Ray stood there, his mind a whirlwind of thoughts, his newfound status screen lingering in his consciousness. The blue screen had disappeared as suddenly as it had appeared, leaving behind a sense of both excitement and foreboding.

After a moment of contemplation, he decided that it was time to act. He had no idea what was happening or why, but the message had made one thing clear – he needed to survive. The world around him seemed to have changed overnight, and he couldn't afford to remain passive.

His first thought was to secure supplies and some form of protection. With a determined stride, he left his dormitory, not knowing what he would encounter beyond its familiar confines.

As Ray ventured further into the University of Chicago's campus, he was met with an eerie silence. The once bustling academic institution now lay still and abandoned. The sky overhead seemed unnaturally dark, as if it were perpetually dusk when it was suppose to be noon.

Ray's thoughts were interrupted by a rustling sound coming from a nearby building. Cautiously, he approached, his heart pounding in his chest. Pushing open the door, he was met with a chilling sight – four skeletal figures shuffling aimlessly in the hallway.

These weren't ordinary skeletons. They were grotesque and menacing, their bony forms adorned with remnants of tattered clothing and glowing blue eyes that radiated malevolence.

Ray took a deep breath and calmed his racing heart. Surrendering to the situation, he let his instincts guide him. He observed the skeletons' movements, their slow and lumbering nature. He realized that he had the advantage in terms of agility and speed.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

With calculated precision, Ray made his move. He rushed towards the nearest skeleton, his fist connecting with its bony frame. With a mighty punch, he shattered its ribcage, sending bone fragments flying.

In a quick and fluid motion, Ray grabbed another skeleton and spun it around, using it as a makeshift weapon to knock down the third skeleton. The two of them crashed to the ground in a heap of bones.

With only one skeleton left standing, Ray seized the opportunity. He dashed toward it, landing a series of powerful blows. Punch after punch, he relentlessly attacked until the last remaining skeleton collapsed in a heap.

Now, only a sense of accomplishment filled the hallway. Ray had not only survived his first encounter with the bizarre creatures that now roamed the world but had also disposed of them with a combination of cunning and brute force.

As he caught his breath, a message appeared in his mind.
