Chapter 1

In the final second before my consciousness slipped away, my mind was filled with nothing but my wife's ice-cold gaze.Savannah Lane, the woman I had loved desperately for seven years, had just killed me for another man. That soul-shattering pain drowned out even the agony of having my special abilities ripped from my body.I didn't understand. What had I ever done to her to deserve such cruelty?When the apocalypse hit, I'd thrown myself into every dangerous mission so she could live better. I came home covered in blood and wounds more times than I could count. All I got in return, however, was cold-blooded murder.I let out my last unwilling breath and died with resentment.Maybe my resentment was too strong, because the next thing I knew, I was trailing after Savannah in the form of a spirit.She was in the lab, her face glowing with joy as she handed the vial containing my stolen special ability to her true love, Edmund Colson.She said, "Ed, here it is—the special ability I

Chapter 2

Since the apocalypse began, humanity had all but vanished. Seizing another person's special abilities had become disturbingly common.For an ability wielder, each special ability was as vital as one's heart itself. Even minor damage to it could bring devastating consequences, let alone forcibly ripping it out of the wielder.I was the person with the most special abilities on the entire planet. I carried the fate of mankind on my shoulders in the fight against the zombie hordes. I spent every waking second on guard against betrayal and watching for knives in the dark.Yet it never once crossed my mind that the fatal blow would come from Savannah, my own wife.When she handed me that glass of water, I drank without a shred of suspicion. The next instant, tearing agony exploded through every nerve in my body.Even then, I didn't suspect her. I thought some enemy had poisoned me. I begged her to call for help.It was only when she showed no surprise at my reaction and calmly took ou

Chapter 3

Savannah successfully implanted the special ability into Edmund's body.He couldn't wait to test it. A blinding bolt of lightning erupted from his palm, shattering all the glass in the lab.His face lit up with wild excitement. "I finally have a special ability! I won't have to live under everyone's scorn anymore!"He grabbed Savannah's hands and looked into her eyes tenderly. "Sav, without you, I would've been called a useless piece of trash my whole life. You're the most important woman in my life."She shook her head seriously. "Even without powers, you were never a waste. Those people couldn't see your worth. Chase was just lucky that he awakened so many special abilities. How could he ever compare to you? Now, you have a special ability, too. If you ask me, he should step down as captain and let you have it."She looked so contemptuous at the mention of me that it was as if I were rotting garbage that she couldn't kick far enough away.Every word out of her mouth stabbed str

Chapter 4

I watched as Edmund and Savannah exchanged coy glances and suggestive looks in that cramped room. A storm of grief and fury roared inside me.I tried with everything I had to tear myself away from this suffocating scene, but some invisible tether yanked me back, chaining my soul to Savannah's side.Just then, a phone rang. Savannah's face twisted with annoyance. She answered and snapped, "I'm at Ed's place now. Make it quick!"There was a long silence on the other end. She was about to hang up impatiently when a voice, low and shaking with barely-contained rage, finally came through. "Savannah, Chase is dead. How can you still be in the mood to be with another man?"It was Sean Tate, my teammate.Savannah rolled her eyes. "Tell Chase to quit the theatrics. Does he really think I'll fall for this? All I did was give one of his special abilities to Ed. Is he petty enough to make up lies like this to fool me?"Sean's voice abruptly grew louder as he asked incredulously, "What? You'r

Chapter 5

Early the next morning, Savannah came home glowing.I couldn't help looking forward to her reaction when she saw my corpse. Would she show even a shred of regret?But the moment she pushed the door open, I saw that my corpse was gone. Sean had probably taken it away after discovering my death.Savannah frowned and called out my name. When no answer came, she clicked her tongue in irritation. "He's so petty. What kind of grown man acts like this and runs away from home? I just need to crook my finger for him to come crawling back."With that, she turned around and left to go to Edmund again, humming cheerfully.She'd probably forgotten something. Ever since the apocalypse started, I'd constantly been out on missions. I worried that I wasn't spending enough time with her, so on the rare days I had off, I never stepped outside the house. I just wanted to be with her a little longer.In hindsight, every single day I stayed home, she'd probably wished I'd hurry up and leave so she cou

Chapter 6

Edmund's face went from crimson with humiliation to dark with anger. He grabbed Savannah's wrist and stormed out of the assembly hall. Even after they'd left, the jeers and laughter still chased them down the street.Once they reached a deserted corner, Edmund flung Savannah's hand away. His expression twisted into something feral as he roared, "Why was the ability so weak? Do you have any idea how humiliating that was? Did you lie to me? This isn't Chase's power at all, is it? Where the hell did you get this from?"Savannah had no idea what had gone wrong. She rubbed her aching wrist, looking wronged and confused. "Ed, I swear I didn't lie to you—I took the ability straight from Chase's body. I… I don't know why it turned out like this…"Edmund breathed hard and forced himself to calm down. He knew how Savannah felt about him. She wouldn't deceive him.He grabbed her by the shoulders and pleaded, "Can you get me another one of Chase's abilities? You saw how weak the lightning-base

Chapter 7

My corpse lay on a slab of ice. Because my special ability had been torn out of me, I looked like a deflated balloon, like I'd aged 20 years overnight.Savannah stumbled to the ice bed, her hands shaking as she lifted the ring hanging from my neck.It was our wedding ring. After the apocalypse, I'd worried about losing it on missions, so I'd strung it on a cord and worn it like a pendant ever since.Her voice quivered as she asked Sean, "Chase is just recovering, right? He'll get better, won't he?"He crushed her delusion without mercy. "Chase died yesterday."Savannah collapsed over my corpse and sobbed her heart out. "Chase, get up! I won't allow you to die! Get up right now! I'll never throw another tantrum, I promise. Just don't leave me, please…"Seeing how agonized she was only filled me with bitter irony. Was she devastated because of my death, or was it just because no one would be left to keep her and Edmund fed and comfortable?If her misery was because of me, then tha

Chapter 8

Savannah wandered out of the camp, looking like her soul had been ripped out of her body. Only when she reached the front door of what used to be our home did she snap to her senses. All her belongings had been tossed out of the house, and workers were inside.She rushed forward in panic to stop them. "What are you doing? This is my home! I'll report you for breaking and entering!"One of the workers gave her a tired look and handed over an official notice. "Chase Gray is dead, and you're an ordinary civilian. You no longer have enough points to maintain this residence, so we're repossessing the place per regulations. Civilians live in the East District. Rent is cheaper there."The East District was basically the slums. Dozens of people crammed into a single dorm, and the environment there was horrible. But in an apocalypse, having a roof over one's head was already more than many dared dream of.Savannah froze. It had never once crossed her mind that something like this could happ

Chapter 9

Savannah fell to the floor again. She clamped her hands over her ears, face twisted in denial. "That's impossible! Chase loved me—he'd never regret marrying me!"Edmund laughed, looking cold and mocking. "Now, you remember he loved you? Where was that thought when you killed him?"You're truly pathetic. The man's dead, and suddenly you think he's precious. You never even mentioned him once when you clung to me every day. Everything in this place is mine now that you've given it to me. Don't even think about taking it back. Now, scram!"He shoved her out and slammed the door in her face.Savannah pounded on it and screamed curses at him, but he didn't respond.I watched things play out without even batting an eye. She was no longer the woman I'd once carried in my heart. This was what she deserved.With nowhere to go, Savannah went back to Sean and dropped to her knees in front of him. She begged him to let her see my body again.She stared at my pain-contorted face, collapsed to

Chapter 10

Savannah gripped the dagger hidden in her arms and drove it hard into Edmund's stomach. Blood gushed out in an instant, soaking through his clothes and dripping steadily from the hilt onto the floor.Terror twisted his face as he begged for mercy, "Sav, I know I was wrong! Please, spare me! I'll give everything back to you!"Savannah didn't waver. She yanked the blade out and plunged it in again, over and over. She kept at it until blood spilled from Edmund's mouth, leaving him unable to speak. Then, with a thud, his body hit the floor.I watched the scene as emotions I couldn't name swirled within me. I hated Savannah, but I'd never imagined she would atone for what she'd done to me in this way.She crouched beside Edmund and forced a vial of liquid down his throat. "You don't deserve to keep what belongs to Chase."She extracted the special ability she'd stolen from my body and hurried to where my corpse lay. She carefully tried to return the ability to me.But I was already de
