The glaring morning rays of the sun seeped through the windows and brightened up the empty and quiet room.
Ji Yanyu suddenly opened his eyes and sat up, the light illuminated his surroundings and cleared away the gloom in the place.
Ji Yanyu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw no one else inside. He pursed his lips and looked at his hands, inexplicably feeling nervous and somewhat afraid, after all, what if he didn't get his long-awaited ability?
In the first place, how will he activate his ability?
He frowned and rubbed his chin in wonder, does he have to focus and feel some sort of heat from his stomach–
The young man complicatedly looked at his stomach that had been growling from hunger and decided to eat first before thinking.
Since only the protagonist was the odd one out, and the male leads were all any other people with abilities, other than the fact that their ability looked more advanced and stronger than any other ordinary users, he could try remembering some information about how the male leads use their powers.
Ji Yanyu stood up and fell silent when he felt his limbs shake, clearly, he had been unconscious for so long that his legs had long become numb.
"Just how long was I asleep.." Ji Yanyu helplessly used nearby cabinets to support his movements and went out of the room.
He went in the kitchen and toasted some bread and fried some eggs, casually putting the egg in between two perfectly toasted bread, quietly taking a big bite on his 5-minute crafted breakfast.
Ji Yanyu touched his pocket and opened the phone only to become speechless: ...
August 31, 2020
....Must be why something smelled bad..
Ji Yanyu rubbed his nose and went to the bathroom after eating his sandwich in four bites to do a hygiene wash.
Ji Yanyu stopped from washing his hair and thoughtfully looked at the bathroom's window, he hadn't heard any growls or noise from outside since waking up..
He doesn't remember his house being soundproof.
He nervously pursed his lips and the idea of everything being a dream suddenly came to him, what if there really isn't an apocalypse?
But then weren't there a related news about it before he lose consciousness?
He hurriedly washed himself and changed his clothing, hurriedly went to the window and took a peek outside only to pull back from nausea.
The first thing he saw was a dead corpse with their intestines and organs pulled out of their body, there were dry blood around and mosquitos that couldn't wait to suck the remaining flesh.
Ji Yanyu couldn't help but purse his lips and look at his trembling hands, the feeling of fear and uncertainty engulfed his mentality and he couldn't shake it off as easily as he thought.
"Sigh.." He leaned on the wall and thought hard about the novel, that's the only thing he can hold on to assure survival.
He must follow his plan. He cannot allow deviation.
Right now, he have to find out how to use his ability.
Ji Yanyu sat down and tried to meditate, trying to feel anything and something in him that can become a breakthrough.
Vaguely, Ji Yanyu could sense bits of warm lights around him, seemingly hesitant but still approached him in earnest.
Just like the descriptions on cultivation novels, Ji Yanyu did not think too deeply about the occurrence and tried every means to absorb as much as he can.
Instinctively, he knew it would do him good.
[ Fwaah!! Thank you for gathering my data human! ]
Oh! The light spots talk!
[ Of course, among all my siblings, I should be the mightiest and strongest..! ]
The light spots burned brighter in pride and Ji Yanyu couldn't help but feel amazed.
[ Well human, you should stop absorbing now.. else you will gather something we wouldn't want– ]
Ji Yanyu paused and listened, however, listening and doing are two different things, most of all since Ji Yanyu unexpectedly realized he couldn't extricate himself from meditation.
A sudden urgency engulfed him as he tried to open his tightly shut eyes, beads of sweat flowed out of his pores as he exerted force.
[ Listen human, calm down! Don't panic, okay? You won't be able to clearly get out of this state if you don't calm down, and I hope you would hurry– ]
Even the dots of light seemed worried as it float all over the place, and surely it didn't help.
Ji Yanyu could only cry at the back of his mind as he tried to calm himself down as much as possible–
– Which took a long time, the spots of light commented with a tinge of discouragement.
When Ji Yanyu managed to open his eyes, the bright moon was already peeking outside.
He could feel his stomach complain from hunger as he tried to stand up to go back to the kitchen and eat the leftover sandwiches he originally planned to eat for lunch.
He thought it would be as difficult as laying down on the cold floor for 2 days but to his surprise, he felt stronger than ever.
Ji Yanyu even thought he could lift a 4 feet tall cabinet with one hand.
[ That's a bit impossible now, human ] A playful and overly familiar voice came from behind that shook the soul out of Ji Yanyu for a second.
He tentatively looked behind and saw a familiar ball of light, though this time it's not only small spots, it's as big as his two palms combined.
"...Aliens were never part of the novel..." Ji Yanyu trembled and murmured unsurely.
Did he.. wear the wrong book? TT
[ ...Human, I'm a system!! The most epic and legendary system personally made by the Lord God! The overseer of all the existing worlds! ]
"...Be honest, am I actually in Minecraft?" Ji Yanyu seriously considered the possibility, after all, there are several worlds involved now.
[ What minecraft? ] The system asked back in confusion but dismissed it.
[ That is not important right now human, you should know how terrible our current situation is, I'm now contracted to you and my energy has reached its very limit ]
Seeing the cute, puffy round light being so serious, Ji Yanyu could only push back his doubts and waited for the so-called system to continue.
[ Human, because you didn't stop absorbing energy earlier, we can only suffer the consequences and that is.. ]
