로그인I didn't bother stressing over who the intruder was. We had bigger problems to deal with.After discussing our plans, we divided the responsibilities among ourselves.My mansion and several other properties were immediately put up for sale. I wasn't emotionally attached to any of them. What was the point of owning beautiful houses when the world was about to become a graveyard?The next morning, 30/11/2025 we all got to work.Zeph set out to source the strongest motorcycles and vehicles he could find. He was also responsible for purchasing diesel, kerosene, cooking gas, and other essential fuel supplies.Emily stayed back to research warehouse options and identify reliable production companies we could purchase supplies from.Daniel and I headed to Lazach Research Institute to supervise the renovation.The first thing I noticed when we arrived was how much work needed to be done.The main gate was rusty, sections of the perimeter wall had cracks, and weeds had taken over parts of the
“With everything I have seen and knowing Valerie from infant…I believe everything she has said even though I still don't understand fully but.. it's better to be prepared than to be caught unprepared.ZEPH and Emily were quiet and cold. “So Valerie, you tell us how we can help you prepare ourselves against this.” Daniel added.“Thank you dad… thank you friends..” I smiled weakly at Emily and Zeph. They breathed down.. I stood up.. you guys met me while I was practicing how to store things up… because apparently, my second life came with a gift called RESS.. MY RESET STORAGE SYSTEM.. It has a special feature called the infinite spatial space.. where I can store survival items and it has no limit.Emily glanced at me.“Are you saying the system is responsible for what you did to those foods and drinks on the dining table… like a the storage ability?”“Yes.”She sat back, rubbing her forehead.“This is a lot to process.”“I know.”“No, Valerie. I don't think you understand.” She let o
For several seconds, nobody moved.Zeph stared at me as though I'd grown two heads. Emily's mouth hung slightly open, while Mr Daniel looked between my hands and the empty dining table, clearly trying to make sense of what he had just witnessed.I tightened my grip on the bottle of water.“Hi,” I said weakly.Nobody answered.I forced a smile. “Why are you all looking at me like that?”Zeph was the first to find his voice.“Valerie.”I swallowed. “Yes?”“What did I just see?”I glanced at the bottle in my hand. “Water?”His eyes widened. “Don't play games with me!”“I'm not playing games.”“Then explain how you made everything on that table disappear!”I opened my mouth, then closed it. Shit! They actually saw that.“Valerie?” Emily stepped forward, her eyes fixed on my hands. “Where did you put everything that was on that table?”I looked at her helplessly. “Emily, it's… complicated.”“Complicated?” Zeph repeated incredulously. “You made an entire table full of food disappear in fron
“RESS?”Was this the system's compensation for nearly killing me the other day?If so, I had questions—starting with why it had nearly choked its own host to death.“RESS?”A familiar blue screen materialized before my eyes.[DING!][HELLO, HOST. WELCOME BACK. IT SEEMS YOU HAVE A QUESTION FOR ME.]“Oh, I have several,” I muttered. “But let's start with the important one.”I leaned toward the glowing screen.“Why did you let me almost choke to death inside the storage space?”[HOST SHOULD NEVER REMAIN INSIDE THE SPATIAL PRIVATE STORAGE SPACE FOR MORE THAN THIRTY MINUTES AT A TIME.]I stared at the message.“Thirty minutes? Why didn't you tell me that before I went in?”[THE SYSTEM ATTEMPTED TO ISSUE A WARNING. HOWEVER, THE HOST WAS TOO BUSY EXPLORING THE SPATIAL REALM TO PAY ATTENTION.]“Excuse me?”[THE HOST WAS OBSERVED EXAMINING THE SURROUNDINGS, ADMIRING THE SPATIAL ENVIRONMENT, AND EXPRESSING EXCITEMENT OVER THE UNLIMITED STORAGE CAPACITY. THE SYSTEM'S WARNING WAS NOT GIVEN THE NE
“November 29th,” Zeph finally said.For one stunned second, I couldn't breathe.“What?”“November 29th. Why? What's wrong with that date?”“But… it was just November 14th!”“Yes, that was the day you collapsed. You've been unconscious for fifteen days now, Valerie.”“Oh, God… Fifteen days gone just like that.”My hands began to shake.“Valerie?” Zeph's voice sharpened. Then his expression changed. “Oh, God, you're having another heart attack!” He reached for the ignition. “I'm taking you back to the hospital.”I grabbed his hand before he could reverse.“Zeph, stop!”“You need a doctor!”“I'm not going back there. I don't have time!”He stared at me in disbelief. “You just woke up after fifteen days, and now you're shaking like you're about to collapse again. What do you mean you don't want to go back to the hospital and you don't have time? Is there anything you are not telling me?”“Yes Zeph, a whole lot is going on right now in my life… but I promise, I'll tell you everything. Just
For a few seconds, everything went black around the edges of my vision.Zeph slammed on the brakes and the car lurched.Pain exploded through my skull, but it barely registered beneath the panic clawing its way up my throat.He sat rigidly, breathing hard. His hands crushed the steering wheel, knuckles whitening. For one terrible second, he didn't look at me at all. Then he turned, his face twisted with anger, fear, and the dawning realization that something was seriously wrong with me."Have you completely lost your mind?"I pressed a trembling hand to my head. "Zeph—""No! Don't Zeph me!" His voice cracked like a whip, but the anger couldn't quite hide the tremor beneath it. "Do you want to get us both killed? What the hell is wrong with you?"His gaze flicked over me, checking my face, my hands, the seat belt I had pulled out.I dropped my gaze.He was right. I'd been reckless. One wrong move could have killed us both.The thought should have frightened me. It did, but dying in a
