Ch. 8

They had stopped in a small hut for the night after a certain somebody found out it took a lot of concentration to hold up ice in air.

'Look what happened to the strong and mighty superhero after ten minutes.'

An exhausted Morocco smiled meekly and laughed in embarrassment, scratching his head.

Out of habit, He unknowingly took out his phone for distraction and gasped. 'Oooh, look at that! League of legends is still working!!'

'Ha ha, no one will ever beat you when it comes to league of legends.'

A pause.

'Well, ok, the internet is still on! So was there really an apocalypse? Y' know wifi is supposed to be down after that right? '

Speak of the devil,

[Ding! System has received common knowledge of world, world will progress like this. If interested, please check mail in profile!]

' So you're saying that this system... didn't know anything about this world until a minute ago... '

' Well it was born yesterday...'

Laughter echoes around the hut and a comfortable silence settles.

'... By any chance did it not study geology?'

'Why geology though?'

'Because no matter how you look at it, air doesn't freeze. We should've died earlier on the mountain, don't you get it?'

'...'

'...'

[Ding! System has received word of <gravity> mechanism, <gravity> shall not affect users actions, but can be used in attacks and to their advantages.See more in mail.]

'Ok, maybe we should take a look at this mail thing... It's getting annoying.'

[You have opened mail]

In the "mailbox", there were two notifs.

One was <gravity > and the other was <common knowledge of world and a TWIST!!!>

'What's with the second title?' Morocco laughs.'Anyways...' He taps on the <gravity> notif.

[<gravity>

Dear users,

System has aquired knowlege on thing like [currency] [common sense] [primary and secondary subjects].

For the upcoming apocalypse, gravity will not affect users when they fly or jump really high, it also applies when users have special equipment.

[currency]

System has encountered many people trying to trade things. Therefore, currency is established. Currency will be called [white coins]. Use of currency:trading, buying stuff from shop(will not unlock until one month later).

[White coins]

Will drop from zombies and monsters according to said zombie.

WARNING!!!:Zombies do not have rank as system is lazy as ass～

[common sense]

System will allow internet to continue working as superpower users need to search theories and other stuff on the internet. People with other magic can also see internet.

Another thing, there will be no [health] [mana] [proeficiency] in status panel. You will use your own ways to expand your control, system doesn't care~

WARNING!!! :Do not randomly trust people on the internet as it MAY BE A SCAM!!!

[common sense]

We need food and water to survive. Yes this is common sense.

Unfortunately, physics has stopped working. E.g. You can now put a boulder in you pocket.]

Morocco stares in desblief as the system crumbles his everyday beliefs. Well, no mana for him, it proved this was still reality...

He turns to Caroline who is scanning the other mail. She looks very excited. If she had a tail, it would be wagging by now.

'Whoah, whoahh, check this out!' she says, with a grjn on her face.

'What? What is it?' asks Morocco. 'So um, apparently, our powers work according to a bit of science and a bit of imagination...

You uh- like fire powers users need to fuel the passion in their hearts and shove it out into their palms, preferably in a place with Oxygen.

And yes, fire takes oxygen to burn. And it's hot. This is because of the newly added thing by system, common sense.

Wait, does that mean fire didn't take oxygen to burn before the system found out about common sense? '

Both the superpower users were bent over and laughing now. This system was a newbie at this, just like them!

' o-hahaha- ok. Hahaha, ehem. Anyways, lemme try out my ice magic. According to science, ice is a solid so I... visualise the ice object I want to make and have it crystalise... ?'

Apparently, Morocco had been thinking about an ice spear because the next moment, an very small ice spear that actually looks more like a dart shoots through the air. "poof".

' Holy shiIT!? "

The sharp shard has crashed into the floor and shattered like glass.

'What? Hey, hey what happened??' Caroline asks the stunned Morocco, who is staring into nowhere, concern coloring her voice.

'... I could feel my mental ability...'

'what?'

'When I grabbed the spear, there was this insane moment when I could like feel the ice magic.' says Morocco with a frown. 'To me, it feels like I don't have enough practice...Otherwise, I could have made a much sturdier spear.

Another thing, I could instinctivly feel that the mental space is tender and fragile. So make sure to take a good look at yours when you get the chance.'

'According to the anime I watch, mentality is probably easy to attack. If we don't set up shields, we are unguarded. Like now, we could be attacked or lured, or controlled...'

As Caroline begins to blabbler about mentality, Morocco, tired out and sleepy from the usage of ice magic, falls asleep.

'... Morocco?... Morocco? Oh well, I guess it is pretty late. Mph, g'night Morocco... '

' No... S... No.. T... Enough c.... ontrol.. Of m-magic'

Morocco tiredly says as he realizes how weak his mental power is.

Unfortunately, the two did not realize they would soon have to face one terrible thing. The death of their families.
