Leveling Up

When the world ended, it wasn’t with fire or ice—it was with a game notification. One night, humanity wakes up to find reality rewritten into a deadly survival game. Monsters roam the streets, dungeons tear open from the skies, and every human is forced into a player’s role. Except for Ethan Cross, a failed gamer who spent his life mocked for being weak and useless. But when the system awakens, Ethan isn’t just another player— he receives the hidden [Game Master System], giving him the power to set rules, break limits, and bend reality. In this brutal new world where survival is everything, the weak are slaughtered, and betrayal hides behind every smile, Ethan must rise from zero to the ultimate Game Master—or die trying. Level up. Rule the game. Rewrite fate. Because in the apocalypse, the only law is survival.

Silence. Like a nice bucket of shhhhhhhhh. Everyone shut the effing fudge UP! That's all I've ever wanted. *Sigh.* But silence comes in different flavors. There's mint - the peaceful kind that wraps around you like a blanket. The kind I chase at 2 AM. I've cried once. Just once. With a bucket beside me, watching heroes with super suits and impossible strength tear each other apart. Somehow that feels less broken than my reality. Then there's the suffocating silence at school. Not an ice cream flavor. This one tastes like metal and shame. High school is my personal hell. Empty wallet, empty lunch tray, empty seat beside me like I'm radioactive. Empty soul on Wednesdays because middles are always the worst. *The usual.* But Emily made the silence bearable. Mint-flavored again. Until she broke something between us. *Snap.* One moment she's whispering secrets with me, the next she's weaponizing them. She scattered my private thoughts, added her own twisted lies. The betrayal burns hotter than the stares drilling into my back. I went from invisible to spectacle. Being a ghost feels like luxury when you're dodging spit balls and "accidental" lunch trays. But somewhere between my third panic attack and contemplating switching schools... *Something shifted.* Like in those games you play, when your character suddenly glows and the screen flashes: "New Skill Unlocked" And it wasn't just in my head. I tested it. Small things at first – a pencil moving across my desk when I focused hard enough. Then books. Then someone's lunch tray right as they walked past Emily. *tap tap tap* I used to think rock bottom was the end. *Well ladies and gentlemen,* it's just a really messed up spawn point. And now? I don't stumble from cliffs anymore. I swim in gravity, and dive head first.
