《Battlefield NYC (LitRPG Apocalypse)》Chapter 14: Skill Enhancing
Advertisement
Sophie didn't say anything. Instead she turned around and crawled closer to Lance so that they could be close to each other while also keeping an eye on the exit. There were no windows here either: not that it would matter much if one of those men came back to check up on them again or if someone else tried to come inside to hurt them, but he was worried about getting stuck in this building with nothing outside for miles. He wanted to know what was happening if he heard something. If he saw people coming towards him. What was safe?
Besides, this building was weird. It had far more floors than it had earlier, and the layout was nothing like he'd remembered. Had the advent of the System done it?
Speaking of which, what was with that? The text that had appeared in front of everyone's eyes, granting them superhuman abilities--he'd been too busy not dying to think about it, but how the hell was it working? What metrics did it run off of?
He'd have to ask Sophie later—maybe she knew more about this whole situation than he did right now. For now though, Lance focused his attention back onto the door. Lance thought to himself,
***
Lance got to work before long: there was still plenty to be done while Sophie slept on the floor. They both needed rest; they weren't invincible after all. Some of the bodies on the floor were armed, and he made sure to collect as many guns from them as he could carry, ensuring that he had ammunition for them. He'd noticed [Mind Attack] had run into issues earlier. Lance couldn't solely rely on his Special Abilities, he knew that much. If things ever turned bad again like they had in this room tonight, he wouldn't know what to do. He'd only been able to use one of those abilities at once and even then, it hadn't worked quite right—he wasn't used to using them yet. That might change soon if these two or three hours gave him time to think about anything other than surviving though.

Lance closed his eyes, drawing on his status.
Name : Lance Samson
─ Race : Human
─ Level : 3
─ Class : None
─ HP: 19; Magic: 21; Strength: 18; Agility: 23; Luck: 20
─ Status Points: 6
─ Skills : Speed (S) +2; Perception (P); Stealth (E)
─ Skill Points: 11
─ Gear: Leather Jacket; Brown Belt; Black Trousers; Blue Shirt; Gun; Knife; Ring.
─ Special Abilities : [Mindread]: Lance has the ability to read minds. [Presence Detection]: He also can sense the presence of any other person within a ten-foot radius. He can use this skill to spy on people without them knowing. [Mind Attack]: Lance can strike directly at another’s mind using his P stat.
Lance had a lot of unspent points. His stats seemed pretty strong all around, so he held off on adding to those for now. As for his skills, however...
While Lance wasn't sure how much his skill points were worth exactly, he figured he should take them and throw them into whatever skill might help them most out here in this city of insanity and death: Mind Attack.
He focused, trying to put some points in Perception. That was what Mind Attack was based off, right? If it worked like that, then maybe there would be no harm putting a few more points into Perception than he already had—Mind Attack was one of the few ways he had to fight back.
After a little bit of thought, he decided to go ahead and try adding a point.
[Skill point expended! Perception increased!]
[Skill point expended! Perception increased!]
Then he added one each to Stealth and Speed, saving the rest.
Lance closed the menu again and looked at his character sheet once more before checking the status screen just to make sure nothing else happened. He'd never gotten an increase in his stats like this before, so he wasn't quite sure if this change would stick or not. The fact that these changes did indeed seem to have been permanent gave him some reassurance though, so he wasn't worried too much about it. Besides, with more Skill Points and Status Points left after all this, there wasn't much reason to worry right now anyway.

Lance thought to himself as he put away the guns and ammo. he decided, satisfied that his Special Abilities were doing what he wanted them to do: help him survive—and hopefully save Sophie too.

Shift (Ben 10+DCU Fanfiction)
Omnitrix+ DCU, what's not to like? The main character will not be Ben Tennyson, rather someone from our world who gains the Omnitrix Hello! This fanfiction Shift is what I wanted to do for an homage to what I thought were underrated pieces of media, Ben 10 and some DCU characters. However, I would be remiss if I didn’t add context to two of the major works that inspired Shift, Dial, and A Practical Guide to Evil. Dial is another ben 10 fanfiction, however that story takes place in the MCU, and with an adult that is already a grown-up at the beginning of the story. Dial, by my own accounts, is more superficially Like shift, even though the Omnitrix is a central device in both. My protagonist starts out around 18 years old, so is less serious and can build relationships with some of the junior justice league members, and then later on in the story meet the Justice League officially. The tone will be more light-hearted at the beginning of the story as teenagers are known to use sarcasm and jokes at each other’s expense. Furthermore, in Dial, the protagonist has a well-developed knowledge of the MCU which he uses to have knowledge on events and characters, that the character in Shift will not have. While the MC will have some knowledge of people's abilities, lesser-known characters and people's real identities will be not included as much, but the MC of Shift will have some knowledge. APGTE's influence is deeper than Dials'. The epigraphs at the beginning of every chapter are an example of that, a place for light-hearted jokes and worldbuilding that's not pure exposition, but I also want to incorporate narrative stories to Shift (heroes win more than lose, providence, etc) on a lighthearted scale. While the heroes of Shift will have to work to win against villains, the MC of Shift will be allowed limited precognition, through narratives tropes and archetypes as a trade-off of less knowledge of the DCU. For example, a villain a hero faces might monologue, but the MC will not instinctively know how to counter every villain they encounter. I also wanted to bring in more realism than usual superhero stories, ie: the MC cannot just walk and have a meeting with Batman or Superman, he would have to “work his way up” in terms of credibility and whatnot. The Aliens that show up in Shift I tried to make different than the ones in Dial, just to share the love for lesser-known characters. And to make it fairer for the villains of the DCU, the main character will not wantonly use if gain at all an Alien X or a ben 10 form of Kryptonians, just so the characters have to work a little bit for victory. I urge anyone reading to consider checking out both APGTE and Dial as they are both amazing works, and I hope you enjoy them. The beginning of how the MC enters the DCU will not be as important as him actually existing in that universe, so that is why a ton of time is not spent on that part of the story. Chapters will be around 2.5 thousand words and come out around every weekday.
