The moment I pressed my finger down, the whole world went silent.
There were no explosions, no screams, and no disgusting stench when the monster roared. The carrion wolf that was biting the girl next to it a second ago seemed to have been turned off and froze in mid-air, its fangs only three centimeters away from her neck.
The girl's eyes widened, tears were still hanging on her face, and she even stopped breathing.
No, it wasn't that she stopped—it was the whole world that stopped.
I looked down at my right hand, and a transparent virtual panel was flashing in my palm. The above is too concise, with only a few lines:
