1 What Kind of Engine for this work On?

I am at a Room It is brightly lit with a lamp at the bedside and some filament tubes at the ceiling. The Room is big and gorgeously decorated with pictures and decrations .The walls are painted blue which gives one a feeling of serenity. It is a Five starred hotel room. I can know this by seeing the Paper which is on the table.

The Hotel name is Blue Ocean which truly is a good name.

I look at my smartphone black screen with a twitching lips as if this is the reason I'm here.

" Ahh..I need to look what is the situation outside and assess it to know my current condition."

I walked up to the window which is at the right side of the bed... I look outside of the window below and found people running away a group of other people like they were in some murderous chase.

The people who were running at front were fear stricken as confused what is going on.

I look down squinting my eyes and saw that the people who were chasing behind were slow on their feet but they were still relentless.

Suddenly one male figure fell down hitting something and I could see him being trampled

by the others. After some time the fallen figure rolled around and stood up with mangled hands which was limping and continued walking joining the chasing crowd.

I saw this scene and I know that I am in an apocalyptic era.

Let's get to how I got here again.

.....

...

....

My Name is Ayaya ,19 year old.. Thought I live a middle class life in this country. Education I have.. Now I am at my college doing business management study. I don't know why I am even studying here. I was since small told that education is necessary to find a job . So I thought I needed to study but after graduation from school I realize it was never enough.

As time went on Expenses would increase and I had to look for a part time job.

I taught tution and work part time in stores. But still enduring on. Family could support me but at a high cost.

Now this year there's a Pandemic. The whole world is infected with a virus.

Work rate dropped and Income dropped. Still we have a government who cut off their own expenses so they could feed the needy.

I am at home during this quarantine. What I am doing is what every other normal adult in Modern world would do.

Work from home..?

Nah Nah..

.

.

It is to play PUBG.

I was playing PUBG. Reaching Ace. An achievement was it?. Actually No, It isn't.

Now Ace players are like a herd of sheeps.

But what I am talking here is not about the game but my mishap. I was playing PUBG while charging the game started with and intense match. All other every player landed in one place . My game crashed and the phone couldn't support it. The overload blew up my charger and I dropped my Phone.

I was scared shitless. Damn My phone... I was scared AF ..I tried to On but it didn't ..I pressed for a long time and finally it switched On but there was no main menu as it was stuck on recovery Mode screen..

The update started coming in.. I was now a bit calm.. Still I look at my charger and cursed my negligence for not taking care of my phone well. I'll never do that ever again.

The update finished after 5 minutes which left me happy.

I look up at the main page screen but I was flabbergasted as to what is this thing.

" Where are all my apps.. And what kind of theme is this.. Oh wait there is one app ...hmm it's an App store.. Well I guess I'll download PUBG again..."

I opened the app store and lots of paid apps were there but nah I am not buying these.. I don't even buy things inside game. Why would I buy these.!

I looked for where the search menu is but I found None.

There was no search menu.

' What do I do now.! Does this thing have any customer service.. Seems like the new update Appstore is fully bugged.'

Amidst this lockdown I don't think I can find any customer care.

Ahh..!

I left the phone to get the spare charger..

I looked around the house to eat something. My mother was watching T.V.. Sister was busy

with Phone..

I look inside fridge took out the butter and spread it on the bread..

Damn why keep the butter in the fridge. It get hard.

I would like to say it loud but I hesitate I'll be scowled.

I went back to my room.. It is small with a bed and a table with books stacked up on one another and clothes hanged on the walls.

No wardrobe.

It just like living in a Storage room.

But still the smaller the room..The comfortable I feel.. Things are most of the time at my hands reach which truly makes an Ideal lazy life.

I look at the phone and a notification popped up.

Limited time free Game.!

Download Now and Play to win Rewards.

I look at the Ad in my notification bar and clicked to see what kind of rewards program it speaks about.

I look at the App. The price was at around 99 GC but it was free for now.

I saw the price and feel like it is a scam or a virus implanting methods.

People nowadays would download weird Apps and their personal information are leaked and all their information get revealed to the one behind the scene.

After that calls would keep on coming disturbing the victim. Telling they won a lottery, or other various methods. Some would be hook.

In this country, People are too naive.. Money does lead people to destruction.

I look at the app description and saw that it provide game coupon code..

I saw this and had second thoughts.

If I get this I can buy the skins and flex or just sell the code to others.. Hahaha.

I look at the app and tapped download. I did not need to worry about my personal information as I don't even have those recorded here.. And if they call me and if its an unknown number I'll just block it.

How much can they persist right.

If you don't give them an opportunity they won't even be able to scam you.

I looked at the download bar it went to 2% then straight to 100%

I just felt that the game was not even fully downloaded. It just went from 2 to 100 in a matter of seconds.

Maybe I need to download the additional files first then it will show its original size.

Ron opened the game and saw the loading screen. It took more than 10 minutes to open the game.

I had the patience because of playing PUBG. Well In last zone it is who has the most patience can survive so I had build up. But 10 minutes was still the most I could hold on.

A game screen showed up showing the title card.

Rules of the Apocalypse World.

Tap to continue

I touched my screen and it took me to a menu.

It told me to give it permission to open the camera so It can take my face picture.

My picture was taken and I was shown the character Interface.

I'm impressed waiting for 10 minutes. This character Interface is so realistic ..

'Ahahahah, My face... Woah , that body.. Quite the nice build. Let me morph my face to suit it.'

Seems I look quite pleasing with that kind of body. I would sign-up for gym soon after this lockdown.

The character Interface is showing me in a empty Room with a whit background.

I was in love with interface and was looking forward to playing this game.

I equipped my character with a black suit from Hitman. Except for not having a bald head.

There were sets of other clothes but they had to be paid with in-game currency known as ZP which I had none. Some free dresses were there so I picked this black suit.

Now let's see the weapon rack..

I look at the weapon selection screen and there was only a crowbar and a baseball bat.

The others were locked and had to be paid.

I reluctantly picked the crowbar and went for gene formula section.

The description says that these are gene formulas. One could buy the recipe but had to collect the ingredients himself and make it.

Only one recipe was free while other had to bought with GC.. I had my confusion as to what GC was but It seems it had its own other system of currency.

After selecting the basic gene enhancing Formula I pressed start.

The Tutorial started playing...I looked at it the graphics were decent..I had no interest and skipped it.

I will see it when I am bored of playing.

The loading screen showed up and I saw the gameplay trailer.

Damn what kind of engine does this work on.

The zombies look so realistic. Even those zombie movies CGI would fail with this game one..

The Loading screen disappeared and some terminal screen showed up in the display.

Log.

Day 1

Saving file ...Check point save...

Loading Save file...

I got excited waiting for the game the next second the screen went black and I got confused..

Where is the promised gameplay....

What a bore... Seems the game crashed.. I dropped the phone on my bed and look at the ceiling...

The ceiling had a filament tube which made me confused for time being..

Was there a filament here in my room.

I jerked up to look left and right and I was shocked to see my surrounding fully changed.

This not not the scene which he had seen a hundred times in a day but it was a lot different. I looked around truly Panicked thinking what happened and then out of a blue a blue screen popped out in front of my vision.

Basic Task.

Collect Edible supplies from the Hotel to survive for a day.

Progress: 0/1

Failure Penalty: Debuff 40% of Host Ability for 24 Hours.

...

I was startled with the things happening around me. I looked at the blue screen.

' Have I acquired Some cheat system or something.'

I sit down to think what was the cause of this. I look at the Phone at the bed picked it up tried to switch it On but it did not Switch On.

I sit down to organise my Thoughts calmly.

Be calm and everything will be fine.

....

GC: Game Coins.

ZP: Zombie Points.
