"What are you?" Von gazed at the panel, not expecting an answer.

[ Host may call me System. System is a tool that may support host in countless situation. ]

Von's eyebrows raised. That was unexpected, it looked like this System was conscious enough to answer his questions.

'Script, maybe?' Von figured

Von stared at the panel once again, it was the only proof that showed that this system was real.

"Okay, how exactly did i become the host?"

[ The system was created by an infamous scientist from another universe. Due to circumstances, the system was forced into a portal and was incidentally sent to the current host. However, upon arrival the system once again transported host and the system to parallel universe, expending the emergency power supplies in the process ]

Everything was explained by the system's monotone voice

Von couldn't help but sigh, the week's experience really felt surreal. It all seemed like it came out of a fantasy setting, but no matter how hard he pinched himself, this was undoubtedly reality.

"... Then why was the plane transported as well?" Certainly, the lack of bodies could be explained. But he wondered why the plane was also brought along.

[ Transporting doesn't take energy, creating the portal does. This reason is why the system concluded to transporting the plane along with host ]

Von nodded understandingly, so it wanted the power supply.

"That makes sense.."

[ Reminder! Currently, system is running on a backup supply! Mission has been created ]

Along with this panel came another,

[ 'Mission: Locate source of energy!' The conversion will be handled the system

Rewards: Higher function unlocked ]

Von scanned through the panel, and paused to think

'If the system's story is true and from what I've seen so far... I think it has the capabilities to secure my survival if i get it back to an optimum state'

"..."

Von decided. His goal was to restore the system and find out what this disaster of a world he landed in had in store.

...

Von searched through the surrounding of the shopping center up ahead. Although it was flooded with zombies, its sheer size told him that the center must have everything he needed.

'Since i'm at the outer layer of the city, it'll take time to get to the center. I should prepare myself for the horde there' Von thought, imagining how such a high density area may have fared with the apocalypse.

Despite that huge possibility that it would be infested with millions of zombies, Von was set on going. If he can make it through this, he was sure to come back with the city's power grid.

Von shook his head and looked at the cluster of zombies ahead.

Griping an empty can of soda tightly, Von thought,

'These zombies are a lot similar to what i read online, specially such an eye glaring weakness '

Von threw the can away from the shopping center. Producing a crisp ring through the quite area.

Every zombies turned their heads towards the sound in sync, before rushing towards the can like maniacs

Von smiled in victory,

"Bye~" Von muttered before entering through the now-empty-entrance in caution.

Rows of stores were lined up while the building stretched into the distance. Von paused, it looked like he was above an underground floor. He walked to the railing,

And sighed, he was right. He could probably find everything he needed here.

"This might be a little difficult" Von whispered to himself, blankly gazing at the zombies scattered everywhere

If he made it out alive.
