"System! What did you mean by awakening?" Alaric asked. If it was what he thought it was, it would help him immensely in his goal to avenge his friend.
[You have awakaned, awakening means you have gained an ability which is special to you and only you. I, the system is given to everyone who has awakened. I come with a status window, to open the status window, you simply have to think 'status window'.]
'Huh, Status window?' he thought. A blue screen suddenly appeared infront of his face, making him flinch a little. As he calmed down he looked at the contents of the little blue screen.

'Woah! So it's like an RPG game. I guess a 5 in any of the stats are equal to an avarege person.'he thought as he looked through his stats. As his eyes neared the bottom of the screen they widened. 'Gravitational forces manipulation? Do I get to control gravity!?' his heart thumped in excitement.
[No, GFM is the manipulation of the pushing and pulling forces of gravity. The pulling force being reminiscent of a black hole and the pushing force being reminiscent of a white hole. Though keep in mind that the power of these forces are not in any way, shape or form, anywhere close to being that of these phenomena.]
'Ah, so it isn't anything like Telekinisis or anything along those lines. I'm like a beacon where objects are attracted to or get pushed away from.' Alaric thought looking slightly dissapointed. He then turned his eyes to the [Skill] tab.
'What skills would i be able to learn will I be able to shoot fireballs from hands, laserbeams from my eyes or even something like frost breath?' he asked the system, slowly building up his excitement again.
[Skills will only be able to help you by giving you buffs or enhancements. Attacking or defending skills will only be linked to your ability. The only way to get attacking or defending skills is by learning and experimenting with your ability]
'That will make things alot harder' Alaric thought, looking slightly dejected. He shook his head and looked up, eyes filled with determination, "This won't matter I will still become strong and achieve my goal."
'Alright, time to get a move on. I'll probably go to the school cafeteria first to get canned food and then search the rest of the building.' he thought turning around, his eyes widening abit. 'Or what's left of it.'
As he was to concentrated on making a grave and looking at his status window, he didn't see that the dragon's blast had obliterated half of the school. Thankfully, the side that was gone didn't have the cafeteria.
After calming down he made his way into the building, walking down the hallways of the once normal school. 'Huh, that's strange, why is it so eerily quite?' Alaric thought walking through the hall that lead to the cafeteria and arriving infront of the cafeteria door.
Before he could open it though, a walking corpse had burst through the doors. Alaric screamed and took a step back, bringing his right hand infront of him for protection. Time seemed to slow down as the creature was mere inches away from him, but as Alaric's arm stretched out, dazzling white energy started appearing infront of his hand.
BOOM!
The creature was sent flying. Crashing back through the doors, making them rattle. Alaric breathed heavily, looking bewildered at his hand. 'What the f*ck was that?' he then shook his head, knowing there was more important matters to attend to.
He quickly ran into the cafeteria sidestepping the still alive zombie, who couldn't move because of his now broken legs and arms, and made his way to the kitchen. He quickly scanned the place and found what he was looking for, a knife. He grabbed it and quickly moved back to the zombie.
He lifted his arms, knife clutched in both hands, and swung it down on the walking corpse. The knife punctured its head making its little movements of struggling cease.
*Ding*
[You have killed a minor zombie. +2 Attribute points.]
Looking at the message, Alaric's eyes shone with curiosnes. 'Status window' he thought, as the now familiar blue screen lit to life infront of him again.

'Interesting, I got two attribute points. Oh, and two knew skills, I'll check their info later. Now I just want to know why there was a zombie here?' he thought, the thought of him killing it sent chills down his spine, but he will cope for now.
[Zombies are formed from humans who couldn't handle the energy of being awakened. They then morph into lifless zombies.]
'Oh, so there was a chance that i could have turned into a zombie.' he grimaced. 'Wait, but why was there only one zombie here? There should be tons of them here since the school was a populated place, unless...' Alaric's eyes widened in shock. 'System, how long was knocked out for?'
[You have been in a coma like state for seven days.] The robot's voice had made his skin gon cold.
'Seven whole days!? A whole week! I was out for a whole week!?' Alaric's eyes widened, his hands clenching and unclenching. He closed his eyes, sighing, he didn't think he was out for that long.
'Again, something to think of later. For now let's just search the cafeteria for some food.' Alaric rubbed his head, he should really stop pushing things to a later date. He shook his head and walked to the kitchen.
'After this, I should probably look for a temporary shelter for protection.' Alaric finalising his next part of the plan. He stepped into the kitchen and started looking.
