Scion of Time Gaming System!

'Let's check Time halt, I need a target, hmm, what should I use. Yeah, a bottle will be the best choice to check out the effect of time halt!' Marvin searched through the garbage for a bottle.

Soon after, his hand clenched a plastic bottle with weird pungent liquid, probably vinegar, and picked it up.

According to the system, a time halt can be applied to anything, living or non-living, as long as it was in its vision or perception.

Marvin was gonna check out how real it is. The alleyway didn't have any CCTV camera and no person passes through here, so Marvin was sure that no one will witness his actions, hence he didn't care about his surroundings and did what he wants to willfully.

Before he could do that, a system notification popped up.

‹Quest Activated: Proficient Ability User›

Description: Train Time Halt until Magic Power is exhausted.

Quest Completion Reward: 1 Magic Power, 10 Experience points!

Quest Rewards will vary according to Grade›

Marvin's eyes opened in surprise. He understood what the system meant by, "Certain interactions in the life of the Gamer can start "Quest". The Gamer will be awarded for quest completion."

And from the looks it, the better his performance during the quest, the higher the reward will be. That's means if he completes this quest with the best of his abilities, the reward will increase or even double.

He was excited to see what will happen after he levels up and what is the outcome of using time halt.

Without any further adieu, he extended his arm, positioning the bottle right in front of his eyes, intently gazing at the bottle, one by one, he opened all four fingers, and the bottle dropped.

But before it could hit the ground, Marvin willed to activate ‹Time Halt!›

The bottle stopped in the midst of its descend almost as if an omnipotent potent power has stopped it in its tracks.

"Holy Fuck!" Marvin swore, unable to believe that he possesses an ability, and his ability seems to be overpowered.

His father had said, "Life and death are decided by a difference of single second. In a fight between two experts of equal strength and wisdom, the one who is even a fraction of a second faster than the others will win."

'A fraction of a second can decide life and death, yet I can halt time of someone else for seconds! Does that make me the God of life and death? Hahahahahaha'

Suppressed for years, Marvin finds peace and happiness in these newfound powers!

Time was time, and every second, one Magic power was decreasing.

A few seconds had already gone by, and four seconds later all his magic power will be depleted. Four seconds later, the quest reward will also be obtained and he would be able to level up.

Marvin believed that the system is 100% real as his newfound ability has worked! He has become a 100% gamer, and by completing a quest and killing a monster he will become a legend!

Marvin wasn't gonna waste the rest of the three seconds. He wanted to check the limitation of his ability, Time Halt!

He touched the bottle and tried to pull it left and right, it moved!

With a hideous grin on his face that made him look devilishly handsome yet wretched at the same time, he thought, 'This means I can impale my dagger into the brain of any magical beasts or my enemies after stopping their tracks. Would those fools curse their fate for pissing me off, or curse the Gods or their luck? As long as I use Time Halt, who will be able to win against me?' He immediately shook his head left and right and declined these thoughts.

There were many types of Ability Users, some had beasts as companions while the others had thick skin as if made out of metals. Some could use deadly traps that will kill him before he makes a move.

'Overconfident and arrogance will bring me doom. Step by step, I will move forward!'

Lastly, Marvin wanted to check what happens to the things connected with the thing that is affected by the time halt.

Marvin opened the cap of the bottle and turned it face down. All along he was intently scrutinizing everything about the bottle. The pungent liquid inside the bottle didn't move even though according to the law of gravity, all the yellowish-white pungent liquid should have poured out of the bottle opening and splashed on the ground, it didn't.

The liquid inside the bottle was also halted by time!

Almost immediately, he positioned the cap at the sides of the bottle. The cap also didn't drop, even though it should have slipped down the sides of the plastic bottle.

Marvin confirmed that Time Halt will not only halt the existence he targeted but everything inside or in contact with it.

Right then, the liquid splashed on the ground dirtying the edges of his worn-out shoes, the plastic bottle and its cap also plunged on the ground. The effect of Time Halt has ended, and his Magic Power is exhausted.

Marvin suffered a mild headache. This was the consequence of exhausting Magic Power.

Marvin rubbed his head in distress when the system notification popped up to make him smile!
