Chapter 14: Chapter 14

Leo quickly navigated to the skills section of his status screen and expanded all of the skills that had appeared during his Class change.

[Temporal Physique: The users body is optimized to the peak physical form that was possible, is possible, or would have been possible without the systems intervention.

Tier: Unique

Duration: Permanent

Mana Cost: 0]

'Holy shit. I'd heard rumors that some of the higher tiered classes were capable of completely altering the human body, but I never knew it was to this degree.

Never thought I'd wish I had a full sized mirror with me so I could check myself out...'

Leo scanned through the rest of the skills that had appeared in his skill list but they all ready the same thing.

[Skill locked until requisite attribute and level requirements are met.]

That message repeated itself for a total of 10 different entries.

Even basic classes had skills that were locked until the appropriate level or attribute requirements were met so he was unsurprised and undeterred by the lack of skills available to him.

It was the systems and gods' way of making sure that no particular class would immediately dominate the word upon its acquisition.

With nothing left to see in his skill section, Leo swapped over to his status window to view any changes that had occurred.

What he saw, nearly made him jump with joy.

Passives: Temporal Physique (Unique)]

Leo had no doubt that his stats were unquestionably the highest stats achieved at this point in the young apocalypse.

Even though other Unique or Legendary Classes had their own benefits, he couldn't fathom the possibility that any of them had a passive skill that could rival the benefits of Temporal Physique.

While Leo was lost in his status screen, he was suddenly caught off guard by the feeling of someone groping his chest and abs.

Turning towards the culprit with a confused look, he said, "Uhh Amber... what are you doing?"

Amber, as if being caught with her hand in the cookie jar, suddenly retracted her hands and held them up in front of her body like a guilty criminal and yelped, "Huh!? What?! I.. I didn't.. ummm... OH Robin! She's still unconscious! We need to help her!"

She quickly scrambled over to her sister and shook her a few times trying to wake her up.

As Robin slowly began to regain consciousness, Amber let out a cautious sigh and started to rub her head as if Robin was a cat that she was trying to coax awake from a deep slumber.

Leo couldn't help but shake his head side to side at her antics.

Did she really think that he was just going to forget that she just felt him up like he was Steve Rodgers and she was Captain Carter after Steve was injected with the Super Soldier Serum?

Regardless, that mockery would have to be put on hold for now because Leo could sense a large presence not far down the side of the mountain, near the pool of blood that the sisters had gathered through their butchering.

He had felt it almost immediately after his Class change but the presence had remained relatively inactive until now.

It had clearly noticed them atop the mountain and it was slowly making its approach.

Leo slowly pushed himself to his feet and walked over to the edge where he could look down upon the possible threat.

Not more than 25 yards away from him, staring directly back at him, was a javelina the size of a small car.

Its tusks had been elongated and Leo could see a row of jagged teeth protruding from its open mouth.

At first the javelina remained almost completely still apart from a stream of saliva dripping from its mouth on both sides, but that didn't last for more than a few seconds because it suddenly began to rub its tusks together, creating a chattering noise in a bid to intimidate Leo.

When that javelina realized that Leo remained wholly unimpressed by its haughty display, it began to charge up the hill directly at him.

Rather than pull out one of his firearms and end the javelinas life quickly, Leo decided to take the opportunity to test his bodies limits as well as become accustomed to its changes.

Since moving was still a tad difficult, Leo stayed where he was and awaited the oversized pigs arrival.

Although large, the javelina was fairly strong so it was able to clamber its way up the side of the mountain at a rapid pace.

As it reached the peak of the mountain, the javelina only accelerated in Leo's direction; completely ignoring the now screaming sisters that were utterly defenseless not far away. 

The moment before the opened jaw of the javelina could clamp down on Leo, he thrust his raised hands forward and grabbed hold of one of the javelinas tusks, bringing the animal to a screeching halt after being pushed back a foot or so.

Somewhat impressed with himself, Leo flexed his entire body and lifted the thrashing body of the javelina into the air and up over his head, before slamming it down into the ground with enough force to create some sizeable vibrations in the small mountain.

The impact had rendered the javelina unconscious, but not dead, so Leo looked over his shoulder at the two sisters and yelled, "Grab your guns and get over here! You both need to take shots at him in order to get experience from it being killed!"

The sisters, confused, panicked, and totally awestruck by the ease with which Leo had just dominated the javelina in front of them quickly scrambled to their feet and fumbled to get a good grip on the pistols in their hands.

With fear and trepidation, the two approached the still unmoving animal with slow and steady steps.

They remained nearly shoulder to shoulder the entire time as if one would collapse without the others support.

"Stop dawdling and get over here! I know you two are still level one and that is completely unacceptable if you plan on sticking around here with me!

This thing poses absolutely no threat to you so grow a pair and get over here and do what needs to be done!"

The two girls looked at each other and as if coming to an agreement a moment later, they both nodded with a determined look on their face and took a few more steps before they stood directly over the upturned belly of the javelina.

They both raised their weapons up and took an amateur shooting positions.

After a few more moments of hesitation, Leo had had enough of waiting and screamed, "Fire!"

That seemed to be motivation enough because Amber fired off two shots which were almost immediately followed by a single shot from Robin.

After confirming that at least one shot from each of them had managed to impact the javelina, Leo withdrew a large machete from his bag and quickly dispatched the animal.

Turning towards the two girls who were staring at the now lifeless corpse of the javelina, Leo wanted to scold them for their cowardice, but he held back the urge.

He walked over to the two girls and gave them each a pat on the shoulder with his hands and said, "Well done."

And for some reason, the girls suddenly wrapped their arms around him and started to giggle.

Leo could only stare blankly ahead and think, 'What the fuck happened to these two?'

Question for the readers: Are you interested in the R18 stuff or should I just focus more on writing the fantasy part of the novel?

I have the next chapter written in two different forms and I will release the version that is chosen based on what you guys think.

(I have an R18 version where some stuff unfolds between Leo and the sisters but I also have a version where that stuff is cut out and we just continue as we have up until this point.)
