Stray Cat Strut - SCS Fanfiction Contest Winner: Havoc, by Kenny Celican

The mysterious force known as the Essence Record finally descended upon Earth, tearing the world asunder and reshaping it through chaos and evolution.Cities turned to ruins. Animals mutated. Some humans lost their minds, others became monsters. Only a few survived the Awakening… and were granted the right to evolve.A new world was born, where the old rules meant nothing. The only law that remained was survival—where hesitation equals death.Adam, an ordinary college student, finds himself alone, far from home, in a world no longer built for the weak. His only goal: to find his family—if they’re still alive in this broken world.No god, beast, demon, man or zombie shall stop him. As long as he draws breath, he won’t stop.

A veteran gamer finds himself in a world similar to the game he played.You say you need to learn skills by leveling up? Sorry, I already know all of them.You say you have to meditate to level up? Sorry, I only need to fight monsters for that.

It was supposed to be her sister's wedding night, but she was schemed by her biological mother, drugged, and sent into her 'soon-to-be brother-in-law's' wedding car.When they first met, the man in the wheelchair was as dignified and cold as rumored. Just because she approached him slightly, he grabbed her neck, nearly choking her to death.'A woman marrying into the Fu family must rely on herself to survive, understand?'She nodded frantically, thinking that carefully pleasing him would allow them to live respectfully and peacefully like guests for a lifetime.Yet in the nights and days of accompanying him, she was thoroughly consumed, step by step falling into the trap he had long set.In this life, there is no escape; in this love, it moves the heart.

Lu Yu transmigrated to a parallel world before the Reiki recovery and awakening of the cities.

Ferocious beasts attacked, and all of humanity started awakening special talents.

All living beings in the world started to evolve and mutate, and become materials for humans to become more powerful.

As long as one searched for the appropriate materials, he could evolve his talents and become more powerful.

But there were many talents that were extremely mysterious, and no one knew how to level up those.

On the Talent Awakening Platform…

Lu Yu awakened the weakest talent [Claw Attack]. Everyone laughed at him.

Fortunately, his system activated, and only he could see its notifications.

“Detected the talent [Claw Attack].”

“Please choose from the evolution paths below: [ Cat Claw Path ][ Bear Paw Path ][ Eagle Strike Path ][ Snake Tooth Path ][ Dragon Claw Path ]…”

“Please confirm your choice, [Dragon Claw Path].”

“Please continue to choose your evolution path: [Flaming Dragon Claw] [Flowing Water Dragon Claw] [Rock Crushing Dragon Claw] [Gale Dragon Claw] [Light Dragon Claw] [Dark Dragon Claw]…”

As such, Lu Yu used the system to his advantage and set foot on the path of leveling up toward supreme power.
