Is apocalypse supposed to be this terrifying??

"What does this entail for me and what is happening to Arya?"

"Well, now that the mana has been released and my full capabilities released with it I guess I could explain it to you. Oh and by the way, I have regained my full conscience now, I'm a fragment of one of the God's from a higher plane. I don't have my memories with me but just the basic things as I have to follow the rules set on the system. " The system or he could say the conscience of the system reintroduced itself to him.

"And for the Mana, let me first explain the reason for this state of the world. What is happening to this world is a failed evolution sequence, the zombies as you people are calling them are nothing but the first and the strongest humans that were supposed to evolve but they mutated and went into a vegetative state of mind. Their minds are filled with bloodlust and are completely impossible to save. For example, Arya was one of them and fortunately, you saved her as changing her back from that deranged form would have been impossible for even me at my current level. Also, the evolution process did not happen for just humans but to other organisms too which were deemed sentient enough to evolve. The animals on this earth will evolve and become intelligent enough or maybe more intelligent than a normal human. Also, these zombies will also evolve as time goes on, some of them will even regain their intelligence but would still be filled with blood lust."

All this info dump made his headspin, thinking about animals gaining intelligence and zombies growing stronger made his knees go weak as he too stumbled on the bus floor next to Arya.

"What are you? The system or just a part of it," Jason asked the main question on his mind.

"Both, the system was made using the soul fragment I was in so it can be said that I am the system. But I also have to follow the rules of the system so you could just say that I'm the conscience of the system and will behave as a part of it. You'll have to level up to know more about me."

"Will she be alright?" Jason asked finally. He could do nothing about all that right now, all he could do was grow stronger and try to survive in this terrifying world.

"She will be more than alright, You just saved one of the first evolvers from turning into a zombie. She would have become a zombie from all the power overload but you saved her and now she would probably be one of the strongest evolvers. There will be many like her who survived the first evolution and became the strongest evolvers. All the evolvers after them will be weaker than them. She is going through her evolution process right now and will wake up as an evolver. Oh also, by the way, there will be evolvers with all kinds of powers popping out now as the evolution process goes on."

"Will all humans evolve?"

"No not all only 1% of the total human population will evolve to have powers. For others, all the mana flowing through the earth will just strengthen their bodies passively."

"Will I be an evolver?"

"You would have been an evolver but the system stopped it and instead integrated the system with your body."

Listening to that made him a little bit sad but having a system was awesome too.

"No need to be sad, just look at the Mystical section of the system store and it will make your happiness meter go off the charts."

Jason had always been curious about the mysterious section of the store and now that the system itself was urging him to open it why would he wait anymore.

When he opened the Mystical section again what greeted him was a panel similar to the skill section with all the blocks blacked out and just the top four being available to him.

But the four abilities blew away his mind making his face freeze in an amazing expression.

Telekinesis

Pyrokinesis

Inhuman Strength

Time Skip

He Enthusiastically opened the details of each skill.

Telekinesis: A way to interact with things with just your mind. As it grows stronger the force you can exert on things also increases.

Pyrokinesis: Turns the mana inside you to transform into an elemental form of fire and heat and let it do your bidding.

Inhuman Strength: The strength of your physical body increases by an unsurmountable amount. At its maximum state, it could enable you to topple mountains with a kick.

Time Skip: Lets you control time for your own self. You can alter the time on your body making the world speed up for you or either slow down for you.

You can only choose one ability per system level. The next system level upgrade would be when you level up to level ten.

Well, this choice is too complex, all the abilities are powerful in their own right.

"What is the price of the skills?" Jason asked the question that mattered the most right now.

"It's quite cheap just 1k coins per skill."

"Cheap you say it," Jason could not help but look at the pitiable number of coins he had.

"Oh, and you still have to pay the 10,000 coins you owe the system within the two-week timeline or bear the consequences."

"Fuck me sideways," Jason cursed as he tried to think how would he kill so many zombies.

"Is killing zombies the only way to obtain points?" Jason asked with a pitiable look on his face.

"Of course there are other ways."
