2024-01-23 19:25:28"Why do you sound that way? Is anything wrong with me or my system?"
Drake said, curiosity and worry showing on his face.
"No, no, there's nothing wrong. It is just that I've seen a little information about your system," Elisa said.
Drake's eyes narrowed. He felt naked now. Could Elisa actually access the information he was trying to withhold from her about his system?
"How's that even possible? I don't think anyone can access other people's systems," Drake mentioned.
Elisa spoke, "Well, that may be true about others, but my system is called 'Knowledge Beast System'. It's like having the entire internet stored in my head, allowing me to access vast information about this apocalyptic world and every single system."
Drake's eyes widened with curiosity as he absorbed Elisa's words.
"What?" Drake was shocked. His heart throbbed. He wondered how much she already knew about him.
"Not only that," Elisa continued, "I can conjure virtual weapons and even shoot lasers from my eyes. Pretty neat, huh?"
Drake exclaimed, "That's incredible..."
Elisa chuckled, a glimmer of pride in her eyes.
"Well, there's a lot more to systems than meets the eye. Yours, for instance, is quite powerful. It ranks fifth among the top ten systems."
Puzzled, Drake inquired, "Who's number one, then? Zeus?"
Elisa shook her head, a smirk playing on her lips.
"No, Zeus is powerful, but he's third. The real number one is a mystery, someone who prefers to stay in the shadows. I haven't come across her yet."
"She's a girl?" Drake asked.
"Yes, a teenager, that's the only information I have received about her."
Drake sighed, "A mysterious figure in an already mysterious world. Great."
"Now, about your Skill Invoker System," Elisa continued, "It's unique; you're not limited to just one skill like the rest of us. You can unlock different skills, one after the other. It gives you an advantage over those with systems tied to specific skills, like mine or Zeus."
She explained in detail.
Drake's mind churned with understanding, and he began to grasp the true uniqueness of his system.
"So, I'm like a jack-of-all-trades in the system world," Drake mused.
Elisa nodded, a glint of admiration in her eyes.
"Exactly. Your versatility could be your greatest weapon."
At that moment, Drake Miller thought about the advantage of Elisa's system again, and suddenly, a thought popped up in his mind.
"Can you help me find my mother's location?" Drake asked.
"What?" Elisa asked, unsure of what Drake was trying to say.
"Your system works like a digital tool, right?" He asked, and she nodded.
Hope was beginning to rise in Drake's heart as he thought of the possibility that his mother would be found.
"Can you track her just as a computer can pinpoint someone on a map?" Drake inquired, hope filling his words.
Elisa puffed out air from her mouth as nervousness took over. It was clear she hadn't tried anything like this before.
"Give me a detailed description of your mother, and I'll do my best."
Drake recounted every detail he could remember about his mother – her appearance, any distinctive features, and the last-known location they were together.
Elisa's eyes glowed, emitting a soft blue light. It was as if her gaze had transformed into a portal to the digital realm.
Drake watched in awe as Elisa's eyes showed streams of programming codes.
After a moment that felt like an eternity, Elisa's eyes returned to their normal state, and she took a deep breath.
"I found her," she said, her voice trembling.
Drake's heart pumped up and down as anxiety took over him.
"Your mother is in St. Mary's Hospital. She's been there since the beginning of the apocalypse."
Drake's heart raced with a mix of emotions – relief at finally knowing his mother's precise whereabouts and concern for her safety.
"St. Mary's Hospital," Elisa repeated, emphasizing the name, "that is where my brother works. I was seeking a car before I met you. I needed a car to get that far," Elisa revealed.
"But there's something else. It seems the hospital is filled with other injured survivors seeking refuge. There's a zombie horde trying to break into the hospital."
Drake's brows furrowed with worry. It meant his mother was in great danger along with lots of innocent people without any powers.
Beep!

GOAL REWARDS:
+1 LIFE PACK for every survivor you save from dying at the hospital.
50% STRENGTH BOOST
20% SPEED BOOST
NOTE: You may stand a chance to Invoke a new skill.
Drake's eyes widened as he listened to the task details.
The system was offering him not only an additional life pack but also a substantial boost to his strength and a chance of unlocking a new skill, if and only if he succeeded.
Elisa noticed the change in Drake's expression and inquired, "What's the system saying now?"
Drake relayed the information to her, and they exchanged a nod.
"It looks like our goals align perfectly," Elisa remarked, a spark in her eyes.
"Let's save your mother and my brother, along with those trapped in there with them. My system has also provided an opportunity for leveling-up through this mission."
As they spoke, distant sounds of shuffling feet and guttural moans cut through their conversation.
"What was that?" Elisa asked, and Drake froze.
"Zombies..." He muttered.
Suddenly, a swarm of zombies emerged from the corner of the street, an army of the undead seeking their next meal.
"Shit!"
Instinct kicked in. Drake, relying on his remaining speed, sprinted away from the impending threat. Knowing he had 0% strength and 1 life pack left, he couldn't stay back to fight.
But Elisa, lacking enhanced speed, couldn't run as fast. The zombies seized her legs, pulling her down to the pavement.
"Drake!! Help me!!"
Drake turned around, realizing he left her behind.
Drake, though gaining distance, couldn't ignore the desperate situation Elisa was in.
"I can't let her die," he murmured.
With a burst of speed, Drake reached her side, scooping her up and carrying her swiftly into the grocery store 2 km away, with his speed.
The horde, frustrated by the loss of their potential prey, groaned and lurched after them, the hope of a meal still filled their lifeless eyes, as they chased after them.
In the grocery store, Drake panted, feeling a little dizzy as he dropped Elisa to her feet.
"They won't be able to get here that fast," Drake groaned.
He clung to one of the empty shelves in the grocery store.
"What's happening to you?" Elisa asked him, worried.
"I think it's because my strength is at zero, and my speed just decreased too. I also feel—"
Drake's words were interrupted by the sound of the system.
Beep!

Swap!
The voice faded once more.
"Yes!!!" Drake said through clenched teeth, excited for the upgrade he received.
"I feel strong again. Now, I know better than misusing my skills again. I will avoid any attempt to use my strength on irrelevant situations."
"Phew!!" He exhaled.
Elisa nodded at him, "thank you! They could have had a taste of my flesh."
Drake nodded back at her.
Drake took time to scan the entire grocery store with his eyes, and he found out that all the shelves were empty, with only one shelf that had only 3 loaves of packed bread which seemed to have grown molds.
"What happened here? This used to be the biggest food store in town. How come it has been wiped clean?" Drake said.
"I am also shocked at the sight. It isn't even up to 24 hours since the apocalypse started. I think some people broke into this place to take supplies," Elisa said.
"How did this whole apocalypse thing start in the first place?" Drake said, worried.
He strolled up to the shelf, hunger biting deep into his intestines. He saw the bread had gone bad, but he had no choice.
He threw a loaf at Elisa, and she caught it.
"My system doesn't say anything about how it started and how it led us all down to this," Drake continued as he worked over to the refrigerator to check if there was anything left in it.
He was shocked to see only a can of expired fruit juice in it.
"It expired last month; it shouldn't be that bad," he said, reading the EXP date.
"About how this all started, I have been researching with the help of my system," Elisa said, and Drake paused.
"What did you find out?" He asked, curiosity peaking.
Elisa opened her eyes wide, and once again, her eyes began to stream a series of computer codes.
"Hoping to create super-soldiers. But something went terribly wrong. The virus, designed to enhance physical abilities, accidentally mixed with the energy from a System Core, creating a dual catastrophe. On one side, there are people like us, the system upgraders, with enhanced abilities. On the other side, the virus-infected corpses, raising them from the dead as zombies."
Her eyes turned back to normal after reading aloud to Drake's hearing.
Drake was frozen, his eyes narrowing in uncertainty. He wasn't sure of what to make out of what he just heard.
"That's the little information my system allowed me to access for now," she said regretfully.
"What does that information mean for us? Were you able to get anything?" Elisa said.
Drake couldn't understand anything himself. Everything was still a mystery to him.
He shook his head, signaling a NO.
"Let's focus on the task ahead. We should think of how to get a car; my speed had dropped," Drake muttered.
Drake looked at a corner and found a backpack laying there. It probably belonged to one of the customers that visited before the apocalypse.
He grabbed it, put his food supplies, and Elisa threw hers over to him to put in it too.
Drake hung the bag and walked out of the door, Elisa following.
"There's a car," Elisa pointed at the parking lot across the grocery store.
They both walked quickly towards it.
The abandoned car seemed to be their only hope.
Drake struggled with the car's lock, muttering curses under his breath.
"Come on, come on," he urged, the tension was overwhelming in his voice.
Elisa gasped as the lock yielded to his efforts.
Elisa's eyes darted off to her front, and her breath hitched. The sudden appearance of the same zombie horde they had escaped made her freeze.
"Drake, we need to hurry!" She muttered absentmindedly, her eyes lost at the sight of the zombies.
Drake's gaze flicked nervously between the approaching undead and the stubborn car ignition.
"I'm trying, Elisa. Just give me a sec."
His hands trembled, a mix of fear and urgency driving his efforts.
As the car door creaked, Elisa's eyes widened at the quick advance of the zombie horde.
"We've got company, Drake. Hurry!"
"I know, I know," Drake muttered, hastily sliding into the driver's seat.
The groans of the undead intensified, echoing through the streets.
Elisa, tense and alert, blurted out,
"Drake, they're getting closer! Do something!"
The car's engine, resistant to Drake's desperate attempts, refused to comply.
"Come on, you piece of junk!" he exclaimed, frustration showing on his face.
Amidst Elisa's panicked screams, the zombies lunged at the car, their decaying hands clawing at the windows.
Scratch!!
Scratch!!
One of them managed to scratch Drake's arm, and Elisa used a metal rod to fend it off.
The car, battered by the Zombies' assault, suddenly roared to life.
Drake, filled with relief, clenched his teeth.
As the car sped away, the broken bodies of the pursuing zombies littered the street.
"Drake, you suffered a scratch," Elisa muttered, her eyes meeting Drake's bleeding arm.
Drake's eyes narrowed at the scratch on his arm. It seemed he was just noticing.
"Yes, so?"
"You could be infected," Elisa said and Drake's heart sank, anxiety setting in.
Drake's hands trembled on the the steering wheel as he drove.
"What happens if one gets infected?" Drake asked.
"If you died from a zombie scratch, your chance of getting infected is zero. But on the other hand, if you didn't die but only got a scratch, you may become one of them," Elisa panted, and Drake gulped.

It isn't as fast as they make it look in the movies," Elisa said, trying her best to make Drake concentrate on the mission ahead.Drake's heart raced as fast as the car through the road laid in ruin.The road was lonely, and as Drake drove, he avoided large cracks from an earthquake."We've seen hundreds of innocent people lying dead on the road ever since we left town, Elisa," Drake panted, his eyes reddening."I don't want to be part of what's causing this chaos. I can't bear to see myself turn into one of them," Drake murmured, his eyes focused on the road ahead."Nobody said you'll turn into them yet; it's just a theory from what I've researched," Elisa said, and Drake banged the steering wheel."But you've been right about every other research!"

ST. MARY'S HOSPITAL [5:00 PM] "What do we do? There are over 12 of them," Elisa said, and Drake sighed. Thud!! Thud!! Drake could see the zombies hitting the front door of the hospital. "I don't know, but we can't let them break in. You and I need this task down to level up," Drake said, assessing the risks. "The most important thing is we have families in there," he said, and Elisa nodded. "We go out there and take on the zombies," Drake suggested, and Elisa gasped. "What?" Elisa asked in shock. She couldn't believe what he was suggesting. Drake's eyes were set on the door that was being banged by the zombies. And he saw the door was about to yield. "We must hurry," Drake said. He weighed the consequences, but not going was worse. "Wait!" Elisa said as she noticed Drake trying to open the door. Drake paused and turned to her. "I don't know if you realize this, but these things can't be killed. I tried to kill a lot of them, but they get back up in a few minutes," Elisa s

[ 10:00 PM ]As Drake rushed into the streets around St. Mary's Hospital, he looked around."There must be some kind of forest around this place," Drake said.Suddenly, his heart throbbed as his eyes met a Zombie horde running towards him."F*ck!" He exclaimed as he saw they were coming from all sides of the street.It was a crossroad, and all roads met where he stood at the center."My aim is to find mutated beasts and hunt them down; I can't let these zombies delay me," Drake mentioned.Growl!!He ran, leading the zombies all down one path, chasing after him."Shit!" Drake shouted as the swarm of zombies, which numbered about 21, were catching up to him.There was a ladder where he ran to, the ladder leading up to a rooftop.Drake tried to climb up quickly, but one zombie gripped his leg, attempting to pull him down."The guns," Drake thought, pulling out his two pistols, one in each hand.Drake suddenly turned on the ladder and kicked the zombie in the face.Before the others could

THE SAFEZONE"Hurry up, hurry up!" Drake called out to the group of survivors he had transported from the hospital to the specified safezone north of the hospital. "We still need to go back to bring the others here!" Drake said, urging them to come down from the car faster.They left 5 of them here because the car couldn’t contain them all at once, so they had to go back as soon as possible.Upon arriving at the warehouse, Drake noticed complete emptiness inside. "This is strange, don't you think? This warehouse belongs to FROYA FOODS LTD, but look around; isn't it really strange to see it this empty?" Drake said, raising his concerns.On normal grounds, the warehouse was supposed to be a storehouse for one of the most popular beverage and cereals production companies in the country.So, Drake expected to see a lot of food. However, the warehouse was empty and clean."What do you mean, Drake?" Elisa asked. The people in the car were already out, and Drake and Elisa were waiting for

That was the difficult part of this rescue mission; before they could arrive at the port and get a boat, it would take up to an hour.

End Of Apocalypse
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." Drake said as he tried to cover up the car I'm his usual style with small branches of trees an
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 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
