The Final Night

The day ended with the sun descending in the distance, Jason remained outside to keep watch for potential zombies but not only that, he spoke to Chronos deeply and understood the origin of Chronos and how the system came to be.

Jason wasn't selected at random, it was the VR headset that he had, he had unknowingly used a fragment of the meteorite to fix a broken one.

This allowed him to use an outdated VR machine to play updated games but this was also the genesis of Chronos.

This was what gave it life to a degree but how Jason could use the meteorite was entirely unknown considering that many had tried and failed.

Jason couldn't believe that he was the one that gave Chronos sentience but he understood that this wasn't a bad thing entirely as it allowed him to survive this apocalypse until now.

Jason wasn't arrogant, he knew that he was alive today because of the choices that Chronos presented to him.
