Multiverse System: Rebuilding Humanity

Noah's apartment was quiet, the kind of silence that felt almost unnatural in the heart of the city. The faint hum of the refrigerator and the occasional creak of the building were the only sounds accompanying him as he lay on his bed. The room was dimly lit, the soft glow of the bedside clock illuminating the time: 10:57 PM.

He closed his eyes, his breathing steady but shallow. Sleep had been fleeting these past few days—too much anticipation, too much preparation. But tonight, he allowed himself a brief rest, knowing full well it might be the last moment of peace he would have for a very long time.

Noah stirred in his bed as his mind replayed the countless preparations he had made over the past two years. His inventory was packed with food, weapons, and essentials. His stats were at a level most people could only dream of, thanks to the System. And yet, despite all of this, a knot of unease tightened in his chest.

Am I truly ready for this? he wondered. The System had given him an edge, but even with it, the apocalypse would be chaotic and unforgiving.

His hand instinctively reached for the small notebook on the bedside table—a list of contingency plans and fallback points. He didn't need to open it; the plans were etched into his mind.

His heart beat couldn't clam down The alarm buzzed softly, but noah was already awake. He glanced at the clock. 11:00 PM.

The room was bathed in a faint blue hue from the city lights filtering through the curtains. He swung his legs over the side of the bed and sat up, rubbing his face with both hands.

He walked to the window, pulling the curtain aside slightly. The city was still alive, lights twinkling in the distance, cars moving along the streets, and people enjoying their New Year's Eve celebrations. Fireworks occasionally burst in the night sky, painting it in vibrant colors.

They have no idea what's coming, he thought, a flicker of sadness passing through him.

He sighed as noah moved to his desk, turning on the lamp. A large wall clock ticked steadily, its hands creeping closer to midnight. He poured himself a glass of water from a bottle he'd stocked earlier that day, sipping it slowly as he watched the seconds tick by.

His System interface flickered in the corner of his vision, a constant reminder of the power he held. He opened it briefly to double-check everything:

Stats: locked

Inventory: Fully stocked, categorized, and organized.

Shop: Locked

Everything was in place. All that was left to do now was wait.

...

At 11:59 PM, noah leaned back in his chair, his fingers drumming on the desk. Outside, the sound of cheering and laughter grew louder as the city prepared to welcome the New Year. Fireworks began to intensify, illuminating the night sky in bursts of red, gold, and blue.

He stared at the clock, the second hand crawling toward the 12.

10 seconds...

The cheers outside turned into a collective countdown.

"Nine... eight... seven..."

Five seconds... Anthony clenched his fists.

"Three... two... one... Happy New Year!"

The city erupted in celebration, but Anthony remained still, his eyes glued to the clock as it struck 12:00 AM, January 1st.

The changes begin...

For a brief moment, everything was silent. The world seemed to hold its breath. Then, it began—a faint tremor, barely noticeable, rippling through the air like static electricity. noah felt a shiver run down his spine as the System interface suddenly expanded in front of him.

A robotic voice echoed in his mind, calm but foreboding:

[Global system initialization complete, The New Era begins now]

Noah exhaled slowly, his lips curling into a grim smile.

It's time...

He stood up, grabbing his jacket and weapon holster. The apartment felt colder now, the weight of the moment settling on him. Fireworks continued to light up the city, but soon, those cheers would turn to screams.

12:02 AM.

The apocalypse had officially begun.

He opened the System, scanning the notification logs:

[Global Initialization Complete!]

[Elemental awakening begins in 60 seconds... Kill atleast 1 Undead to get a random elemental class skill or talent]

[Survivor Warning: Anomalies will emerge. Adapt immediately]

Outside, the distant sounds of fireworks began to mix with something else—screams. Noah pulled the curtain aside, his sharp eyes scanning the streets below. What he saw made his blood run cold.

People were collapsing, writhing on the ground as bright, unnatural lights began to swirl around them. Some clutched their heads, their bodies convulsing as power surged through them. Others screamed in terror as strange creatures—twisted, shadowy forms—emerged from nowhere, attacking indiscriminately.

Noah's sharp eyes scanned the chaos unfolding in the streets below. the undead weren't the shambling,mindless creatures that movies often depicted these were something far worse.

Their pallid,bloodless skin clung tightly to their bones making their skeletal structure unnervingly prominent.Their sunken faces were marked by hollow, white eyes devoid of emotion, yet filled with a predatory hunger. The most disturbing detail was their exposed brains—glossy and pulsating as insects crawled over them, burrowing into the fleshy mass.

Noah clenched his jaw, his hand instinctively reaching for the knife strapped to his side. The creatures moved with unnatural speed and coordination, hunting down anything that breathed.

As he observed, the blue and gold lines of the System interface expanded in his vision. A crisp notification rang in his mind, disrupting his focus:

[Ding! You've awakened Another Universe Bloodline!]

[Congratulations! you've become an Uchiha! ]

Noah froze for a moment, his brows knitting in confusion.

Uchiha? The word stirred a faint memory—something about a popular anime he had watched decades ago. He sighed, shaking his head in disbelief.

"What kind of impractical ability is this?" he muttered. "I need something useful, not flashy."

Before he could dismiss the notification, another message appeared:

[Awakening of Sharingan Costs 50 Mutation energy]

Noah frowned. "Mutation Energy?" he muttered, opening his System interface. A small counter on the side displayed:

[Mutation energy : 0]

He sighed, running a hand through his hair. "Of course. Always strings attached."

He returned his attention to the streets below. The undead were spreading rapidly, their inhuman speed and coordination allowing them to overpower the unprepared civilians. A young man sprinted across the street, screaming for help, but one of the creatures tackled him from behind.

Noah's stomach churned as the undead attacked with relentless precision. The victim's lifeless body crumpled on the pavement, leaving behind a haunting silence.

The creature turned its hollow eyes upward, as if sensing Noah's gaze. It let out a guttural hiss before sprinting toward the building.
