You find that when the shadows take form, their strength and toughness varies, depending on how many there already are, how close they are to you, and your own physical form. This varies all the way from moist cardboard to dense concrete, but a single tendril or sturdy wall can approach iron or even surpass steel. Of course, they’re vulnerable to light all the same, but solid shadows can tolerate its presence much longer and will certainly serve you well in combat situations, both day and night.

This power is nowhere near full potential, and at the moment you can only manage half a dozen tendrils or three walls at a time but it’s quite impressive regardless. Even better, your ability to meld with the darkness has grown, when you’re immersed in the shadows your skin is pale yet dark, cold to the touch, and distressingly hazy to the sight. It is a massive improvement over the last few days, to say the least.

just thought i could speed up the rolling procedure a bit, it is a bit lengthy imo

I know, but's fine to roll once for each difficulty check.

I've got to go handle some shit, expect an update in 2-3 hours.

>>3299441
If we're on our way to New York, why not hope off somewhere on the way there, like a county with a low population? A small population means less heroes and villains present, which would give us time to practice using fire arms.

>dice gods be like

Also, with the addition of shadow tendrils stronger than steel, we will become a close combat monster

>>3299733
aren't we already?

I'd like to keep practicing with the Shadow Summoning ability to the point we could make a large solid room made of shadow (roof included) or a gun suppressor made of shadows so we have a few more options of where we can practice with firearms.

Before you even consider any kind of breakfast, blade summoning, or idle daydreaming, you get to work on the rudimentary squats, push-ups, and sprints routine you established on the last train-ride. It’s sweaty, uncomfortable, and surely an unsavory unspeakably sexy sight but you persist in spite because you know that every day you sweat is one day closer to achieving your dream of being a truly honorable Ronin warrior.

> +3 Strength [8/10]
> +1 Endurance [5/10]
> +2 Willpower [8/40]

After you become much too exhausted to move, you resume yesterday’s throwing exercises and while the kunai are no closer to their mark, you’re pleased to note a significant (if slight) improvement in your baseline manual dexterity. When that’s through you decide to focus your superpowers training on better melding with the shadows and fine-tuning your gravity redirection, but aside from hilariously impossible Assassin’s Creed-tier visuals, you ascertain no tangible difference in the way you use your abilities.

> +1 Parkour [3/5]
> +1 Throwing [7/10]
> +4 Dexterity, [23/20], Level Up! Dexterity: 4 [3/40]

After your one healthy meal and half a chugged gallon of water of the day, you fall into a sweaty slumber atop the thinly wrapped commercial grocery lettuce.

You can do that at anytime you please, but remember, you're not bound for New York City, New York, you're bound for Huntington, New York, which is a large town of over 200,000 people but nowhere near as large as its nearby neighbor.

>>3299659
I wish I could say yes, but I don't want to incur the wrath of the RNG anymore than I have anon.

>>3299695
They don't think it be that way, but it do.

>>3299744
Less than you would think, because while you have a near-instant reaction time, can render your opponent's bones as light as a chicken's, and wield several decades of martial arts tutelage beneath the finest masters, there is little you can do to those with strong durability/regeneration, and you're quite fragile, assuming someone could, by some miracle, manage to actually hit you.

>>3299753
That's a bit of a roundabout way to go about setting up a sound-proofed range, but I certainly don't judge. Remember, dry-firing and improving Shadow Melding are always valid options to pursue.

>>3299757
Exercise,Train throwing, train shadow melding and gravity redirection

>>3299770
>>3299757
Do a little research with a smart phone on how a gun suppressor works, then try to mimic it with some Shadow Summoning.

Read up on computers and learn how to improve your own computer.

Look up the location for a Chinatown in New York and see if there are any shops there we could go stealth shopping to improve our overall hero costume and get a replacement dragon knife.

Improve Shadow Summoning / Melding.

That's about it.

>>3299774
>Train throwing
you want to throw the train?

>>3299770

>>3299774
Exercise,Train rifle skills(dry fire and the like), train shadow melding and gravity redirection

>>3299785
what's dry firing?

>>3299787
It's when you aim and shoot a firearm when there isn't a bullet in the chamber, to help teach yourself the motions of actually using the weapon before you begin target practice.

>>3299787
like masturbating after prostate cancer, but with a gun

Remember, you can train Unarmed and Knife(melee) as well as Throwing.

>>3299781
>you want to throw the train?
Derek is autistic, anon but he's not that autistic.

>Can we do that? I kind of want to do that.
Dive out of the train ahead of time? You can do that, but you have to have a majority vote, and there's no guarantee you won't get lost in the wilderness.

>>3299809

Every step you take, your jiggles with rancid fat and the thought of the dishonor you bring to your gender neutral non binary trans African ancestors each day fills you with disgust, rage, and shame so profound you cannot think.The mere thought of touching a bag of pringles fills you sets a fire in you like burning coals in a burlap sack and you throw yourself headfirst into exercising to the brink of your limits and beyond, independent of any superpowers. You feel you’ve made a major improvement, and if you can continue at this rate you’ll be a mountain of muscle in no time.

> +5 Strength [13/10], Level Up! Strength: 3 [3/20]
> +6 Endurance [11/10], Level Up! Endurance: 3 [1/20]
> +4 Willpower [12/40]

When that’s finished and you’re drenched with sweat, you summon a kunai, briefly consider, then dismiss it with a thought. As cool as it was to begin with you’re starting to get a bit tired of endlessly throwing blades, and a bit interested in the art of gun-kata, as written in some of your favorite Naruto fanfictions. Making sure to *carefully* unload the most worn-out looking AK-47, you spend half an hour reverse-engineering the basic functions of the weapon, then another three and a half firing it from a variety of positions, prone, kneeling, standing, and multiple times, mid-air at plethora of stationary and moving shadow targets, without actually shooting any bullets to avoid alarm. Dry-firing is definitely fun and you’ve taught yourself a lot, but you feel soon you’ll reach a point you can’t learn much more without live-fire.

> +4 Rifle [6/5], Level Up! Rifle: 1 [1/10]
> +4 Dexterity [23/20], Level Up! Dexterity: 4 [3/40]

After that you try your hand at maintaining more solid shadows at once, but your efforts yield no serious results. Much better are your endeavors to improve your gravity redirection capacities, where previously, you could only shift your gravitational orientation as it relates to your entire body, you’ve discovered how to focus the entirety of the earth’s gravitational influence on you in a single limb, immeasurably improving your balance and allowing you to attempt handstands, wall flips, and assorted parlour tricks much, much easier. In addition to the obvious /aesthetic/ benefits, you’re almost certain this will be a tremendous asset in both martial arts and parkour.

You awaken, drenched in sweat upon a bed of soggy lettuce, and you know then what you must do. Eschewing even the slightest of physical exercises, you throw yourself, mind, body, and soul into the pursuit of sharpening your already formidable superpowers to a razor’s edge. Hours upon hours of summoning, throwing, and dismissing blades, and attempting almost every martial arts move and combo known to man go by to no avail, as you fail to inflame your inner force in the slightest. The shame is almost unbearable, and when darkness falls you surround yourself with the darkness and rather than embrace it, you allow it to enter your ego, your very soul laid bare.

The sensation is almost completely different from what it was when you tried to force the shadow melding. Rather than trying your best to hide within the darkness, the darkness acknowledges your presence and does its best to hide you. The distinction is subtle but cannot be understated, for so long as you stand in the shadows, even the warmth seems to leave your body, yet your flesh is not chilled, and you do not appear to be human so much as a haze of writhing black fog in the guise of a man.

This new form, not quite a new form but divergent from your original self, is far less visible, its every motion makes far less noise, and if you simply attune your mind you are able to tell who, what, and how many of any unconcealed life-forms are present, along with a default echolocation technique when you speak, though it’s redundant with the night-vision your shadow summoning grants. You feel you are on the cusp of a true transformation, and in time, the hunger for power, not blood though the two often overlap within

> Stranger, 3: Shadow Melding, Level Up! Stranger 5: Shadow Melding!

Not as impressive a routine as you would like, but you ate healthy, lost a marginal amount weight, and discovered a new facet of one of your, if not *the* most used superpower in your arsenal so you’d say today was far from a loss.

train shadow meld and shadow summoning even more

Honestly the rate at which we are increasing our super abilities seems a bit too much. I can understand learning to control our abilities better, figuring out better applications, and becoming more efficient. But we’ve turned into a 38 Pp monster from the 26 we started with. In less than a month. That is unheard of. Getting 3-4 points at a time into a power just from some training and meditation is just ridiculous, and if it worked that way then every hero and cape in the world would be in the 20s at a minimum, instead of the scrubs we dropped earlier.

>>3300408
Obviously DIE has ludicrous levels of potential buried beneath his massive fatrolls. His mommy and daddy are clearly supers. Daddy just left because his people needed him and his massive alcoholism.

>>3300408
yeah our power level feels somewhat off

>>3300408
>>3300422
Nah dont worry we wil probaly meet some higher level villaens soon

>>3300417
>Inb4 his mom and dad were supremely powerful supers that didn’t realize the potential sitting under their NEET son’s fatrolls, and are mortified the bodycounts he’s sure to be racking up.

>>3300435
>inb4 DIE seemingly being a fucking normie is the reason Daddy turned to drink because he wanted his superboy to bring into the family business

Are you proud you made Daddy depressed by sitting around being a fucking faggot on the internet? I am.

>>3300408
Well think of it this way, we have possibly the best skillset to not be caught by any other supers, and if the fuz does catch us then we are fucked. Plus it's been stated that in universe there's like a dozen more north Korea like states because powerful villains can exponentiate on their power easier than heroes can, what with killing other supers for PP. Thats probably also why vigilantes are targeted as often as villains, and why there are far fewer of them compared to other supers. Precisely because they are a wild card in the established geopolitical climate.

>>3300401
This sounds good.

>>3300448
Yeah im agrreing with this

>>3300448
Agrees. Also other supers have friends, family, and other "distractions." We don't have that. We're just a vagabond committed to working our and keeping the peace.

>>3300448
>>3300481
looks like we have some cleaning up then

Anyone else thing it might be a good idea to lose +100 lb (or turn +100 lb into muscle) and use our lighter frame to blend into society, since no one is going to expect a big boned murderer who killed a crackhead and two minor heroes to to get ripped?

I have to say, I agree, the current growth rate is pretty ridiculous from a lore standpoint and from this point on, I'm going to be slowing your advancement tremendously. I'd like to apologize, I got carried away and the power creep didn't think occur to me until I slept on it and read your post.

In-game, there are three reasons DIE has grown so quickly. 1.) Aside from the Superhuman Reflexes boost that kicked in when he almost murdered an old man, most of what he's done so far is changing the mindset he uses his powers with, i,e he's become far more efficient than flailing out, not much more powerful. 2.) Even if he didn't receive any immediate gain, he executed no less than three supers in hand-to-hand combat and internalized some of the inner force, manifesting sporadic improvements days later. Lastly 3.) The newer a super is, the faster their powers tend to develop, even if this should be more of a 1.5 modifier to the grind, not the "roll 1d3 to accumulate big-dick energy" we've been doing.

From here on out, I'll resume what I've planning to do at the start of the quest and have a hidden threshold for the amount of training necessary to boost a power's Tier, which grows as more time passes and overall your power level increases.

>>3300427
New York is known as the city that never sleeps for a reason, anon.

>>3300435
Heh, there's a thought.

>>3300448
This is also true, to an extent. Not all supers are created equal and by virtue of extraordinary circumstances during their [Awakening] or strength of emotion in the midst of their [Awakening], some are inherently superior to others. You are *NOT* the most powerful super around, and in a random, thousand-super line-up, your lack of a Tier-10 power would be lucky to make the top ten, though you're certainly in the upper thirties. Furthermore, the Federal government is actively hunting you down, and they have resources your chip-shoveling, MLP-clouded mind cannot begin to comprehend. If you stayed in the old man's home another day, I would've rolled 2d6 SWAT teams and 1d3+1 supers with powers that counter the ones you've exhibited for a no-knock raid, because they traced your computer and planned to end it when they thought you'd be sedate on the weekend. Bullshit levels of Hakoge ninja warrior power or no, that is not a fight you're likely to win.

>because they traced your computer and planned to end it when they thought you'd be sedate on the weekend
Pretty much what I kind of suspected. Beyond our flip phone it's one of the few things we originally came with. We really need to back up everything important on it onto it's disk drive then take than and....I think that, the RAM and Graphics card are safe? Everything else gotta destroy. Also can't use any of our online accounts. Gotta make new ones.

>>3300760

>>3300802
Thinkers man. Not even once.

>>3300802
They tracked your computer usage to Phoenix, Arizona and you vanished the night after the killings, which lends itself well to putting two and two together.
