"Name?" The guard at the gate ask with an indifferent and uninterested look.
"Kim Jeon-il."
"Age?"
"17."
"Any ID with you?"
I then proceed to show my ID, good thing he didn't check where exactly is my school, or he would get suspicious on how did I get here.
The guard nodded.
"Your level and show us any skill that can atleast protect you from zombies, no need to show us your special ability we respect your privacy, unless if you want to show it yourself like those people then it's okay."The guard said.
what level should I say? the zombies needed to be slain from level 7 to 8 is 5000, the zombies needed to slain from level 3 to 4 is only a hundred.
killing a hundred zombies is quite a lot, yeah let's just go with this.
"Level 4 and I have a skill that can summon."
"Level 4? you are quite a strong one kid, summoning skills and abilities are quite unusual, show us."The guard said.
"Okie dokie."
I raises my hands and proceed to chant of course I don't need it but it sounds cool and I need too show that I just don't need to raise my hands and summon something.
this is a special summoning ritual to make contact with the demon Azazel in 2.01 In My Time of Dying. Some of the required ingredients for the ritual were: blood of the summoner, acacia, oil of Abramelin, six lit candles positioned on the Sigil of Azazel, and a Latin incantation:
"Attenrobendum eos,
ad consiendrum,
ad ligandum eos,
potiter et solvendum,
et ad,
congregontum eos,
coram me."
You know the process by now, white lights, then vicious huge wolves emerges.
Just so you guix have idea how tall they are, about 5 feet and 7 inches, just by standing with their four limbs alone.
"Oho! how strong they are? and how many can you summon everyday?"
"Atleast they can easily kill tier 1 zombies, and about 6 of them."I said.
"I see, that's really useful, grab this."He said, then give me something like an ID of some sorts.
it looks like this.

Level 4
"You just need to stick it to your chest."The Guard said.
With that I'm good to go.
I entered the city and to my surprise it is not as desolated as I expected it to be.
I applaud their fast adaptability.
there's a of lot people walking around that I may have to think twice if the Apocalypse were nothing but just a dream.
there's a lot of fliers here about the hiring, but it would occur three days from now.
"What should I do?"
I would want to eat but I don't have money, now that I think about it can money even be use now?
I have foods here but not actual foods.
I'm just walking around here then something caught eyes.
infront of the door of a restaurant a bulletin that says;
Level 4 and higher Awakened beings is free of charge.
my eyes lit, so we have privileges now?
I went inside and there's actually a lot of people here about 50, the restaurant was also quite large.
I walk in the counter.
seeing my level the one in the counter smiles amiably.
so this is what social status feels like?
just a few days in the Apocalypse and people already set this?
I sighed.
this will divide people again and will cause discrimination.
anyway I've ordered something and find a table.
a few minutes later my food arrive.
the smell soothes my nose.
I felt like this is the first real food I've encountered in ages.
with that I gobbled my food, maybe it's because of my higher constitution that I need way more food than average people.
plates and plates stockpiled on each other.
roughly an hour later, my belly was satisfied as I releases a burp.
moments like this let me forget about the Apocalypse.
I look around as people stares at me with shock but they kept it hidden, I also turned my head towards the counter and gave an apologetic look.
If expressions can be translated their face was like; Do you have a void hiding in your stomach or something?
after that I just keep on walking around, and entered buildings that I have privileges.
I eat a lot of stuff as well get some free clothes and get some free stuffs.
I wonder if there are already blacksmiths of some sorts now.
also I have a place to stay now in these 3 days, its nice to be a level 4.
along the way I've heard that the privileges will change anytime depending on world's average level.
it seems that level 4 is part of the top level awakened beings.
I took a look at my status before I sleep

3 days passed as thousands of people were now gathering in the city's plaza.
some old man explained things to us.
he said that the top 20 contributors will be given spatial rings.
'I see'
since money can't be used now they have thought of another things that may have such a huge value in our current situation, spatial rings is indeed really useful now, that is indeed a one tempting offer, ancient families have finally decided to come out of hiding, I wonder where did they get it, I've only seen spatial rings in movies, animes, mangas and novels.
and for the top 3 contributors they will be given huge rewards.
one of them is skills, aside from the skills and special abilities given to us from the start we don't exactly know how to gain one.
and so the ancient family decided to teach one of their skills personally.
their offer is indeed enticing to the masses, but I have inventory already, about skills however I'm quite curious about that.
and now there are auditions of some sort, they are testing whether you can qualified as a C, B and A Ranker.
people proceed to auditions and some failed even though they have higher ranked abilities what the ancient family judges is the entirety of their combat prowess and whether they'll be useful for the exploration.
some passes with flying colors, like the guy with an ice power, the guy that can become a giant, there's something insane Special Abilities like Item duplication and skill replication, they have their own limitations of course, there's also one person who have a legendary ranked special ability, it is Reactive Evolution, that's one hell of a broken ability.
If my memory serves me right it is an ability which is they users can either instantly develop powers or abilities to deal with threats or their bodies dynamically learn from experience. Depending on the user's control of the power or genetic structure, the reactive effects can be permanent or temporary.
For example, after a certain situation, the user's skin may become tougher. They may display increased IQ after a difficult test or fortified emotions after a personal argument. The user may be able to read different languages after moments of looking them up or be able to withstand a constant bombardment of radiation. Some users may develop Enhanced Speed after being shot, or grow Dermal Armor, or gain the opposite power of their opponent.
in short Reactive Evolution is the ability to adapt to certain attacks in order to become more resistant to them, and more successful under the given conditions.
this is really broken that you may even have a chance to resist death then gain self resurrection ability, Dr. Manhattan once bring himself to life from death.
I waited on my turn and I've already thought of what persona I'll take over.
