All People's Abyss: My skills are infinitely enhanced

Chapter 1 Awakening Memories

The streets are full of lights and wine, the young lady is dressed coolly, the traffic lights next to the zebra crossing, the mud truck that is out of control...

Di~~
The sharp whistle pierced the dream, and Tao Yu woke up from his sleep with sweat all over his head, gasping for breath.

A faint smell of mold and sweat entered Tao Yu's nose along with his panting, gradually waking him up.

Here it comes again, it's the same dream, a dream so real that he can't tell the difference between fantasy and reality.

He could no longer tell whether it was Tao Yu, a social animal from the 21st century, or Tao Yu, a young man from the outer city who was about to turn 18.

He had occasionally had this dream over the years, but as the day of awakening represented by his eighteenth birthday approached, the dream became more and more frequent, and in the past month he had been dreaming without even closing his eyes.

At first, he thought it was the pressure and hallucination caused by the arrival of the day of awakening, but as more and more information and memories came, the systematic and completely self-consistent memories and knowledge also told him that these were all real.

According to the novels I remembered in my dream, I should have been reincarnated from another world...

Recalling the peaceful, warm and beautiful world in my memory, I now look at the damp bed made of bricks and wooden boards in front of me, look up at the stains on the asbestos wall, and the windows made of cardboard.

Tao Yu's expression couldn't help but become a little dull.

Looking at the darkness outside the window through the hole in the cardboard, listening to the sound of the wind in the dark, as well as some faint murmurs and vague whispers, Tao Yu's mood became more complicated.

An old oil lamp was placed at the head of the bed. The soybean-sized flame emitted a dim light that illuminated the entire room, but all the light stopped abruptly at the window, as if not a single bit of it could penetrate out of the window.

The occasional jump of the flame made the shadow tremble in the room, as if it had come alive, and it seemed that this tiny flame could go out at any time.

“Is there really a peaceful world where everyone can eat meat…”

Tao Yu has lived in this world for eighteen years. Recalling the memories of his previous life in his dreams, he felt as if he was in another world.

Some things that I took for granted in my previous life are now a luxury in this life! A luxury!
Why didn't the self from this world travel to that world?
With the various fighting and survival skills that he had practiced for the past eighteen years, he could at least be a bodyguard or son-in-law in the city of the 21st century.

abyss……

The sword of Damocles hangs over the heads of everyone in this world, the end of the endless world.

It has been countless years since this world was targeted by the abyss.

From Tao Yu's limited knowledge, we can understand through some fragments that when the abyss just began to devour the world, the world's will instinctively awakened, giving everyone in the world the power to fight against the abyss.

The pioneers continue to go deep into the fragments of the world in the abyss rifts, seize the power of will to prolong the life of the world, and this has continued to this day.

Tao Yu didn't know what had happened exactly over the years, but the gray fog representing the invasion of the abyss had already spread across the world, compressing human living areas into cities and shelters.

Most of the connections between cities have been cut off, and people can only move forward with difficulty in the gray fog, relying on the lamp of will to illuminate the road, and barely maintain some increasingly rare communications.

The fire of civilization that dispels the gray fog in every city and the awakening day of every person's eighteenth birthday seem to be the last gift left by the world's will...

giggle~
The faint sound of roosters crowing could be heard from outside the dark window, and it seemed that in an instant all the darkness outside disappeared, replaced by a gray light.

The crowing of the rooster also woke Tao Yu from his thoughts. Looking at the gray light outside the window, he couldn't help but sigh secretly. Then he turned the oil lamp on the bedside that was covered with black oil stains and extinguished the soybean-sized flame.

There have been more and more disappearances in the outer city recently, and I don’t know when it will end. I hope that today’s awakening day will allow me to successfully awaken my combat talent. Judging from my parents’ talents, the best talent I can awaken should be [Dynamic Vision].

If the [Dynamic Vision] level can reach C or above, perhaps your identity can be changed.

Wearing plastic-soled shoes with unknown black dirt on them, Tao Yu pushed open the old door with a creaking sound. Outside was a living room with a similar style to the room.

The walls of the living room are mainly made of asbestos boards and iron sheets. In the middle there is a rusty table made of a tripod. The stools in the living room are also of different styles, as if they were made up of various garbage materials, including wood, triangles, and metal.

Coming to the water tank nearby, Tao Yu picked up the porcelain basin next to it and scooped a basin of water with an uneven aluminum alloy ladle.

Looking at the thin but slightly pretty face in the reflection, Tao Yu felt a little complicated. He didn't look bad, but he looked malnourished. The high frequency of dreams this month made his thoughts increasingly connected with his past life, and he felt that his brain was much smarter.

crunch~
The same harsh sound of the door opening was heard, and a dark-skinned and capable-looking woman came out of the room. When she saw Tao Yu, she smiled, revealing her white teeth.

"Ayu, today is your awakening day. You should rest well. I will do the farm work."

"Sister-in-law, I can't sleep."

Tao Yu nodded politely when he saw the woman, then reached out to wash his face.

"Well, my parents are due back at noon, and they should be able to bring you some useful weapons and equipment."

The woman sighed, thinking that Tao Yu was too nervous, so she said something to comfort him.

"I'll get you something fresh so you can take it with you and eat it on the first day."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

After washing her face, Tao Yu expressed her gratitude out loud.

Actually, this is my third sister-in-law, but my eldest and second brothers died on the day of awakening, my fourth sister got married, my fifth brother died in a cannon fodder mission, and my sixth sister went crazy and was beaten to death by the security team. Besides me, there are only my parents, my third brother and his wife, and my sixteen-year-old younger brother left in the family.

However, in order to lower the priority of the cannon fodder quota and increase their own weight points, the parents should be considering having a ninth child recently, but I don’t know whether they can still have it.

Although my life has been relatively stable since I was a child because my parents both have relatively stable jobs, I have also been accustomed to life and death since I was a child.

At the beginning of the abyss invasion, the awakening of the world's will gave people the power to fight back. The day of awakening is an extremely important turning point for everyone.

From the day of awakening, everyone in this world needs to spend a certain amount of time going deep into the cracks of the abyss to search for the power of will to strengthen themselves, which is also considered to strengthen the will of the world to resist the invasion of the abyss.

Although it is not digitized or panelized, the world will allow individuals to understand their abilities more clearly after awakening, and can accelerate and strengthen them through willpower, while also awakening personal talents.

There are all kinds of personal talents, most of which are not very helpful in combat and have a considerable impact on the speed of personal growth.

Due to the problem of limited resources, individuals with talents inclined towards fighting are more likely to be cultivated by the company and obtain corresponding privileges and resources.

For example, Tao Yu's father Tao Long has the talent of [Eagle Eye] (C+). Although it is of limited help in frontal combat, it still has certain advantages in scouts, sniping, reconnaissance and other aspects, so he has survived for so many years.

Mother Hong Xia has the talent [Agility] (F). Theoretically, the talent [Agility] is more suitable for combat than [Eagle Eyes], but its innate level is too low, only slightly better than the lowest F-.

Although there are said to be examples of people improving their talent levels, or even transforming and acquiring multiple talents, it is obvious that such a thing is impossible to happen in such an ordinary family.

So the mother finally chose to marry the father, wanting to cultivate [Dynamic Vision], a more suitable standard combat talent.

At the same time, she chose to specialize in a manufacturing skill, and relying on her dexterity, she entered a leather factory and became a senior skilled worker.

Coupled with the weight of their frequent childbirth, they have never been assigned cannon fodder tasks by the company over the years.

Although individual talents are closely related to heredity, among Tao Yu's many brothers and sisters, only the third brother Tao Tong inherited his parents' optimized talents and gained [Dynamic Vision] (D+).

Theoretically, he should have achieved even greater success and even joined the company security team.

But everything came to an abrupt end after he lost both legs during a mission.

Whether it's items for regenerating severed limbs or mechanical prostheses that allow him to continue fighting, neither is something his family can afford.

Fortunately, he was injured for the company's mission. In order to promote the company, the company "generously" exempted him and his wife Li Li from the cannon fodder mission quota, and they no longer have to worry about being forced to be cannon fodder for the rest of their lives...
