It's been a week.
I guess that means this is real.
I never imagined I would be given the chance to start over. Before my life was turned upsidedown.
Looking out the window and gazing at the city far below me.
There are people driving in the streets. Shopping with their family and friends.
No one would believe that this lively city was about to be destroyed.
People will suffer.
Some will die, some will lose the person most precious to them, some will become monsters.
I can't enjoy this peace knowing the horrors I'll have to live through.
In this time I've stocked up on food and clothing. Weapons and games.
Anything I'll need to be safe.
I refuse to become the hero this time. All I want is to live comfortably. I want to rest.
[Ding~ Rest System Activated, Congratulations Host!]
Hearing a loud sound in my head I turn to look around only to see a transparent purple panel floating in front of me.

Huh?
Status?
I've never seen this before.
What does it mean Rest System?
And why do I seem to be just as strong as my previous life?
Even I can tell those numbers are way too high for a normal person.
No! It doesn't matter. Nothing will distract me from my goal.
At that moment the ground begins to shake violently.
I turn back to face the window and I watch as cracks in space appear and monsters flood the streets.
It takes a lot for me to stop myself from helping people as I watch them get torn apart by the creatures.
The people standing nearest the cracks are slowly changing. Thir bodies are expanding and their faces are disfigured. Horns, claws, fangs. They slowly becoming no different from the monsters.
I can't bring myself to look away. I have to see this. If I don't I know I won't be able to keep my promise to myself.
I have to remember just how dangerous they are.
I won't fight even if my instincts are screaming at me to help.
Remember what happened before, Lexi. Don't make the same mistake again.
…
3 days
It's been 3 days since the disaster started.
I haven't left my house.
I know I'll need to soon but my bed is just too comfortable.
I suddenly feel the building shake making my eyes snap open in alarm.
I leap from my bed and run to the window only to see a monster attacking the lower floors.
The building is going to collapse.
I have to get out of here.
I hurriedly run around the room tossing everything into my space.
I still have my powers luckily or I wouldn't be able to bring everything with me.
Having grabbed everything I dash out the front door and run down the stairs as fast as I can.
Damnit! I don't want to run! I'm too tired for this!
Gritting my teeth I hurl myself over the railing and my body falls quickly towards the ground.
The floor is near and I brace myself for impact.
Not that I really need too. My body can easily withstand the impact of falling 20 floors.
I land on the ground unharmed, leaving a small crater in the floor.
It's been a while since I've done that.
I don't stop for a moment as I make my way to the back door.
I had hoped to stay home a few more days but like everything else in my life my plan was ruined.
