>SQUISHr
“Select all!” I said impatiently.r
Immediately, the glowing purple cores poured out, landing on my hands.r
As I felt the sensation on my skin, the low energy they emitted made my body tingle.r
An icon appeared in front of me, just as I expected.r
[Hell Kobold Spawn’s Demon Core Equipped]r
[Hell Kobold Spawn’s Skill ‘Claw Attack’ Available]r
[Save Skill In Skill Slot?]r
[Yes] [No]r
With a nervous look and darting eyes, I glanced around me and accepted immediately.r
Immediately, one of the eight cores glowed. It dissipated, turning into little glowing particles as it merged with my body. I felt a tingle as the specks of energy entered me and slowly transformed into a surge. At that moment, I obtained a Skill, as well as the know-how of how to use it.r
The system is really useful!r
“Skraaaaa!!!!” Demons suddenly appeared around me. They numbered at least a Dozen, though I didn’t have enough time to get their accurate number.r
“Fvck!”r
I quickly placed the remaining cores unto [Subspace], saving them for later.r
Their eyes depicted rage as they saw their dead comrades, lunging toward me in unadulterated animosity.r
“Activate Skill: Claw Attack” I instinctively said.r
As my blood rushed due to the enemies which surrounded me, my fingernails suddenly started expanding, reaching unbelievable lengths in an instant. They grew darker and sharper, and I could feel they were sturdier.r
With no time to further observe my newly changed body, I stretched my hands toward one of the beasts which charged before me.r
My bladed nails immediately impaled it, piercing its skull as it died in an instant.r
“Whoo! Amazing.” I beamed.r
Two more jumped at me from behind and I quickly turned and launched both hands at them, cutting through their bodies in an instant. Five claws each pierced through portions of their body, causing them instant death.r
“Oh yeahhh!!!” I smiled, feeling a rush of excitement welling up within me.r
The Demons felt threatened by the sudden elimination of three of their comrades in an instant and stepped back, wary of me.r
“Scared now, are we?” I taunted, enjoying myself and the feel of superiority I emitted.r
Suddenly, an alarming beep sounded, followed by a system window in front of me.r
[ALERT!!!]r
r
r
Before I could read through the notification, my nails shortened in an instant, returning to their normal length.r
“Shit!” I exclaimed, realizing what had just happenedr
How could I forget? Every skill has a Duration Period!r
“Activate Skill: Claw Attack” I yelled.r
Immediately, a system icon appeared in front of me, showing me the information I dreaded.r
[System Notification]r
r
-tTime Left Until Next Use (09:56)r
Of course, there’s a Skill Cooldown too!r
“What the fvck! I have to wait for ten whole minutes?!” I yelled in desperation.r
Panic spread through me and I saw the Demons around me sneer at me as they opened their salivating mouths. Their growls filled everywhere, and I could tell they were ready to lunge at me and devour me whole.r
I made a big mistake, and now once again… I’m cornered!r
“Oh shit! I’m screwed!r
” Skrrrrrrriiiiiaaaakkk!”r
