Chapter 3 - 002. The Changing World.

4 Months have passed since the day the whole world changed. 4 months after people gained the system power. Of course, those people are the ones who got Gilgamesh dream. 

Many people around the world simultaneously gained strange powers that were able to defy the reality as we know.

But what followed after that was chaos.

Mholi and many others didn't realize that the day Mholi learned the truth about Noluvo was the same day Gilgamesh came to earth. 

It is unfortunate that the crucial moment collided with the moment when Noluvo was about to be burnt by the people. 

Because at that moment, a strange thing happened. All electronic devices capable of broadcasting audio and video were suddenly hacked by Gilgamesh himself. 

All the screens of electronic devices around the world displayed a single broadcast. 

Gilgamesh appeared and called himself the new anunnaki god; the fact that he came from the planet Nibiru which was now barren due to war; the fact that he came to earth to recruit humans on earth as resources to save his planet; the fact that he gave a few selected humans the opportunity to become the lesser anunnaki gods and lead the humans who were not given the system power.

The announcement that was broadcast around the world in unison managed to send the people into a frenzy. 

With a power that could make one the equivalent of an army of trained soldiers, people instantly mobilized and declared themselves worthy of becoming the new god. 

It didn't take long for chaos to ensue and governments around the world to be completely paralyzed. 

The system users revolutionized in their own way and created mass panic. 

The first month was the time when military soldiers mobilized and created a huge conflict that set the world on fire. 

The next 1 month, governments around the world become irrelevant because many of the system users are also part of government and military.

The system user established their own kingdoms and competed to be the strongest and expand their territories. 

3 months after Gilgamesh's announcement, the world had completely changed and there were only a handful of countries still standing with such limited territory.

The majority of areas around the world are now system user-governed areas, including the area where Mholi lives. 

Howick town.

In a small town that is now trapped in the rule of the system users, Mholi lives his life as he lived his life before the world changed.

 

"Don't worry mom, I'll be fine," said Mholi, sitting in front of his mother's bed. 

The woman, who looked haggard and pale, was just lying on the bed. Her health wasn't getting worse, but it wasn't getting better either. 

It had been four months since Noluvo's words had haunted his mind and he was now caring for his ailing mother. 

4 months is a long time and his mother's illness is not even getting better, though the symptoms are not getting worse.

The teenage boy was convinced by Noluvo's statement that his mother was sick because someone had bewitched her. But he couldn't find out more than that because four months had passed since he last saw Noluvo. 

The only two things Mholi knows now is that his mother is sick because someone bewitched her and Noluvo is the witch trying to help her. 

Others might be skeptical when they hear a witch saying that she has come to help, but Mholi's case was different. 

The teenage boy had complete faith in Noluvo and didn't doubt her one bit, because... 

"You're the first girl who said that," murmured Mholi, staring at the red beads bracelet Noluvo had given him. 

A last memento before Mholi and Noluvo parted ways four months ago. 

A piece of bracelet made of red beads that is only given to couples or spouses. It had a meaning that made Mholi's chest tighten every time he recalled the events of that day.

Objects that have meaning of ( Strong emotion of love ).

After finishing taking care of his mother, Mholi left to walk to his school. 

He didn't wear a uniform, just a normal t-shirt and pants with a pair of shoes.

Of course he no longer needed a uniform, it was because the function of his school had changed. 

Apart from his clothes changing, Mholi's physical appearance has also changed since 4 months passed. His hair became longer, of course. Mholi now had wavy black hair with about 10 cm long. 

He had different hair type than other kids his aged or even average person in that place. While people usually had curly or coily hair, he had wavy hair that almost straight. But he didn't want to think about that.

Mholi walked casually and passed by several houses. People who didn't have system power seemed a little scared when they saw Mholi.

That look of fear made Mholi a little uncomfortable, but that was the new reality he had to live with. 

While system users were rebelling against the government in every country, South Africa was going through the same thing. 

Fortunately, small towns like Howick did not become battlefields like big cities like Durban. 

However, Howick immediately received a new government system change and people who did not have system power could not do anything to fight back. 

Those who have the system power will automatically get important positions if they didn't fight back, while those who don't have the system power will get roles according to the policies of the people in power in that place whether they like it or not.

Mholi tried to ignore the uncomfortable feelings and focus on what he had to do.

"System!" Mholi said followed by the appearance of a panel floating right in front of his face. 

A slightly transparent blue panel that only the owner of the system could see. 

It looked similar to the status panel on a game character. It displays several things that can be accessed or done by the system owner. 

.

[ Tamer system ]

.

[ Level: γ 5 ]

.

[ Familiar Point: 15 Points left ]

.

[ Familiar: 0 ]

.

[ Ability: None ]

.

[15 points left]

.

Mholi sighed heavily. "I still don't understand why I got this system."

The teenage boy stared at his system panel many times and was still puzzled by the system that was so different from the systems obtained by others. 

"Why is my system different? What is the tamer system? And why does this system seem to be telling me to level up my pet? Shouldn't the system increase the level of its users?"

Mholi sighed heavily once more and looked up at the slightly overcast blue sky. 

"Looks like it's going to rain again this afternoon," Mholi muttered.
