Collins and James ran for twenty minutes before they were able to get to their dorm. They ran into their room and locked the door, pushed their bed, and blocked the door. They do not know what was coming but according to that angel, the humans on earth are essentially the plaything of the Gods.
Collins picked up his phone and tried to call his parents again, but he realized that there wasn't any service in his phone network. He began frustrated. James was looking at the time when he suddenly threw his phone away and shouted, "What the hell is going on? Didn't all those pastors and Man of God said during Rapture everyone who is good will ascend to heaven and now we are going to become plaything."
James began to sob "I haven't even sleep with any girl yet, does that mean I'm going to die a virgin." He said mournfully.
Collins was disgusted with James Train if thought as he said, "The entire world is facing a huge problem, and all you are thinking about is you haven't given your first time away?" "What does the world have to do with me? This is my life, except for my family. Who in the world is thinking about me? No one," James said apathetically.Collins shook his head. "Your way of thinking is too shallow," he said.He couldn't be bothered thinking about James, as he knew him well enough. James might be unreliable, but he was a good and loyal friend.When the thirty minutes were up, the entire earth shook, and a light-like meteor flame began to fall on earth, devastating the lands and wiping out both humans, animals, and plants . In the face of such power, the military arms that the human government gathered were meaningless.Portals began to open around the world as energy began to fill up the earth. After the energy settled, the portal began to open. Monster of different shape and size began to pour out of the portal.
When the already panic humans saw these, the fear that enveloped their heart was more than they could bear, some directly died due to heart attack.
Blood filled the street, monsters attacked any humans on sight while the humans were powerless to resist.
Humans hide in their various homes, not daring to come out. The once peaceful and busy streets were now filled with blood and carnage.To make matters worse, the animals on earth, either domestic or wildlife, began to become involved in supernatural beasts. The cockroach and other insects in humans home became bigger and devoured the humans hiding in the home while some humans escaped back to the open where the monsters and ghouls was waiting for them.
Collins and James ran outside also, each holding a kitchen knife; they kept running while avoiding the monster."What the hell? Why are such things happening?" James began to question life at that moment. In the morning, they were happy that today was their last day at school and all the sudden the situation flipped and now they were been chased by insects they could kill with a slap before. The predator has become the prey.
They couldn't run to the streets as it was filled with monsters and ghouls, nor could they run into the forest as the wildlife inside has evolved and become terrifying.In that moment, time stood still, but only humans could move. When Collins and James saw that everything was still, they stopped running and took in a deep breath. The dome of heaven opened once again, but this time it was only one angel that appeared."You denizens of this world have been granted access to the cosmic leveling system by the Supreme Gods to make up for your lack of ability, get stronger, and entertain the Supreme Gods; maybe if you do well, the Gods might make you ascend and become one of their followers. That depends on how much you perform." This angel was different from the first one; there was no sarcasm nor insults in his words.
When the humans heard what the angel said, some was happy at least they now have something to defend themselves against the monsters, ghouls and evolved beasts while some cursed as this wasn't the life they planned but unfortunately, their lives and fate are for the gods to play with.
" There are rules but I'm only going to tell you all one which is whenever there's a main quest in a location, those in that location must participate, that is the most important. As for the rest of the rules, you find out about them yourself; after all, they're not much. Do your best," the angel said playfully and disappeared.At that moment, all humans saw a blue screen floating in front of them.«DING»
«YOU ARE NOW A PLAYER OF COSMIC STREAM SYSTEM»
A mechanical system sound in Collins was heard when a screen appeared before him

Collins saw his status window; he understood that the system was there to make sure they became enough to keep the gods well entertained. At that moment, he hated gods for their selfish and brutal ways. An unimaginable amount of life were lost just to entertain the gods. He vowed in his heart that he was going to make the gods pay for their deeds.The stopped time began to flow again, but this time it was different; the humans now have the system to support them and make them stronger and faster. With the renewed vigor, those humans who desperately wanted to live burst with unknown strength as they teamed together and fought the monsters, ghouls, and evolved animals.Collins and James were no different; they teamed together and began to attack the weaker monsters on sight while avoiding the one that looked far too strong for them.
