Rat
Based on the results of long-term experiments, the Rat came to the conclusion that his ability is a simulation of the future, or a prediction of the future. He could predict what would happen to him if he will perform certain actions. In other words, he could only see his own future with his own eyes in that future. In general, it wasn't so bad if he had any other ability. So, had to rely on the fact that he will be able to shoot someone with a gun.
His ability to foresight also had limitations. He could predict one line of probabilities with a length of fifteen minutes every five seconds. In total, twelve options per minute, seven hundred and twenty per hour. If he predicted shorter periods of time, he could view hundreds of options per second. How he did not go crazy, remained a mystery to him.
Fifteen minutes before the start of the game, the Rat got on a stolen motorcycle, started the engine and began to predict the future, where he drove around the city in different directions, carefully looking around.
He got another game ability in this morning. It was enough to concentrate to understand on which side were each of his opponents. A sixth sense suggested that the accuracy of the direction was inversely proportional to the distance to the target. And if the other figure was closer than a kilometer away, it was impossible to understand in which side he was.
But this, if you do not take into account his ability to foresee the future. He could simply send his 'copies' in different directions, and as soon as they were separated by a sufficient distance, he would get the approximate coordinates of any enemy.
Fifteen minutes was his prediction limit, but by the time the game started, he had a couple dozen options for the future. And then an event occurred that could not be called anything other than luck. The enemy with the sign of the Horse suddenly moved across the city, ending up right at his side. In just a fraction of a second, he was able to determine the approximate area of his appearance and began to send copies there in the new lines of the future.
After a couple of minutes of real time, the foresight saw a glowing object that appeared on the roof of one of the buildings. Immediately he began to move in this direction, approaching the place where the enemy will be appeared, and in the lines of probability his copies began to besiege the building, making their way to the roof. There he was able to see how the round portal opens, from which a boy of about fifteen leaps out.
The first line was unsuccessful, because the enemy noticed him and immediately fell through a portal that opened right under his feet. The rat adjusted his behavior in the other lines and found a place to hide. Then he pulled out a gun and fired. The bullet hit the chest, but the enemy again managed to escape. Well, that means he needs to aim better.

When the Rat approached the desired building, he moved forward, experiencing a strong sense of de ja vu. In fact, now he was not acting on his own, but 'repeating' one of the options for the future. After all, it is not always possible to repeat your movements exactly, even if you know how to move. And now he seems to be reproducing events from the desired line of probability, being sure that they will end exactly as predicted.
Dropping the motorcycle, he ran to the entrance door and dialed the apartment number on the dashboard. Three seconds later, the door swung open and he ran inside. Waiting for the elevator, he pressed the button for the top floor. Getting out at the twelfth floor, went up the stairs and reached the door to the roof. Fortunately, the lock was broken, so he pushed the door and ran to the shelter. One of the ventilation pipes provided an excellent firing position. Pulling out the gun, he released the safety. After waiting a few more seconds, he saw a portal appear ahead of him, and a boy jumped out of it sideways. Pointing the gun at the target, he pulled the trigger smoothly. A shot rang out, and the enemy fell to the roof, spilling the remains of his brain from his shattered head. It is good that in addition to armor-piercing cartridges, he managed to find several explosive ones.
After completing the line of events, the Rat approached the corpse and carefully examined it. No, there's no option. Half of his head is missing. It won't come alive. After waiting for a few more seconds, he felt a certain force enter into his body. Now he knew that he could open portals and move through them to any point in the city.
Rooster
He floated proudly in the air, gliding over the streets of the city. In just a few minutes, the battle would begin. His territory was bordered by areas of Sheep, Monkey, Dog and Pig. In his first battle, he would not want to face multiple opponents at once, so a Sheep and a Pig were not the best choice. After all, like his territory, they had too many neighbors. In addition, there were many strong explosions in the territory of the Sheep yesterday and today, and now most of the buildings there have become ruins. If the Sheep's ability is explosions, then it's better not to face such an opponent right now.
Thus, the territory of the Dog and the Monkey remained. Now he was inspecting the border with the Dog, and it seems that he has already decided who will be his first victim. In front of him on the street that continued beyond the barrier, a monster was standing in the middle of the roadway. Exactly. A real monster from nightmares or some hentai anime. It was a huge armored carcass with a long toothy mouth and tentacles. One look at it allowed to determine that in front of him a game figure. It seemed to be another game ability in addition to determination of the direction of the enemy.

As soon as the barrier fell, the Dog rushed to him, soaring into the air and waving its tentacles. But he was ready for such movement and simply retreated back and fly high, out of the enemy's reach. In next moment he attacked the monster with his strongest attack. Roaring flames engulfed the enemy figure, instantly incinerating all protruding body parts. All these tentacles, paws, and fangs were charred and crumbled to ash in a second.
The monster howled and tried to regenerate. Right before my eyes, it grew legs and tried to escape. I had to add a little more fire. The dog roared, rolled on the ground, tried to crawl away, but there was no escape from his fire. At the same time, I hovered at the level of the upper floors of neighboring buildings, being completely safe.
Finally, the monster went quiet, though it was still alive. In any case, he wasn't going to stop before the entire carcass of this creature turned into ash. I just need to be patient, not forgetting to look around. However, my feelings say that at the moment only the Dog is closer than a kilometer from him.
Dog
I noticed the faggot flying in the sky a couple of minutes earlier than he. God, where do such freaks come from? I'll probably eat him first. Such a filthy creature has no right to live in any of the Universes.
As soon as the barrier disappeared, Dog leaped forward and up, trying to reach the opponent with a tentacle with a venomous sting. Unfortunately, opponent easily evaded and attacked in response. Before that, he had not demonstrated its abilities other than flight, so the stream of fire hot as the Sun itself, was a surprise for the Dog. An extremely unpleasant surprise.
Any attempt to regenerate and escape ended in failure. Even Dog’s ability to restore the body had limits. Moreover, now he realized that his body has vulnerable point. This place was the brain. Of course, when he was creating his combat form, he had moved his brain into center of his chest, but now he felt that as soon as his brain will 'boil', this battle would end immediately.
Now he had no eyes to navigate properly, but he remembered that there must be a sewer grate nearby. With the last of his strength, he crawled in the right direction. For a moment, he managed to regenerate his eye and was able to see his target.
Finally, having reached the rescue entrance to the sewer, the Dog literally swallowed the red-hot grate with his body, and then released the brain along with the remains of the flesh into the hole. Outside there was a burning dead carcass, covering the way of his retreat.
After a while, the Dog decided that this was the best time for a surprise attack. His opponent thinks he's almost won. We should surprise him. After creating an almost unimaginable body that was a cross between a worm, a mole, and God knows what else, he literally screwed himself into the wall of the sewer and headed underground toward the basement of the neighboring house. When he reached it, he assumed his usual combat form, then rushed up the stairs.
On the top floor, he destroyed the door to one of the apartments, casually tore into pieces the frightened owners, then clung to the window, looking for the enemy. He still continued to pour the street with fire, not even thinking to look around. The current point was not very suitable for a jump, so he had to drill through the wall into the next apartment. Thank the gods that the walls here are not made of concrete, like normal people, but from drywall, like stupid Americans.
When he reached a suitable window, he waited the moment and then with all his strength rushed forward, knocking out the glass and in a leap reaching with the tentacle to the ass of the Rooster. The sting went right into the 'fifth point' and injected a lethal dose of poison. This amount should have been enough to kill an elephant. The Rooster screamed wildly and tried to attack again with fire, but it didn't matter. Just a few seconds later, the enemy's gaze faded and he fell to the burning asphalt from the height of the twelfth floor. It was good that I had thought to combine a poison that chemically destroys the brain and a nerve-paralytic poison that blocks the passage of signals through the nerves.
Approaching the mutilated carcass of the enemy, the Dog could not resist the pleasure of devouring the still twitching body. As soon as the last piece of stinking flesh disappeared into his mouth, he felt that from now on he can fly and control fire. All right, hold on me seven gods! Now it only remains to take the form of the Dragon-Gorynych, and I can fly to conquer the city.

Despondent Divinity
There exists a Great Seal which split the world in two, one half ravaged by the Darkness, the other a safe haven of Light. Since the collapse of the old world, 20,000 years have passed, and the world watches on as their only protection from the Plague of Plagues slowly dissipates. Only the strong may survive the oncoming Demon horde, and the forgotten prince, Jack Calmira, fears he may not have what it takes. In a world where weakness is punished by death, what are weak men to do? Author's Note: Expect a chapter or two every month, but I'll get faster eventually. This story isn't a Wuxia, but it has a lot of eastern influence. The MC isn't OP and is flawed. Less action, more character driven. Constructive criticism would be appreciated as it's my first story. Chinese culture has inspired a lot of the novel, but much of it is an amalgamation of different cultures, some made up and some not. Think Xianxia + Shounen with a mix of western and eastern fantasy elements.
