This was my first time seeing the creeper's body up close, they had skinny long legs and arms, sharp long nails, and large leathery wings. They were also all looking pale, just like I was.
The large room was too small to accommodate them all, so they began pouring into the hallway like a zombie horde. Though I was in room with them, none of them came too close to me.
When the creeper hordes were done pouring out, they all looked at me in fear, awaiting my orders.
To be be sincere... I was shivering a little. What if something were to go wrong, and they all start tearing me apart?
"Devour anything infected on this ship!" I ordered.
And they instantly began pouring out into the hallways and stairs, in search of the unlucky prey.
I was now alone in the room, and the metallic scent of blood had began hitting my nose, as it was now sensitive to such. I could even track down Lilith if I wanted, with her scent signature.
"What do I do now?" I mumbled, and walked out of the broken room.
[Go to the control room, and make an introduction.]
"I'm starting to like you" I said with a smile, and began heading up a staircase.
I had no idea where the control room was, but I knew it would be somewhere on the top floors.
It was really tiring to climb the stairs, and I couldn't fly with my new wings, because there wasn't even enough spacing in the staircase to fully spread them.
I finally made it to the control room after stepping over multiple dead bodies strewn all over the place, and it was devoid of life, so I walked up to the controls and picked up a device which looked like an outdated walky-talky.
As I was about to talk into it, a loud horn suddenly sounded from seemingly everywhere, and my hybrid form got eliminated instantly. I was shocked and didn't understand what had happened.
"What's going on?" I asked myself in confusion.
[The game has to be fair for everyone... So they cut everyone's abilities, because of you.]
"W-what? That's even more unfair" I exclaimed with a grim expression.
I would be as good as dead without my abilities.
[You know what's more unfair? Is that all the infected players are running over here right now.]
"Shit..!" I screamed out and quickly ran out of the control room, into a hallway.
But unluckily for me, the close ones were already waiting outside for me, so I ran back into the control room and slammed shut it's large steel door, tilting it's wheel to lock it.
*Bang*
They began banging on the other side of the steel door violently, but the steel door looked like it could hold, so I relaxed a bit, and tiredly sat on the captain's chair.
"I could really use some company right now, you know?' I said to the system.
[I have nothing to say to you, except... Try to survive till the end.]
"It's not like I'll be dead forever" I muttered to myself.
[When I said they cut everyone's abilities, I also meant the ability they gave you pests to reincarnate.]
"You can't be serious...!!" I sprang up from the captain's chair.
[Why would I be joking with you? It'll be an understatement to say 'Shit's gonna go down real bad for you guys'.]
"Woah!!... It'll also be understatement to say I'm loving your style. Damn, when can we meet?" I asked while grinning from ear to ear.
Her vulgar language was really getting me.
[Can you be serious for once?]
"Not if you keep making me fall for you" I replied, still with my wide grin.
[That's it, I'm done with you.]
"I'm sorry, you can't actually do this to me, what can I do without you?" I voiced out with an apologetic tone.
[You have been unmarked by a spectator.]
My jaw instantly dropped, the only spectator that marked me was the one I banged, and for her to unmark me, that means she was listening to my conversation with her sister all along.
Why the f*ck do I even feel like I cheated, it's not like we had anything serious.
[Your system will be shut down in Five...]
[Four...]
"I'm sorry, I promise to never talk to your sister again!!" I screamed out in panic and fell on my knees.
[Three...]
[Two...]
"If you shut me out then we're done for good!!" I screamed out my last line of defence.
[Your system have been forced shut down.]
I suddenly felt my heart aching, like my fiance had broke up with me on our wedding day.
What am I with no ability, equipment, or system. I'm a loser.
[You have obtained the title 'Loser'.]
"You can say that again..." I muttered sadly to myself.
Two goddess had just broke up with me on the same day, and they were both sisters. If I were to survive and make it back to earth, I'd probably write a book about my life, and I bet it would sell millions.
*Boom*
A loud explosion suddenly erupted from the other side of the steel door, and the entire ship shook violently. But what surprised me most was that the steel door didn't break down, and only vibrated fiercely.
"Please open the door!! whoever is inside!! please help us!!" I heard screams coming from outside.
"Is that a creeper trying to lure me out?" I asked no one in particular, and sprang to my feet.
'No, they're your kind, my lord' I suddenly heard the creeper queen voice in my head.
"Woah, you keep surprising me...!" I exclaimed in excitement, "why were you silent all this while?" I asked curiously.
'I was taking care of someone, my lord' The creeper queen replied.
"Okayyy, I don't think I'd want to know the details" I replied with an awkward chuckle.
"Please help us!! They're healing rapidly!!" The screams from outside came again.
I quickly ran up to the steel door, and tilted it's wheel to unlock it. I wasn't scared of something going wrong, because the creeper queen would never let me die on her watch.
Six people quickly ran inside the moment I opened the steel door, then I slammed it shut and tilted it's wheel to lock it back. And when I turned around to see my new inmates, the first thing I saw was a wide barrel to my face.
