Is it Wrong to Copy Abilities in Apocalypse?

Chapter 157: CHAPTER 156 - A Slap from the Reality.



[Quest Window:

→ Main Scenario 3 [02:23:59:59]

→ Bounty Quest 2 [00:00:01:59]

]

Alex glanced at the quest window once, staring at it for a second before he decided to move toward his designated zone.

The thing that was the source of almost every human's terror right now, wasn't anything great in Alex's eyes.

He didn't even need the three days that were provided, as he was sure that he could get himself ready for the next scenario in just two days, but an extra day wasn't really bad.

He might even get his stats up to the limit of the current scenario in one day, but he would have to work really hard for that, and he would need himself to be at his peak—with his leg back to how it used to be.

So, for now, he just wanted to complete the sponsor quest, as that would help him more in this situation.

The other humans, on the other hand, didn't really take this thing lightly.

All of them had thought that they would be given more time than the ones before; after all, that was what it seemed from the way the time limit kept increasing for every quest.

What they forgot to notice was the fact that they hadn't even gone through a high number of quests to be able to guess the pattern.

The humans had been happy about the fact that they had at least crossed the limit of the first scenario before the second scenario started—it was something they were proud of.

They thought that by the time the third scenario started, they would have their stats crossing the second scenario's limit, unaware that it would amount to nothing.

[Risabh: W-What would we do if we had to fight a beast with level 20+ stats in the next scenario...?]

[Kritika: Maybe we can still make it if we work really hard...]

[Rithvik: T-The system is being too much! Can't she make out what kind of situation the humans are in right now? Didn't the rule say something about nothing being impossible?!]

[Azhar: @Rithvik, The system isn't to blame here, so be aware of what you say lest the system somehow get the news of what you are saying.]

[Akash: @Rithvik, What @Azhar said is true; the system never broke the rule and it gave you all a chance to get up, but you all just relaxed, enjoying the relief you got. You all forgot that this was an apocalypse, not a time where you can relax.

The rules say that nothing is impossible, but it never says that everything is going to be easy, did it?] -read-first

[Rithvik: @Akash, Fucker, you think you are some bigshot? Blabbering whatever you want to and not even including yourself in the category.

You are in the same boat; you are also human, and you are going to die just like me when the next scenario arrives!]

[Akash: @Rithvik, I never said that I wasn't a human; I am a human, and I know that the system isn't something I can face right now, but unlike you fools, I fought and killed a lot of beasts, gaining myself more than enough coins to have my stats upgraded to level 15.

So no, I'm not going to die in the next scenario, as I would be stronger by then, and I will work harder from now on.]

[....]

[Prakash: He's right, not everyone wasted their time; there are many people who knew that this world was not the place to relax but a place where one is forced to despair about every single wrong decision, so not everyone is in a bind right now.

But yes, many are going to die in the next scenario if they don't work day and night to get more and more coins.]

[Krish: I'm already a level 17 human, yet I try my hardest to not rest more than compulsory, but I have seen people making love in the jungle as if they were on a picnic!

This is not a vacation, for fucks sake! This is an apocalypse! People are dying everywhere, and you want to fuck each other! Are you for real?!]

[Ridhima: Same here; I even got proposals during my time teaming up with some guys, and I was like, 'What the hell? How could you guys even have the thought of getting into a relationship at a time like this?'

And now they blame the system for being harsh. Smh.]

[Hardick: I am a level 7 human, and I am looking for people to team up with me to clear the level 10 zone in area ABC! Please DM me if you are interested!]

[Surbhi: I am a level 4 human, but I am beautiful, and I have some really good moves that could satisfy you at night; I can even give you a demo in the DMs or maybe in real life, but for that, you will have to give me coins!]

[Ridhima: @Surbhi, Have some decency, girl; try to fight for your coins or just fie with honor, at least don't sell yourself!]

[Surbhi: Fuck yourself, @Ridhima; I ain't asking anything of you, so mind your own business. I know what I need to do to survive.]

Alex, who saw and read every chat, expecting something useful, just shook his head at how unproductive the chat was for him.

As for what he thought about the chat going on? Well, his thoughts were simple: If you want to survive, you will have to fight for it, as in the apocalypse, even surviving was a race.

He had seen many things in the chats; he even saw people selling their family members now, at a time when they saw no other choice in front of them.

They were selling the same people they were ready to die for when the apocalypse started, and the thing to note was that the apocalypse hadn't even been on earth for a long time; it started on the 11th, and today was the 22nd—11 days exactly.

In just this small time frame, the humans had turned into something they would never want to.

Alex even saw some people mentioning his name; they were saying something like they should grab the thighs of the rich, and Alex, who was again on the top of the bounty list, became the first target.

Alex, however, didn't care about it much.

Right now, he was about to reach the zone he had decided to clear, so he just upgraded his stats, not wanting to take any risks.

He pushed his stats up to level 25 in one go, taking a large chunk of his coins away from the stock, leaving him with nothing more than a few thousand, around 7 thousand to be exact.

Getting a single stat from 20 to 21 needs 700 coins, then 21 to 22 requires 740, the next upgrade takes away 780 coins for every stat, and so on.

This was how fast the coins go out of stock, and the moment Alex's coins lowered was the moment Alex's ranking did the same, getting pushed to rank 12.

This meant that there were 11 people who had 7k+ coins—which was a good thing, as this showed that there were still some humans trying to do their best to survive the apocalypse.

But the next second, Alex frowned as he saw a barrage of notifications flashing past his eyes.
