Is it Wrong to Copy Abilities in Apocalypse?

Before another wave of new notifications arrived…

[The one who sees is looking at you.]

[The preserver is looking at you.]

[The goddess of love is looking at you.]

[The Mighty Farmer is looking at you.]

[Many gods are looking at you.]

A man was lying on the group with a broken body; one of his arms was gone, along with a leg.

It seemed as if those parts were ripped off by force.

The man was lying lifeless as he looked at the notifications in front of him.

'Gods, huh…'

He chuckled inwardly.

'A lot of new, exciting things are going to happen, but alas…'

The man grew a bit excited as he thought about it. In the end, however, he just sighed.

He knew about his body's condition, and he knew that he was probably going to die in a while, but...

His grey eyes turned to look at the body of the orc that was lying a distance away from him and a grin made its way to his face.

'At least I took one of them down.'

This guy had somehow killed an orc, something even Alex was not sure of being able to kill.

The dead orc had his head and stomach blasted off, and it looked like it had exploded from the inside.

*Cough**Cough**Cough*....

A series of violent coughs left his lips, along with a lot of blood that was added to the blood pooling below him.

His vision started to get blurry and he could feel his life leaving his body with every breath he took…

'I guess this is it, huh…?'

He sighed and closed his eyes in resignation.

But just as he was about to close his eyes, a new notification flashed in front of his eyes.

[The Infernal Blaze finds you interesting and has offered a contract to you.]

'....'

For a second, that guy froze, his expression mixed with shock and disbelief, but that was only for a second before...

'HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!'

He started laughing with an excited expression, but inwardly, from the outside, he looked just like a body that had been burned to death.

"Y… Yes…."

He uttered that word with great difficulty, but that was all that was needed, and a bright light flashed.

However, it was not just this guy who was fortunate enough to get so many gods interested in himself.

..................….

[Many gods are watching you.]

[Goddess of hunting had gifted you 100 coins.]

[The Bearer of Mountain has gifted you 100 coins.]

[The Bearer of Amrita has gifted you 100 coins.]

....

….

.

Many such notifications flashed in front of Alex's eyes, and he could feel his coins increasing, but his eyes kept staring at the scene in front of him.

The AI, who has always been beside him since the start of the apocalypse, commented.

Alex, however, didn't say anything in response.

What the AI said was true; he again realized that the world was facing an apocalypse as he stood at the peak of a mountain and looked at the scene below.

There was nothing but trees and trees for as far as he could see, but unlike the greenery-filled view one would've gotten before, all he saw now was destruction.

Many large craters were formed on the earth's surface, as if they were slashes made by a large sword.

The lush green trees that used to represent greenery and fertility were left destroyed.

The soft and melodious calling of the birds that one used to hear was now replaced by the ferocious roars and pained shrieks of beasts.

The calming feeling that one used to get when they walked deeper into the forest was nowhere to be felt; the only thing one would feel in those forests now was tension.

[5 gods have offered you a contract.]

A new notification arrived, causing Alex to frown, before he jumped down the tree he was standing on.

He stared at the notification for a while, before he waved it off.

'Let's take care of some things first.'

Alex muttered inwardly as a sharp glint passed through his eyes.

With those thoughts, he dashed into the same forest that he was staring at earlier.

He, just like everyone else in the world, knew that their journey in this apocalypse was just starting.

How long they would go would depend on themselves.

All they could do was give their best, and Alex was going to do the same.

To give his best in everything he does.

*Shine*

As Alex ran in a certain direction, he noticed something up in the sky, causing him to pause.

He frowned as he tried to make out what it was, but he couldn't.

All he saw was a bright light shining in the sky—a light so bright that it caused him to squint his eyes.

But it was not just him who saw it, everyone who had eyes could see it.

"What the hell is that now?"

"Is that a monster?"

"A new task?"

"What's happening?"

Many people who saw the shine in the sky thought of various things.

But just as they were pondering what it was, the light dimmed, leaving a single star that shone bright enough to be visible even though the sun was up.

However, just as everyone thought that things were over and that it was probably something to do with the system, more and more of the same type of light shone.

*Shine**Shine*....

One after another, new stars started to brighten up in the sky, and in a while, the sky was filled with them.

It was daytime, yet the stars that shone up in the clear blue sky, making different kinds of patterns, gave the onlookers a mesmerizing view.

The stars shone with various colors, some gold, some silver, and some red.

Varieties of colors could be seen filling up the sky, some colors even looked unknown and new to humanity.

Alex, just like everyone else, was captivated by the view, but as he stared at the stars, he felt like they were staring back at him.

This caused Alex to frown, but the next second, he got the answer as to why he got the feeling of being stared at.

[The Ruler of the Seas is looking at you.]

[The Metal Detector is looking at you.]

[The Embodiment of Destruction is looking at you.]

...

…

.

One after another, Alex saw the stars shimmer as he got a barrage of notifications from the system.

He stared up at the sky for a second before he went on ahead to do the thing he wanted to.

Many people did the same since they realized that it was the same gods who were watching them, but some remained standing in their spots, staring at the enchanting view in front of them.

..................…..

Shera and Garvit were lying down on the ground as they kept staring at the stars.

The ground they were lying on was a grassy plane, and they were waiting for someone as they lay on the ground.

"Are you done??"

Garvit voiced out a bit when he heard a small rustle from the bushes in front of him, but there was no response, so he just sighed.

"You could've just said that you wanted to poo, you know.

You didn't have to lie, saying that you wanted to pee."

Garvit commented with a sigh as he continued to wait for their new team member to be done with their business.

..................…..

Then there was Jaxon Stone, who was sitting on top of a building's railing on the top floor with his legs hanging down.

"It looks hypnotizing, doesn't it?"

He muttered as he stared at the sky; his question was for the little girl who, just like him, was sitting on the railing while waving her feet that were hanging down.

"Un! It looked enchanting!"

The girl exclaimed in a cheerful tone, staring at the stars along with Jaxon.

Just like them, there were many people who, knowing full well that the view was going to remain the same for who knows how long, still made some time to enjoy it.

Who knew when they would get the leisure to enjoy it again, or if they would feel the same about the view as time went on?

They wanted to enjoy the view for the time being, at least until they were oblivious to the real dangers they were going to face ahead.
