Afflicted

Orcs and elves come streaming out of portals. People lose their grip and are transformed into afflicted. If this is a zombie apocalypse, it's a pretty weird one. The rules are simple: kill an orc or anything else-gain life energy, reducing your chances of becoming a walking corpse. But fail-and become a zombie, AKA an afflicted. Oh well . . . I wanted the system to come-now I got it. I ended up with a sweet specialty, too! Let the games begin!

First encounters with other sentient races. New global trials and events. That's all well and good, but we have business on Earth. The time has come to bring people together and make a base in a Moscow overrun by afflicted.

The threat of the Medvedkovo portal is growing. War is going to break out on Ofilia before we've even begun to properly trade. Those in the Zhdanovsky group who haven't already turned afflicted from lack of life energy will soon begin to starve . . . But oh well-two days should be plenty of time to handle all those problems. If of course the System doesn't make us any more . . . Which it definitely will!

The war on Ofilia is heating up and the outcome will depend on our mana potion deliveries. So, what's the problem? Well, it's been a week since the System arrived on Earth, and that means high-level hostiles from other worlds could start showing up at any time . . .

The objective is clear - to reach the original world and get to the bottom of what is going on here. But I don't want to waste decades on it like people from other worlds. In fact, I'd like to be done in a month. After all, am I a Keeper, or just a pretty face? However, the System is keeping me on my toes. Moscow looks more like a military training zone every day, and this strange slime has been oozing out of the metro.
