"H-Hello, S-son."
That same voice that wakes me up every morning, the one who was with me for 19 years, taking care of me at every step of my life.
My Mom!
Hearing her voice through the phone, lifted a huge load of worry from my shoulder.
I kept my breathing steady so I would not cry, I was just a normal 19-year few moments ago, and it's still too much for me.
When reading Novel/Manga I would never notice the feeling of people inside of them.
Now I know what this feeling is, it's feel like shit.
A feeling of shit that no matter what I would do not go away from me.
Anyway, I better answer her.
"H-Hey, Mom. Are you alright? Dad is with you, right? Nothing happens to him, right?"
I asked her, even though I try to control my breathing it's normally impossible for me to do so.
"He is fine and he is with me right now, what? Do you want to with Avi? I'm giving the phone to your dad, Avi."
Thank god, both of them are safe.
"Avi, are you alright son? Just tell me your location and I'll come and get you." The usual roughness in his voice was gone, replaced by only worry for me.
"Dad, I'm in Marinlines, Near the Marin Drive beach and you don't have to come and get me, there is all sort of monster roaming around the streets."
Just the fact he said he would come for me, knowing that he could die on the way made me happy and worried at the same time.
"B-but Avi-"
"Dad there is not much time, if I'm right in a few minutes the network will stop working, so listen to me carefully."
I stopped my dad from saying anything, That goblin said he would come in 10 minutes. Two minutes already passed, and time was running out of me."
"Dad, which class card you and mom choose?"
"Son, you know that we old people are way behind the time, so could you please say in simple terms?"
How could I have forgotten that? Mom and Dad had never played any games in their life, So Obviously they didn't know what I was talking about.
So, what should I do?... Ah, I know.
"Dad, you must have seen the stars behind the cards you picked right?"
"Ah. yeah, know that you mentioned it. There was indeed a star behind the card I and you pick up."
"Good, tell me how many stars are on your card and mom's card."
"Ah, well on mine is 3 stars and on your mom's card is 4 stars."
I was shocked when I heard Mom had four stars, from one to five, one is the lowest star, while five is the highest star. She is incredibly lucky to be able to get four stars.
"OK, if you want to check about your class and your power just say the status window. And a holographic screen will appear in front of you there you can check all about your card class."
"I understand, So-"
"Hello?" "Hello?"
I look at my phone and see that network is gone.
"f#ck"
Well, I supposed I had to tell them important things they should be fine...right?
I look back at my phone and see that six minutes had been passed. I stored my phone in my jeans and started to go back to the others.
'with my Necromance unique class, I can survive this.' I thought so.
***
"So you able to contact with your dad?" I asked Aina as soon I reached there, Aina turned toward me and there was a big smile on her face.
'...Cute.'
This is not the time for that Avi, we are in a very important situation you must get hold of yourself.
"yes, I talk to him and he is fine."
"Good, now let's check the situation around us. Let's all gather together."
Sushil Rajkumar, Sandeep Jadhav, Mark and Gibson started to walk toward me.
The survivors gathered at my words. The first one to reach out a hand was Sushil.
"Hello, my name is Sushil."
"My Name is Avi," I said as I shook hands, one by one I shook hands with all of them but when I shook hands with Sandeep, I got a weird feeling in my gut.
"We want to survive this new earth we must stay together with each other and kill all of the monsters outside."
I said to all of them. they also knew that what I was saying was true so they just nodded at my words.
"..."
I continue, after a brief pause.
"I think you should've all roughly noticed the situation. A system window. A game-like interface. Is there anyone who still hasn't caught onto the facts?"
Indeed, no one raised their hand. India has always been known for its culture and one of these cultures is a game. Due to the high penetration rate of smartphones, there wasn't one person who hadn't played an RPG game.
Even if they didn't play a game, they would've read a fantasy novel at least once.
Sushil sighed.
"This isn't a dream?"
"This is reality."
My stern answer caused Sushil's eyes to slightly change.
"It is good that you are certain. Then what do we do now? Avi, do you have any ideas?"
"We have to go."
I answered without hesitation.
"G-Go? Are you insane?"
"Avi, I don't think..."
This time, Aina joined it. It seemed everyone still hadn't woken up.
"Then how long we will stay here?"
My argument didn't make much sense. Outside was a heaven of monsters. But I knew. Right now, we have to get out of here.
I turned toward the rest of the survivors and asked
"Have you thought about your parents? Do you think your parents are safe in this mess?"
Sushil and Mark's expressions darkened at the word 'parents.'
I grasped Raju's shoulder, whose head was bowed. The first person to side with me was Aina.
"Let's Go. I will go out too."
"N-No! Didn't you hear what that thing said? Take a break here!
"Let's take a majority vote."
Aina raised her hand first, followed by me and Raju, sushi, Sandeep, and Mark.
"Shit, you all go by yourselves! I'm not going! I'm not going outside!"
Gibson said, looks like he wants to stay here rather than going outside.
"Look if you want to stay here you can, but I'm going outside my parents are still alive there in this broken world."
I said to Gibson and turned toward the rest of the survivors.
"Let's get out of here guys."
"B-but the door is not opening at all," Aina said, I also know that, because many people tried to open it before but could not do it.
"It's okay, I will take care of it," I said to Aina with a slight smile on my face.
But I know that I can do it.
'Add 10 additional attribute points to strength.' I said in my mind and I felt my body began to undergo a massive change.
I check my status window to see changes are true or not.

'Ha, so it's indeed work like a game.'
"Get away from guys," I said to the others. Since I didn't have any skill that could power up my physical strength, I had to invest all of my attribute points into strength.
"Haaap!"
My biceps swelled as I grabbed the door.
Dudududu.
There was a sound like a huge spring turning and the door started to move.
"What? This guy has real strength!"
"That's it! It is great!"
We're shocked at my sudden strength I was also quite shocked. I felt like I surpassed all the physical limits of humans.
"Come on, get off! And Sushil Carry the child on your back."
"I understand."
Now the iron door was almost broken. We can get out of here without any problem.
[...Ah, this is really. I knew this would happen. Didn't I say it earlier? I told you not to go anywhere.]
The Goblin seemed to be angry as it floated over Bridge.
"Wahh! I knew this would happen! I told you not to come out!"
Gibson wrapped a hand around his head like he thought it would explode.
[Sigh...it can't be helped. You are really lucky humans.]

Two system notifications sounded in my head.
The System window appears in front of me.
