Canary just finished lighting the candles for her youngest sister who passed away, exactly a year ago when suddenly she received an unknown message from her phone.
"Huh? A new type of scamming message ?"
She received a message asking her what is her greatest wish. She smiled when she read it and found it funny. Scammers have really unique way of scamming money nowadays.
Normally, she will block this type of messages but for some reason, she's in a mood to prank this scammer.
"What u doin?"
Her sister came back and happened to see her smiling while typing on her phone.
She showed her the message. Both of them laughed after her sister read it. She also find it funny. She also join in the fun.
Canary replied: I want my sister to be alive again
A few seconds later, she received another message: Are you willing to pay the price?
Canary and her sister Violet look at each other: Here it goes.
Violet take her phone and replied: What is the price?
After a few seconds, another message came but before we can read it. Another sister of mine came. She e went to buy some groceries outside.
"What's up with you guys?"
We told her what happened and she thinks we were both being childish again, but she also join in the fun.
Sapphire read the message," Eh? Joining a survival game?"
"Survival game? What survival game?" Violet asked.
"It only said, do you want to join a survival game. If you win, I'll grant your wish and give you rewards."
"Let me see," Canary is about to take back her phone when there's a sudden loud thunder. All of them was caught in surprise and she dropped her phone on the table.
"My God! It's scared me to death." Sapphire complained while holding her chest.
"Is there a typhoon today?" Canary asked.
Both of my sisters shrugged their shoulder.
Violet picked up her phone and suddenly exclaimed," Did you type yes?"
" I didn't, why?"
" You replied Yes, and now there's a message congratulating you... wait.. I think it's us? It said, Congratulations to all of you for participating in the survival game called Bloody Moon. And because this system didn't expect that it will have 2 more additional players..."
"Two more players?? It means me and you?" Said by Sapphire while pointing at Violet.
We all exchange glances then we suddenly have goosebumps. This isn't real right? No way!
Violet continue reading," This system will give you 5 minutes to bring things you want in the game. The rules of the game, all of you will know later. Good luck!"
"Oh my God! Is it true?!"
Canary decided to believe it, it won't hurt if they prepare. They can just put things back later if it's just a prank. " Let's believe it for now. Move faster pack all the things we will need, we only have 5 minutes.
The three sisters all hurried up packing their things. Fortunately, they all have traveling bags with them. It took 3 minutes for them to pack their clothes and things. Next, Canary went to the kitchen for knives and foods. Violet search for emergency lamp, flashlight and batteries. Sapphire get all the groceries she just bought.
All the thing are piled up in the living room. Only a minute is left, Canary find a rope to tie all the things together including them. What if they got separated, just to be sure.
Violet is tying Sapphire's waist when she suddenly asked," What if it's just a prank? Did we just make a fool of ourselves?"
"It's best if it's just a prank. We can still put the things back again. At most, it's just tiring. We can just think of it as an exercise." Canary said.
Sapphire joked," Yeah like a drill. At least next time, if there's a fire or earthquake we jave experience on packing things.
They're still joking when Canary's phone suddenly lit up and a message pops out: Time's up
Sapphire got scared and suddenly hugged the couch, Violet hugged their things. Suddenly something jump on Canary's lap and out of instinct, she caught it.
All of them look at the dog who suddenly jumped at Canary. This is a stray puppy they've adopted after their youngest sister died.
Canary wants to push the dog. But before she can do that, there's suddenly a blinding lights and when they open their eyes, they found themselves in an unknown place. It's a white space. Everything is white. There's nothing you can see except for those cloud like walls .
All the things they packed is there but the dog is nowhere to be found.
"Where's Choco?"
Choco is the name of their dog.
"Maybe he's still in the house?"
They're still discussing about what may happen to their dog when a big cotton ball appeared in front of them.
"I'm a system that specialize on stealing Divine Power from the Gods. The reason why all of you are in here is because this is my space. This is where you're bodies will sleep."
"Sleep? What do you mean by that?" Canary asked.
"Will you let me explain first before you asked questions?"
The three sisters looked at the talking cotton ball in front of them. There's only eyes and mouth. Looks cute but it's tone is cold.
"The reason why your bodies will sleep in here is because only your souls can enter the mission world. And your souls will possess bodies of those aborigines that already died in that world. The Gods on that world won't allowed intruders and they will destroyed your souls if they detect your presence. So make sure, no one will suspect you. The main mission is to make sure that world won't collapse. In order to do that, you have to save as much as you can. But... you will only save those people who's souls is not fully corrupted by those evil energies. Everytime you save one person, you'll get 10 points. Also saving animals also have points, but it's only 1 point. In that mission world. There will be thousands of players who also came from your world. All of those people have problems and all considered as rubbish people by the Gods of your world. Most of them are criminals, vicious people who did many great sins such as killing, robbery, rape, adultery and human trafficking. But some players are people that are sick in the mind and are considered as psychopaths. There's a high chance they'll commit crimes later. Out of all those players, I'll let you choose one person that you think can be redeemed and be on the right path. Once you chose that person, you can never change it. You have to make sure that person will be the final winner. There's two options , if your chosen player soul is only blackened less than 50 % or at most it didn't reach 60%. Then you can save people openly. The Gods won't notice it and they'll just think that player is unusual. The disadvantage is that those Gods will definitely make it hard for that player. But once your chose player reaches the 60%, then you have no choice but to do the second option and it's to wait until the blackened soul reaches 100 % and you have to to kill her on the final day. You have to make sure it's 100%, in order to kill your chosen player or any players and aborigines in there. You can attack those anyone that have 60% blackened souls, but you're unable to kill them if they're not on it's fullest no matter what u do at most you can just hurt them as much as how their souls are blackened. Also you can't save people openly. So I advice you to make sure your chosen player choose the right path or this mission will be very difficult for you."
They all frowned after hearing what the system said. Saving people is already hard but they also have to assist their chosen player, and the difficulty of saving people depends on that player choice. Whether he chose to be good or bad. Both are difficult. And those players, is there anyone that can go back to the good side? If that place is full of evil energies then it's not easy to cleanse their souls. Their just ordinary people in a peaceful society, now, they have to kill to survive? What kind of mess they've got into?
Seeing their appearance, the system decided to give them some candies. It will be bad if the players it's chose run away. As a good system, it have to make sure it's hosts are in good condition before doing their missions.
"Don't worry, this system is a good system that take cares of it's hosts very well. Every player on that game only received 1 cubic meter of space. But this system is not like that, I'll give 10 cubic meters of space for each of you. Players can get items by killing zombies and monsters. You can get points for saving people. Those points can be used to exchange in the system mall. There's a lot items in there and all of them are much more high quality and advanced than those items given by that survival system. Also I can give you a good and powerful body to use in that place. "
They were relieve when they heard what the system said. The three of them discussed for a long time. Since it comes to this, there's no point regretting, they must focus on how they can survive. The system also told them a lot about that survival game. At least they're much more luckier, those players only have one life and once they've died in the game. Then it means death in real life. At least, if they failed, they can still return in real life. It just that their wish won't be granted and no rewards.
"We already talked about it, since our success is also your success. Can you help us with one more thing?"
The system look at them suspiciously,"What is it?"
Violet is the one who answered,"There's a big chance that no matter who we chose they will all blackened to 60%, we just want something that can help us save people without the Gods noticing it."
"There's a limit to how I can help you, it's not that I don't want to make it easier for you but providing more help will makes the Gods notice you. "
"We just want a space where living things can be put inside. We're planning on hiding people we save in there. The Gods wants to eliminate everything in order for them to recreate a new world, so they decided to ask foreign help to destroy that world. In that case, it means it's pointless to save people if we still let them live in that world. That's why we need that space. We don't need those spaces you give, we only need just this space. " Canary explained
The system fell into deep thoughts and suddenly disappeared. They panicked a little because they don't know if the system will agree.
While the system is gone , they all decided to discussed how they can survive in that world. They also start organizing their things.
Sapphire is the first one to notice the system."The system comes back."
"The space you want can be given. I'll give you a small space enough to build a house and a small garden to plant , also a well for water. That space can be upgraded to make it more bigger everytime you finished given tasks or you use points. Those players can receive tasks and announcement from the survival system. I'll also help you receive those announcement in order for you to survive easily. I've already done so much, so I hope you won't let me down. Once you're in that world, you can't contact me but you can use the system mall. That's my apprentice. Here is the space. I will disguise it and all of you have access to it. " After the system said it, a white light enters their forehead. "The space is connected to your soul.You can enter that space but makes sure no one notice it. Good luck on your mission."
Before they can ask more, there's blinding lights again and when they open their eyes. They found themselves in an abandoned warehouse.
And all of them hear a voice in their minds. They look at each other. This must be that survival system announcement!
[The first post-disaster world survival contest kicks off! Survive for 365 days to share the bonus of 10 Billion dollars ! ! ! ']
Immediately afterwards, the mechanical sound appeared, and announces the rules of the game.
There's several key points, zombies, survival, 365 days, and space.
The organizer of the competition will provide all players with a space of one cubic meter, and players can freely choose what form the space will be.
On the basis of having one cubic meter of space, they need to survive on this place for 365 days, and those who survive to the end can equally share the money rewards.
Everything here is similar from their world, but there are beasts, zombies, and their kind on this island.
In addition to these, they also need to face the dangers of hunger, cold, disease and so on.
Not only that, the island will refresh the safe circle every fifty days, and those who fail to reach the safe circle within the specified time will be killed by poisonous gas. Players won't be infected by the ordinary zombie virus as long as they use the medicine and clean their wounds well but they are not immune to poisonous gas and abilities of mutated zombies. Also the game becomes more difficult as it progress.
Most importantly, the death here is real death and there will be no resurrection.
By the way, space can still be robbed, and after robbing, it can be merged.
The organizer of the game supports a series of vicious competitions.
After knowing the rules of the games. All of them decided to see what's on the system mall. There's almost everything in the system mall, there's also some things that are not from their world and came from other worlds but those item needs lots of points and can't be purchased to used on this world. The system mall will only let them buy things that are possible to exist in the mission world.
[Welcome to the Universal System Mall! Since you're a newcomer, the mall will you give 50% discount on 3 items for today.]
"There's a discount!" Sapphire happily exclaimed.
Violet scratches her head," But we don't have any points."
They all became suddenly sad, so sad.
[Don't worry, you can borrow points but there will be 25 % interest and you have to pay within a month. Would you like to borrow?]
The three sisters discussed, after a few minutes, they've decided to borrow some points. They really need to buy some items.
"We will borrow money"
[How much points?]
"2 000 points"
[Ding! 2000 points are now in your account. Please pay it within a month or you'll pay for penalty.]
"How much is the penalty?"
[If you fail to pay back in time, you will be electrocuted for 10 minutes. Don't worry, you won't die.]
"You should've told us that!" Sapphire complained
[You didn't asked, also there will be no problem as long as you pay it on time. What items do you want to purchase?]
Canary and her sisters already talk about what items they needed the most. The first item they've purchased is a monitoring device. It can monitored . It can monitor the area within 500 meters radius. It's worth 2000 points but since there's a 50 % discount, they purchased it for thousand points. Next they chose a medicine robot that can do simple surgery and help them take the right medicine. It's worth 500 points. Then they also purchased 3 magical shoes. It can change to any type of footwear and comfortable to the feet. Also it won't smell, dirt resistant and have 20 % defense on it. They won't have to be careful stepping on nails. It's 150 points. The remaining 150 points, they use it to purchase 3 weapons, Violet chose a bladed boomerang that looks like half moon. Sapphire chose a whip that looks like vines with deadly thorns on it. Canary chose rope dart. Those weapons are good for long distance and the cheapest weapon with good qualities they can purchased.
Even though they don't know how to use it, those weapon is a sure-hit weapons. No matter how bad their skills are, it will never missed once they locked their target. It just that, there's a rule that they can only use one weapon from the system mall. They can change it later but the mall will take back the previous weapon. So it's more like they're just renting the weapons.They need weapons now, and this weapons will help them greatly. They're just ordinary girls without fighting abilities. They don't even step on cockroaches. The only living things, they've killed is mosquitoes and ants.
Luckily, they're allowed to use weapons that the players and aborigines use in here. The problem is that they don't know how to use it, but it doesn't matter. They just have to practice hard.
All they have to do is find a suitable player. Make sure that player is protected well and then do some brainwashing. Find some people to save. Spread love in this bloody world.
But....
Can they managed to do all that?
