With only 5 minutes on the clock, I have to think fast. 'Ok but what am I supposed to do', I don't want to waste my energy on dealing with him, but I also don't think I wanna die.
The plan, throw things at him until he gives up and gets mad enough to chase me. So far all I've got on me is my purse, which is a huge no no and one of my shoes. He is now cornering a young girl probably 15 with a huge menacing smile. 'Ugh this is a pain in the butt' I think as I go through the dead bodies on the floor. It feels wrong touching these dead people but I don't have enough time to care.
I quickly yank off shoes and grab anything else that might be heavy before immodestly throwing it at the man. He was strangling the girl but I hit him right in the head 'Bullseye!'. He turns to look at me seeming furious but I simply throw another shoe. He lets go of the girl who drops to the floor on her knees gasping for air.
The man looks so pissed and angry It's like he's seeing red. It seems my provocation worked because he starts making his way towards me picking up the pace the farther he goes.
I'm not scared, I know I can take him on so I simply smirk at him to get him even more riled up. He reaches me in a few quick strides and gives me a sinister smile. He winds up his right arm to punch but I already anticipated it and threw a quick right hook hitting him square in the jaw.
He quickly goes out to grab me but I sidestep him and instead yank on his beard pulling him to the floor. He stumbles but catches himself fairly quickly "you little -" he doesn't finish his sentence because in the next second I deliver a perfect round kick hitting him right in the solar plexus causing him to gasp air. I continue attacking him not giving him a chance to breathe before finally backing away to see the damage I have done.
I can see places bruises might form if he survives and blood trailing down his nose and mouth. It seems I managed to split his lip and take out a couple teeth. Did him a favor anyway, did no one tell him to get braces as a kid.
He's so caught up in his fury that he doesn't even realize he's seconds away from his death. The timer is almost running out and he doesn't even know it. 'That's not good, I want to see his expression when he realised he's about to die' I think with mock sadness. He's glaring at me fiercely but I simply subtlety point to his right side assuming that's where his screen is and his eyes follow my movements and come face to face with his screen.
It's almost comical how he looks because you can tell the exact moment he realises he's screwed. His eyes go wide like saucers and he's starting to tremble a bit. I can't help the chuckle I let out at seeing his expression.
The time is tick and soon enough there's only 10 seconds left. I can see him start to scramble looking desperate, a huge contrast to his earlier expression.
It's so entertaining to watch someone who knows their about to die. I count down with the system and hold my fingers up in a mocking gesture "3. 2. 1…"and in the next second his eyes go so wide you'd think they were going to tear his skin off and rip out of his face. Then he drops to the floor with a loud thump along with a few others that could be heard in the train.
I look around to see the following survivors and find a good amount of people. I'm shocked to see a mother and two children still alive but I guess they understood that you gotta do what you gotta do to survive in this world.
The next second the blue screen pops up again with a new message.
[Congratulations on surviving! You are now the one of the millions of your species that have survived. In order to remain balance in the world you will be gifted with a power. You will have the opportunity to grow stronger and gain more powers if you survive. Everyone will be granted the choice to randomly pick 2 powers out of all the existing ones. These will be your main powers and for your species, impossible to gain any others. You may gain side powers but this main power is your pillar. No 2 powers are ever the exact same, there is always some variation. Now choose these 2 powers wisely as they will be the deciding factor on whether you survive or die. You will have to play along with the game and achieve certain tasks. Some people might have hidden tasks aimed to break a team apart. Have fun exploring this new world!]
In front of me 10 cards facing back were floating in place. It seems I have to pick 2 of these that will permantely mark me. 'Sound interesting enough'. All around me people are pressing in front of them and I can't help the surge of excitement coursing through my veins 'Oh I can't wait how much fun this will bring me'.
I look at the ten cards in front of me, each of them has a almost identical pattern but if you look closely enough there is a difference. Im guessing there is different strengths to each power and will assume this 'system thing' will want people to get weaker cards. They probably will have placed those cards in the places people most likely will pick first if they weren't to analyze it like me. They probably think it's just chance and random but don't realise that the choice they make is actually calculated and can be found out through probability. On all the most probable places the marks are all the same. The least likely places all have different marks.
Deciding to trust my gut I pick 2 cards from areas that don't have the same marks.
