Vivi rose and checked the bunker supplies. Some boxes had been damaged during the earthquake, but most of the supplies remained usable.

She would need to repair the damaged shelves and inspect the rest of the shelter.

After that, she could begin training.

Vivi stopped beside the desk and glanced once more at the dark computer screen.

Somewhere outside, millions of people were still trying to understand what had happened. Parents were searching for their children. Children were crying for their parents. The injured were waiting for help that might never arrive.

And above the ruined cities, the mysterious gates remained open.

【 Ding! 】

Vivi stopped what she was doing as a panel of instructions appeared before her eyes.

Vivi read the panel twice, then her expression changed.

“Seven days outdoors?”

She looked toward the reinforced bunker door.

She had prepared this shelter to protect herself from the initial catastrophe. There was food, water, medicine, backup power, and enough supplies to keep her alive for months if necessary.

Now the system wanted her to leave it.

Worse, she couldn’t simply step outside for a few minutes and return whenever she pleased. The objective required her to survive seven consecutive days outdoors.

She would have to find food, secure water, establish a temporary shelter, and defend herself against whatever dangers had appeared alongside the spatial gates.

And she would have to do all of that while her core energy remained unstable.

Vivi stared at the notification for another moment before letting out a quiet laugh.

It seemed the system had no intention of letting her spend the apocalypse hiding underground. She needed experience to strengthen herself.

Fine.

She had never planned to remain in the bunker forever anyway. Truly, the real opportunities to grow stronger would be found outside, among the gates, the dungeons, and the countless dangers that would soon reshape the world.

If she wanted to climb to the top, she couldn’t avoid danger forever.

The system was right. She needed experience. She needed to to level up. Most importantly, she needed to become strong enough that nobody could ever use her as bait again.

Vivi dismissed the panel with a thought and walked toward the storage shelves.

Before leaving, she would need to prepare properly.

Seven days outdoors would be nothing like staying in a comfortable bunker.

And in this new world, a single careless mistake could cost her life.

This time, she would make sure she was the one who survived.

She almost cried as she went to lie in her bed. “This is not going to be easy!”

    The camera zoomed in, but the reporter’s voice drowned beneath the shouts of people behind her.“These unidentified structures appeared shortly after the earthquake stopped,” she shouted over the commotion, her eyes wide with terror. “Similar formations have been reported in several major cities worldwide. Authorities have not confirmed their origin or whether they pose any immediate danger.”The camera shook as someone in the crowd shouted that another rift had just torn open in the distance.The reporter turned, and for a brief moment, the screen captured the full structure looming above the distant buildings.Vivi slowly exhaled, seeing that the world has really changed. There was no going back.She watched as people gathered in the streets, pointing toward the enormous portal. Some recorded it on their phones. Others stood frozen, unable to comprehend what they were seeing.The gate did not move. It did not attack. It simply hung above the streets, silent and mysterious.And that

    Vivi’s scream tore through the bunker as she clawed at her chest, desperately trying to pull out whatever was causing the unbearable agony.But there was nothing to grab.The crystals continued fusing with her one after another, their golden light pouring into her body.Her veins glowed beneath her skin, her heart pounded so violently that she thought it might burst.She tried to crawl away, but her limbs refused to obey her.“WHY?!”Tears streamed down her face.“WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME?!”The final few crystals circled her head and for one brief moment, everything stopped, even the light did and the terrible pain seemed to recede slightly.Vivi lay on the floor, gasping desperately for air.Suddenly, the remaining crystals rushed toward her at once and her body seized.A blinding flash engulfed the room.“AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!”The force of the impact lifted her off the floor and hurled her backward.Her body slammed into the concrete wall with a sickening thud before dropping heavily ont

    4:15 PM.Deep beneath the industrial outskirts of Rostia, Vivi Shepard looked at her phone and it read 4:15 PM.The bunker was silent.The emergency lights cast a faint glow across the concrete walls, illuminating the rows of neatly organized supplies she had spent days gathering.Everything she needed to survive the apocalypse had been arranged in its proper place.Vivi sat on the edge of her bed, staring at her phone. “By now, the earthquake should’ve stopped.Still, she was curious about what was happening out there.Her phone device had lost its network connection hours ago.She had already tried calling emergency services, checking the news, and accessing the internet, but nothing worked.The main earthquake lasted for eight hours.Vivi spent eight hours of hearing the building above her groan and shudder while she remained locked inside her underground shelter, wondering whether the entire structure would collapse on top of her, turning her vault into an unrecoverable tomb.At o

  • Reborn Before Doomsday with a System   11: The fusion

    3:30 PM.The streets of Rostia had become almost unrecognizable.Thick, grey dust hung heavy in the air like fog. Fires burned in several districts, their flames illuminating piles of rubble and abandoned vehicles.The survivors who were still able to move wandered aimlessly through the wreckage, desperately searching for family members and friends.Some dug through the ruins with their bare hands. Others called for help until their voices became hoarse.A young woman knelt beside a collapsed building, clawing at the broken concrete.“Please! Somebody help me!”Her fingers were bruised and bleeding as she kept crying out and digging. “My little brother is in there! He’s only eight! Please!”A red-haired young man approached her with a pale face. “Miss, you need to step back. This building is unstable. It could collapse further.”She looked at him as though he had spoken another language. “My brother is in there.”“I know, but…”“MY BROTHER IS IN THERE!”Her scream echoed through the r
