The Abyssal Titan Awakens
The Abyssal Titan Awakens
The Abyssal Titan loomed over Miguel, its six massive arms flexing, glowing veins of molten gold pulsing like rivers of liquid fire beneath its obsidian-like skin. The sheer weight of its presence sent tremors through the cavern floor, cracks spiderwebbing outward as reality itself seemed to strain under its existence.
A system prompt flickered violently in Miguel's vision.
[Boss Encounter: Abyssal Titan – Guardian of the Depths]
[Threat Level: Cataclysmic]
[Warning: Environmental Instability Detected – Tower Foundations Shifting]
Miguel exhaled sharply, gripping his spear. "I really should stop touching ancient artifacts."
The Titan's eyes snapped open—six glowing slits of molten gold—and the battle began.

Gravity Against the Colossus
The Titan moved faster than something that large should be able to.
One of its six arms lashed forward, and Miguel barely had time to react before an entire section of the cavern collapsed from the sheer impact. The force of the blow sent a shockwave that nearly threw him off balance.
Miguel focused—called upon his Gravity Affinity.
He threw himself sideways, altering the gravity around his body mid-air, shifting the force so that he accelerated faster than humanly possible. The Titan's second strike narrowly missed as he landed atop a jagged rock formation.
Miguel's mind raced. I can't just dodge forever. How the hell do I damage something this big?
The Titan roared, the deep, earthen sound shaking the cavern itself. It raised all six arms at once—
And brought them down.
The entire cavern floor exploded.
Miguel barely had time to register the deafening impact before the stone beneath him shattered completely, sending him into a freefall toward the endless abyss below.
No—!
Instinct took over.
Miguel twisted in mid-air, reached deep into the pull of gravity within him—
And pushed outward.
A shockwave erupted around him, halting his fall as the air itself bent under the force. The remaining debris froze mid-air, hovering as if weightless, before Miguel redirected the force downward—launching himself straight back up toward the Titan's head.
[New Skill Activated: Gravity Well – Mid-Air Control Unlocked]
Miguel's eyes flashed with realization. I'm getting stronger.
The Titan sensed his approach.
It swung one massive arm, attempting to swat him out of the air—
But Miguel adjusted his weight instantly, shifting his body mid-flight to barely dodge the strike.
He landed on the Titan's arm, his spear crackling with lightning and fire.
"Let's see how heavy I can make you."
He drove his palm into the Titan's flesh—
And increased its weight tenfold.
The Titan lurched.
A system prompt flickered.
[Gravity Overload Applied – Titan's Movement Impaired]
Miguel grinned. That worked.
But the Titan wasn't done.
It roared in defiance, its molten veins surging with power. With sheer brute strength, it forced its arm upward, despite the increased weight—
And then flung Miguel off with a seismic burst of energy.
Miguel twisted in mid-air, but the force was overwhelming. He hit the ground hard, pain flaring through his ribs as debris rained down around him.
The Titan stalked forward, each step causing the cavern itself to distort.
Miguel groaned, pushing himself up, blood dripping from his temple. "Okay… let's not do that again."
A new system message flashed.
[Abyssal Titan Entering Phase Two]
[Environmental Collapse Approaching – Tower Structure Unstable]
Miguel wiped the blood from his brow and smirked.
"Alright, big guy. Let's finish this."

Outside the Game – Observation Room
The room was in chaos.
A technician's hands trembled over their console. "Sir, we're losing stability in the lower Tower sectors!"
Dr. Halloway's jaw tightened. "I can see that."
The lead engineer paled. "Sir, this isn't just a boss fight anymore. The Tower is reacting."
Another technician swallowed. "Miguel is either going to break the system… or rewrite it."
Outside, the storm surged violently.

Return to the Battlefield: The Titan's Awakening
The Abyssal Titan let out a guttural roar, its body shifting.
The molten gold in its veins darkened, turning a deep crimson. Its body expanded, new obsidian-like armor plating forming over its limbs, reinforcing its massive frame.
A system alert flashed.
[Abyssal Titan – True Form Unveiled]
[Adaptation Protocol Activated]
Miguel barely had time to register the change before the Titan attacked with newfound fury.
It raised one massive foot—
And brought it down.
A gravitational shockwave exploded outward, sending entire chunks of the cavern floor hurtling into the air. The pressure hit Miguel like a sledgehammer, sending him skidding backward as he fought to remain upright.
His own Gravity Affinity resonated with the force—his body reacting instinctively.
Miguel planted his feet, willing his own force outward—
And countered the Titan's gravity with his own.
The colliding forces tore through the battlefield, shattering stone and creating a vortex of pure gravitational energy.
Miguel could feel the pull—the Titan wasn't just using brute strength anymore. It was manipulating gravity itself.
He gritted his teeth. If it can do that, so can I.
A new system prompt appeared.
[New Combat Challenge: Outmaneuver the Titan's Gravity Manipulation]
[Failure Penalty: Certain Death]
Miguel exhaled. "Yeah, no pressure."
The Titan moved.
Miguel charged.
Their gravity collided.
The final stage of the battle had begun.
