章 2: Beginning of terror
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."
Matthew immediately jumped from the bed with the cry he has just heard and rushed to the window to see what caused the cry.
But, soon he got scared by what he saw. A Texas Tech girl in her third year was lying on the floor, a pool of blood around her body and what seemed like a human figure was eating her alive.
This creature, who was eating her alive, was a zombie.
Matthew then began to pale when he vomited in a corner of the room after seeing this bloody scene. And then he asked to no one, "What the hell is happening?"
* Ding *
"What the user is seeing is basically the first monster, a monster of easy difficulty, basically a tutorial."
"Wait, is all this really going on? I must be dreaming, that's impossible!"
Matthew had a shocked expression on his face, since he thought it was just a dream or maybe a joke.
* Ding *
"Hahaha, apparently another pathetic user who will be dead at the beginning of everything."
Matthew got annoyed and started yelling at the system:
"What the hell are you talking about? Do you think life is a joke? We're talking about human lives here!"
* Ding *
"Tsk, you humans are always the same, always overestimating your own existence. For the deities, you are like the existences called "ants" that exist in your world."
Matthew was shocked that humans were considered ants, but it was expected since they were deities. Matthew felt no desire to argue with the system about it since it would not change the fact that the deities considered humans as ants.
Isn't what is happening now the strongest proof that they are ants?
Matthew soon looked at the window again and saw a scene he would never forget, at least at the beginning of the apocalypse. The zombie was tearing the girl's leg, making the girl faint, and she was being eaten alive. Soon he felt a wrap in his stomach again and once again he vomited to the side.
After two minutes Matthew calmed down again and began to wipe the vomit off his face and thought:
(Crap! I need to do something. I cannot stay here and wait for my death. I have to save my parents!)
* Ding *
"Oh, the user is worrying about other people at times like this - in fact, pray that your parents die early on, or they will experience the terror."
Matthew was frightened by the notion that the system could read his thought. But, he felt more annoyed when it said to pray for his parents to die early. If the system had a body Matthew would surely be punching his face at this time for cursing his parents.
"Die? Why should they die? And what terror are you talking about?"
* Ding *
"Are you dumb, user? All humans have been warned in the beginning. The unlucky ones will remain, the lucky ones will die."
"The user is not allowed to access this level of information."
Matthew felt helpless and weak on his knees. "So you mean my parents are dead?" Matthew then began to scream inwardly in pain. He had not been the best son these last years. He was giving excuse not to see his parents. And now they're gone?
* Ding *
"Well, if you're lucky, yes. If you're unlucky, no. Hahaha."
Matthew was a little happy with the fact that his parents could still be alive and let out a sigh of relief. With that in his mind, he took the most important decision he had ever made in his life. He decided to fight and to find out what happened to his parents, but soon he realized he had nothing to fight with the zombies. Matthew also realized that there was no other option; either he accepted the existence of the system or he would simply die, because he could not face the monsters.
"System, what can I do to be able to fight these monsters? You certainly do not expect me to fight these monsters by empty-handed, do you?"
* Ding *
"All users have the right to win a [LOTTERY] weapon and free skill at the beginning of the apocalypse so they can take a chance against the monsters to come."
Not wasting anymore time, Matthew immediately asked the system:
"How do I access this [LOTTERY]?"
* Ding *
"When accessing the [MENU], the user will have several options to access, among them the [LOTTERY]."
Matthew asked again: "And how do I access the [MENU]?"
* Ding *
"Simple, think of the word [MENU] and there will be several options of your choice."
Soon, Matthew followed what the system instructed him and thought about the word [MENU]. Several options then appeared for him.
[SYSTEM MENU]
[STATUS]
[LOTTERY]
[STORE]
[INVENTORY]
Matthew then asked the system:
"For me to open any of these options, I need to think about it, right? And you said there would be several options, why do I only see four?"
* Ding *
"HAHAHA, IT SEEMS THAT YOU ARE NOT SO DUMB. And to open new roles, the user will have to upgrade his rank."
Matthew thought of the word [LOTTERY] and soon saw several roulette wheel with a few sections on top of it. He was able to identify two roulette wheels [WEAPONS] and [SKILLS], the other roulette wheels were blurred. He figured he should have to improve his rank in order to access it. He then thought about the section [WEAPONS] and a roulette appeared before him.
"System, why does this roulette wheel look so realistic?"
* Ding *
"The roulette wheel was transported here with space power, granted to me by the great deity, and will disappear shortly after the user makes use of his free chance, or finish buying new attempts."
"And how do I make roulette wheel spin?"
* Ding *
"Think of roulette wheel spinning and it will start spinning and when the roulette wheel stops, your prize will be awarded, appearing in your [INVENTORY]."
Then Matthew thought roulette wheel spinning and suddenly...
* Click *
The roulette wheel began to spin as it made a clock-like noise.
* Tick tock* Tick tock* * Tick tock *
