In my previous world , everything is defined with it's own set of rules.
Everything you do , you eat , you create , you think...
Would inevitably need to be defined and marked with those rules.
You cannot steal , molest , etc.
You cannot eat a human being or an endangered species of animal.
You should create things while abiding the regulations for safety , copyrights and so on.
And Your thoughts should be abiding societal standards in order to blend in with people.
As such everything is 'Within the rules'
but why must it be obeyed?
because it is ... "Convinient".
How so?
as it can "Control" people.
by instilling these set of 'rules' to a person's mind.
and having the 'Authority' to implement it.
People would inevitably conduct as they are told.
Power is essential for anything ..
If you are weak ... then you can only 'obey'
If you are strong ... then you can do whatever you want as long as you can hold 'Authority' on your grasp.
Nothing is truly 'fair' unless you count 'Death' as one.
Then 'Death' is essentially the same for everybody.
Walking outside the room dead bodies could be seen far and wide , animals , humans .. Distinguishing what's what or Who's who .. is nearly impossible ..
Children around 4 years old , 10 or even 15 .. Male and Female .. middle aged men and women .. even elderly corpses..
A terrifying mix of meat.
A disaster.
Looking up onto it closer.
I felt nausea ...
'I may be somewhat different in mentality , but I am still a human in flesh and blood'
That's why seeing this horrifying scene of carnage , I couldn't help but.....threw up.
Feeling overwhelmed , I walked around the hallway , searching for survivors.
As I approached the end of the corridor.
I saw it.
A curled up child.
She's sobbing.
I stopped for a moment.
"Right now.. approaching people unnecessarily would be detrimental for me...but I should still try."
And thus... The beginning of my first mistake in this apocalyptic world.
