Zeke was suddenly woken up by the sound of multiple horns outside.
Groggily waking up, he slowly got up and went to his window to see what was going on.
"Holy shit!"
What he saw shocked him.
There were smoke everywhere and the whole street was under chaos.
"Are those… ZOMBIES?!" Zeke was shocked to the core by what he was seeing.
He saw people being eaten by zombies.
Zeke lived in a condo that was a few stories high and he lived on the top floor.
He saw the freeway was full of cars, and traffic wasn't moving at all.
The situation was the same everywhere, zombies were going around eating humans.
Zeke watched as the zombie of what used to be a very muscular man, forcefully break the car window and eat the elderly man inside.
"Holy fuck holy fuck holy fuck!"
Zeke sat on the ground and his hands on his head.
He broke down in panic.
"W-what the fuck do I do?!"
A few minutes later, Zeke have calmed down a little.
"There's a zombie outbreak going on, what's the future gonna be like? Will I make it out alive?!"
Slowly, his through process went normal.
He took multiple deep breaths.
"Okay, first I need to figure out how much food and water I have." Zeke went to his fridge first and found that it was almost empty aside from a few eggs and a half a gallon of milk.
There was also his left over of Cane's chicken from last night.
He went to his pantry and was relived to see many stacks of instant ramen and all sorts of spicy Korean noodles and bottled water.
"Thankfully I always buy in bulk in order to save money!"
The food he had was enough to last him for 2 weeks, almost month if he only ate twice a day.
Thankfully, his door had built in locks that were super strong.
All he had to do was take out a small metal piece that covered a hole on the floor next to the bottom of the door.
He then inserted a rectangular metal piece inside it, half of it sticking out which would keep the door from opening at all.
"Phew! Hopefully that's enough for now!"
Zeke then began calling all of his friends. None of them answered.
Zeke began feeling sorrowful, not knowing the state that his friends were in.
Fortunately, he had no other family to worry about. He was an only child and his parents died in a car accident many years ago.
Now at 19 years old, he lived alone with millions of dollars left from his parent's inheritance.
Zeke laid down on his couch, trying hard to accept the situation.
All of a sudden, something weird appeared in front of him.
[The apocalypse has begun! A human god saw the status of this world and felt sorry for abandoning their own people. Thankfully, he has left a way out, which is me! I am the almighty system! You have been chosen to save the world! Please review the manual for more information!]
"What the fuck? Am I hallucinating now?" Zeke tried touching the panel.
To his surprise, the panel felt solid.
The panel was basically like a tablet.
He tapped around and explored it.
It had many things to offer such as status, inventory, a shop, and even a lottery.
He then read all of the information in it.
[Status - Check your status, level, skills, etc]
[Inventory - Store anything within your storage dimension! There is no limit, host must be touching the item]
[Shop - Buy anything the universe has to offer as long as you have enough points!]
[Lottery - Win extraordinary prizes! Lottery chances are given once a month for free. You can also gain more chances by completing missions!]
[Daily rewards - You can claim daily rewards that will aid you in your journey!]
[You can unlock more features as you level up! You can also find hidden features!]
Zeke entered his storage dimension.
His consciousness was suddenly sky pulled into space.
Anything he stores inside will just be floating around in his empty space, there is also no time inside so anything stored will retain its status.
"Interesting! Hmm, I can store all of my necessities in the storage. Fuck it! Just store everything I own."
You never know when you might need an entire couch to sit on.
What if he felt tired in the middle of nowhere, he would need a nice and comfortable bed!
He then checked out the shop next.
He saw that he currently had 0 points.
"I could buy all sorts of things! I could even buy humans and they only cost 100 points! That's crazy."
"Hmm? Puppets?"
[Human puppets - Just like zombies, doesn't need to any sustenance to survive. Looks just like humans but have low intelligence. Able to upgrade! 50 points!]
"Hmm it's good to have manpower."
Pulling up the lottery, he used his chance of the month.
"Please give me something good!"
[Congratulations! You have won 1,000,000 points!]
"HOLY SHIT!" Zeke stood up in shock.
"Buy! Buy! Buy!"
Zeke immediately bought 10 of the puppets which cost him 500 points.
He then bought each of them a metal spear as well as a book called weapon mastery.
He preferred to use cold weapons as to not attract zombies.
The book was sold in different levels ranging from beginner to master.
He directly bought the master level which cost 10,000 each and one for himself as well.
"Woah! I feel as though I've wielded this spear since the day I was born!"
Zeke skillfully spun the spear around like a master. His precision was also accurate, too accurate in fact. He pierced a fly like it was nothing.
His speed at wielding the weapon also exceeded human limits.
The mastery book itself indirectly upgraded his physique. In order to wield weapons like a master, one must have enough strength.
Zeke took off his clothes and looked at himself in the mirror, his scrawny body was now on par with those athletes.
"Too awesome!"
"Can't I just buy the antivirus?"
Zeke immediately looked for it in the shop!
[Antivirus - Immunization against various virus tier 1-10. Must buy the right tier for the right virus.]
"System what tier virus is this outbreak??" Zeke asked.
[To answer host's question, it is a tier 2 virus! Your current world isn't advanced enough to the create a cure for a tier 2 virus. 25-? Points]
"Then it's good thing I have you!"
He bought one for himself for now for 250 points.
Looking at the perfect pill on his hand, he swallowed it without hesitation.
He then bought an all black soldier uniform from helmets down to boots along with a handgun for each of them and himself just in case.
Of course he couldn't forget about the communication devices for everyone.
Alright! I'm all ready in case of anything.
He then put back on his pajamas and laid on the couch.
He turned on his tv to watch the news.
Thankfully, the country hasn't fallen yet thanks to its powerful military force.
According to the news, the government has already begun taking action, creating safe zones in each major city.
"Except that I live on an island…"
Thankfully this island was pretty much a military island. With all branches of the military having a base here. This island was also used as a strategic position during the past wars.
Unfortunately, this island is also a world class tourism spot.
"Sigh… I wonder if this is a blessing or a curse…"
"The whole island has a population of over 1,250,000 and that doesn't include the tourists as well.
Fortunately, this island has all of the infrastructure needed after all, there is a major city here as well."
"With the power of the system, I want to take over the entire island as well as the surrounding islands. This is my chance to create my own invincible force!"
