Where it all began
Arc 1 - Zombies, death, and RPGs. Oh my.
Day 1:
- Ping - Ping - Ping -
I groan as I wake up to what seems to be a ringing noise. As I slowly open my eyes I notice a soft blue glow in front of me. 'Huh, I could have sworn I turned off the tv in my room last night.' I thought to myself as I try to get up.
- Ping - Ping - Ping -
"HOLY SHIT!" I scream as I fall off my bed to the floor. In front of me there is a bright blue screen that says (Installing).
- Ping -
- Congratulations, you have been selected for (The Gamer) program due to your potential in progression and PHS. Because of your potential you have caused an apocalyptic event to occur on your planet. In simplified terms you basically doomed humanity due to your existence. -
Wide eyed and gaping I stare at the blue box for a few seconds after which I close my eyes and count to ten. I open my eyes again only to see the box still in front of me. As I take a closer look I notice at the bottom right corner it there is a tab that says (next). I reach out to touch it and feel my hand stop while also hearing a clicking sound.
- Ping -
- Special Event: Survive and thrive through the apocalypse for 30 days.
Success - 25 Stat Points, Escape from your world.
Failure - Death, need there more to be said?
Do you accept?
- Yes - No -
'Normally if I was offered The Gamer ability I would be ecstatic if weren't for the fact that I doomed humanity and that I can't refuse this special event.' I thought bitterly to myself.'Oh well might as well get this over with and see if this is real.'

'I wonder what that PHS was all about, I didn't see it mentioned anywhere.'
'I guess there's only one thing left. Inventory.'
In front of me a blue box with a miniature version me along many smaller boxes with appears. As observe it I notice that I am able to equip any clothes/armor and weapons I want.
Dred: "Oh well, it looks like I'm not going to make it to class today." I say to myself in a sarcastic tone. I take a look at the alarm clock and notice that it is already the afternoon, in which I then turn on the tv and change the channel to the news.
Female Reporter: As you can see the police have issued a lockdown in a neighborhood within the Ardor district. There have been reports that the residents have contracted something called the Green Flu. Medical examiners have stated that it is contagious although it does not seem fatal. As you can see Officer Sheldon was generous enough to come and explain the situation to us. If you may Officer.
Officer S: As you can see, behind me the police force has set up a barricade. The reason for this is to allow us to safely processes any residents that have contracted the Green Flu. Although this may seem as an overkill the simple reason is that the Green Flu causes hallucinations and aggression. So far ther-
Blood curdling screams come from behind the barricade.
Officer S: I'm sorry ma'am, if you can excuse me.
Runs towards the barricade.
Female Reporter: W-Well that concludes the report. Back to you Alex.
I turn off the tv and sit down on the edge of my bed to think. 'Okay, so it seems as if the apocalypse is based on a disease that makes you overly aggressive, is contagious, and is some how dangerous enough to have a barricade set up around the area. What can this all mean?' All of a sudden a light bulb flashes over my head and I suddenly get it, along with a sense of dread and fear.
Dred: "Dear god, it's a zombie apocalypse." I whisper.
