"Stage 2 of AS activated."
"Gift of the skill
"Initiation of Evaluation System"
"Host identified, display of the information"
"Name: James Black
Level: 0
Stats: Strenght: 8
Agility: 7

Vitality: 8

Information to Host: Human average value is 7"
"Evaluation of the Host Innate Potential: Attribution of a first weapon or skill accordingly."
"Host potential is actually oriented on physical attack. Attributed weapon
So that's basically all the notification I received during the first minute after the world announce of a cataclysm by the AS. First let me present myself. My name is James Black, I turned 18 two month ago, so one can say I just barely made it as an adult. Now that is done let's start with the second thing a today order, asking this bast**d AS what the hell is happening. And so in this idea I asked:
"AS what does you mean with the announcement previously?"
"From today onward, all humanity would need to fight for their survival, also human like Host were given the AS, all animals on Earth will go through mutation and after that will obtain an equivalent of the AS, if we estimate the power of the actual humanity you wouldn't survive more than a 3 month without help from the AS. Furthermore for the sake of pushing human to the limit all technological long-distance communication like internet and mobile were cut"
Okay, that's basically destroying half of the power of humanity but I can still accept it because it still wouldn't help me in this situation.
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
"Does technological weapon are still functional?"
"Yes, but you can't steal Life Power within Life Form your kill with it. From the examition of human technologies through the AS we can evaluate that any Life Form with a Endurance stats above 40 will be immune to any weapon apart from Nuclear one. But Nuclear weapon will accelerate the mutation of the new Beast, animals terms being unadequate. So basically within 2 month 20% of the Beast population will be immune to technological weapon created by the the civilisation of Earth entraining doom upon humanity."
That's rather hard for the human society but so what, it is just curiosity for me to ask. My current situation doesn't change because of this. Now you are surely asking yourself why I keep talking talking about my situation. Then I will tell you, it's rather simple, Currently my location is rather problematic with this announce because, for my 18 anniversaries my friends offered me a trip in the Amazon Rainforest. But fuck, now I am currently in the biggest forest in the world and all the animals within are mutating to be some Beast! I am basically in the best location on earth to die! Oh, no I forgot Australia! But still, I need a solution for surviving, and I need it urgently.
"What is the ability of Beast after there first mutation?"
"To be judged by their level, it will evaluate their Innate Potential. But if Host can be reassured by it, with your current strenght and location your probability of survival is of 10%"
"That's surely is one hell of a good news"
"Host you should already be happy, 80% of humanity mutated in low-level Beast that are weaker than the natural one. So still being human is already a good news"
The more I talk with the System, the more I sense that madness is a probable problem that I will rapidly face.
"Is there any solution other than killing those monstruous Beast for strenghtening me now?"
"For that Host should first observe his gifted weapon."
"That is a beautiful metal stick"
"Host, I said observe, with the skill you dumb fu**"
So now even a system stuck in my head is insulting me. I think I can sense madness coming closer. Still I tried what it tell me:
'Observe'
Damage: 5
Description: A simple 1,5m Iron Stick. Can be used with AS for a one time try at the lottery during the first hour.
Note of the AS: That's trash.
'This system even comment on weapon now...'
That was the first thing I think of, this note making me completely speechless. But after that I asked:
"What is the lottery?"
"The lottery is an option of the system. There 50% of obtaining nothing 30% of obtaining something of your level like this stick, 15% of obtaining something superior, 4,99999% of obtaining something random and finally 0,00001% of obtaining something legendary."
I immediately started thinking about what to do. I mean if I obtain nothing I will be totally fucked. But on the other side if I obtain anything superior I could be saved. But when I was going to ponder, I heard a sound that make me change my mind.
"Aaaaaaaarghhhhh!!!!!"
I recognized the voice immediately. My guide that was at the other side of the camp. I didn't know if he was attacked by a Beast or if he just happened to have an accident but what I know is that with this cry, we were pretty muched fuc**d and so:
"Start the lottery"
"Loading lottery"
