Ashley’s POV

My eyes darted towards Aries’s side pocket, where her dagger was tucked. Without wasting another second, I slipped it out and dragged its sharp edge across my palm.

The sting made me wince, but I barely had time to register the pain before the first drop of blood hit the ground.

Immediately, the infected stopped. Their heads snapped in my direction, and the ones that had been chasing Xavier turned away from him. Even more began emerging from the bushes, drawn towards the scent of m

  • Transmigrated seven days before the Apocalypse    Chapter 37: The Necklace

    Ashley’s POVThe sharp nail on the gate pierced it immediately, i slashed his hands with my dagger and followed immediately behind Xavier, keeping my eyes on the dangerous edges.The moment I was safely inside, I reached for the gate and helped pull it shut. A horrible splattering sound followed.The infected had lunged towards us, only to be impaled by the sharp objects attached to the gate. Their bodies crashed against it, and blood splattered across the entrance.I instinctively stepped back. “That was a nice idea!” Xavier exclaimed, breathing heavily.I looked at him, then at the gate before breaking into a smile. “I know, right?”He chuckled under his breath, wiping some of the blood from his face. Before either of us could say anything else, a series of arrows flew past us.The archers had resumed shooting from their checkpoint, targeting the infected gathered outside the gate.“Xavier!” Aries came running towards us, and before Xavier could say anything, she threw her arms arou

    Ashley’s POVMy eyes darted towards Aries’s side pocket, where her dagger was tucked. Without wasting another second, I slipped it out and dragged its sharp edge across my palm.The sting made me wince, but I barely had time to register the pain before the first drop of blood hit the ground.Immediately, the infected stopped. Their heads snapped in my direction, and the ones that had been chasing Xavier turned away from him. Even more began emerging from the bushes, drawn towards the scent of my blood.Damn it! There were even more of them now.The archers had been shooting continuously from their checkpoint, releasing one arrow after another, but it wasn’t enough. The infected kept coming, seemingly oblivious to the arrows piercing their bodies. I tightened my grip on the dagger and took off in the opposite direction.“Ashley!”I heard Xavier’s voice somewhere behind me, but I didn’t stop. I needed to draw them away from him, even if it meant putting myself in danger.A few seconds la

  • Transmigrated seven days before the Apocalypse    Chapter 35: The Ultimate Sacrifice

    Ashley’s POVWe turned at the sound of approaching footsteps and saw Xavier, Aries, and the guards returning with several villagers. They weren’t on their horses. Instead, they were running towards us, with Xavier carrying a young child in his arms.“Open the gates!” Xavier screamed from a distance.My eyes widened. Behind them was a horde of infected, charging towards the castle with terrifying speed. The last plank was still being nailed into place, and the guards immediately abandoned their work.“Open them! Hurry!” I shouted.Several men rushed towards the gates, pulling at the heavy wooden structures. The additional planks had made them considerably heavier, and dragging them open was already a struggle. Closing them again would be an even bigger problem.Fortunately, my bow and arrows were still behind me. I quickly grabbed my bow, pulled out three arrows, and positioned them against the string.“Archers, take your positions!” I commanded.The guards stationed at each post immed

  • Transmigrated seven days before the Apocalypse    Chapter 34: Where Is Xavier?

    Ashley’s POV“I need a good number of the villagers to assist with the woodwork. We’re reinforcing the castle gates, and the men currently working on it aren’t enough.” I said.“That’s all?” Elara flashed me a smile. “Of course! I’ll be happy to help.”“Thank you. Let’s get them.”We headed straight for the large basement. The moment we entered, I took in the sight before me. Foldable beds had been arranged neatly in different corners, with blankets spread over them. Some of the villagers were fast asleep, while others sat in little groups, chatting and playing games to keep themselves occupied. A few heads turned as we walked in.Elara immediately stepped forward and began calling out to some of the younger boys around our age. “Hey! You lot, come over here. We need your help with something.”They exchanged curious glances before getting to their feet. “What’s happening?” one of them asked.“We have some work to do outside. Nothing too difficult, so come along,” Elara replied.Within

    Ashley’s POVI bowed respectfully before King Uthred, who sat comfortably on his throne. The throne room was unusually quiet. There were no subjects around, only the king, me, and a few guards stationed at a distance.“Your Highness, you sent for me?” I asked, straightening after my bow.“Yes, Ashley. Come closer.” He gestured with his hand, and I took a few steps forward. “I wanted to know how things were progressing. Is everything going according to plan? Do you need any additional assistance?”I slowly exhaled. I had mentally been scared but it was for nothing. “Well.” I began. “It’s been a bit rough, but we’ve managed to secure quite a number of things to prepare for the apocalypse. The basement has been properly secured and prepared for the villagers. They’re being fed, and everyone has a place to rest. We also have enough food and water to sustain us for the next three months, provided we manage our supplies properly.”King Uthred nodded approvingly. “That’s good news. At least

    Ashley’s POVBy the time I stirred awake, Xavier was already out of bed and getting dressed. I blinked a few times, adjusting to the morning light filtering through the windows. As I pushed myself into a sitting position and stretched my aching limbs, he glanced in my direction and chuckled.“Sleepyhead! I’m guessing you had a… wonderful night.” He teased, buttoning his shirt.A smile tugged at the corner of my lips as I nodded. “I did. But where are you going?”He chuckled again, reaching for his belt. “You must have forgotten that we’re in the middle of an apocalypse.”I rolled my eyes playfully. “I haven’t forgotten. I just woke up.”“Right.” He shook his head, still smiling. “I’m going out to see if there are any more survivors we can rescue. You said we have seven days before we completely lose daylight. This is day three.”My smile gradually faded as the reality of our situation settled in.“Alright, then. Let me get dressed. I’ll come with you.”Xavier immediately shook his head
