Chapter 3: Where is your insurance?
Ace clicked on his first passive skill.
[Brawler (I) — Unarmed punches deal +15% damage, and each strike hurts your hands 25% less.]
The description was short and clear. No explanation needed.
His punches now hit harder, and his hands would last longer in a fight. He could already battle longer than most. And with work and XP, the skill could level up.
This will help if I ever lose my weapons.
Ace sat on the bed.
He hated the apocalypse, but he loved leveling up. Every boost felt like a reward, and he pushed each skill to its limit.
He wanted to kick back for the day, yet the chance to stack passive skills before doomsday drove him to act.
He opened his laptop and started a new note.
I don’t know how many passive slots I get, so I’d better choose right.
His plan was simple. Follow the route from his first life.
He would hit the same gate, use future knowledge, and snowball an early lead.
