Please, Select One Of The Following Skills
Time Was Frozen
Just a while ago I was agonizing, but now I am strangely calmed. For one moment I thought I had died again, however, the three images displayed in front of me proved me wrong. They were huge-shining panels that would blind anybody instantly. But, as I don’t have ‘eyes’, I didn’t pay much attention to this.
CELL DIVISION
Allows the user to divide itself into more identical cells. With enough energy, it can form an organism.
*The process can be reverted and, if the user has enough anatomic knowledge, it can adopt different kinds of organisms.*
BOOST
During a short span of time, the user will be able to upgrade temporarily its abilities. (+1 Grade)
*There are no drawbacks or after effects*
Time of usage: 20 Sec.
Cooldown: 2 Min.
REGENERATION
Any damaged, mutilated or missing part of the organism will be restored immediately.
*If the nucleus of the cell is destroyed completely, the user will die*
After reading all of them meticulously, I wondered if I was daydreaming.
“”Cell Division? Isn’t that supposed to be a given when I evolve?””, I muttered.
Honestly, the other two were appealing, but not enough. Cell division was without a doubt the most eye-catching one. This skill insinuated that I will be a single cell for the rest of my life unless I select it now. In a fight, boost would be the most useful. By choosing this ability, it would definitely become my trump card and catch my opponents off guard in the future. Also, regeneration was definitely a cheat. That’s if I wasn’t a cell. It’s pretty much meaningless to choose it at the moment, as it wouldn’t give me an advantage against the viruses.
“Then, what’s the energy used for? Isn’t it reserved to evolve? “ I questioned.

I had no clue. Boost and Regeneration functions were crystal clear, but cell division was unspecified. This situation could be compared with the Newcomb paradox, but in this case there’s no oracle. Moreover, I had a gut feeling about my plans and theories. It felt as if everything I had been thinking until now would shatter into pieces and a whole new concept would be found.
“”Ah...”” I sighed.
“Let's go with Cell Division. It’s a huge bet, but I’d rather choose it than the other two.”
Cell Division Acquired
Bonuses: +5.000 Energy and Metabolism B → A
“...”
“Are you serious?”
“5.000 ENERGY?! What are these cheat-like bonuses?!” I shouted.
It took me 24 days to save up 750 Energy, but I easily received 5.000?! And my Metabolism got upgraded as well?! Did the other two perks have similar extras too?
“This makes no sense...” If every cell had these skills and abilities in “the roots”, then those viruses wouldn’t stand a chance against them. The only reasonable answer is that I’m overdeveloped because I’m able to think rationally. In comparison with other cells, I was a ‘genius’.
Most cells didn’t actively seek nutrients as I did. The majority of cells would be small-sized or medium-sized and would stand still waiting for their meal, similar to a human being waiting for his pizza delivery. In contrast, I was a giant. I guessed that the progress I am currently making should be done in “The Garden”, where I suppose most cells reach their development peak.
After a while, I finally realised something.
“...”
“It makes sense. That 's it!”
All the information I had collected until this very moment started to correlate. The type of nutrients that could be found and their quality, the vast amount of overpowered viruses and the lack of both of them in peripheral areas, they all confirmed my theory:

Until You Do It Right
The world ended on December thirty-first of the year two thousand and twenty, precisely at the stroke of midnight. The human race began to be systematically exterminated by the spawn of the System. We were given a chance to defeat them, to take back our place at the top of the food chain. We failed. The first to perish were those who bravely rebelled. The soldiers. The defenders. One by one, they fell. In their final moments, they begged for aid. Nobody replied. The next to succumb were those who feebly cowered. The deniers. The leeches. Together, they fell. In their final moments, they cried out into the darkness. Countless voices replied in kind. The last to decline were those who shamelessly ran. The deserters. The cowardly. Alone, they fell. In their final moments, they whimpered quietly. There was nobody left to answer. The final human to die was a survivor. A runner. As he died, he begged for salvation. His prayers were answered. He was offered a chance to save himself, along with all of humanity, and he took it. This is his story. “I sat in the dark and thought: There’s no big apocalypse. Just an endless procession of little ones.”― Neil Gaiman, Signal to Noise. I am absolutely new to writing and will take any and all constructive criticism. Please give feedback, it is greatly appreciated. I will update the tags as they change, and I hope that you enjoy this little story I'm writing! Quick warning: Seamus is intentionally a flawed character, and this story is going to explore those flaws and perhaps even change a few of them. I do not agree with all of his actions, but it is what it is.

Tabula Rasa : An Unbound Adventure
It starts as many things do: a clean slate, an empty page. What once was set in stone and wholly writ is gone, and all that's left is the vague notion of absence, a fullness lacking.The feeling of being tetherless, pathless, without direction or responsibility is something many would find terrifying. Others might find it freeing - an opportunity to strike out on new adventures and explore the unknown.Either way, first they have to figure out where they are and how they leave. ====== My first novel on this platform! An avid GameLit/LitRPG fan, I decided to start writing this when I seemed to exhaust all of my options for well reviewed content on the site! Inspiration for the world/general feeling is a mix of Azarinth Healer, Abyssal Road Trip, Winterborn, and the Power of Ten series, with a strong reliance on 3.5 and PF1 frameworks as a scaffold for the world. I see Arc 1 as a Robinson Crusoe style coming to terms scenario, lots of exploration of the System, the MC's options, the island and encounters with the denizens and visitors of the Timeless Isle, with a non-zero amount of introspection around their long term goals. I'll publish as frequently as I'm able but don't have a regular cadence planned at the moment.

The Illusory Snake Demon King wrapped the snake's tail around his waist: "Do you really think you can run away? Every person you come into contact with after you escape is me." The mountain, the blood-stained golden palace: "Didn't you tell the emperor not to leave the palace, why is the emperor not good?" Su Li wanted to cry without tears.
