Lord of Monsters in the apocalypse

In the blink of an eye, the entire world underwent a seismic shift, triggered by a heedless scientist's inadvertent creation of a portal leading to an alternate dimension. This rift heralded the arrival of formidable beings known as Mutants, who initially displayed an inclination towards peaceful exploration of Earth, with intentions to return to their home planet. However, an unfortunate turn of events saw some Mutants succumb to madness, instigating a devastating conflict with humanity. In their desperate bid to resist, the human race quickly discerned the futility of their weaponry against the formidable powers wielded by the Mutants. As the precipice of defeat loomed, a handful of benevolent Mutants, distanced from the upheaval, opted to bequeath their powers unto humankind, ultimately aiding them in prevailing against their adversaries. With the conflict concluded, the world transitioned into an era where one's Mutant ranking became the linchpin determining their identity and shaping their future. Amidst this transformed landscape stood a young man named Xiao Yang, a victim of the chaos that had laid waste to his world. He embarked on an enigmatic quest, which, upon its completion, granted him access to a system. This system presented him with peculiar tasks, instrumental in his ascent towards greater strength and proficiency. However, one fateful day, Xiao received a disconcerting notification:[WARNING: YOUR SOUL POINTS ARE DEPLETING] [TO REPLENISH POINTS, CONSUME A HUMAN SOUL] [-1 SOUL POINT PER HOUR UNTIL A SOUL IS CONSUMED]

Mutant System

  Xiao Yang slowly began to regain conciousness as his eye lid lifed open.

  "Ugh, what happened" Xiao said as he stood up from the ground and glanced around the room.

  The last thing he could remember was him defeating the metalic bot , and then he blacked out.

  'Where did the doll go?' Xiao thought with a confused look as he noticed the doll was no longer in the room.

  'How long was i asleep? And what the heck was that screen i saw earlier?' Immediately Xiao thought about it, thesame window screen from earlier pop up

  Xiao stared at the status screen infront of him with a look of confusion and disbelieve.

  ' what the hell is this?' Xiao thought rubbing his chin while examining the screen from top to bottom.

  ' Is this the reward for defeating the doll? It looks like like those games and system those main character usually have in novels' That was Xiao's thought as his eyes moved around the screen.

  'If its like those novels then i should have skills and attributes right?' Xiao thought and the current screen changed to a whole new one.

  'So it truly is like those rpg novels' Xiao thought as a smile appeared on his face.

  'Skills and abilities' Xiao was now getting how it works so he called out in his mind.

  'Time freeze sounds cool,but the number of soul point required for use is too high, and just for two seconds? What the hell is a soul point to begin with' Xiao thought as he rubs his chin 

'But why only one Ability? Maybe if i level up i'll unlock more Abilities. I think the universe just sent me a gift'

  Never have any human used a Mutant ability without the Skill coin and Skill slot.

  The scientist who creates the equpiments made it clear that human body couldn't handle the raw Mutant power energy.

  If one was to bestow the power on him or herself directly, it'll only lead to death.

  And also , every Skill Slot shouldn't have more than one Slot. Meaning you get to use only one mutant ability of your choice.

  While the Skill Slot and coin is further graded into 6 Ranks. Silver,Gold,Platinum,Diamond,Heroic,and Masters.

  Silver being the lowest,while Masters the highest.

  Most skill slots begins with a silver rank,then it's up to the user to rank it up. While some rich people chose to purchase a higher ranked slot to save their time.

  If a person comes from an affluent family , then it's guranteed the person will get a high ranked skill slot.

  But the poor are left with scraps and ruins.

  Xiao on the other hand just got something that doesn't need  a skill slot or coin to use an ability. It's all programmed in the system.

  Maybe that's why the Mutant never shared his ability to the public, he knew the wrong person might get his or her hands on it.

  That's why he created the game and the worthy opponent shall come out victorious

  Xiao stood there scrolling through the status screen until a new screen pop up again

  'Ten pushups? ' Xiao's eye balls neary fell down from his sockets 

  'I don't even know how to do two let alone 10' Xiao lamented. 

  'But atleast there's a reward, exp. If truly this is like those online novels, then once i hit 100 exp i'll level up to level 2 and maybe unlock an ability or two' Xiao thought with amazement about his theory.

  His joy diappeared when he caught a glimpse of the warning given if he failed to carry out the tasks.

Kachum!

  The entrance door of the room opened snapping Xiao out of his daydream , and a girl walked in.

  She had sporting blonde hair that reached her waist and a nice body every guy would call 'hot'. Her name was Mei Zhu 

  Xiao on the other hand totally forgot where he was or what day it was. He was too focused on the system that he forgot to check time on his cube.

  "Err..who are you?" Xiao asked as he scratches the back of his neck. Xiao has always been the shy type when it comes to talking to ladies or associating with people, he just likes staying on his own.

  But people won't just let him 'stay on his own' , they just push him around and bullies him.

  "What do you mean?" Mei replied with a question. 

"I come here everyday" Mei added.

  "Err..isn't it a little too late? Its past midnight you know" Xiao said with a nervous laugh.

  Mei took her time to examine Xiao from head to toe , trying to figure out if he's high on jelly weed.

  "What do you mean? It's one in the morning" said Mei with a baffled look.

  "Huh?" Xiao quickly took out his small cube from his back pocket and checked the time and date.

  'I was asleep for three days?' He thought with a surprised and worried look.

  "I haven't been down here for sometime brcause i had stuffs to take care of, i just decided to give it a shot today" Mei added noticing the strange boy infront of her was lost in thoughts.

  'Darn it, i haven't carried out Liu's assignment let alone report back to him. Sh*t he's going to kill me' Xiao thought as he dashed out of the room with fear written all over his face.

  "What a weirdo" Meishook her head as he turned her head to face the doll and start the level.

  But to her greatest surprise, the doll was no longer there.

  ' i thought no one can move the doll outside unless the level is completed, but there's nothing here'  Mei thought as she searched the room.

  'Does that mean that strange boy completed the level?' That was Mei's thought
