" Is this really going to happen. " I said to myself in my head.
Arianna still hanging on my arm.. I saw the fear in her eyes as well in the eyes of others.. shaking hands, sweat on their foreheads.. if this really happens I pray to be in the remaining 10% although if the world becomes really chaotic, Is it worth staying and surviving.. not the right to say that, life is precious, I want to stay with them, those who are the most valuable to me in the world, I also pray for them that they are in the remaining 10% if indeed this happens..
" 4.. "
" 3.. "
" 2.. "
" 1.. "
" Nothing happened ? " Paco says happily.
" Whew it was apparently just a jok.. " I didn’t have time to finish my sentence when suddenly an information screen appeared before me as if it was magic.

All of a sudden my vision went black, as if I had lost my sight.. it lasted for 30 seconds, the longest 30 seconds of my life..
In a trembling voice ..
" I hope to be part of the remaining 10% and that my friends will be as well.. I think that if one of us does not come back.. I would no longer have the strength to move forward..
Congratulations you have been selected to survive in this new world, please wait for the arrival of the other players before receiving more information.
"Selected ? So I’m part of the other 10%." A feeling of joy crossed my heart, but it quickly went away when I looked around me.. Do you remember the world we used to live in? glass skyscrapers, beautiful parks and lakes, a blue sky with sometimes white cotton-colored clouds, a blazing sun of mile fires.. You remember ? Well now.. There is nothing left of all this, not even 2 minutes ago I was in a nice room and suddenly I find myself in a.. how to say.. open room, the ceiling has disappeared, the 4 walls half destroyed, The building was half destroyed, there was only rooms like the one I was in now, and out there ? Well.. a city destroyed as if it were a battlefield.. a real postapocalyptic city..
I am completely shocked, the world change in 2 minutes. How could this famous person do that ? It is completely insane..
5 seconds after realizing that this world was destroyed, Arianna and the others appeared as if it was magic..
" Fortunately you are all here.. " my hands were shaking, i was reassure and at the same time my heart were full of fear.. I took them in my arms and a tear of joy flowed down my cheek.
Not leaving time for others to react, another message appeared..
You’re all here, let’s start..
" Let’s start what ? It’s the end, not the beginning.. !! "
I am a system created by the ultimate ruler, I will accompany you on your journey, your insignificant human growth towards a supreme being exceeding the physical and mental laws you know. As you may already know 90% of you have become zombies.. So congratulations to you for being in the remaining 10% :).. Let’s take this system the same as a video game system you will have access to classes with different skills, you will discover them by yourself, a status screen that you can use at any time it will be enough to say " screen status " in your head to have access, This status screen will have several features that you will also discover by yourself, zombies will not be the only danger you will encounter, the world will evolve and monsters too, only the bravest will be able to survive in this new world.
Love what you're reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on.
The status screen as well as everything else related is blocked for now, you will first have to kill a zombie alone, but don’t worry I’m not a sadistic person I will give you something to defend yourself to avoid dying foolishly.
On this dear insects, let's begin the survival game!
Just after this message a small wooden dagger appeared in my hand and one in my friend's hand also.
" This is really happening.. " Arianna said in tears.. " What will we become.. look out, the city is destroyed there remains only ruins.. what will our parents become ? Are they alive too ? "
" This is only a nightmare.. I’m going to wake up and everything will be okay, I’ll go back to class, but at least it won’t be hell any more than here.. " Says Paco.
" What does all this mean.. a system with classes ? A sudden appearance in a ruined world ? and a dagger out of nowhere all at once ? Zombies ? It’s exactly like the lights novels I read except that the.. well everything is real.. " Brendon in a shocked tone and shaking legs..
" Let’s look at the bright side of things for the moment, we are all together, we will look for your families later, first of all we must find a shelter and find food is the most important.. we must also get access to this famous system, we need more information, and I believe this system can help us understand it better in this new world. "
" You’re right, Hector, let’s first look for food and then find shelter to settle down and think calmly about the situation, we’re all shocked by what’s happening.. we can't think rationally. " said Cassandra with a confident tone.
" Let’s go to the supermarket and find some food, as for the shelter, I’m afraid everything is destroyed.. maybe there are still buildings almost intact because of this famous change. "
" Well, we follow you Brendon. "
We came out of the room and saw a boy who was living in the building, he was sitting on the ground, his head between his legs, crying until we saw a puddle of water on the ground.
" Should we go talk and help him ? "
" No, let’s leave him, we need to hurry to find food before there is nothing left, remember we are still 700 million, you saw what the city looked like last night when the apocalypse had not yet begun.. Humans are stingy and will not hesitate to take everything, the rich as well as the people in power will feel superior and think that their life is worth more than ours.. I will say that only once so remember well, prefer your life rather than foolishly losing it for a small ration. " I said, in a dignified tone
Nobody replied but they noded at me.
Problem.. As if there were already not enough.. the staircase that leads to the ground floor is destroyed.. how to go down knowing that the height between the ground and the first floor is about 6 meters, I don’t care who you are, a six meter fall it’s a fractured legs at the very least..
Arianna looking at me " What do we do now ? Even in a devastated world luck does not smile at us.. "
" Just take the fire escape on the other side of the building. "
" Well think Paco. "
On the way out the same boy was still sitting on the floor, poor guy..
on the way out..
" Fuck come on, even here the way is destroyed.. "
" It’s destroyed but partially I think it’s possible to do it by jumping, a jump of only 3 meters, this time the ground is closer "
" Yeah, it must be doable without hurting, Brendon and I will jump first so we can catch you, Paco will jump last and stand guard in case there’s a problem. "
The others nodded. Brendon jumped first.. but when he landed his ankle turn and fell to the ground screaming with pain..
" Brendon !!! are you alright ??? "
" No, I think I twisted my ankle.. " he had a tear in the corner of his eye.
A little reluctant before jumping in view of what just happened but being the only way out of the building.. I took my courage with two hands and I jumped, no problem on my side, no injury but a little bad when landing, nothing serious in 5 minutes It will not hurt anymore. At the turn of Arianna, she let herself slip, she sprang her back on the ground of the 1st floor.. But I was able to catch her without any other problems, she went to see Brendon while I was busy catching the others. Priame threw herself into my arms without problem, Cassandra like a goddess landed in my arms looking at me she was blushing and put a great smile on her face and gave me a kiss on the cheek, obviously I also blushed, But I wasn’t wasting my time, so I had to refocus and catch out Paco to avoid any unnecessary, stupid injuries. Paco didn’t want to jump, too afraid to hurt himself, he stayed 5 minutes with the muscles tetanised despite our encouragement and the foreplay put by Brendon, he ended up jumping and.. nothing, everything went well.
Hell of a start, luck is bad for us today.. this new world, then Brendon twisted his ankle.. Brendon hangs on Paco’s shoulders and mine to keep moving because we can't see him jumping badly on one leg while a danger may arise at any moment.
Arrived in the street we are still shocked by this sudden change, we’d seen it outside, but up close, it’s even scarier... destroyed buildings and flora spread out on the roads and walls as if we’d let it grow for hundreds of years the street looked like between a battlefield and a jungle, so let's juste call it "Junglefield" yep sound creapy enough for a postapocalyptic world, i have even time To joke around even in thoose circumstances...
Even after having lived for 5 years in Paris, nothing was recognizable then to find the supermarket.. well let's not talk about bad luck things.. We stop to look where we are.
" Go left now and we’ll get to the supermarket. "
" What are you talking about Cassandra the supermarket is on the left "
" You say wrong the supermarket is right in front... "
Cassandra and Paco turned around and glanced at me.. and that’s how a little mess broke out.
" Stop come on don't you see it's already a huge mess outside and now you make a mess betwen us ? Let's just go forward i think Hector is right about the way. " Brendon said in an aggressive tone.
" You’re right, let’s go straight ahead but I always support my idea of going left.. if there is a problem you will bear the consequences.. "
" Okay, baby Paco, we’re gonna take good care of you now walk and calm down. "
Well Brendon was really angry at us so we just keep walking, on the way all we met were a few rats, a snake.. we ran away in fear and crows, it’s a dead city.. we thought at least we’d meet a few people but nothing, nothing at all apart from the wild, Strange also that we didn’t meet famous zombies.. it is a good news I want to say, I prefer to have a deserted city and not meet people it is more reassuring but just when I thought it in the street opposite.. We could see a group of about 50 zombies.. They’re shitty.. you could see the bones of some zombies, some crawling on the ground because they had no legs but all looked like walking corpses, white skin, bright red eyes, Slow and torn clothes.. I don’t know if they’re blind at least they didn’t see us when we were a hundred meter away from them.
Everyone was scared, we immediately turned around but when we turned around 3 zombies were blocking the road, only 20 meters from us, they were heading towards us, I guess they spotted us.
" Take out your wooden daggers, fighting them is our only solution now, we are surrounded.. "
" Fight them Hector ? Don’t tell bad thing we can enter a building hide and wait for them to pass.. " Arianna looking at me with fear in her eyes.
" You heared the system, the only way forward now is to get this famous system to learn more about the so-called " ultimate ruler " so no choice, hide is not a possibility. "
I took out my wooden dagger and took it with unwavering courage.......
