The face was distorted it's features melting like candle wax every now and then as it tried to take shape. On the melted wriggling blood a hollow like circles appeared ,eyes,too big to look human. It blink as though confused the small worm like shapes started to expand even more.
They came together binding and thickening as it grew in length and size creating muscle and bone like structures that were just as red and still wriggling.
A human like figure starts to raise, grotesque and lopsided, creating creaking noises as though rusted gears were being forced to turn. A smoother coat of the coagulated blood started to form over the body clearly skin, black wriggling veins visible under the curtains of slik like blood.
A low wet gurgling sound escapes the body from the place where the mouth should have been like a muffled scream. The blood splits as though it was being cut by a blunt razor blade screwed and left some places still attached. They separated one by one pulled apart by the opening mouth in a silent scream.
Fingers sprouted closed and uneven moving vigorously as blood dripped all over the pavement. The figure grew taller ,it's joints spanning and popping as it's Body started to align itself forming a complete figure. Hair or what looked like it started to sprout in clamp dripping with black blood.
In the hollow space eyes emerged it's pupils dilated as they looked around furiously before it settled down. The transformation finally ends and a figure of a man remains coated in blood.
" What the fuck?" A loud voice screams into the quiet grounds.
Shawn was in shock, he couldn't believe it. He was standing right there alive but covered in blood. He looked around him wondering where all the blood was coming from.
Then he remembered falling off the roof the apocalypse then falling again and hitting the ground then standing where he was.
He was still trying to figure out what was going on when a black translucent screen appeared Infront of him. He took a step back, it followed him. He moved to the side. It followed him he bent down it followed him.
Now he was sure, that thing may be connected to him. Words started to form on the screen.

The hand reports: "Hungry."
When those words appeared he remembered that the voice had said everyone would be granted an ability and a system would appear to the awakened.
He seemed to be one of the awakened. He looked at his ability. Immortality, he chuckled to himself this must have been some sort of joke, he thought.
He wanted to die but now's the stupid system says he can't, he wouldn't believe that. He has to find a way to die.
In his musing his nails had dug into his palm. A sharp pain brought him out of his thoughts. He looked at his fingers . It had small little holes all over that were bleeding. It hurt like a bitch .
The pain had come from his hand. He looked closely at his hand. A mouth full of teeth was gaping snapping occasionally. He had not even noticed it.
It must have been the one that bit him. He looked at the system interface trying to find an explanation. It seemed to be an ability he gained from killing, which he doesn't remember.
It must have bit him or he fell on it and killed it. He pushed his fingers back into the mouth. It but into his fingers lapping at the blood that dripped.
Shawn laughed at that, they had really given him a beautiful gift. It's bite hurt more than the razor.
He would play with it as he found a way to kill himself . He looked towards the school main building and decided to go there and see what was going on.
He had just walked for a while when he came across drops of blood and pieces of slesh scattered every where. He walked following the trails curious to see who had been killed.
He he came to the front of the main building and froze.
He was met with his body, his actual body, laying on the pavement broken into unrecognizable. He knew it was his body due to the clothes and a broken off leg that still had his shoes on.
He looked down at himself now clearly. He was covered in blood and naked. It just that the blood was too much to notice.
He observed his remains from where he was standing in fascination. So this is what he looked like after death. An art work.Blood everywhere and hands everywhere. That was when something caught his attention. Hands too many hands to be considered his.
Wrists torn carelessly as though they had been pulled from their owners with pure force. Each hand clung to him chewing greedily. The sound of wet chewing, slurping, grinding and tearing filled the silence.
The place was a feeding ground and his body was the feast.
He barely had time to process what he was seeing when the hands started to twitch vigorously one by one like a domino. Their skins started to turn purple black before they screeched and started to melt turning into a disgusting gooey mess. Only his messily eaten body parts remained.
Just then words appeared on the sky completing everyone to look up.
FIRST TEN KILLS COMPLETION - NAMELESS.
Shawn looked up at the sky surprised. How had he not noticed such large words. He looked at his system interface that pinged then at the name. He was nameless. He looked at his alias name he was ranked first. There was another name right below his . It appeared after his name update.
LYRIA VALTZ.
She must have just killed for her name to appear right after his. He thought to himself. If he ever met her , he would walk the other way around. That is if he would still be alive.
He looked at the system interface. He seemed to have received a reward for the deaths of those hands. Saw that he got a new skill.

So he had gotten the ability to look at other peoples system, he thought not caring about the disadvantages.
Shawn continued walking past his body and entered the school building. He looked around wondering where the other monsters are since he never saw anything except for thise carnivores hands.
( A buffer of one hour has been placed on the outer dimension creatures. Humanity has been given an hour to adapt before the real ones are released)
The system interface aappeared before him and explained. He nodded after reading the explanation. At least they gave them a little buffer time for people to see what was going to desend on them.
The small monsters like those hands were too weak for the world system to consider a threat to any human.
He walked to a small room that the watchman used to seat and look at them as though they were beneath him.
He found an extra pair of clothes and put them on wiping the blood on his body carelessly with another extra shirt he found.
After making sure he looked at least presentable he walked out of the room his fingers automatically going into the mouth on his palm letting it bite him.
The pain was a kind of euphoria to him it kept him grounded. He was thinking what to do next when a scream pierced through the quite campus.
He sprinted directly towards the scream.
