Fantasy

My name’s Ethan.
    And before the world ended, I was… well, let’s just say I wasn’t exactly “boyfriend material.”
    Every girl I liked turned me down.
    Every confession I made ended with, “Sorry, Ethan, you’re a nice guy but…”
    Hell, I’m twenty and I’ve never even kissed a girl. Not even once!
    Then the apocalypse happened. Zombies, mutants, the whole nine yards. Humanity went from dating apps to survival camps overnight.
    And that’s when it happened...
    A strange voice echoed in my head.
    [Boyfriend System Activated.]
    [System Rule: Every girl you save makes you stronger.]
    I thought it was a joke, until the moment I protected my childhood friend from being torn apart, and suddenly, I could punch through a zombie’s skull like it was paper.
    Now, every day I wake up with the system whispering.
    [Ethan, save this girl. Comfort her. Protect her. Hold her hand. If you fail, you’re screwed.]
    Ahh!
    The weak, invisible guy I used to be is gone. In this new world, I’m the one every lady depends on. And I’ll say it proudly because...
    “I’m their boyfriend, aren’t I?”
