Chapter 5 - Apocalyptic Era and Creatures.

"The video continued. It has been found that not only do mythical creatures such as werewolves, vampires, and zombies exist.

Even other strange creatures exist on Earth, and they are able to become stronger by consuming the core possessed by the creature that one had killed.

So, without a doubt, every creature will go on a killing spree, so I will advise everyone to be careful wherever you are.

Make sure you keep yourself safe from harm's way, or better still, be strong enough to protect yourself, for the Apocalyptic Era isn't a wonderful era, but one that will surely be filled with sorrow and death tolls.

And it has been found out that the stronger the creature, the more strength to be gained from the consumption of such a core.

And the most shocking news, without a doubt, everyone is entitled to a system. Yeah, you heard that right. Everyone is entitled and has a system.

At least, currently, it has been discovered that mythical creatures and humans have systems. But this system, as far as it is concerned, can be said to be a stats viewing system.

Since the sudden increase in the strength of the humans that we know of. And from the fact that we could also get stronger, some say the world as we know it is trying to balance the equation of the world.

Giving us a chance to become the predator instead of being the prey. And that chance is the system. Everyone has his or her own system. The system can help one to view your state and physical attributes.

It can help you to keep track of your progress. And not only that, another shocking news and information had been confirmed and found out in only 19 hours or so that the era, which is deemed as the Apocalyptic Era, had started.

So right now, 19 hours into the Apocalyptic Era, it is known that some special creatures give some kind of benefits.

And currently, we have three humans who are currently at level 10, the highest level as of the current moment, well according to what we have seen for now.

But there is no doubt that there would be more creatures far stronger than that, suddenly appearing on Earth at one point in time.

Ones that are strong enough to put mankind in danger of perishment.

So I hope everyone can stop being a weakling and man up to face these strange creatures.

We should be courageous and old enough to face these creatures; we shouldn't be scared. For this is our only chance of survival, our only shot at survival. As for when they are going to appear on earth, no one really knows.

All that is asked of everyone is to try to survive and make their way to New York City if possible. You can also make it to England, for that is where the strongest humans reside.

It is said that the people of New York City are the first to find out about the various features of the system.

And according to them, more functions have not been discovered or found out. And another one of the most important news has been found out that upon reaching level 10, the highest as of the present, you would be able to gain an additional point, which you could add depending on the status given or shown by the core.

The reporter explained with a great, fluent tone and detailed description.

I see, so this is the difference between my system and theirs.

I can gain an additional point of an attribute upon every core consumed. But they only get theirs at the 10th level. No wonder the system was filled with coldness. So, it felt like I wasn't worthy of it.

As I was filled with various thoughts, my thoughts were broken by the voice, or to be more exact, the sudden words of the reporter.

Breaking News: It has just been confirmed and verified that gaining points isn't fixed and only depends on luck. A 20-year-old man who had just arrived at level 9 was able to get an attribute point. All in all, it has been discovered that the gaining of additional points all depends on your luck.

So the system isn't even special. It seems I thought too much. If there was really such a system among the other systems, why would I be the one to get such a system? I can't be that special, right? And if I was indeed given such a system, then the only thing that implied was that there was a kind of hidden hand of fate working behind the scenes.

So it seems that I wasn't the only one who was bold enough to consume the core. I thought as I realized that I shouldn't be complacent just because of some weird actions performed by me.

Always remember that there are people that are better than you. And I am but just an average youth who will do everything in his power to survive.

Removing the various thoughts from my mind, I listened to the reporter's words, or more accurately, to be said, information.

We haven't been able to find anything else as for now, but do be careful of a creature known as Shadow Spectres.

As all we currently know about them is also the most dangerous ability. They can phase through walls, and not only that, they are able to go into stealth mode. So if you are one of the people who thought that you could escape from the hunt of the Apocalyptic creatures by locking yourself in the rooms, then without a doubt you are right to a large extent.

But do note, no matter how vigilant you are, it is very, very hard to be able to notice the arrival or presence of a Shadow Spectre unless the creature wants you to know of its presence, and they aren't without intelligence.

They are deemed as intelligent creatures, unlike zombies and grotesque. But it has been found out that the Shadow Spectres are quite arrogant and cocky. So if you meet one, while you had a high chance of survival, you also had less than a 1% chance of survival. The reporter said solemnly.

Even the level 10 humans have only just found out about this weird creature of darkness of the Apocalyptic Era. Hearing this, my heart started throbbing greatly. My heart almost removed out of my body; it felt as though my heart was about to come out of my body.

I couldn't help but curse, just as I had expected. I murmured.

I already had this thought that such a creature might and would surely exist, but my emotions and state of mind would never want me to believe such a thing. And this wasn't the case for only me; it existed in almost all humans if not all.

Every human, when faced with a difficult choice, will always hope for the possibility of an easy path, even when they know that such a situation or chance was almost impossible to find or experience. But this wasn't without its advantage.

The advantage is that with such a way of thinking, humans would be able to calm themselves. They would be able to stop agitations; they would be able to stop themselves from having various dangerous or agitating thoughts. They wouldn't be filled with a sense of insecurity.

But was such a way of thinking really the best way of thinking in such a world? In such a familiar yet strange world. In the apocalyptic era, having such a way of thinking would, without a doubt, lead to death, and I was currently facing such a situation.

I was facing death, right now, without me even knowing. Looking through the white part of the computer, I saw...
