My face could be seen in the darkened window of the carriage.
It was a face I had never seen before, despite looking into the mirror countless times in my life. I wiped at the blood on my cheeks. The blood on my face is the blood of the man I had just killed.
I just become a murmur but it doesn't matter to me, I have to do so to not let myself be killed.
I had something else on my mind, I wanted to know if my parents were safe or not. I tried to call on their phone but no one is answering to me.
'Please be safe Mom and Dad.'
Klik.
With the sudden movement of the train, it's breaks my thoughts.
the train started to move again. It made the familiar train noise.
Soon, light flooded in, and darkness was lifted from the windows. We had arrived at the surface ground section of Line 3 between Marin lines and Churchgate.
Outside the window, I could see the main drive beach. The dead bodies were everywhere, some people were running away from each other to save themselves.
I could see the dead bodies of people being eaten by goblin-like creatures as they tore their skin and ate the organs inside of them.
'Disgusting.'
'Ahh.'
Someone let out a moan. I turn to the survivor of the train, It was a moan which contained deep relief that they survived.
However, it didn't take long for the meaning of that moan to change. Ah, ah...
The landscape outside the window was no longer the Mumbai that they knew. Smoke and dust rose from the ruined city.
Like me, they could also see the corps of humans eaten by monsters. The Marin Drive beach itself was red with the bodies of soldiers, while among the fallen buildings, a monster was trampling on a K1 tank like it was a toy.
The subway stopped around halfway past the Marine line.
"Oh my god..."
Several survivors stood up and looked at the scene taking place outside. The ruined collapsed buildings. Monsters reminiscent of a giant snake were eating the wreckage of a fighter jet that had crashed into the Marin Drive beach.
"W-What the hell...!"
Like others, I also stood up. The snack-like creature destroyed anything that stood in his way.
My heart rate sped up as I saw this horrible monster. An unknown fear settled down in my heart. If that creature tries to attack the train we will be dead in a matter of seconds.
One of the creatures looked in this direction.
"U-Uwaaah! It is coming!"
People screamed with fright. I just clenched my bat in my hand very tightly, I knew that this would affect nothing to that monster but even so, I tried to be ready for anything.
But just as he was about to crash against the train it disappeared in the air.
I don't know what happened but I feel relieved that I'm not dead...yet.
"Avi, Are you okay?"
I looked up and saw Aina's face. Her shoulders were sagging. Blood covered her white blouse and there was a run in her stockings. There was no more of the Aina, liked, I knew. I held Aina's hand and said.
"I'm fine, just a little shaken up by all of this."
"Thank you for earlier Avi."
I belatedly thought back to the previous scene. I had thrown the net in Aina's direction.
"It's nothing to thank about Aina," I said to her. I just did what I had to do to save Aina, that's all.
[Wow, amazing. I can't believe that so many people have survived.]
A voice sounded above me, I raised my head and I saw a goblin wearing... a black suit, Hat, And sunglasses appear above me.
"Who are you?"
One of the survivors said to the goblin. Turning his head toward that man he said
[ Oh, Me? I'm here to watch over you and my name is Goblin Wise.]
Watch over us? What the hell did he mean by that?
"Can I ask you something?" the man asked question to the goblin.
[Hmm, what is it?]
"Is this a dream or something?" the man asked as he looked at dead people inside of the train, there was deep fear in his fear that maybe one day he would join the rest of them.
The Goblin looked at the man and suddenly laughed.
[HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA.]
His laugh is very scary, his sharp teeth reveal it as he keeps laughing, After laughing for a few seconds he stops and looks at the all people before him.
[Do you think this is all a dream? Even after seeing all of this.]
The goblin said as he pointed to the dead people before us.
After a few moments of silence, he spoke but this time there was no happy expression on his face.
[This isn't the 'reality' that you know. Do you understand? So everyone shut up and listen to me.]
After seeing that everyone understood what he said he spoke again.
[ Anyway, I'm here to give your reward.]
A system window opened in front of Avi.
[Choose a class card to obtain your
class.]
[You have 30 Seconds to choose your class.]
The world had been thrust into an unimaginable reality where decisions made in the next few moments would shape their destinies in ways they could hardly fathom.
Amidst the rising panic, people began frantically selecting their class cards, many of them doing so without much thought.
Voices filled the air, with some individuals exclaiming, "Hey, does anyone here play games, I got a 'Swordsman' class
is it good?" "Can anyone tell me, if 'Archer' is a good class?"
One card had the drawing of a fighter with a sword and a shield, another one with a wizard holding a cane, and another one with an archer holding an arrow. These three cards each had a star on the white background.
Another one had two stars on a green background, which looked like a priest in Avi's eyes. Was he a castle knight drawn on the card with three stars on the pink background?
Avi had read many novels that used warriors, archers, mages and so on but he did not want any of this class.
He is just a common person whose world become hell for him. Avi wanted a class that was easy for him and also a powerful one.
Avi could see that there were many class cards from one star to three stars, and there were some four-star cards but Avi ignored them too.
At that moment, Avi heard another notification inside of his head.
[You Have Gained The Interest of The God of The Underworld]
[The God of The Underworld, Offer you a unique class.]
Avi's eyes lit up at the name of a unique class. He did not know who is this god's underworld but if he could get something powerful from him that helped him to survive, then he would take it.
Ding!
[Unique Class:- Necromancer (★★★★★)]
With the black background, it had the drawing of a man in a white robe holding a long sickle.
Isn't Necromancer a wizard who controls skeletons or corpses in the fantasy world?
With uncontrollable excitement Avi take that card.
Ding!
[ You have chosen a unique Necromancer class.]
[Your first occupation selection window has now closed. Those who failed to choose one, please wait for the next chance.]
The card selection ended with that message, and all the messages disappeared.
