The green mist rushed in. Viper smirked, expecting us to choke and fall.
Instead, I inhaled.

[STATS OVERCHARGED: +200% STRENGTH / +200% AGILITY (10 SECONDS)]
My veins turned black. Violet fire erupted from my eyes. The pain was blinding—it felt like my skeleton was expanding, trying to tear out of my skin.
I opened my mouth and ate the poison mist.

[WARNING: TOXICITY LEVELS CRITICAL.]
I swallowed the green cloud. It burned my throat, but my [Devour] skill broke it down into raw energy before it could shut down my brain.
Viper’s smirk vanished. "What?"
I launched myself.
With the 200% stat boost, I moved so fast I left a sonic boom in my wake. I closed the twenty-meter gap in the blink of an eye.
Viper raised his cane to block. "Pathetic! A Level 15 cannot—"
"NOW!" I screamed.
Seraphina didn't hesitate. She slammed her hand onto her virtual keyboard.
[ADMIN HACK: GRAVITY = NULL.]
Viper’s weight vanished. He had braced himself for an impact, digging his heels in. But suddenly, there was no floor to push against. He floated, his traction gone, his stance broken.
He was just a floating collection of pixels.
I didn't float. I had momentum.
I slammed into him mid-air, my fist glowing with concentrated, violet hunger. I didn't aim for his head. I aimed for the golden gem on his chest—the Avatar's core processor.
"Game over, snake!"
My fist punched through his white suit. It punched through the digital ribcage. My fingers wrapped around the glowing core.
Viper’s digital eyes widened in genuine fear. "You... who are you?"
I leaned in, my face inches from his. My eyes were bleeding black smoke.
"I'm the guy who's going to bankrupt you."
[SOUL DEVOUR: MAX OUTPUT.]
I ripped the core out.
