Tatehan watched, silent. He blinked once, then twice, his expression neutral. He'd seen his stats before. This wasn't new information. So why was the system showing him this again?

Then the text shifted.

[Analysis: Fall Survival Factors]

[Primary Factor: Gravity Manipulation (Level 10)]

[By reducing your personal mass to approximately 8% of baseline weight, terminal velocity decreased from 53 m/s to 12 m/s. Impact force reduced from 847,000 Newtons to approximately 152,000 Newtons. Without this intervention, survival probability: 0.003%]

Tatehan read through the numbers, his brow furrowing slightly.

Yeah. He'd figured as much. He'd made himself light, reduced the impact and survived the fall. The system was just putting exact numbers to what he'd already known instinctively.

"That's it?" he muttered.

The system replied immediately, as if it had been waiting for that exact reaction.

[Negative. There were other factors.]

Tatehan blinked.

Other factors?

The display shifted again, highlighting a different line on his status screen.

[Secondary Factor: Enhanced Durability (Level 2)]

[Enhanced Durability increases bone density by 11% and skeletal structural integrity by 14%. Muscle tissue compression resistance increased by 21%. Organ protection from blunt force trauma improved by 31%.]

[During impact, your reinforced skeletal system absorbed 58% more kinetic energy than baseline human bone structure. Fractures that would have been catastrophic were reduced to hairline cracks. Internal organs, cushioned by denser muscle tissue, sustained 44% less damage than projected.]

[Without Enhanced Durability, even with reduced terminal velocity, survival probability drops to 42%.]

Tatehan stared at the text, his eyes widening slightly.

Oh.

That.

He hadn't even thought about Enhanced Durability. It was such a low-level ability (only Level 2) that he barely paid attention to it. It wasn't flashy like Gravity Manipulation or useful in combat like his Heightened Perception. It was just... there. Passively making his bones a bit tougher, his body a bit more resilient.

But apparently, that "bit" had made all the difference.

He smiled faintly, shaking his head.

'Guess it's more useful than I thought.'

Now that it was at Level 2, maybe it would contribute even more going forward. He made a mental note to pay more attention to it. Maybe try to figure out how to level it up faster.

But then the system interrupted his thoughts again.

[Negative. Analysis incomplete.]

Tatehan's smile faded.

'What?'

[There were additional environmental variables that contributed to survival probability.]

Tatehan sat up straighter, his full attention now locked on the display.

Environmental variables?

What?

The system began listing them, each entry appearing with precision, one that stunned Tatehan.

[Tertiary Factor: Wind Velocity and Direction]

[At the time of impact, atmospheric conditions were as follows:]

[- Wind speed at 2,000 meters altitude: 18.3 m/s, direction: Northwest (312°)]

[- Wind speed at 1,000 meters altitude: 14.7 m/s, direction: Northwest (310°)]

[- Wind speed at 500 meters altitude: 9.2 m/s, direction: West-Northwest (295°)]

[- Wind speed at ground level: 3.8 m/s, direction: West (270°)]

[Combined crosswind forces applied lateral drift of 47 meters during descent. This shifted your projected impact point from [Zone A: Reinforced Plaza Foundation - 94% lethality] to [Zone B: Fractured Plaza Surface - 67% lethality].]

Tatehan's eyes widened.

The wind?

The system wasn't done.

[Quaternary Factor: Rotational Momentum]

[During freefall, your body rotated at an average angular velocity of 1.2 radians/second. This rotation distributed impact force across a broader surface area rather than concentrating it on a single point. Estimated reduction in localized pressure: 22%.]

[Additionally, rotation caused you to strike the ground at a 34° angle rather than perpendicular. This further dispersed kinetic energy, preventing catastrophic spinal compression.]

Tatehan just stared.

'Uh…'

The system continued, relentless:

[Quinary Factor: Atmospheric Density]

[Mars's atmospheric pressure at ground level: 610 Pascals. Earth equivalent: 6,100 Pascals. Lower air resistance allowed for a smoother deceleration profile when combined with reduced mass. Turbulence minimized by 41% compared to Earth baseline conditions.]

[Sexenary Factor: Ground Composition]

[Impact zone consisted of composite stone with 12% structural micro-fractures from prior fortress debris. Surface gave way under pressure by 3.7 centimeters, absorbing additional kinetic energy. Estimated impact force reduction: 8%.]

[Septenary Factor: Body Position at Impact]

[Your left shoulder struck first, followed by torso rotation. This sequential impact distribution prevented simultaneous organ trauma. Time between initial contact and full-body impact: 0.14 seconds. Sufficient delay for partial regeneration response to activate preemptively.]

The notifications kept coming, each one more absurdly detailed than the last, showing stuffs that seemed way too detailed it was hard to process them.

[Octary Factor: Thermal Expansion of Armor Plating]

[Your Kinetic Absorption Armor had absorbed residual heat from plasma fire during the fortress assault. Elevated temperature caused metal lattice expansion of 0.003%, increasing surface area and marginally improving impact distribution.]

[Nonary Factor: Micro-Gravitational Anomaly]

[Localized gravitational field fluctuation detected at impact site. Variance: 0.0021 m/s². Duration: 0.08 seconds. Cause: Unknown. Effect: Minimal but measurable reduction in final impact velocity.]

Tatehan's mouth hung open slightly.

He couldn't even process half of what he was reading.

This was making him dizzy. He didn't understand shit!

The wind blew him forty-seven meters off course, and that alone had been the difference between dying instantly and just being critically injured?

His body spinning during the fall had somehow been beneficial?

There was a gravitational anomaly at the exact spot he landed?

The system finally paused, displaying a summary.

[Survival Probability Breakdown:]

[- Gravity Manipulation: +61% survival chance]

[- Enhanced Durability: +18% survival chance]

[- Environmental Factors (Wind, Rotation, Ground Composition, etc.): +19% survival chance]

[- Unknown Variables: +2% survival chance]

[Final Survival Probability: 100% (Achieved)]

[Conclusion: Your survival was the result of multiple compounding factors, many of which were outside your direct control. Probability of replicating these exact conditions: 0.00007%]

Tatehan stared at the final line for a long moment.

Then he let out a breath and muttered:

"What the fuck!"
