As Rael and his companions waited for the countdown to reach zero, a sense of anticipation hung in the air. The group had faced numerous challenges and adversaries, and Rael's newfound strength and equipment gave them hope for what lay ahead in this post-apocalyptic world.
Two minutes later, the countdown reached zero, and a bright light enveloped Rael. It was a moment of transformation, a very important point in his journey. When the light faded, Rael felt different, empowered by a unique skill that had been granted to him.
[Congratulations! You have completed the Main Quest: Survival!]
[Calculating Reward]: Based on Rael Hamartia's performance of killing both enemies (zombies, mutants) and allies (humans), clearing an area, defeating a Boss Level Mutant...
[Reward]: 100,000 Experience Points received + 10 Attribute Points.
(Congratulations! You leveled up!)
'Oh, this much experience, does it mean...?!' Rael's pupils constricted to pin-sized needles, seeing the insane amount of experience and attributes he received out of nowhere.
[Unique Skill]: War Maniac #$#$$#$$#$#
'Finally, it's here!' Eyes blazing with expectations, Rael was curious to see what his Unique Skill could do, but before that, something strange happened...
(Error #$#$#$ is infiltrating the System)
(War Maniac Unique Skill deleted)
(Trying to recover data by using #$#$$#$ is impossible)
[Unique Skill]: Corruption (Passive) - Grants the ability to corrode mana; this skill was given by #$#$#$#$#$#$#$ for Rael Hamartia.
"What the heck?!" Seeing Rael suddenly lose his composure and curse out loud, Maria and the others quickly glanced at him; seeing that he didn't pay them any attention, they were afraid of asking what happened and chose to remain silent.
'What just happened? The System was ready to give me a Unique Skill, but it was suddenly changed to something else? Is this Watcher's doing?'

Having read all the text before his eyes, "stunned" wasn't enough to describe Rael's state right now.
'This is crazy... Insane...'
How could something like this happen? Rael saw that this class was personally selected for him; as the System told him 'tailor-made' to perfectly suit his style and personality.
Not thinking about which class to choose any longer, Rael directly selected 'Chaos Adept'.
(Ding! Congratulations for changing your class to 'Chaos Adept')

[Next Class Evolution Available at Level 50/B-]
Rael has successfully changed his class to 'Chaos Adept,' and he was now ready to embrace his new abilities and powers.
(Ding! Detected that host Rael Hamartia is now the possessor of the Unique Class - Chaos Adept)
(Identifying an unfamiliar Bloodline...)
(Proceeding to fuse with host's weak 'Human' Bloodline...)
(Ding! Because it was detected that every survivor's life was out of danger and the rewarding process was over, mana is starting to infiltrate the atmosphere...)
(Ding! Until mana completely takes over the planet, System's hosts will be moved to a special place)
(Ding! The Apocalypse Games began; brace yourselves!)
"What's happening?!" Evan suddenly screamed out of nowhere.
"What's this?" Even Sofia asked when she saw that her arm was starting to transform into motes of light.
The others were also afraid of whatever took place. But they quickly made a connection since the System mentioned that everyone would be moved to another place until mana completely infiltrated Earth.
Only Rael remained completely calm, even when the others were screaming his name.
It wasn't that he didn't want to answer, but he couldn't. This was because he just received another system notification.
(Ding! Lower Chaotic Bloodline begins to fuse with host's previous 'Human' Bloodline)
Suddenly, Rael's senses were overtaken by a pain he never felt before; it was completely different from everything he thought was possible.
It was like someone slowly cut his entire body with tens of thousands of knives. Imagine being stabbed in multiple places in your body at the same time; before repeating this process over and over.
He couldn't even scream from the pain he felt and instantly lost his consciousness.
(Ding! Lower Chaotic Bloodline successfully integrated into host's body!)
(Proceeds to recalculate level and stats...)
(Ding! The transfer process began; humans of planet Earth will be moved to the Apocalypse Games World - Ceria)
Without being aware of the place he was thrown into, Rael's body and the others completely disappeared from their previous place, and only some motes of light remained.
If someone were to look at Earth from outer space, they would be able to see a kind of blue miasma spreading through the planet.
