What it means to be Human

"What are the other ways?"Jason asked with a hope-filled voice.

"Killing other organisms gives you the same level as coins you would get for killing Zombies, The level of coins you get is dependant on the strength of the being you kill. And Diamonds ruby and other items that can store some sort of mana inside can be exchanged with coins."

"So the system wants me to be a killer along with a pretentious jewellery hoarder," Jason said with a grieved tone.

"Killing other people is out of the question, I can't forget my humanity for some coins. If I started killing people for coins then would there be any difference between me and the zombies who loved sinking their pointy teeth inside us".Jason voiced his opinion with steel in his voice. If he could not even preserve his humanity then was there any reason to survive. Surviving just to become a distorted and crazed version of yourself is much worse than dying. But this did not mean he would be merciful to people who came after him and his loved ones. If someone had even the tiniest bit of intention to hurt his loved ones then giving them a swift death is all he can allow himself to do.

"Well I do have a way to earn coins through other ways, let's check how much coins he could get from the things the system listed."Jason murmured as he willed himself out the state he was in and saw Harry standing there with a worried face. Seeing Jason come out of the dazed state he asked hurriedly.

"W-what happened, are you alright? Is she alright?" Harry fired one question after another at Jason. When he saw Jason falling to the ground with a dazed look on his face he could not decide what to do as he did not know what was happening to his friends, he could only wait for Jason to come to his senses.

"I was just asking the person who helped me before about Arya's condition"

Jason paused as he again introduced the system as a person.

"Crazy Things are happening. Arya is fine and she will wake up after some time and when she wakes up she will have superpowers" Jason could not but laugh at Harry's open-mouthed look as he tried to digest that his friend would have superpowers. First zombies and then people having superpowers, this world just kept getting crazier. But Jason was happy that at least he wasn't the only one who was left open-jawed by this info dump, at least he had Harry to share the burden of being overwhelmed by all of this.

" I have become numb by all of This crazy shit happening now" Harry spoke finally after digesting the fact that Arya will have superpowers.

"Now even if you say that the person you are talking to is God I won't be surprised anymore"

Harry laughed as he said this loosening the complicated atmosphere that overwhelmed the atmosphere inside the bus.

Jason could not help but hold back a laugh as he had just had a chat with the conscience of the system and it technically was a part of a god from higher planes.

But he did not voice this aloud as he thought this really might break his friend this time. He just silently laughed in his mind.

"Let her be for now let's continue the journey " Jason hoped to make Arya lie flat on the seat in a comfortable position properly but her body was so freakin cold right now that touching her would probably freeze his hand.

"Oh and by the way search for a Jewellery shop on the way first I need to visit one," Jason said this as a passing comment but he could not ignore the stare that followed after those words.

Harry was looking as if he was looking at a crazy person, the world was falling apart with all these crazy things happening right now and his friend wanted to do jewellery shopping.

" While I know that you are free to take anything from any shop now but Dude jewellery seriously!" Harry could not help but ask with an incredulous expression on his face.

"Don't misunderstand it's the payment the person asks for seeking his help" Jason shamelessly put all the blame on the never existing person.

"Oh, I see". Harry said with an unconcealed disbelieving tone to his voice. He could not help but be sceptical about it, what use is jewellery to such a person. He though Jason just wanted a nice pair of Dark Earring that complimented the apocalypse vibe. Now thinking about it maybe he should get a pair of them too they would suit him.

Jason again floored the accelerator causing the bus to lurch forward and all the zombies that were attracted to the car's sound previously and were clawing on the car to be smashed away as they again continued on their journey with Harry cursing Jason's driving skills.
