Only My System Is Different...!
March 17, 20XX.
Beeeeep!
Beeeeep!
Beeeeep!
An emergency disaster alert blared across the entire nation, startling countless people at once.
The message was only a single line.
April 1st
"What the hell is this?"
"Is this some kind of prank text?"
"No, this is an emergency disaster alert!"
"What is the government even doing?!"
A brief stir of confusion rippled through the country — and that was all. People dismissed it as a joke, cursed the government, and grumbled under their breath. No one made any real effort to interpret the message or act on it.
And so the day before April 1st arrived — March 31st...
A voice thundered so loudly it nearly blew out our eardrums — and in that moment, I and everyone else finally understood.
April 1st was the day the world would end.
A zombie apocalypse.
The moment when ninety percent of humanity would be wiped out had arrived without warning.
But it wasn't as though humanity had been left without hope.
That... is... why! We will now grant the remaining members of humanity a special power — so that you may survive!
A flippant, booming voice declared that it would bestow the surviving ten percent of humanity with the strength they needed to live.
Brave Saga Online.
A globally popular title released on both PC and mobile, boasting a billion accounts worldwide. And therein lay the problem — I didn't have an account for that game.
Just as I was resigning myself to wait for death...
You have been selected as one of the 10% of humanity capable of surviving the zombie apocalypse.
👏 Clap clap clap clap! 👏
Letters materialized before my eyes, announcing my survival.
But that wasn't all.
I alone... had been given a power different from everyone else's.
In other words—
I alone... had a different system.
