Game start

It is currently 8:45 in Manila.

Suddenly we felt an earthquake, the building is trembling for more than a minute. After that, it came to a halt, and I descended beneath the table to see if everything was in order.

When I stood up I also see my colleagues, they are all fine. Including myself there are 7 person, and as I count it's the same as previously.

I can see in their faces the panic, their body can't hide that they are trembling in fear, and I did feel the same. The two girls in the room are becoming unsteady, making pale faces and sweating profusely. Others, on the other hand, are peacefully observing while assisting others.

In my status bar, I can see the symbol content, which is identical to that of a game platform. I can see my name, a short biography, and my status in form of many aspects essential to survive.

I don't get why it show that beside my intelligence that is 50, all of my stats is 1. What kind of nonsense is this? How am I supposed to survive if I'm as weak as a chicken?

I regain my composure and continue reading the information; there are also skill sets visible, and all of the starting packs' skills are locked; it states that skill points are required to open them.

There are total of 5 skills that locked so I read the requirements and the skill information.

Skill one; Strike (A) level

Requirement: mana power above 10 points and mana

10 skill points needed to unlock

Mana power what is that, I slide down to see what my mana power has, as I didn't realize first that there is mana in the stats.

It's unbelievable even my mana power did not even reach the half of mana power needed. However I have that much mana, I have 100 mana but not sure if this is great.

This won't do my stats is weak that I can't even unlock a skill, am I this unlucky. Then I go back to reading the other skill.

15 skill points needed

Fate clearly wants me to die, which is why I'm only allowed to learn a non-offensive skill. But I don't have a choice; I still require their abilities.

My total skill points are 30, thus if I want to have the Analysis and Library skill, I'll need to use 25 of them, leaving 5 points. I'll be able to use it once I've acquired the necessary expertise.

My coworkers are frantically trying to figure out how to reach their loved ones; they are all enraged. They don't know what to do, so they just keep moving and thinking about various thoughts. There is no signal on my phone right now, so I can't use it.

They all decided to leave the room to see what was going on outside and attempt to return home to see their families. But I'm unconcerned about them, so I keep checking my status bar to see what's new.

I was able to acquire the two talents the analysis and library. When I put the analysis to the test, I was pleasantly impressed by what it could accomplish. I looked around the room and came to a conclusion. It explains what the room's current status is, among other things.

Also, I tried out the Library skill, and it's even more amazing: it recognizes every object I see and tells me everything I need to know about it. There is a visualize book that contains all of the information.

I can't rest because I'm still lacking in a number of areas. If this goes on, I won't be able to protect myself. It claims that the game system will rule our lives; but, what good are stats and talents if they aren't used?

That implies I'll have to accept that things will go a lot worse than I can conceive.

Suddenly, a notification arrived, stating that the tutorial would begin right now, as well as a countdown. According to what I've seen, the event is called Survive in One Month, and that the true game will begin after it.

This building, which I am currently in, is located in Tuguegarao, 10 kilometers from the Pinacanauan River. The tutorial's title was Dead Man Eating , and I assumed that the word dead man eating meant zombies.

How can I overcome my current situation, which is far worse than I anticipated? There are still 20 minutes until the event begins, and people are sprinting left and right. This facility is four stories tall, and my only purpose is to gain access to the food store and ensure that no one enters once the event begins.

If I use the analyzer, I'll have a better chance of surviving if I visit the food storage area.

I look at the clock and see that there are still 17 minutes left. I'm in the second level lab, and the storage area is on the first floor. It just takes 10 minutes to get there, but the people in the building are like pigs, running about in circles.

I opened the entrance and began walking towards the food storage, dodging everyone I passed and walking and walking. Finally, I arrived at the room, walked in, and examined the space; there was no one else present. I covered any openings and secured them as much as I could. I also covered the glass window that allows you to see inside the room.

When the time comes, I know who will be the man eating; and all of those 100 corpses in the largest laboratory on the second floor.

The cause of their death is unknown; they just died suddenly, according to the corporation, which believes it was caused by microbes such as COVID-19 in 2019. I recall that 10,000 people had perished, and that all of the bodies were distributed to every hospital, with the majority of the bodies being buried. That is to say, the unknown cause of their death will occur as a result of this.

The event has already begun, and the building's alarm is sounding. I heard a lot of screams and gunfire, and it just kept going. With a steel rod in my hand, I'm preparing to face the only route into the chamber.

My only choice if the zombies get through is to stay in the CR and wait till daylight. I'm quite nervous, and my anxiety is attacking me, and my heart is racing. I took a deep breath and began to scan the place from every angle. I have to make it through whatever comes my way.
