The host has fully recovered

A sharp intake of air was forcefully shoved down my throat.

Cough!

Cough!

I gasped and sat up in shock

I looked around, nothing seemed out of place...excluding the destruction and fire.

My whole body throbbed and stung.

"Fully recovered my ass..." I mumbled under my breath.

[Quest]: Survive in the [New world] for 2 days. This [Quest] has been completed.

I analyzed the message with anticipation.

"Wait for a second...has it been 2 days?!"

[Reward]: Selection between [Sword] [Spear] and [Bow and arrow]

"Anyway...this is cool...what should I choose?... I think I should go with-"

[Bonus] option has been unlocked for host due to [Martial arts] skill! The user has the chance to evolve [Martial arts] skill into [Combat Specialist].

After reading the new message I didn't even hesitate to choose the [Bonus].

I mean... it's a once-in-a-lifetime chance...I think. Plus my skill is going through a [evolution]! Most times that means that it's getting improved, and it was already helpful.

And somehow I feel that the weapons are not going to live up to my expectations...and even if they do this is an era where there are literal guns, tanks, and nukes. I don't think they will be extremely useful.

The moment I choose, a library's worth of combat information is driven into me.

[Combat Specialist]

[Passive skill]:

The host has an instinctively understanding of combat and innate encyclopedic knowledge in hand-to-hand fighting styles; therefore understanding and analyzing the opponent's style of combat and flaws in the opponent's attack and defense. They can use the strength of the opponent in their favor.

The host has an incredible perception of opponents and the users surrounding areas using it to his advantage and can copy or mix several types of martial arts and movements and understand how an attack works in a matter of minutes. This power can be enhanced by the user's experience and improvement of skill.

"ARRRRAAAAGH!"

I scream out in agony. My muscles twitch and are fed new types of muscle memory. My brain is overloaded with an unprecedented amount of information. Sirens sounding like nails on a chalkboard resound from every corner of my brain. The torture lasts for what feels like weeks.

And finally... it stops.

HACK!

HACK!

HACK!

I was gasping for air on the ground in pain. It took me several minutes after it stopped to calm down.

Instantly everything went dark. A light coming from the sky cast a circle spanning 3 meters around me.

I...I can see.

I can see!

In the 3 meters circle around me, I can "see" perfectly clearly. Every detail. Every grain of stone on the ground. I could feel the gas in the air, and the heat radiating around me. It was like all my 5 senses were added together into one-sixth sense.

So this is what it means by "the host has an incredible perception of opponents and the users surrounding areas".

I try casting my "gaze" further away, but it soon becomes blurry like looking through a thin wall of translucent glass and beyond 5 meters it becomes undetectable and I have to rely on my sight.

"Okay...I think maybe...just maybe...it was worth the pain."

Due to the [Combat Specialist] skill, the host has learned a new skill: [Energy Strike]

"It was definitely worth it."
