Awakening Rise of the Elemental Spirit

Nothing.

I felt nothing, I never had any meaning in life. In school, I was always at the top of my class, they thought I lived the best life and would have an amazing job in the future but my family was poor and I couldn even make it to the 9th grade.

At 14 I had to start my first part-time job to make money to support my family, my dad left us and I had to take care of my ill mother and 3-year-old brother. I was working at DoorWall as a cashier for 2-years until I got my first raise to $6 an hour making $18 a day.

3 years later I became a Customer Service Representative making $530 a month. Thats when I could pay for my mothers medicine, back then she was on the verge of dying.

After a few months, I was able to pay for my brothers school fees. My mother was recovering slowly and things started to get better. My mother went back to her job after a year, I was able to quit my job and self-study.

I wanted to be a mechanical engineer, my mom was a photographer and mostly took pictures of nature and sold them to people online. Surprisingly, people bought these pictures for a lot of cash.

We were able to pay all our debts and we moved into a new apartment. We were all nourished, my mother was beautiful, she had waist-long blond hair, round spectacles and a body any man would want.

I looked like a younger version of her but without glasses and brunette hair. My brother looked like a male version of me but younger and some baby fat.

After 4 years of hard work, I got my bachelor of engineering. I got a job at a company and got a well-paying salary. Life was getting better.

My moms now 45 and slowly gathering wrinkles. She was thinking of not working anymore, but I told her that she still had many more years to go.

At work, I met a nice guy, he was handsome and got along with me. We started going out together and he treated me like I was a princess. In my heart, I knew he was the one.

{Current Day}

I woke up feeling energetic knowing something special was going to happen. It was 6 oclock and I woke my brother up so he can get ready for school.

When we were both ready I quickly packed some lunch for work, ”Mom, we
e going out! ” I said. ”Drive safe! ” she replied. I dropped Matt, my brother, at school ”Be here at 3 on the dot. ” I told him, ”I will, ” he said with an annoyed tone, Im sure he says it like that because I tell him this every morning.

I arrived at work at 8 oclock on the dot. and met up with Josh, my boyfriend. ”Wait up! ” I screamed while panting. ”Oh, I never saw you, sorry, ” he said while scratching his head.

We entered the building and started chatting about our weekends.

[Survive for a day and win the Apocalypse System] a female monotone voice said in my head.

Suddenly the lights went off and it was pitch black, it was like we were in the building at night.

We heard the screams of people outside and some monstrous screeches. We rushed to the window and saw some inhumane beings eating the flesh of people. My heart stopped beating for a second, the sight was so grotesque.

”L-lets go to the top floor and hide. ” I stuttered, I was traumatised by the picture stuck in my head. ”NO, ” Josh said, ”Stay here youll be safe. ” I listened to his command because he was the person I trusted most.

”Im going to look for a weapon so I can keep us safe. ” I trusted him, I knew he wouldn betray me, hes shown me so much love. I took out my phone and tried to call my mom but she never answered. I prayed that she and my brother were safe.

The screams outside were even louder, I tried to keep calm and ignore them but they just kept on going on. I heard a gunshot.

Pain.

Someone had shot me. Maybe they missed and accidentally hit me, its fine I can just go to the hospital.

”I missed. ” I heard a familiar voice say. ”Josh, ” I said with a surprised tone. ”Why? Why why why? ” I asked, ”Why are you doing this? ”

”So I can live, ” he said, ”If I never did this you would have killed me. ” I was losing blood. I couldn think properly and felt like I would pass out at any time. ”I-I would never do that. ”

My vision was turning black and I saw a blue screen saying Successfully Finished Quest in front of him.
