A Supreme Being is unsatisfied with Earth's evolutionary progress and decides interfere, throwing the planet into hell. Follow Bennett as he tries to not only survive, but thrive in this familiar yet different world.
[Humanity has failed to evolve on their own; the Supreme One will now assist your evolution. You are in his debt.]
The message flashed across every man, women and child's vison on earth. For a moment the world seemed to stop. A moment later another message appeared.
[Phase One: Weed out the Weak]
Around the world, people who were over the age of 65 and under the age of 5 transformed into zombies, attacking their once loved ones and anyone around them. These zombies had insatiable hunger and instantly attacked everyone nearby.
People that had a disability were also transformed into these zombies. In less than a minute over 3 billion people had been transformed into zombies and the number was on the rise. That wasn't the end though. Monsters started coming out of the ground and some came from the sky. It truly was hell on earth.
_______
Bennett was laying on his back enjoying the warmth of the sun when the message appeared in his vision.
'Weed out the weak?'
Looking around Bennett didn't see anything out of the ordinary so he shrugged his shoulders and closed his eyes again.
*Crack*
A loud crack made Bennett get up quickly. Looking around he found a meter long fissure in the ground. What scared the shit out of him was the small black creature crawling out of the fissure. It was short, little over a meter tall. It looked a lot like the fictional goblins you see in fantasy stories.
In shock, Bennett hardly moved out of the way as the goblin ran at him swinging a wooden club. The club brushed his thigh, causing some pain.
It's quick! I need a weapon.
Bennett quickly looked around for a weapon. Where he was laying was a flat patch a grass with not even a stick for him to swing. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a rock the size of his first.
His eyes lit up. The rock was close no more than 3 meters but the goblin was in between them.
The goblin screeched and attacked Bennett again. Jumping sideways, he evaded the attack before sprinting towards the rock. Ben could hear the goblin behind him so grabbing the rock he turned around and smashed it into the goblins face.
The goblin screamed in pain, grabbing his face with both hands, dropping the club. Ben quickly lifts the rock above his head and smashes down on the goblin. Again and again Bennett smashes the goblin until he can no longer lift his arm.
Where the head should be is nothing but meat paste. Bennett falls back on his butt and takes a couple deep breaths, steadying himself.
While Bennett tried to steady himself, a small light floated out of the goblins corpse and flew into Bennett's chest.
"What the hell!" Bennett yelled while grabbing at his chest.
*Ding *
A soft ding was heard in his head.
[You have leveled up. Open status now.]
"S-status?"
A screen like you would find playing a video game appeared before Bennett.

Bennett silently looked at his stats. He had regained his composure from killing the goblin and was now calmly assessing the situation.
Could they give me a little more information?
[Tutorial activated.]
Bennett wore a shocked looked on his face. He didn't think they could hear his thoughts. Bennett quickly read through the tutorial that was provided for him.
Taking a deep breath and letting it out Bennett closed the status screen.
The tutorial explained lots. Basically an almighty being was tired of how slow humanity was evolving so it placed creatures called Nether Beasts onto earth. The Nether Beast can take any form but the 'almighty being' made them take form of monsters from human cultures. These monsters carried a special energy that would help us evolve. It wasn't just Nether Beasts that had Bennett worried. The tutorial said that the 'supreme one' blessed not only the humans with a chance to evolve, but all living beings.
Not only can humanity get stronger but also animals and insects.
Great, going to be fighting giant ass bugs.
They also set up this game like status for us because, their exact words were, 'we don't want to confuse you stupidly simple humans'.
What assholes.
It also explained what the stats represented.
Vitality was the life force of the body. It controlled the toughness and the healing speed of the body. Someone with high vitality could resist most attacks and heal quickly when injured.
Strength and agility were obvious. The former controlled how much power you were able to create while the latter was the speed at which you could move.
Dexterity controlled your reflexes and flexibility. The body would be able to react faster, whether to dodge or attack.
Intelligence and wisdom had to do with magic which fascinated Bennett. Intelligence increases your mana with allows you to cast spells. It also can decrease the amount of time you need to cast a spell. Wisdom allows you to regenerate mana more quickly and increases your understanding of spells.
So it is like an RPG game? Easy enough.
Reaching down and grabbing the goblin's club, Ben took a few practice swings. Use to the weight, he started walking back towards his house. He saw one more goblin lurking around the tree surrounding his house. Crouching down behind a bush, Ben debated whether to kill it or avoid it.
Steeling himself, Ben decided to kill it. He understood that power would be everything in this new world and killing monsters was the way to gain that power.
Slowly approaching the goblin from behind, Ben came within 5 meters of it before sprinting towards it and swinging the club at the goblins head.
*crack*
A sickening crack was made as the club hit the goblins head, killing it instantly. Before he could feel proud of himself, a loud howl was heard close to the house.
"Duke!" yelled Bennett before sprinting towards the house.
