that those things could be explosives set up by the owner of that mysterious voice.

Therefore, with different thoughts from different people, some people were running as far as they could from the mysterious cubic-shaped things, and others proceeded to stand there, not willing to be convinced that something like those small cube-looking things could house terrifying beasts inside.

After all, there was no common sense that could describe or explain something like this.

Not long after that, all over the world, various dimensional rifts suddenly appeared almost at the same time.

Some dimensional rifts were spewing out intelligent lifeforms that seemed to be observing their new environments closely without any actions, and other dimensional rifts were spewing out salvage monsters that caused havoc the moment they appeared in their world.

Many people were still unconvinced and stood in front of the suddenly appeared dimensional rifts and looked on in curiosity.

Not long after that, they quickly lost their lives to both the intelligent lifeforms and the wild and savage creatures that poured out of the rifts shortly after.

It was then that the humans understood the gravity of the situation, but even though they understood it, it did not mean that mean that they had a solution to the problem at hand.

But then, all of a sudden, they recalled the mysterious and otherworldly voice just a few hours ago and about what it said that they could get powers to fight against the monsters, but they had no idea how they would get their hands on such powers at the moment and thus was helpless.

At that point, some brave men, who perhaps were military-trained soldiers, took out their guns and started fighting against the monsters, but the bullets only bounced off the creature's body.

And just as one of the soldiers was about to be bitten by a fierce wolf that suddenly pounced on him, his entire body suddenly exuded a silver light that blinded everyone within the proximity close to him.

The next moment, the soldier's arms turned into silver, or more precisely, they transmuted into a metallic silver color that was so hard that the wolf that bared its fangs at his arm lost its teeth afterward.

Shortly after, a voice suddenly echoed in the mind of the perplexed soldier.

⟪[Ability Formed Successfully]⟫

⟪[Congratulations! You have awakened as a Metallic Warrior, granting you the ability to transmute parts of your body fully or partially into metals by using the metals you have absorbed into your body beforehand. By doing this, you can strengthen your defense and attack power tremendously depending on the type of metal absorbed]⟫

"What the hell? The blades of my knives are gone?! Don't tell me this is related to what the voice said just now?" The soldier muttered in disbelief.

At this time, he realized that the two knives that he was holding lost their blades, and only the handle remained.

Seemingly, those blades were absorbed into his body, seeing as how his arm is shining in a silver metallic luster.

He proceeded to wonder what had happened to him.

However, the voice from before echoed once again in his mind. Followed by a projected screen in front of his vision.

"What the hell is this? Is that a game window?" The soldier exclaimed in shock and bewilderment when he saw the projected screen in front of his eyes.

Meanwhile, the others who watched the soldier were speechless, not knowing how to react. Because what they were witnessing right now was simply unimaginable and shocking.

That soldier just now was about to die to that fierce wolf, and then, suddenly, his body glowed in a blinding silver light.

Shortly after the light settled down, the soldier's arms changed color and now shined with a silver metallic luster, almost as if his arms had turned into steel.

Not only that, the fierce wolf from before also lost its teeth when it suddenly bit into the soldier's arm that has turned into metal.

According to common sense, this feat should not be possible, and thus, the bystanders watched the confused soldier with their mouths slightly agape.

A short while later, the soldier quickly calmed himself down and proceeded to ignore the status screen in front of him.

And then, he utilized this unknown power that he acquired to chase and fight against the retreating wolf.

…

In other parts of the battlefield, many other people were also awakening to their powers at this time.

"Hahaha! This power is truly amazing! It's like a game! It says that I am Flame Warrior!" An energetic young man said in excitement and immediately launched a fist covered in flame toward an approaching humanoid creature with red skin.

"Hah!"

Boom!

The red-skinned creature instantly incinerated without leaving behind anything a moment later when it came into contact with his scorching flame fist.

"You think that is amazing? Watch this!" Another young man with glasses mocked this person after he saw the other party's attack just now.

"Oh flame, the bearer of destruction, I command thee to burn all my enemies into cinders!"

A huge fireball manifested in front of bespectacled young man , and then he shouted afterward as he shot the huge fireball outward.

"Great Fireball!"

Swoosh!

BOOM!!

A moment later, a loud resounding explosion occurred in the distance. Countless humanoid monsters were killed by the flame attack just now.

"What the fuck! How can you dish out more attack damage than my flame fist! What is your class?!"

"Hmph! Flame Warrior? More like Flame Fist. It's not like your entire body can turn into flames or anything. As you can see, I am a Fire Mage. Do you think I am someone like you?" The fire mage mocked again before speaking in a boastful and gloating tone.

"Fuck! That's cheating!" The flame fist guy complained in discontentment.

"Blame it on your simple-mindedness for getting such a simple ability!" The fire mage retorted.

…

Similar events were happening all around the country, the city, and essentially, all over the world. Many people had suddenly awakened to their various powers just as the mysterious and otherworldly voice said to them.

However, after many victories, they failed to realize that the monsters that came out of the dimensional rifts at this time were weak and that the subsequent monsters and beasts that would come out afterward would be more horrible.

"Argh!! Someone, please save me!"

"What the hell are these things? Why isn't my ability working on them?!"

"Don't tell me that the monsters coming out are getting stronger?!"

"Shit! We're done for! Ahhhhh!"

Various voices echoed across the battlefield, some were the screaming in painful voices of humans and the others were the howling voices of the monsters and beasts.

Essentially, various voices resounded everywhere, and many people lost their lives despite awakening their powers. That was simply because they were no match for the monsters that came out of the dimensional rifts afterward.
