The Cataclysm Part 1

I pondered for a bit while kicking stones away.

"Hmmm, maybe I should just wipe everyone out at once."

[Emotions in a heightened state yield more power, it is recommended that the mortals experience a variety of emotions, such as happiness and despair.]

"So, it has to be gradual? But I can act with impunity?" I broke into an evil grin while tapping the Interface.

Charles got off of work and was driving home when he hit somebody.

"Damn, from bad to worse, at least I wasn't driving fast, at most it should just be a scrape." He was barely going five miles an hour when he hit them and it was also them who just ran out in front of them.

"Hey are you okay?" He got out and turned on his phone's flashlight and pointed it at the man, only to back away while an unusual groan to come out the man's mouth.

Then the man got up and sniffed the air, and then shambled towards Charles while reaching out to him with outstretched arms.

He frowned as he backed away and put a hand on his pistol.

"Stop, what are you trying to do?" What he got as an answer was a groan.

"Hey, stop!" He grabbed his gun and pointed it at him while the passerbys started shouting at him.

Then the man stepped forward into the light and he saw his face covered in blood.

"Jesus, what's wrong with you? Hey don't come any closer!" He pointed his gun at the mans face, and was about to pull the trigger when a voice rang out in his head.

A young sounding voice echoed in his head.

Then there was silence all around the world...

He felt something grab his sleeve, and when he looked up, he saw stark white pupils staring into his own, and a mouth wide open trying to tear into his arm.

He kicked the zombie away and pointed his gun and pulled the trigger.

[You are level 1, Exp needed for next level 5/5.]

You have leveled up, current level 2, Exp need for next level 0/10.] An emotionless voice spoke in his head.

He looked down at the zombie and the black blood spreading from the chest as it lay on the street.

The world seemed to slow as people pushed past him and ran away as zombies leapt at them, trying to eat them.
