"I don't want to die." Scott thought weakly as he laid on the floor clutching his stomach from severe starvation. It's been 5 days since he last ate or drank anything. Five days ago, a strange phenomenon occurred on earth causing all foods and water to rot including packaged foods. The foods were covered in mold while water turned black.The news had spread like wildfire across the internet, accompanied by countless reports of people dying from starvation.Some desperate individuals had even posted on social media that they were willing to risk drinking the contaminated water. However, none of them had lived long enough to report whether they had survived.He was a successful e-sport player with a growing fan base, making decent money and at the peak of his career. Why did things have to go wrong now?He slowly turned his head towards the kitchen, where black water continued dripping from the faucet. "Should I just take the risk and drink it? At least I'll die with a full stomach."H

Scott looked for a less crowded corner in the room to seat. He glanced around the room and saw some people already discussing and forming groups while others just stayed on their own like him. He had no plan on associating with others. Even during his days as an e-sport player, he is always called out by his coach as a bad teammate. He had always preferred solo matches. Unless he had no choice or it was made compulsory by the system, he didn't plan on teaming up with anyone.He opened the panel and selected Personal Information. The first thing he wanted to do was to set his nickname.He choose the name FAKER since that was the name had always used as an e-sporter.Player: Scott Hart ID: SH-84-19372Nickname: FAKER Status: Severely WeakenedHp: 40/100Backpack storage space: ♾️ Infinite backpack storage.

Scott's stomach growled at the heavenly aroma filling the air. He turned towards the source and spotted an Asian noodle restaurant. It was packed with customers, which was a good indication of how delicious the food might be. Scott entered, and his already starving stomach seemed to come alive at the sight and smell of the food. His stomach growled even louder.Why was he still this hungry despite having taken on another identity? Perhaps the hunger was psychological rather than physical.He found a quiet spot, ordered a large bowl of beef ramen and a bottle of water. A few minutes later, his steaming ramen arrived, the rich aroma making him salivate.The bowl contained generous portions of noodles and large chunks of beef. His first mouthful brought tears of joy to his eyes.God knew how long he had been starving!He ate so quickly that he almost choked. He had to slow down and take a few sips of water before continuing. Still unsatisfied, he ordered another bowl.Only after finishi

Scott came across a video showing several people collapsing to the ground. A few seconds later, their bodies began convulsing violently."Oh my goodness! What's wrong with them?" a woman shouted. "Someone should call an ambulance! We need to get them to the hospital!"She hurried towards a man who was also convulsing, attempting to help him."Sir, are you okay? Can you hear me?"Suddenly, the man stopped convulsing and sprang to his feet. Before the woman could react, he lunged at her and sank his teeth into her neck."Arrrrgh!"The woman screamed, desperately trying to pry him off, but his grip was too strong. He continued biting until he tore a large chunk of flesh from her neck."Are you crazy? Why are you attacking her?" a man shouted.However, the zombie immediately turned towards him and pounced, biting him and tearing another chunk of flesh from his body.Meanwhile, the woman who had been bitten began to convulse, turning into a zombie in just few seconds. She turned, pouncing

Scott drove towards the first pharmaceutical supermarket he had marked on the map. He had already located four major pharmaceutical supermarkets and warehouses, and this was the first one he intended to raid. He parked some distance away, keeping his vehicle out of sight, and carefully observed the surroundings. Four zombies were wandering near the entrance. From their uniforms, they appeared to be former security guards."How am I supposed to deal with four zombies at once?" Scott muttered.He was still a beginner, for God's sake! He had only killed three zombies so far, and now he was expected to face four at once? Unfortunately, the Survival Game wouldn't wait for him to gain experience.Scott looked around and spotted a rock on the ground. An idea immediately came to mind.He picked it up and threw it towards the opposite end of the building.Clang!The sound attracted the attention of the zombies. They immediately turned and staggered towards the direction of the noise. He watch
