In the Apocalypse, I Can Analyze All Things

Three years into the apocalypse, in River Valley Town, I'm just a doctor who runs errands.

A pack of mutated black-scaled hyenas breaks into the camp, leaving many dead and wounded. The leader tries to flee. One of the hyenas pounces on me. As I hover on the brink of death, the Compendium of All Things activates, and I spot its fatal weakness.

The world slows down. I dodge to the side and draw the scalpel I've carried for three years.

They think I've gone mad, but they don't know that the doctor of the wasteland is dead, and the Reaper with a scalpel has arrived.
