Same old me

The red HUD notified Odin of his serious injuries many bullet wounds were on his body making him look like a sieve.

[time until death from Exsanguination: 12 minutes 43 seconds]

The men that attack him were running towards him Odin stood his ground as the man used his knife to attack him. Odin punched the man's chest but the frame of the exoskeleton protected him from the damage.

The man swiped odins right leg up causing Odin to fall back during that time the man used gravity to plunge the knife through odins armor.

After that attack, Odin didn't try fighting back his eyes were empty not having the will to survive as other animals did. His body didn't send physiological instincts to save him and he didn't much care.

Deep inside him though a restless creature slithered around his soul.

"Why do you allow them to kill you?" the creature asked as it looked at odins soul.

"It's pathetic that you would surrender like this!"

"Rember who you are and why you fight!"

"If you have to fear then fear it as long as it keeps you going!"

"Do not be a coward and wait for death like every other living being!"

The lost and hidden memories returned slowly as Odin grabbed the man on top of him. His eyes were emotionless showing no interest in the man in front of him.

Odin exerted unimaginable strength and broke the man's neck through his exoskeleton armor. The creature wrapped around odins soul and a dark shine appeared around his body healing his wounds and protecting him.

Odin dislodged the knife from his chest and stared at the group of men who fired their weapons at him. The men panicked as their weapons did no damage to the energy child around Odin. They saw the emotionless eyes that stared at them as if they were nothing no even that gave them meaning. he started at them past it as if they didn't exist at all as if all their meaning was gone and erased.

Odin rushed at the men and used the knife to cut into the men. His hand moved with such precision and speed that it was as if a machine was doing it. Odin cut the flesh in such a way that he kept the cells undamaged it should have been impossible. as the knife's edge was too big but the knife was just a medium and not the actual instrument of his art.

Odin killed the group making the snow-covered street bloody.

[knøll the first leviathan is interested in you]

Odin ignored the message and stared at the bodies.

[The sin of hope warns the lesser sin to be careful with their master]

Odin's eyes regained ounces of clarity then it showed different emotions from joy to sadness and stopped on endless hatred. He looked at the HUD and saw the date.

[JAN 1 2019 00:05]

It was a year since he arrived at this shit show of a game.

"New year same old me," Odin muttered his voice containing the apathy that still lingered in him.

He walked into the distance throwing away the battered armor and useless knife. His pale hands turned black as fingers turned to claws his head was covered in a mask that resembled a crow's beak. his back grew wings stretched to ten meters Odin changed his anatomy to allow him to fly by making his bones hollow.

Odin flew up into the sky using the energy to use more strength on the wings to produce lift. Naturally even this wasn't ideal for flight but magic always solves many problems easily.
