LOGINWhen the apocalypse came, she lost everything. Starving, hunted, and desperate, she trusted the one man she loved… only for him to betray her in the cruelest way possible. He stole her last supplies to please another woman and left her to die in a sea of the undead. But death wasn’t the end. She woke up days before the world collapsed. After cutting ties with her ungrateful ex and his parasitic family, a mysterious voice awakens in her mind, LUS, a Level-Up System designed to help her survive the coming end. With knowledge of the future and a system guiding her every move, she begins to prepare. She stockpiles resources, builds a base, and learns how to fight back against the horrors that once destroyed her. And when the apocalypse arrives again… she’s ready. But survival isn’t the only thing waiting for her in this new life. A silent killer who watches her like prey. A manipulative genius who wants to unravel her secrets. A gentle protector who sees the girl she hides. And a dangerous man who thrives in chaos. As the world burns and power shifts, they’re all drawn to her, each with their own motives, each with their own darkness. Even her past refuses to stay buried. Because now, the man who once abandoned her is back, broken, desperate, and begging for a second chance. Too bad she has no time for regrets. Not when she’s busy rising to power… and building a kingdom in the ruins of the world.
View MoreDaniel moved fast. Medical training took a back seat to pure protective instinct. He grabbed the heavy blanket from the corner of the mattress and wrapped it securely around himself, a small, tight smile flickering across his face for half a second. Above everything else, he did not want anyone—especially the scouts—to walk in and see Ara exposed or vulnerable with him in the dark. He pulled on his trousers and shirt quickly, practiced motions, buckled his belt, and crossed the small apartment to the door.He unlatched the deadbolt and pulled the wooden door open.Freddy almost fell straight into the room. His weight had been pressed hard against the frame. Behind him stood Eska, Trish, and two other frontline players—Brant and Sera. All four of them were bleeding heavily. Their uniforms hung in shredded strips. Faces pale, streaked with dirt, blood, and pure exhaustion. One of Brant’s sleeves was soaked through to the elbow. Sera was limping, putting almost no weight on her left leg.
Ara set down hard on cracked pavement, far from the lights and noise of City Hall. Her boots scraped against broken concrete. The night air still carried the faint metallic smell of the battle she had left behind, mixed with dust and the distant scent of smoke. She had chosen carefully an old apartment building half-collapsed on the quiet edge of the ruins, the kind of place no one bothered with anymore. No lights. No footprints. Just silence and the slow decay of a city that had already given up.She kicked the ground-floor door open with what strength she had left. The lock splintered. Inside, the air was stale, thick with the smell of old plaster and abandoned lives. She carried Daniel across the threshold and laid him down as gently as she could on a thin, dusty mattress shoved into the corner. His head lolled against her arm. She lowered him carefully, then dropped to her knees beside him, breathing hard.The claw wound across his side was still bleeding. Dark blood had soaked th
Ara moved before thought could catch up. Her system tore past every remaining limit and launched her body across the broken asphalt in a single violent blur. One heartbeat she was still standing in the crater of her own shockwave; the next she was already between Daniel and the towering thing that had risen behind him. The world narrowed to the space between them—the descending claws, the exposed back of Daniel’s neck, the absolute certainty that she would not be fast enough if she hesitated even a fraction of a second.She didn’t reach for a weapon. She simply stretched out her hand and let the kinetic force pour through her fingers like lightning. Her palm closed around the zombie leader’s massive skull. Mutated skin and bone gave under the pressure with a sickening resistance. She squeezed harder, refused to let go, and with a raw shout that tore from somewhere deep in her chest drove the entire nine-foot frame straight down into the cracked concrete. The impact sent a visible shoc
Daniel’s eyes swept the parking lot in frantic arcs, trying to make sense of the dark that suddenly felt alive and hostile. The elite zombies were everywhere, closing in from the alleys, from behind the ruined cars, from the shadows of the brick walls. Their muscles shifted under torn gear, and those red eyes burned like coals that refused to go out. His heart hammered so hard he could feel it in his throat. He was a field medic. He knew how to stop bleeding, how to keep someone breathing, how to pull a person back from the edge. Although he can fight, he did not know how to fight the way Ara fought. But when he looked at her—shoulders still trembling, the poison not fully gone from her system—something cold and absolute settled in his chest. He would not stand there and watch her die.His gaze locked onto a stack of old rusted storage barrels near the side wall of an adjacent building, next to a scatter of abandoned construction debris. It was hollow, empty and heavy enough to make
Ara POV: The hideout had become a warzone in under two minutes. Three of Elena's players had made it through the lower entrance before Ronan managed to collapse the stairwell, and the fight that followed was loud and ugly and nothing like the clean action sequences she had seen in movies before th
Ara POV: The hideout was not what she expected. She had pictured something grim. Bare concrete, a single flickering light, maybe a bucket in the corner. What she got instead was a gutted storage room three floors underground with actual furniture, a generator humming in the back, and the smell of
Ara POV: "Do you accept your first mission?" "Absolutely not," Ara said out loud, to empty the air, in an empty lot, like a completely sane person. "No. Who even are you? Get out of my head." The voice said nothing for a moment. Then it said, pleasantly and mechanically and with absolutely no re
Chapter 2: The Day Before The End Ara POV: "Ara? Ara, wake up already!" She shot upright, gasping for air. Her hands flew to her throat first. Then her arms. Then her face. She noticed there were no bites, no blood, and no open wounds oozing something dark and wrong. She pressed both palms flat
