[Authors note, Brian's name would be change to his player's name 'Seed', thanks for reading]
The bright sky of the afternoon had suddenly turn dark, as purple lightening could be seed in the Columbus nimbus clouds, the wind blew violently sending out debris as the came hitting on bigger ones, tress and other fragile structures were turn apart like tearing papers, this was the terrible climatic environment of Valaxia.
The semi range Geostorm.
The old residence had survived such situation with the aids of bunkers and technological innovation like barriers to overcome the raging climate and tsunamis which came destroying everything.
But
For players who had none of this except for an inventory yellow raincoat who served as the only protection, many may not see the blue sky tomorrow if the aren't lucky enough to survive the storm.
Seed stood under a building as he saw the acid rain dissolving the concrete on the ground, one of the dangers of such climate was the acidity of the rain, in small quantity, it could only cause skin irritation, but with this down fall, somebody walking under should be ready to face his skin peeling off.
"Luckily I left the hole, or else I would have been drown and burn to death" said Seed as he breathed in relief, he checked on his gun and found out that he knew nothing, "As long I can aim and shoot, knowing the model is useless" he thought, trying to confort his ignorance.
Seed kept his guards up as he monitored his environment, since the system had announced the Exp case, players numbers has been decreasing in a strange manner, not as in the start, but 3 or 4 lifes would end simultaneously and right now, tge number is still reducing.
<System Update: 789>
Meaning, 20 players had died so far, the rate is low but alarming, someone had started gathering Exp, or that thing had showed up, all this thoughts were circulating in Seed's head as he kept watch of the area, verysoon, he spotted movement from a near by building, as a shadow appeared and disappeared in the dark, Seed stood up and ran the opposite direction as fast as he could, and jumped inside a gap of two falling stones surly from a nearby building, and hid there as he looked behind him, he freaked out as he realized that, where he stood before someone was standing there now, and was inspecting the area, as if he was hunting, but what frightened Seed more was his equipments.
"In such a short amount of time, where did he get those equipments" Seed was shocked as he scan the equipments.
<Gas mask
The goggles placed on the mask enables the user to see in pitch black as in daylight, the air distribution is unlimited and can protect the user from any harmful gaz, classified as the 7 equipment given by the system>
<Fire lancer>
<A gun like arm, with a long mouth capable of spitting out intense heat of fire, and can be used in any conditions even under intense rainfall, but it usuage is limited to 10 strikes of fire breathing, after usuage, the equipment is rendered useless, classifieds as the 9 equipment offered by the system>
Seed stared at him before looking at his gun to analyze.
<Gun (basic name)>
<Not really impressive, usued as a self defence or lethal tool in case of danger, can't harm the drones, and can only be used against other players, it is quite useless in stage 2, classified as number 10 equipment offered by the system>
"What a lucky bastard" said seed, even though he restarted the game, he did not get any information on the were about of a the 10 weapons offered by the system, that wasn't the problem right know.
"Why is he still here?" Said Seed as he silently observed the person, the rain was heavy as the name on top of the person could not be read, verysoon the person abandoned, the rain was to heavy and Seed footsteps were watched away, as the person when back to where he came from.
Seed collapsed on the floor in relief as he saw the person going the opposite direction, "I see that PK has already started as some players are already hunting other players....".
The next day
"Please don't kill me" a feminine voice woke up Seed from hos slumber as he stood up and looked out, only to see a man pointing a gun to a woman, from her face, she was surly bitten and thrown on the floor and now, she would be killed, but it did not even affect Seed, as he got prepared to take the opposite direction.
"What can you even do, your useless" siad the man as he raored at her in anger, "shit!, this game have hindered rape, so I can use your shitty body to relieve my stress" the man added, foaming in anger.
"Please, I beg of you spare me" the woman kept crying as she kneel and head her head on the ground begging for mercy.
"Piss off bitch, go to hell" said the man, he was prepared to shoot when.
"Drop the gun now, or I put a hole on your head" said Seed as his expression grew colder, the man was shocked as he did not know how and when did this man appeared behind him.
"Hehe, calm down dude, don't do something you may regret, it was only a joke hehe"the man saud as his body trembled in fear.
"A joke?, pointing a gun on someone is a joke for you hehe, throw the gun on the floor" Said Seed, the man did exactly what he asked and threw it.
"You!" Seed called out to the woman, " pick the gun, or bring out yours" seed ordered.
"I...I misplaced mine" the woman said as she immediately picked the man's gun, seeing her saviors disbelief expression on how she misplaced her gun, she immediately lowered her heard out of shame.
"How could misplaced your only allied in such situation, do you want to die, if that so I can leave" Seed sai as he planned to leave, "No!" The woman screamed out of fear seeing brian turning to leave.
"What!?, you have his gun, you know what to do right" said seed as he stared at tge woman, the man was sweating as he stared at the woman with a threatening expression.
"I don't what to be a murderer" she said with a low voice as she started crying, Seed realized that, she had surly thrown her gun willingly thinking of doing a reasonable act, in normal circumstances, Seed would have abandoned her, but the words she said, an exact idiot like her said it before he faced the harsh reality of this world.
Bang!
The man's body fell on the floor, the poor guy did not even realize that he was dieing as his expression remain, as he kept glaring at the woman right to his pupils became with and his body turning into pixel like particles.
The woman was shockedand frightened as she stared at seed with a fearful expression, "is it easy to pull the trigger to take someone's life" she asked as she stared at seed.
Bending down, seed held her hand with her gun and looked in her eyes, "In this world is either to kill or to be killed, but those who don't accept it have another option, chose, wether you want to survive or die, is your own decision" seed said, he stood up and turn his back from the woman and left, she stared at seed as she walked away, until his shadow could not be seen again, she looked at the gun on her hand and at the sky.
As seed walked down the broken part of a ruin city arriving at the end, he saw a wide field with no fallen constructions, resembling the start of a deserted soil.
"This is were the first battle started..." seed thought as memories flashed in his mind, at that time he was with a group which ended up being annihilated, as seed set camp near a fallen wall creating a shade, he heard a gun sound which halted his movement, but did not take long as seed inspected his weapon and the exp he gotten from kill the man.
"This game is only at the first stage, and despair is already striking, how long would I last, when arriving stage 2" Seed thought as he looked at the deserted plains.
