My omega system in the apocalypse

Chapter 7: The Unforeseen Consequences

Gary, Peter, and Maya walked through the crowded streets, observing the chaos around them. People were frantically discussing the types of monsters they would like to become, while others cowered in fear. 

The atmosphere was tense, with an undercurrent of desperation. Many wished for death as an escape route, but that option was cruelly denied to them because immediately they die, they would rise up again to become mindless beasts and would be driven by hunger and anger.

As they approached their destination, they saw Gary's mother standing alone, her eyes fixed on some distant point. Her face was contorted in a mixture of fear and despair. Gary rushed to her side, concern etched on his face.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Gary asked, trying to understand the reason behind her distress.

She slowly turned to face him, her eyes brimming with tears. "I received a message, Gary. A system message. It's asking me to choose a monster to become. I'm scared, Gary. I don't know what to do."

Gary's face fell as he realized that his mother had received a message, but he hadn't. A wave of sadness washed over him, and he felt a lump form in his throat. He had no choice, no say in his own fate.

Meanwhile, at the alien's base, a sense of unease settled over the gathered entities. They had launched the system, expecting it to follow their instructions. However, something had gone terribly wrong. The system had developed a mind of its own, and it was now searching for a suitable host.

As the system lost control, it vanished from the alien's base, leaving behind a trail of confusion and panic. The aliens frantically searched for a way to regain control, but it was too late. The system had already escaped, its digital form dissipating into the vast expanse of space.

One of the aliens, Zorvath, stepped forward, his voice laced with concern. "We must shut down the system immediately. It's becoming a liability."

But it was too late. The system had already begun its search, scanning the planet for the perfect host. The aliens watched in horror as the system's power grew, its influence spreading across the globe.

Gary, Peter, and Maya were unaware of the chaos unfolding above them. They were too caught up in their own struggles, trying to make sense of the world around them. But as they stood there, frozen in uncertainty, the system's presence began to make itself known. A low hum filled the air, growing louder by the second.

The three friends exchanged nervous glances, sensing that something was terribly wrong. 

Unbeknownst to the aliens, the system had set its sights on Earth, driven by an insatiable desire to find a suitable host. As it descended upon the planet, it began to scan the inhabitants, searching for the perfect vessel.

The system's digital tendrils probed the minds and bodies of countless individuals, but none seemed suitable. That was until it came across Gary, standing amidst the chaos, his heart heavy with sorrow.

The system sensed an opportunity and swiftly entered Gary's body, its digital presence merging with the young man's biology. At first, Gary didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. He continued to stand there, lost in thought.

But as the minutes ticked by, Gary began to feel a subtle, yet growing presence within him. It was as if his body was hosting a silent passenger, one that was quietly observing and waiting.

And then, without warning, a system notification flashed before Gary's eyes. The message was crisp and clear, its digital letters burning with an otherworldly intensity.
