Essence of theCritical Hit

By imbibing this Essence, you learned how to give Cause and Effect the middle finger. As the Essence implies, you will get a “Critical Hit/Success” in anything you win/succeed at, a NAT20 on all good outcomes.

• What this means that is that the end result of your actions (the positive ones) will be both disproportionately and massively more successful than it should or reasonably could have been.

• You punch the Lv100 Demon King as a Lv1 Adventurer with shit gear? You knock his ass out or obliterated his HP bar because it was a “Critical Hit”, you win a small amount of money on some lottery or Gacha and because you succeeded (even with so little to show for it) it will be “Critical Success” and instead of winning a small pittance of currency you will win the highest prize with all the applicable bonuses. If you compliment the girl you like or find attractive and she’s even the slightest bit flattered then then it will become a “Critical Success” and that minor flattery become a major flattery with all resulting positive feelings for you being amplified as well.

• For every “Critical Hit/Success” you get your future critical hits/successes will get progressively larger and more successful, to point that you might defeat dragons and gods with a mere flick, turn stock markets into your own personal playgrounds, seduce legions of beauties with an appreciative look or just instantly win in general from the smallest positive outcome that you were personally and immediately responsible for.

• This Essence can read your intent so if you don’t consciously want to win then it won’t “proc” (programmed random occurrence), additionally it will police itself so that when sparring with someone you don’t want to kill you don’t accidentally red mist them.

• This Essence isn’t as all powerful as it might sound, because if you can’t attain that initial “Positive Outcome” then this Essence won’t activate. It can’t turn loss into victory, it can’t defeat an enemy when you can’t even do the slightest amount of damage to that enemy to enhance, it can’t increase the nonexistent rewards of a lost bet or gamble or increase the positive emotions a woman might feel from your actions and words if she doesn’t feel them in the first place.
