I Can Upgrade My Talent In Everything

"A monster! Run!"

"Ahhhh!!!!"

"Help!!!!!"

Screams resounded in the street as the entry of the monster. The bustling scene turned into an almost apocalyptic one. People run against each other causing a stampede, there is even a boy that got run over by a group of people and died.

Some fell on the ground because of panic, and those with weak bodies had their bones broken. Fear enveloped the entire street, as Brick's scary figure walked across the street.

"You will all die!" Brick gradually increased his pace and slashed a running man with his left hand.

Blood spurted like a fountain, as a head was cut neatly. The man has his eyes wide open before he died.

"Ahhhhh!" A desperate scream of a woman echoed as she witness the cruel scene. The woman fell to the ground with a thud, with tears in her eyes.

Suddenly, two tentacles pierced her mouth and came out at the back of his head. The scene was bloody, then his body turned was sucked dry of vitality like a dry leaf. "Shut up, bitch."

Brick Norty raised his hands, then some bits of pieces of his body flew around him, and they turn into a sharp projectile.

The people saw it and had bad feelings in their hearts. They ran with all their might as their lives depends on it. Some manage to widen the distance and are about to escape.

But would Brick let them? With a wave of his hands, the projectiles that were part of him became sharper.

Just like that, hundreds of small projectiles shot out like a bullet in different directions at a fast speed.

A man running thirteen meters away from Brick looks left and right, gasping for breath. Nervousness, fear, and other sorts of emotions were visible on his face. 'Damn monster! Fortunately, I can still run this fast.'

The man still continued his pace even though he thinks that he was already at a safe distance. He felt pity for those people that were closer to the monster and was sad at the people who died. Some of there were even familiar to him.

As he turned his head to look back, he saw the figure of the monster far away that almost look like a large dot because of the distance.

No matter how to fit a normal human is, he would undoubtedly need to rest for a while because of a short burst of speed. When the man felt a little safe, the adrenaline he experienced gradually wear off. Now, he could feel the tiredness.

'I'm already eighteen meters away from the monster. It should be okay to take a breather for a minute.' The man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his trembling hands.

The scene where the monster killed ruthlessly, harvesting lives like humans were chicken, and the creepy tentacles and eyeballs made the man shiver even when the sun was at its peak.

The head of another person lying on the ground with wide eyes, and the woman that got his head busted, was still etched on his mind. 'Shit! Where did this monster come from!?'

Just as he was about to continue his run after a one-minute break, blood seeped out of his mouth. A hole the size of fingernails appeared on his forehead.

THUD!

The man's body fell to the ground, now bathed with his own blood. This scene played around on every corner of the street. People continuously fell to the ground like a domino. All of them had one similarity: they had a hole in their forehead.

Of course, those who were lucky and still alive witnessed the simultaneous death of people. Such a traumatic experience made the face of the survivors as pale as sheets of paper.

"Bullseye." Brick Norty nodded his head with satisfaction and looked at the dozens of survivors that had their steps frozen. They didn't dare to move at all for fear of being the next target. 'These guys are stupid... Did they think I would spare any of them if they did that? Such a pathetic display!'

Brick Norty took his axe and turned his head at a man with brown hair, green eyes, sharp eyebrows, and a small face.

He has a particularly big stature, signs that he lifts weight. He wore a black trench coat that concealed his physique, and he had a mole on his left temple.

His middle-length brown hair and unkempt beard made him look mature... Unlike others, the man was taking small steps back to quietly get away from him. Which ironically attracted Brick's attention instead.

'Well, there's one that isn't that stupid. But you will still die.'

The man stood stiffly in place and stopped what he was doing, as he saw the monster's gaze land on him.

'No, please don't. Oh, my god, please don't go here.' Lucian began to pray in his heart.

But it didn't help anything, as the monster began to walk in his direction. His every step made the ground tremble.

'Goddamnit! It's do or die!'

Lucian greeted his teeth as he remembered the precious smile of his daughter and his virtuous wife waiting for him at home. 'No, I can't die here yet, just like this! I have a daughter waiting for me.'

So, he steeled his heart and looked at the faces of everyone. 'I'm sorry everyone...'

"If you don't run, we will still gonna die! You know it to yourselves. This fucking won't spare anyone! If we don't act, we would die without doing anything!!" Lucian shouted with all his strength, and veins started to come surfaced on his neck.

As he was done saying this, he ran with all his might from the opposite direction of the monster. He needed to survive, no matter what!

The people looked at each other in silence as realization appeared in each of their eyes, but the fear still caused them to hesitate.

"The man was right." A teenager spoke suddenly, then started to run for his life.

Human has an instinctive reaction to follow others. You only need a person to step out and set an example, then others would follow automatically. So with that, the survivors ran again, but now in the same direction.

'Damn human!' Brick Norty became angry as he saw his plan crumble because of one person.
