So even though my system says that I'm likely to die I myself don't want to die so what can I do about it? I called out to my system again to see my stats "system status?"

stat points? do I use them for something? maybe I can add them to these numbers? system add one point to strength. As soon as I said that I immediately felt something burning through my body apparently burning through the fat in my body and using the burned fat to help with increasing my strength but no one told me it would be so painful. but I could immediately feel the difference in my strength now compared to before. I decided to put one point into everything that was still at a four into a five just to have them all even, and then I would put the remaining half into vitality and dexterity so that I could run away if i needed to and have more health to survive. I checked my stats once more to see where everything was at feeling a bit sore everywhere but also more healthy than before. "system status"

great at least it doesn't say I'm very likely to die anymore but really? very likely to run away? at least say I have a chance to survive a fight. well for now I'll take what I can get. for now I wanted to talk with one of the few people around me and ask a couple of questions, such as if they had any idea what this system meant, what these different things like job and title meant, and what ability and fortitude meant. Once I made it over to the closest person to me before I even got a chance to say anything, she immediately jumped on top of me and began trying to kill me as if she had no other thought in her mind than the death of me and in the face of death once again all i could think of was my best friend as she was coming at my trying to claw at my throat and as if the devil himself was calling to me he said "you have power so use it" and then i felt a sudden rush come from all over my body to my hands as electricity shot from my hands into this woman causing her nervous system to go haywire and have her spasm and twitch on the ground until I grabbed a rock roughly the size of my head before I smashed it against hers before I saw a notification that only confirmed my suspicions. Level up. Level up. Shaking I barely said "S-s-system s-s-status"

I was right killing people is what made your "level" increase and it seems like each level gave you 4 stat points. I didn't know how to feel about this, on one hand i felt disgusted with myself because I had a thought of "so if I kill more people my level increases and I can get stronger." But a much more reasonable and sane part of my mind said "What the fuck, why is this happening? why - does that mean this is what Alex saw? he just saw us as experience points as he murdered everyone?" was this all just a sick game to him? I now had more questions than answers and it just left my mind spinning but not before I realized that I had a few pairs of eyes on me. So I did the only thing I could think of. I ran, ran like my life depended on it. Damn it, I hate it when the system is right.
