[THE SYSTEM WILL NOW ASSIST IN YOUR SURVIVAL.] It repeated.

The screen then change and displayed a list of new skills and abilities. Survivors, initially skeptical, began to grasp the gravity of this assistance. They wondered how these new powers would help them combat the monstrous threat.

(Cooperation: Form alliances with other survivors to enhance your chances of survival.)

Individuals who had been isolated now saw the necessity of working together. Forming alliances seemed both a practical and emotional need in the face of shared danger.

(Survivors hiding and on the brink of death will feel a sudden surge of energy.)

As energy surged through the weakened survivors, many felt overwhelmed by the sudden restoration. The miracle of recovery was met with a mix of astonishment and cautious hope.

(Divine beings have arrived to aid you.)

The arrival of gods and their blessings brought a sense of awe and reverence. Survivors were both relieved and curious about how these divine interventions would impact their fight against the monsters.

(Follow the System's guidance to adapt to the new reality.)

With the System's instructions in mind, people began to strategize and adapt. The screen's updates were crucial, guiding their survival in this new and dangerous world.

(Remain vigilant. Your actions will determine the fate of humanity.)

In the crowded urban area, a group of people huddled around their screens, their faces a mix of fear and determination. The atmosphere was tense as they navigated their newfound abilities.

"I'm putting all my points into strength," one person declared, his voice filled with resolve. "If we're going to survive, we need to be able to fight off this Monsters! We can't just die without a fight!"

"Wait, what is this?" another exclaimed, glancing at their screen. "It feels just like a game."

"Yeah, it's like Ethereal Online." someone else chimed in, disbelief etched on their face. "How is this even happening?"

"No way! That's impossible." a third person shouted, shaking their head in disbelief. "Look at our status. We only have agility, stamina, strength, and mana."

"Is this some sort of twisted joke?" another voice quivered. "This can't be real."

"I don't care anymore what matters is to survive," the first person insisted, frustration creeping into his tone. "We need to use these points wisely. I'm not going to end up like those three guys we saw earlier."

"What if we can level up like in the game?" someone asked, their eyes lighting up with a glimmer of hope. "Maybe we can actually become stronger and fight back!"

"Yeah, but what if we get stuck like this forever?" a woman murmured, her voice trembling. People around started arguing and some is quiet thinking carefully where to allocate their points.

"No, stamina is more important!" another argues. "We need to last the whole hour, and being able to keep going is crucial."

A third person chimes in, "Agility will help us dodge attacks. I'm focusing on that."

"Mana is important too," someone else insists. "We don't know what kind of abilities we might need, so having mana could be a game-changer."

The arguments continue to escalate, each person defending their choice with increasing intensity. The discussion is chaotic, with everyone trying to make the best decision under pressure.

[WARNING!]

Suddenly, a sharp, insistent warning sound cuts through the noise, drawing everyone's attention.
