"Mongo!! Wake up! HELLLPP!! AHHHHHH!!!"
"huh?"
Mongo woke up from a shout. He looked around and saw that he was in his bedroom like normal, so after hearing someone shout to him, he made his way out of the room.
Mongo walked around the house and found no one so he went to the kitchen and poured himself a massive bowl of cereal. He turned on the television while eating, and turned on a kids show which he greatly enjoyed.
Noises of crashing, explosions, and screaming were going on all around the house and it was very loud. Mongo did not like it.
"Turn down volume!" Mongo shouted in a deep voice into the air.
Mongo wanted to go and tell whoever was making the noise to turn down the volume, but he also wanted to finish his cereal. He decided to compromise and shoveled the rest of the cereal down his throat before going to yell angrily at whoever had their volume so loud.
Mongo forgot that he just walked around the house just minutes before when he woke up, so he did it again. Some parts of the house were better sound insulated, and he stopped hearing the noises, so he assumed they stopped.
Forgetting that he already ate, Mongo made his way back to the kitchen to pour himself another bowl of cereal, and went back to watching the tv show.
After being bothered by the noises again he then repeated the whole cycle 3 more times until there was no more cereal.
Since there was no more cereal mongo was sad, and he decided to look for his sister to tell her to go buy more cereal, but he could not find her, no matter how determined he was to.
He decided it was time to go outside to look for her. Sue usually went with him when he went outside, but Mongo was not scared without her. He is strong.
He stepped out the front door, and without looking around at his surroundings, Mongo shouted at the top of his lungs.
"SUEEEEEE!!! CEREAL!!"
After shouting, the noise quieted down for a moment, and Mongo looked around. He saw many crashed and flipped over cars, and bodies littering the streets of Pennsylvania but he did not see Sue.
Although Mongo was not supposed to go outside usually, he felt that this time it would be ok to wander around a little bit. He proceeded to walk down the steps of the front porch, and noticed something weird.
"Why sun gray??"
Mongo stared at the sun for a few moments wondering why it was a different color, until he suddenly felt a pain in his eyes and started tearing up.
"Mongo not a baby. Mongo no cry," he said to himself reassuringly. He decided wisely however that staring at the sun would not be a good idea this time.
Mongo continued to walk around and look for Sue, but after walking for 20 minutes, he still could not find her. He kept hearing little cackles on the sides of the road but he did not think too much about it.
After another 5 minutes of walking around, Mongo saw movement in his peripheral vision. He decided to ignore it and kept walking but the next moment he felt something hit his head.
"Owww! Who hit me?!?" Mongo proceded to swing his arms around wildly hoping to hit back whoever it was that hit him. After a moment his head stopped hurting and he looked around to see if he did any damage, but he could not see anyone near him.
Mongo saw another thing in his periphery but decided not to ignore it this time. He stuck his hand out and caught the rock that was sailing at him. After looking at the rock for a second, Mongo chucked it back to where it came from hoping to hit whoever threw it at him.
"Skreeee!"

After saying "system" another blue screen popped out in front of Mongo, but Mongo was not scared.

After messing around with the blue screen for a few moments, Mongo got tired of it. He saw an X in the top right of the screen, and like a video game, he tapped the X and the screen disappeared.
Mongo decided to go investigate what he just threw the rock at, and walked over to the bushes on the side of the road.
"Ewww, ugly baby!"
Mongo saw an ugly green figure laying on the ground, with a slingshot in hand and a hole through the center of its forehead.
Mongo did not like what he saw so he decided to destroy it. He proceeded to stomp the goblin's head and body until all that was left was a pile of green and red mush.
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
[You have earned the Title- No Mercy]
After smashing the goblin into a pulp, Mongo was satisfied. Unfortunately, Mongo wandered a bit too far into the forest and could not find the road, so he decided to walk in a random direction.
Mongo proceeded to walk through the forest and look around, with thoughts of cereal and Sue already cast away. During his walk, he got distracted by many different things, since he wasn't let outside very often and forgot why he was outside in the first place.
Mongo was lost and did not know what to do, so when he heard drums and chanting, he decided to follow the noise. He followed the noise for 5 minutes, while it got progressively louder and louder. He walked to the top of a hill where he saw a large encampment of goblins, and his brows furrowed.
“Ugly babies,” he muttered under his breath, and his mood immediately soured.
“HELLPPP!!”
Mongo heard a shout from within the wooden walls that sounded like his sister.
“SUUEEE?!?”
“Mongo! Help me!” the voice shouted back.
Mongo didn’t understand much of what was going on, but he knew that his sister was in trouble.
“SUUUEEEE!!!” Mongo shouted as he charged down the hill into the valley.
[You have learned a skill- War Cry]
All the goblins that were on the wall froze for a moment before scurrying frantically for their weapons. It was too late however, as Mongo had made it to the wall and destroyed a large portion of it with his shoulder.
[You have learned a skill- Brutal Charge]
Mongo looked around for his sister and he finally saw her in the center of the camp, tied up with multiple others. She had a bruise underneath both of her green eyes, and her blond hair was dirty and disheveled. Her clothes were torn up but still intact, but if Mongo had not shown up right then, it would likely have been a different story.
Upon seeing his sister in such a state, Mongo got very angry. He immediately assumed that it was the goblins, because they were ugly, and decided that he should destroy them all.
“ARGHHH!! YOU HURT SUUEEE!!” Mongo shouted as the goblins all froze up again.
[You have learned a skill- Rage]
Mongo began to pummel the goblins with his fists, each one thrown turning a goblin’s head into tiny pieces, easily killing them.

“GO AWAY!!” Mongo shouted, and the notifications stopped.
The massacre lasted another 5 minutes, and Mongo did not sustain any injuries. He looked around for any more goblins, and seeing that they were all dead he calmed down.
Mongo ran over to his sister, a little prideful that he saved her, but as he was running over she shouted out to him.
“Mongo look out behind you!”
SKREEE!
The sound of metal scraping against metal rang out.
[You have learned a Skill- Bronze Skin]
“Heeyy!! That hurt Mongo!”
Mongo turned around and looked to see a tall goblin with a sword in hand. Instead of asking questions, Mongo threw out a fist with all his might and destroyed the goblin’s head.

Mongo hit the X on the blue screen and went to look for his sister.
“Sue you okay? You hurt.”
“I’m alright Mongo. What happened though? How did you get so strong?”
“Mongo always strong. Strongo like Mongo.”
“Haha ok Mister Strongo, can you help out your big sister and untie these ropes?”
“Thank you for saving us, sir!”
“Yeah thank you so much,” a couple of the other survivors chimed in.
Mongo grunted and untied the ropes on Sue’s hands and then went around to go smash the bodies of the ugly babies. Sue went around to untie the hands and feet of the other survivors.
“Mongo stop destroying their bodies! That’s gross!”
“But ugly babies!”
“Stop.”
“Fine,” Mongo said, as he got one last kick in, sending a head flying.
“Ok Mongo, seriously,” Sue began, “how did you get so strong?”
“Mongo kill ugly baby. Blue screen pop up. Say Mongo Strongo. Level up. Mongo get Strongo.”
“WHATT??? Can you show me Mongo?”
“Uhh how does Mongo show?’
“Well I’ve read novels about situations like this so maybe say ‘System’ or ‘Status’.”
“System.”
“Woahhh!”

“Okay I did it.”
“Mongo! What are you doing! Add some of them to other stats too!”
“But me Mongo Strongo. Need more strongo.”
“Ughhh! Alright whatever Mongo. You need to select a class too. Try tapping on that one, and make sure you tell me before you choose anything.”

“Okay, remember to wait for me to read it out this time, you got that?”
“Mongo know.”
“Alright, the first one is Mage. This one would need a high intelligence stat so I would not recommend-”
[Select (Mage)?]
[Yes / No]
[Yes]
“MONGO!! What are you doing?”
“Word look pretty?” Mongo said, unsure.
“That is not a good reason to pick it! Ahhhhh whatever Mongo, I guess the choice is yours,” Sue said, defeated.
Just then, someone approached Mongo and Sue
“Umm, excuse me? Would you mind telling me what that blue screen is?” Said one of the men that was saved alongside Sue.
Sue began to explain, “Well it would seem that we are in an apocalypse based on what has been going on around us and the name of the system that Mongo has. It seems that we can grow stronger through the system, too.”
“Uhh Mongo, right? I’m Mike. I want to thank you again so much for saving us. Could you maybe tell us how you got that system? Or how to access it?”
“Mongo kill ugly baby. Blue screen here. Say ‘System’.”
“System… Huh, it didn’t work. I guess I need to kill a monster before I can access the system. Well thanks anyways. I think I should be leaving pretty soon. This area seems too dangerous for me. It was a pleasure to meet you Sue. You as well Mongo. I am going to take my kids and leave this place before they throw up anymore.”
Off in the distance there were two teenagers barfing up their breakfast, and a decapitated Goblin head less than 5 feet from them.
“Teach them strongo like Mongo,” Mongo said with resolution.
“Ahhaha I will try, Mongo,” Mike said awkwardly.
As Mike and his kids left, Sue decided to look around the area, surprisingly not bothered by the corpses strewn about the battlefield. She went into the tent she saw the chieftain come out of and yelled, “Mongo, come over here!”
Mongo wiped off the ugly baby guts from his bare feet to hide what he was doing before walking over to Sue.
“Mongo look at this chest!”
[You have discovered a Bronze Chest]
[Would you like to open it?]
[Yes / No]
“Should open?”
“Yes Mongo, open the chest! It might have some awesome things inside!”
[Yes]
A bright light filled the room and blinded the two of them for a moment before dying back down again. Mongo reached inside the chest and grabbed the items that were inside.
[You have received Random Skill Book (Rare)]

A sudden explosion of bright light came out of the gauntlet and blinded Sue from what was going on. She heard a large explosion and screamed out, “MONGO!”
