APOCALYPSE: I BECAME THE PROTAGONIST chapter 33: The Burning Perimeter
Gift’s POVWe ran through the narrow alleyways, our boots splashing through puddles as we cut across the city to outrun the secondary wave of infected. The distant roars echoed off the brick walls behind us, reminding us that we had no time to waste. Every breath burned in my throat, the cold air scraping my lungs as my legs ached from running uphill.When we finally rounded the corner toward our survivor base, my stomach dropped.Thick smoke was billowing into the sky from the courtyard. The high perimeter gates, which we had reinforced with thick bars and locks, stood wide open. The barricades weren't smashed in from the outside by a charging horde; they had been carefully unlatched and disabled from the inside."Someone opened the gates," Kaelen panted, gripping his rifle tighter as he slowed to a jog near the entrance."Watch out!" Mich yelled, shoving me aside a second before a mutated runner bounded off a low roof, landing right where I had been standing.Mich didn't hesitate. H
APOCALYPSE: I BECAME THE PROTAGONIST chapter 32: The Breach Protocol
Gift’s POVThe glass beneath our feet shattered into a thousand flying shards as water erupted into the room like a geyser.A massive, pale creature burst upward through the broken floor, its huge webbed claws sweeping across the dark space. Cold water slammed into my waist, almost knocking me off my feet, but Mich grabbed my arm just in time, yanking me out of the path of a razor-sharp claw that smashed right through a nearby computer unit."Get to the upper wall!" Mich roared over the sound of roaring water and screeching metal.He stepped directly between me and the beast, his muscles bulging as he caught one of the Matriarch’s swinging arms with his bare hands. The force of the blow pushed him back two steps in the churning water, but he held his ground, grunting through gritted teeth as he locked his fingers around the monster's claw to buy us time.Kaelen splashed frantically toward the far corner of the room, using his flashlight to spot a heavy square vent set high in the wall
APOCALYPSE: I BECAME THE PROTAGONIST chapter 31: Corrupted Shadows
Gift’s POVThe black-and-white video froze on the image of the silver badge, leaving the room dead silent.Kaelen stepped back from the console, his hand dropping straight to the sidearm strapped to his waist. He looked at Mich with eyes narrowed into hard slits, his expression shifting from simple shock to cold, sharp suspicion."Six months ago," Kaelen said, his voice dangerously low as he kept his gun holstered for now. "That was the exact night the system reports said you were on night patrol near the medical ward, Mich. You had the clearance. You had the uniform."Mich looked like he had been struck across the face. His color drained completely, and his breath hitched in his throat as he stared at the paused screen."I didn't do it," Mich whispered, shaking his head frantically as he took a step toward Kaelen. "I swear to God, that wasn't me! I was on the south perimeter all night. You know me, Kaelen—""I thought I did," Kaelen interrupted, stepping back and keeping his hand nea
APOCALYPSE: I BECAME THE PROTAGONIST CHAPTER 30: The First Prototype
Gift’s POVThe wide door slid open with a slow, heavy hiss, revealing a dark, sterile room that had been sealed tight since the outbreak started. Cold air poured out into the hallway, smelling of dry dust and old machine oil.Nobody moved at first.Mich stood completely still on the steps, his chest heaving under his vest as he stared up at the blue light glowing on the wall. His face was pale, his jaw locked so hard the skin around his mouth turned white.The image on the screen didn't fade. The face of the original Gift looked down at us—young, quiet, and brown-eyed—staring back from a corporate file photo taken long before the city fell to pieces.[PLAYER #1: DESIGNATE - GIFT]Kaelen stepped closer to the wall, his light shining over the numbers on the screen. "Player One? What does that even mean? Gift, why is your face on a high-level corporate file?"My throat went completely dry. I opened my mouth to say something, anything, but the words stuck in my chest. I couldn't tell Kael
APOCALYPSE: I BECAME THE PROTAGONIST CHAPTER 29: The Flooded Sub-Basement
The water rose to our knees almost immediately, freezing cold and thick with grime. It soaked right through my trousers, sending sharp shivers up my legs, but there was no time to think about the chill.Across the dark, flooded room, the pale glowing eyes multiplied by the dozen. A harsh, clicking hiss echoed off the low ceiling, and the water began to churn wildly as dozens of aquatic crawlers surged toward us through the dark."Stay close behind me!" Mich shouted over the splashing, raising his rifle as he stepped in front of me.Kaelen unclipped a waterproof flashlight from his collar, sweeping the bright beam across the swirling water. "They're coming from all sides! Watch the pillars!"I pulled my iron pipe out from my system inventory, gripping the handle tight as my eyes flickered with blue light.[SYSTEM TARGET ANALYSIS: ACTIVE][MULTIPLE THREATS DETECTED: AQUATIC CRAWLERS][GLOWING WEAK POINTS MARKED AT THE BASE OF THE SKULL]"Left side, Mich!" I warned, pointing my pipe towa
APOCALYPSE: I BECAME THE PROTAGONIST CHAPTER 28: Mercer’s Ghost
The dry, raspy voice of Dr. Mercer still hung in the dark office air, echoing off the bare walls long after the intercom speaker clicked shut."Subject Zero... if you are hearing this," the recording had whispered, "Player 300 is not your savior. She is your prison."I stared at the black speaker on the desk, my mind spinning. The words felt like a cold weight dropping into my stomach. Player 300. That was me. That was the exact designation the System had given me the moment I woke up in this world.Malakor didn't look at the desk. His dark eyes remained fixed on my face, sharp and dangerous. The shadow of suspicion crossed his features, though his cold fingers still rested on my waist."What does he mean by that?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. "What is a prison to you?""Mercer was Thorne's head scientist," Malakor said, his voice cold and flat. "He spent years carving into my flesh before the world fell apart, trying to figure out why I did not rot like the others. If he
