[DAY 21 OF THE APOCALYPSE]S

[SYSTEM CHALLENGE]

[The Host is about to throw a system challenge and at this point only the opponent has the power to survive if he loses. If the Host sets a challenge and loses to his own challenge, then he will die.]

Hearing this, Drake gulped. He was so confused because the system was the one who asked him to issue a challenge to the opponent as part of GOAL 11. But then, he was very aware that this was part of the rules guiding the self-initiated system challenge.

Sergeant Spears was beginning to get impatient as he believed he would have finished Drake up a long time ago but Drake was delaying because he was probably afraid now.

“Seems like you are growing cold feet boy,” Spears said to Drake and Drake just looked at him and ignored as he kept communicating with his system. He was going to fight but not without setting up the challenge, so he just played deaf to Spears annoying words.

    [DAY 26 OF APOCALYPSE]The rain was pattering as Drake finished helping Rachael build a shelter within the safezone at Suncrest. The last five days had been fun for them both, and they had moved from Beryhill to Suncrest after the Shelter Stone expired, and they went back to the safezone.“You are sure you have had enough of the adventure and want to take some time off?” Drake asked Rachael as he stood in front of her.“Yes, I want this... trust me. It has been a wonderful journey with you so far, perhaps I should find time to take some rest since I am not a super human like you,” Rachael said, and Drake chuckled, scratching the back of his neck.“Well, I am not a superhuman,” Drake said and they both laughed again. Then she hugged Drake tightly, and Drake wrapped his hands around her. He sighed, thinking about how they both met.“We met as enemies but became allies,” he whispered into her ear as he held on to her tightly.“Well, thanks to Luke stubbornness, I wouldn’t have found a fr

Drake screamed when he ran headfirst against the bricks. He then rolled on the floor to avoid the bricks falling on him.Drake was shocked were fire c

    Drake arrived at the Westside, the capital of the nation of Westia. He parked the car in the front of the first building he reached."We are here," Drake said to her as he unlocked the car doors. It was night and Elisa's eyes were running wide to make sure that the location they were was safe."What are you doing?" Drake asked her as he saw blue light in her eyes and a certain stream of codes running in it."I'm trying to scan the area for any potential threats. I just want to see if there is any danger lurking around since it is night," she replied and Drake nodded."Well, did you find anything? Zombies, upgraders, mutated beasts, etc?" Drake asked and she sighed in relief."Hopefully there's non yet, this place is actually safe from every known threat. I have also checked inside the building and there is nothing in there," Elisa said to him.He didn't know that Elisa's vision could pass through the wall at first until he noticed how the blue rays from her eyes penetrated the wall in

    [DAY 28 OF APOCALYPSE]“Sit!” Drake heard Mr. Jerry say to him and Elisa. Elisa was right there, frozen but a lot of thoughts rushed through her head.She saw that these people were ordinary humans whereas they she and Drake were system upgraders, so why not fight them and get the hell out of that house?Drake was groaning, in pain for the fork plunged into his hand. He felt like his veins were damaged and he didn’t couldn’t even move. Assuming he had body shields, it would have prevented the damage.“Drake, they can’t hold us, we have to leave these damaged family,” Elisa said, and then instantly, Drake heard the voice of his system in his head.[The Host cannot consider running with his speed, the doors have been locked with a protective case that is strong enough to stop even you from going out.]Drake’s head pumped faster and faster as he thought about how this was going to be like for him. If he couldn’t use his speed, then what was he going to do to get out.BEEP!SYSTEM UPDATE

    [DAY 29 OF APOCALYPSE]Drake walked out of Jerry’s house with Elisa following him behind, but they walked out without the Skulls. Drake had a change of mind even though he had already agreed to follow his lead. Elisa was confused because he wondered why he asked them that question in the first place if he wasn’t interested in taking them along.“So...” Elisa asked as they walked back to the car outside the house. Drake was not sure what she meant so he turned to her slowly.“So what?” Drake asked, wanting her to explain further why she asked the question. She sighed, grabbed his shoulder and made him halt just before he walked into the car. “I thought you were going to let them join us. I mean jerry seems to know things, so why don’t you just let him help us out? He told us about this so called group of people that has set up the HEEP, so I just think we could use them in this search of ours,” Elisa said and then Drake sighed, shaking his head slowly.“No... no... yes, they told us a

    [DAY 30 0F APOCALYPSE]Drake and Elisa scoured every corner of the facility, their hopes pinned on uncovering more about the HEEP program. However, despite their efforts, the documents they found seemed to be nothing more than mundane records, devoid of any groundbreaking revelations.“Should we be here, or should we better try to find one of those other facilities that were listed on there?” Elisa said to Drake whose face was still buried among the files that he was searching. He was standing in front of an entire drawer of files, going through it one after the other.“I think we should search more, making sure that we leave everything opened. We cannot afford to leave any stone unturned here. We should keep searching until we are done with all these files here,” Drake said. He was too determined that he didn’t even want to consider turning away until he was done. Elisa on the other hand was tired of the search, it seemed like it was an endless search. She sat on the edge of the fal

    [The A-RANKERS are called the system overlord for a reason. This rank signifies supremacy within the system’s official chart and it is mostly impossible for people to reach this rank.][INFORMATION ON THE A-RANK CAN BE FOUND BELOW:]The term "A-RANKERS" typically refers to individuals or entities who have achieved the highest rank within a particular system, organization, or hierarchy. This designation often comes with significant privileges, responsibilities, and authority, earning them the title of "system overlord" due to their unparalleled status.[The significance of being an A-RANKER lies in several key aspects:][1. Supremacy and Dominance: A-RANKERS represent the pinnacle of achievement within the system's official chart. They are viewed as the epitome of success and excellence, often commanding immense respect and authority from others.][2. Exclusivity and Rarity: Attaining the A-RANK status is incredibly difficult and rare. It requires exceptional skills, dedication, and so

    [DAY 30 OF APOCALYPSE]Drake and Elisa stood in tense silence, their eyes fixed on the figure clad in black approaching from the window side. The air around thickened in Elisa’s chest, knowing that the arrival of the system upgrader must bring about a challenge.As the man in black reached the door to the facility, Drake's jaw clenched involuntarily, tension coursing through him. He exchanged a quick glance with Elisa, both understanding the gravity of the situation they were about to face. “If he comes in here, then he would want to fight one of us for the spot. We are going to have to wait for him to get in here and choose who he wants to issue the challenge to,” Drake said to Elisa and then she nodded.“Let us see who he gets to chose then. I can’t let him win no matter what, if he chooses me then I will have to crush him, there is no way I am going back to the D-RANK,” Elisa said and then Drake sighed.“So this is it?

    Drake and Elisa huddled together, their eyes were fixed on the worn pages of the diary which was spread out before them. They read each page carefully in anticipation as they took note of the details that we're contained within it. Each word was seen as though it could be offering a potential clue to the location of the facility where the button was rumored to be hidden.According to the owner of the diary, the one who was not only a part of the experiment but also was the one who brought about the idea of the button, The experiment was not completed in any of the facilities they had thought. The ones on their list were the facilities where the experiment began. It happened that after each failed attempt, they would move over to one which they assumed was well equipped and at a more conducive environment. However, after several trials, they discovered that there were certain conditions which would be more suited for the experiment. And for the sole purpose of the experience, A speci

    The Diary

    The night was already far gone when Drake and Elisa made their way back from their encounter with the mysterious man whom they have come to know as a great scientist. Not just any scientist but one who was at the forefront of the whole project that led them to this very place where humanity has found itself. The conversation they had with this man went long enough. The discovered a whole lot by listening to the man speak for almost two hours.They learned that the button was created to put an end to the effect of the experiment instantly. Yes! the button was that effective. It is no wonder the it seemed to be so important to everyone who knew about it. For some reason, the man who had claimed to not just be a big part of the experiment but also the brain behind "the button" equally, said he has no idea about the actual location of the button. According to him, they must have done something to not just him but every other colleague of his who was sidelined. However, he gave them his

    The Revelation

    Drake and Elisa set off in opposite directions, their footsteps echoing through the empty corridors as the moved in a hurry to be able to cover more grounds before there was any interruption. It is not strange for them to assume that there would be some kind of interruption at some point definitely. It has become a regular occurrence in their daily lives now especially when it has to do with the quest to find a solution to the apocalypse. It always felt as though all the forces. of the entire universe were gunning for them. At this point, it is safe to say that the had a target right on their back. In fact, it would be like an error if they finished from NeoGen lab in peace and left without any kind of interference or interruption. As they went from one room to another, they realized the entire place was almost empty. they both found nothing but dust and probably rats running around. Elisa might have been the one who saw the rat,and as much as she wants to tell herself that it is

    It seemed like the journey was endless and the road was stretching at every turn. Elisa was becoming tired in the car as they embarked on yet another journey in search of answers. The sun hung low in the sky, a journey they started since morning was gradually dragging till nightfall as they drove towards NeoGen Labs. They drove in silence for hours. They were talking a lot at the beginning of their journey, but it got to a point where they both ran out of things to talk about, the fact that they were already exhausted didn't make it easy for them to bother about the silence anyway. Along the line, they would say one or two things to each other, but it was not enough to maintain a conversation.As night fell, they finally arrived at their at their destination. They packed their car in a place a bit far from the main building."I think this is good enough. With this, it can't be seen easily."

    NEO GEN LAB

    The night seemed to be very stretched out before Drake and Elisa. They had decided to find a relatively safe place to spend the night. There was no way they could go back to where they came from, not unless the next clue points them towards that place.. They sat in the car in silence both thinking about the same thing but not speaking up, their minds were full of not just the familiar feeling of disappointment but also many questions.Drake ran a hand through his hair, his brow furrowed in thought as he stared out into the darkness. "I can't believe they destroyed the institute," he muttered, his voice was filled with frustration obviously. "All the answers that may have been in that institute, everything has gone up in flames.. everything"Beside him, Elisa sat in silence, listening to him speak. She was equally frustrated. she could not imagine that all their effort was in vain. "It is like they are always one step ahead of us at every turn," she said to Drake, She sounded like she

    Drake smiled back at Elisa. He felt a bit better than he was feeling a moment ago. "Alright, shall we?"Elisa returned his smile again and then nodded in agreement.They began to walk along the narrow path. They tried to walk as fast as they could in order to leave that premises as soon as possible. The needed to get to the car early enough. Drake changed his mind on walking all the way there. They had parked the vehicle some meters away for two reasons: firstly, it was to avoid calling attention to themselves, secondly it was to protect the car. Right now Drake is thankful that he made that decision earlier because with what had just happened, there was no telling what those men would have done to the car if they had seen it. "Hold on, we can't walk, let me carry you. Running will get us there in a minute." He carried Elisa on his back and ran towards the direction of the car.As they approached the vehicle, Drake's mind was occupied and a bit troubled with thoughts of their next

    Begining Of The End

    Drake and Elisa burst out of the building coughing so much that their chests were hurting so badly. Elisa would have probably collapsed if she was the one who had to carry her own weight herself. On the other hand, Drake got his determination from the fact that he felt responsible for Elisa, otherwise he also might have collapsed. But here he was trying to be strong for both of them. The strength he got from the system could not possibly get him through moments like this by itself. They were both breathing heavily, their hearts were pounding so fast...it felt like they were threathing to pop out through their mouths because of the rush and the fact that they had to hold their breath at some point in there. The were gasping for air, they both leaned against a large tree along the lonely path where they had stopped.

    The Button II

    Drake removed the flashdrive and placed it in a plastic envelope he found on the desk. He put it in his backpack and was set to leave. "I think we are done here. Let us get going" he said to Elisa. As the were about to open the door, they started to hear sounds coming from the outside. It was not a loud one. It was like faint footsteps approaching the building. They both stopped and looked at each other. "What is that... can you hear that?" Elisa asked Drake. She was sure she was not the only one who heard it, because as faint as it was sounding, it was quiet audible enough for someone on this kind of mission to hear. "I can hear it too" Drake confirmed. They decided against opening the door immediately. Instead, they went to one of the windows which faced the main entrance to peep. "I don't see anything. Do you?" Drake whispered to Elisa. "No I don't... not yet!" Elisa replied. She got am idea to try and scan through the walls. "I can see. we have company." She said "What do y

    The Button

    It is safe to say that the silence was loud. Drake and Elisa could not say a word at that very moment. A thousand and one thoughts were flying through their minds. For some reason, it felt like the got the answer they have been looking for, yet they know quite well that the answer was not there. "Something was indeed wrong. Something was going on down here. Something quite scary" Drake finally spoke. I wish the video explained some parts in more detail though. What was that experiment all I have about in the first place? what were they trying to do?"Drake said like he was overwhelmed with the entire situation."The button he spoke about... do you know what he meant by that?. Elisa asked. "do you think it could be a metaphor or he was referring to an actual button?" she added. "I do not really understand everything, but I think it is an actual button. At that stage there was no need to be using metaphor. He mentioned facilities. I believe that there are no other facilities involve
