Hi, I am stupid. So now, take your pick.

Also, assume that you are not in danger, just isekai-ed into an unknown place with everyone speak and write english/ mother tongue/ whatever language you're comfortable about. No you are not the hero, not the center of the world. But you can be... and possibly getting yourself killed from the natives that find you annoying.

The stat you pick is the only stat that is pushed to inhuman level. Maybe to superhuman but not to absolute. Every other stats may or may not grow.

Strength: Stonks. Increase carrying, lifting, throwing and grip strength to a level that you can deadlift an M1 Abrams or two. Or three. Also helps with jumping, leaping, dashing, punching, etc etc etc. It does not affect your body defense, ie while you have no issue to punch with the force of a speeding truck, you yourself can't take in that force. Also energy consumption is somewhat scaled to your normal body, ie you can lift 10 ton like lifting the usual 10 Kg and get just as tired like before.

Speed: Fast as fucc boi. You can move up to Mach 10. Your acceleration is high af like, from stationary to mach 10 within a second. You can Ora Ora or Muda Muda (or Ara Ara) as you please and make speed clones. It does not affect your body defense, ie adiabatic heating will not kill you. Also energy consumption is somewhat scaled to your normal body, ie you can run 10 miles like running the usual 10 meters and get just as tired like before.

Reaction: Matrix bullet time. I lump this stat with dexterity, so in short,you have good hand-eye coordination and you don't have enough time to react, you can lengthen the time by thinking harder. You get tired though.

Health: Regeneration is your bitch. you don't need to eat and shit like Minecraft Steve to regrow an arm, to hell you don't need to eat or drink or breathe, but you do get tired and need sleep. You also don't get ill, poisoned or die from blood loss but as a caveat, your head is a weak point, namely your pituitary gland. Every bit however is fairgame. Also, you aged slower than normal, like, a 100 times slower... Yeah, apologies for those who want to be immortal, I don't, so I capped the deceleration of aging at 100, meaning you still get to live till maybe 10,000? Give or take a few hundred years.

Stamina
: No fatigue. You don't get tired and need sleep, but you still need to eat and drink. You can work forever with just your normie body though, at or below the average the human standard.

Defense: Taking a 9mm everyday to build up resistance for higher calibers. You start with your default normie body and take hits like a pinata. Got kicked in the groin? Iron balls. Got sodomized? Titanium sphincter. Got Rasputined? Immune to whatever that happened. The only catch is you cannot die before the immunity kicks in and also, only the parts that got the damage is the one that got the immunity, ie if you shot your hand, after the wound healed, only your hand is bulletproof.

Ok bye. And thanks if you take your pick.

Speed. A punch, if thrown fast enough, generates power and force that mimics great strength all on its own. So, to be fast, is also to be strong. Bruce Lee proved this.
and your bones shatter from the force generated

Bruh I specifically state that your body can handle that shit.

From what you yourself is doing.

Strength and Speed are both reasonable physical aspects of the body and I stated that choosing these stats means that you are immune to the shits they caused.

Except it is by external forces.

I was refraining from saying this myself as I just assumed he hadn't read the whole thing properly. Like I said, nitpickers, there is always one of them.

One of the most common examples, and most widely known, would be The Flash. Dude is super fast, and can send dudes flying with a direct hit. Don't remember him having a chronically broken limb problem, do you? XDD

Reaction, might be weakest choice but I gladly take it.

Try to learn dodge everything as much as I can. I did prefer speed, but I thought at the first time to use 'speed', I would crashed somewhere and tripped easily if I didn't get fast enough reaction to accomodate it, which probably never enough to get into full potential without inhuman reaction. Also need time to train and pain first, and I hate pain.

eeh i dont think reaction force is external but fair enough

also health is the best one. not having to eat or shit is the best possible powerup there is

Sounds like hell. I love food. Specifically Mexican food. Couldn't do without it.

The in-universe handwave is the speedforce.

you can still eat you just don't have to
Yup.

Also, I on purpose split speed and reaction and most people still did not noticed.

I choose health. it is a decent power in a fight, and while It might not make you win, but anything nonlethal becomes inconsequential.
Most importantly it is the one that will elevate my quality of life the most. In a Isekai world with presumably middle ages technology, the immunity to illness will be invaluable.
If I am just a random person who is not expecting to fight monsters or for anyone to have a high investment in killing me, a head wound would be very unlikely. If I don't go looking for a fight, the worst that is likely to happen would be getting beaten up by thugs. Painful yes, but they are not the kind of people with the force to bash in your skull or do a precision strike in your eyes.
Basicazlly, my safty would be relatively garanteed, so I could go along doing whatever I want.
It is also relativly unconspicuoius. With my modern knowlege of biology, I would probably make a pretty good ancient times novice docctor, which would elimiate questions about me being healthy all the time.
Best of all, it will help me live longer. Even if it does not make me downright immortal, it would certainly extend my life expectancy.
Humans don't actually die of old age there is no limit to our lifespan. We just grow weaker, and our body begins to have all kinds of problems. It is then very easy for a small sickness to end our lives, or for some important part of our body to fail.
Since I can regenerate, I don't really have to worry about organ failure, since they will be magically fixed. I am immune to sickness, so what will kill me?

Nah, I noticed. Which is why I mentioned training earlier. You can train reaction time, and since my body would already be accustomed to the movement speed, it would take only, for a similar example, as long as a bodybuilder would need to gain large muscle mass. So, 6-8 months to around 2-3 years at most?

Strength.

But who the fuck is choosing defense? You gotta endure those shit to become immune. You mustve been reading the Sandman Slim novels while thinking that one up
