"Ahh
"What a good sleep. I only don't know the place I'm dreaming of and I felt like something killed me in that dream of mine, but I've never felt this way before when I was in the Apartment.
"Ahh
"So good.
"It seems being kicked out of the house was the best choice I ever made in my entire life!.
"I am..."
Crocus was about stretching his hand to feel the refreshing feeling of his sleep when...
"Huh!?"
He was wide-eyed when he saw where he was right now. His breathing also felt like he was a little not used to it.
'What is this?'
Crocus could see the trees are without leaves and all of them are black. Cracks all over the cement ground and its design are not the same as he saw yesterday, and the sun is a little red.
"What's going on!? What is this!?"
Crocus suddenly noticed what he was wearing.
'Huh!? What the!? No wonder it is heavy. Is somebody pranking me!?'
He is wearing traditional royal white western clothing. A stylized yoke on the front and the back. It is constructed of chambray, denim, or tartan fabric with long sleeves, and in modern form is sometimes seen with snap pockets, patches made from bandana fabric, and fringe.
Arrrgghh!!
Crocus groaned. His head felt heavy and when he tried to put his hand on it, he felt a little wet and sticky. Looking at it, he felt a great apprehension of fear.
"Blood!? What's going on!?"
All of the sudden...
Zennnnnnnnnnnnnggg!
Zennnnnnnnnnnggg!
Zennnnnnnnggg!
It was a pain in his head. He didn't understand that he was looking at this unfamiliar world that was swirling into the void.
Out of nowhere in front of him, a screen appeared with text written inside.
[Congratulations, humans from this planet called Earthoran, this planet were one of the few chosen to compete with other civilizations that have intelligence in a universal survival game called the Universal Renewal.]
The text in front of Crocus was accompanied together with a teasing female voice works like a narrator.
Crocus couldn't help but contemplate.
"Earthoran? Should be earth, right? Am I in the future if they change it?"
[I am 'ALL SYSTEM' and I'm here to guide all creatures with intelligence like all humans in this game. Yes, a newly born child or on a death door old people do not have an unfortunate and fortunate chance in this game!]
All around this world, every single human can see the screen in front of them.
[This is a game of survival! A survival of the fittest! Strong eats the weak! Survival of the fittest! The winner takes all! To know more about me, just say inside your head the word... 'ALL SYSTEM MENU!'
[It will appear like this...
[ALL SYSTEM:
[Level: 0
[Instructions/ Announcements
[Gifts (0)
[Buy (<) Sell (>)
[Crocus (name of the user) status.]
"Is this bullshit?"
Crocus looked around with fear in his eyes. He can't see any people because he is in a dark park, but his choice is to believe.
[Like I am telling you, your lives will turn into a game. Big countries aren't going to war with each other, not also to reduce population, but for this moment only, those who are immune will live and get to get and tame spirits in the game or a lucky chance and those who are not immune will turn into undead.
[The game will start when one sees the sun become redder and redder as the virus is already enveloping the whole planet Earthoran, agitating your eye. The entire world will turn into chaos, animals will mutate and I hope that some of you survive. Krakrakrakra! ]
Crocus came to a stop when he read and heard this part.
"Eh!?"
[If you're unlucky for some unfortunate event that you didn't get an immunized serum. You still tame spirits to be immune to viruses. How to tame it? You will read it in the instructions/announcement.
[For now, As a gift for my first contact with the humanity of this earthoran, all of you win two wishes where two-person can wish two wishes of anything they dezziiree by answering either of the two questions.]
Crocus, however, is not listening and looking at the system screen when he reads the part about the virus.
"My vision is slightly red. Could it be!?
"This is not a joke!"
Crocus felt an impending doom. An oppressive and overwhelming feeling; sucking the joy out of his life.
"I'm one of the unfortunate ones!? No No No!"
Looking at the slightly red moon sun, Crocus had his breath taken away from him. He thought he was still safe.
"No... I'm infected by their virus no... Why am I not immune? A prince not even giving an immunity serum? Do they plan to kill me!?"
His eyes were ragged as he stared at the 'All system' screen.
[The first question: Who are the three scariest and most dangerous angels of all?]
Crocus was a little surprised by the question.
"Angel? What? I thought they were friendly?
"But wait? Scary right?
"Who could it be? I have no idea."
[Congratulations: the answers were Seraph, Cherubs, and Ophanims. The winner is from the West communist United states of Taured.
[The winner wished for a power to pause anything he touches which is a little terrifying and a power to become immune to the virus to avoid being bitten and affected by any kind of virus.]
Crocus couldn't help but stare at the screen. He thought he was still on the earth.
"What the hell... Isn't that a little overpowered individual and dangerous? Who could it be? Plus the danger is angels? Aren't they supposed to be devils? And what is that land of the United States of Taured? What the hell is that? Did they change the United States of America? Why is it communist now?"
[The second question. According to most beliefs of humans, who is the first spiritual undead or Lich?]
Seeing this, Crocus couldn't help but feel so confused, so he guessed crazily.
"Is it Jes**? *Can't put the whole name as I am not a fan of mentioning every religion's Gods and beliefs*
"Sigh, I don't know what's going on or is this still earth in the future? or Earthoran? What happened!? Can someone please tell me about what is going on in this world!? And why am I wearing these clothes that I don't recognize!?"
[Congratulations: J**** is regarded by most Kartians as the Incarnation of God. The God with a benevolent heart and benevolent mind. He died and rose again not only so that humans could receive forgiveness, but even more so, He died and rose again so that we might have life. It is through His death and resurrection that we receive life.
"It is!? What the hell! I thought everything was in reverse. It is still only God J!? What is going on!? Why is it Kartians not Christians!? I refuse to believe all of this! I refuse!
"Wait, who won? --- --- --- me?"
[The winner wished to know about the world and the memories that he forgot! What a man! He wants to take part in the game of death without power!? Such a daredevil.]
"It's my wi-!"
Disbelief filled Crocus's head. Not waiting for him to react, a thought appeared and memories of something that he forgot were filling his head with information. Like a kaleidoscope of swirling information that seems that it will never end.
A little while later, the stunning Crocus was looking at the distance with cold eyes, and hidden inside was a burning desire.
"I never thought that such a place like this existed. An alternate universe is called Earth. A little opposite to my Earthoran world. However, I'm in my world. A lot of things are opposite like the Religion, Countries like the Communist should be eastern and Democratic are Western in that world is different.
"Right now, in this world, I'm in a place called the Phereon country. A communist country that is ruled by Luther Phereon the supreme leader. In my last life, this country should be in another name that I don't want to mention. It should be a democratic country, but this time it is ruled by communism.
"This place is a little more peaceful than that country of my last life that is full of terrorism, super corrupt government officials led by hypocrite liberal parties, drug-related police generals and so many more.
"I died on the earth and was reborn here. I am a prince or the son of the supreme leader. Isn't it ironic that I love to be a King of a monarchy, a president of democracy and now I have the chance to become a supreme leader?
"However, I don't have the talent of having a spirit. A spirit cannot strengthen us, but is essential as a symbol of being a supreme leader in the future. It's not that big of a problem for a prince like me, but with my ego and pride, I ran away wanting to prove that I can find my spirits.
"However, I tried to save a woman in Distress but was beaten up by those thugs instead. They took all my money and threw me here in this pit and fed me something distasteful to forget my current life memories in this world. My followers didn't even follow me!? They just let me go!? What a waste of a supreme leader's son! My title is useless."
Crocus had a bitter expression.
"Now that my head is empty after falling into this pit, my last living memory came back while forgetting my current life experience. Then the 'All system' combined it to make me remember everything! Thanks to the 'All system' I remember both the past life on earth and the current life that I forgot in this Planet Earthoran of mine.
"However, it's all useless.
"Coz here I am, a human who is about to turn into an undead. I should've wished for the 'ALL SYSTEM to be immune to the virus, but well...
"There's nothing I could do..."
Crocus felt his feet had a strong, strenuous effort to stand up. His back felt heavy and his mind was turning hazy. Suddenly, his eyes widened.
"What's going on!? Am I going to turn into a zombie? Why is it so fast!? Is this the end of me? What about my dreams? What about everything that I wished to do? I want a chance! Someone, please give me a chance."
All is useless, and he knew that there's no such thing as a miracle. He felt like he can't control himself anymore as he was thinking numb.
He didn't know that the 'All system' screen was giving him a warning.
[Detected: Unknown, mysterious phenomenon... An unknown mysterious phenomenon... An unknown mysterious phenomenon...]
...
In a space full of stars... A giant eye opened.
"Hrmm"
It made a low, angry grunt for a second.
"Jwndhauxbs! Ywuksuyehs."
The giant closed its eyes again and disappeared into the starry sky.
