Is it Wrong to Copy Abilities in Apocalypse?

"M-Mother…. that's you, right?"

A guy spoke as he walked toward an undead with slow steps.

"Garrh…"

The reply he received was just a growl, but to him, that was the best answer there could be.

"I knew it!"

He beamed as he went ahead and pulled his 'mother' into a tight hug.

However, the next second, he felt a piercing pain on the side of his neck, but before he could realize what happened...

*Tear*

"ARGHHHHHHHHH!"

He pushed away his 'mother' and then he saw it.

The thing he was calling his mother was now lying on the ground with a chunk of his flesh in her mouth.

"W-What…? Blood??"

The guy saw blood flowing down from his neck and he started panicking.

His heartbeat rose and he started hyperventilating, but before anything else could happen, he saw his 'mother' standing right in front of him with his blood still leaking from her mouth.

"M-Mother?"

He voiced out with some hope in his voice, but….

"Growlll!"

His 'mother' jumped on him with a hungry growl.

"Nooo!!"

The guy tried to run away, but he found himself unable to leave her grip, his vision started blurring, his body started relaxing, and his mind started to go numb.

"Poison-"

The last thing that left his mouth was 'poison', but that too was cut short as his 'mother' bit his mouth off with her jaw.

.........…..

Alex who was holding Gulshan by the shoulder let go of him.

"That thing is the same."

Alex pointed at the undead in front of them, the same undead that Gulshan was calling his son.

Gulshan was not a fool, he realized that as well, and it was not only him, every villager realized that.

But they were still in a stupefied state.

"He… me, my son…. Not he…."

Gulshan started speaking gibberish, his mind was not working like it was supposed to be.

He loved his son a bit too much, so these ups and downs in the emotion were too much for him.

Alex then turned to look at Misty and all he saw was a broken and horrified girl, staring at the air or the system screen as she fell on her knees.

'Sigh….'

Alex sighed inwardly.

"This will clear my life debt on you…."

Alex muttered as he pointed his pistol at the incoming undead.

He stared at it for a while, before he pressed the trigger.

Gulshan just stared at all of this dumbly.

The tutorial said that he had to kill an undead, but he couldn't kill his own son.

So, when he saw what Alex was going to do, he didn't stop him.

'I guess it's for the better….'

Gulshan closed his eyes and sighed inwardly.

He was in denial, but he was no fool.

He had realized that these undead were not real people, he just didn't want to accept it.

Now, after Alex kills the undead, the one that is his dead son, then maybe this time, he might really let go of his son.

He might be able to let go, and not wait in hope that his son might return one day.

But just then…

*Click*

The baam sound that was supposed to be heard was not there.

Instead, a clicking sound was heard.

Alex frowned his brows, and Gulshan did the same.

'Wasn't that thing supposed to make a loud noise?'

Alex was confused as well, so he reloaded the gun again.

*Click**Click*

But the result was still the same.

Just then…

[Uh-uh, no modern weapon can be used in the game.

From this day on, no modern weapons are allowed, unless, until they are from the system.]

Alex stared at the system avatar floating up in the sky and it stared back at him with a smile, but even though her smile looked cute, Alex knew that her intentions were anything but adorable.

Alex shook his head at this loss.

Alex was very good with pistols, and taking them away was like crippling him, but he was still fine.

'No one can use a gun.'

After all, it was not just him, everyone will face the same problem.

However, in the corner of his head, he had a thought that maybe this system was just something limited to this area.

It wasn't that he loved the civilized world, not at all, that world was like a collar, it would keep people safe, but they would be bound by it as well.

He would rather want an apocalypse, but his rational thinking made him think of that possibility.

'We'll see…'

In the end, Alex decided not to think too much about it and threw the pistol aside.

He glanced at Misty, who was now looking at him with some hope in her despair-filled eyes before he rushed at the undead with his blade ready to cut some flesh.

.........…..

"Hmm, he can already use his abilities, even without knowing the details, he's someone I should keep an eye on…"

Alex didn't know that the thing he didn't want was already happening.

The system was observing Alex, and unlike her attitude that Alex had seen, right now she was as serious as she could be, her face didn't carry any expression as if she was a robot without any emotion.

The system right now had the same looks as the one Alex saw, but the surroundings were completely black.

Not a speck of light was there, and it felt like all the light in that place was absorbed by that darkness.

The only source of light in that place was her sparkling multicolored hair and ornaments.

'There's that guy from America as well, he needs to know his place…'

The system muttered to herself.

'Controlling the game system for the whole planet is really... Annoying.'

And again, another thing Alex predicted turned out to be wrong.

From her words alone, it was easy to tell that the game was being played by the whole world, and she alone was controlling it.

But why did she find it annoying?

'These mortals!'

The system screamed inwardly as she killed another human in some country.

He tried to make a move on her young body the moment he saw her, and his intentions couldn't be clearer.

'Disgusting things…'

The system muttered before she snapped her finger.

The next second, ten more of her appeared out of nowhere.

She didn't look at them, she didn't speak to them, and neither did she order them to do anything.

The 10 of them waved their hands at the same time, none of them spoke a word and just like that, they vanished.

"Omnipresence sure is convenient…"

The system muttered before she enlarged the small screen that showed Alex rushing toward the undead with black hair and golden eyes.
