The team navigated through the abandoned districts, searching for the source of the strange occurrences. Suddenly, a Diamond-level monster emerged, its power radiating an intense aura. Ryker's eyes widened.
"We need to get out of here, now!" he shouted.
The team scrambled to escape, but the monster was too fast. In a split second, Ryker made a decision. "Damon, distract it! We'll cover you."
Before Damon could protest, Ryker pushed him forward. Damon stumbled, and the monster's gaze locked onto him. The team took advantage of the distraction to make a run for it.
The monster unleashed a devastating attack, striking Damon with incredible force. He felt his body shattering, his vision blurring. Despite the agony, Damon refused to give up. He struggled to his feet, determined to survive.
As the monster closed in, Damon's awakening reached its climax. A notification flashed before his eyes:
*Awakening Complete*
*Choose a Class:*
1. *Sword Master*: Master the art of swordsmanship with five sword-related skills.
2. *Brawler*: Excel in close combat with enhanced strength and agility.
3. *Synthezer*: Merge weapons to create new, powerful arsenal.
4. *Mage*: Unlock magical abilities to cast devastating spells.
5. *Weaponry*: Forge and craft powerful weapons.
And a sixth option appeared, one that Damon couldn't explain:
6. *Death*: A mysterious class that grants the power to manipulate life and death.
Damon's eyes widened as he remembered a gift he'd had since birth – foresight. He'd seen glimpses of the future, and this class felt... right.
With his life slipping away, Damon made his choice:
*Death*
The world around him began to change. The pain subsided, replaced by a strange sense of calm. Damon felt his body begin to heal, his strength returning.
The monster loomed over him, but Damon knew he had changed. He was no longer the weak Epsilon-ranked Superbilitator. He was something more.
As the monster's attack descended, Damon smiled. He was ready.
