This was the first thing I saw when I woke up.
Out of nowhere a wave of memories floods me, with a face of pain from the memories, I lie down again, while I process the information.
After a few moments I sat down again, having already processed everything, I close my eyes and sigh as I open them again.
Andrew: well...I thought it was a dream, but it seems it was real.
In my memories I could see a 27-year-old salaried man. With a normal life, from home to work and from work to home, without a partner or children, orphaned for as long as he can remember. You don't have to think so much about who he was and one afternoon when he was on his way home, he was the victim of a robbery, the boy seemed new at work and while he was aiming he was shot, that's what happened and then everything went dark.
Then in the darkness a light appeared, he talked about something with him but everything is confusing, the only thing he caught was "mistake" and "sorry", and then he woke up here.
And seeing the blue screen with the statistics, I just had to connect the dots: death + being strange + a video game system = reincarnation.
In his free time, he read stories where the protagonist received a system after dying and in his situation, it was the result after thinking about it.
Getting out of bed, I walked to the window and what I saw left me wide-eyed.
Andrew: ok....what happened here?
Looking towards the city or what's left of it, I could see that the place seemed to have gone through a war.
And looking down I can see a lot of people like it should normally be, but the strange thing, from what I could tell in a building of maybe 25 to 30 floors, is that they look like animals in a herd, even from here. you could hear something like growling and they also looked dirty.
Returning to bed, I sat up and thought about what I saw.
Andrew: God... tell me that's not what I think,
Andrew: God... tell me that's not what I think_*phew*_ just seeing the city and the "people" grunting below is enough to know the situation.
This is an apocalypse.
After many sighs I remembered the system. Looking to the side I couldn't find it, and trying my luck I said:
Andrew: system.....

Looking at the statistics, I notice the Magic Power part and ask:
Andrew: System, explain to me about magic power.
A few seconds later, the system responds with letters.
[Magic Power is a natural energy from the environment absorbed by every living being in its inner core, used for attacks and defense with spells of the four elements, light, darkness or charged Magic Power...]
[Also Transfiguration or Transformation from one object to another, physical or sensory enhancement slightly beyond the user's capabilities, the more it is absorbed, the larger the core becomes and the more magic can be used...]
Andrew: How do I absorb magic power? Also tell me why does it say I have 100 magic power if I don't feel anything? .
[Magic power is absorbed through meditation, it can be absorbed naturally but it is a slow process, in your case you can advance by gaining points and absorb if you want]
[They all have magic power within them, but by ignoring its real existence, it becomes impossible to feel it unless you practice with it properly...]
Andrew: And how do I do the spells?.
[spells are based on imagination, as long as you have magic power, you can do many things like in the movies in your world, originally you need to learn other things, but you are a special case...]
[anything else?]
Andrew: Thanks, but I'm fine with that, the rest is easy to understand.
[at your service...]
After that "conversation", I looked at the statistics.
Andrew: two points for the zombies and four for the living... I suppose that if there is crime with laws, now without them it will be hell for some but a paradise for others...
End of chapter. :)
