Chapter 1

"Don't you know how to greet your instructor when you see him? Village idiots like you have no manners, do you? Do you think you can throw that attitude around just because training is over? Get down to the floor, right now!"I froze at the man yelling at me. When I looked up, I realized it was our boot camp instructor, Howard Enders, with my childhood sweetheart, Yvette Lambert, standing next to him. At a glance, they looked more like a couple than I did with Yvette. While still in a daze, I looked at the time. This was the day before the world was hit with a high temperature. Had I returned to the past? Hate started brewing within me. If Howard had not suddenly requested all of us to hand over our water source in my past lifetime and backed out on his promise, and if Yvette had not chosen to defend Howard and agreed to tie me up on the field, I would never have burned to death under the scorching sun."Are you deaf? Are you trying to defy your instructor's orders?" Yvette berat

Our college was surrounded by mountains and was quite remote. The last time my classmates and I headed up to the mountains to train, I found a cave by accident when I got engrossed with the scenery and got separated from the rest. The cave was cool and spacious, and even had a little pool with spring water flowing into it from a crevice. This was the perfect hiding spot.After deciding on the hiding spot, I quickly began my plan to hoard provisions. I started by visiting the supermarket nearest to the college and bought most of the bottled water they had in stock. After that, I bought ten boxes each of instant ramen and canned food, as well as several large packs of snacks and chips.I also purchased large quantities of medical supplies for common illnesses like heat stroke and fever from the drugstore. I had to forgo items such as ice cream due to a lack of proper equipment.When the store owners questioned my purchase, I told them that there was an upcoming college activity and

Team spirit? The mention of this only enraged me.Where was his team spirit when I was forced to hand in all of my bottled water in my past lifetime, and ended up so thirsty that my throat cracked, and eventually left burning alive under the sun? However, I had tolerated him this far, and another one or two hours more would not make a difference. I would just have to find a chance to sneak off later."Fine. I'll be there." The only thing left to do was to give in to his demand. Besides Howard, seven other women were not back yet. Even though Howard and Yvette were the ones who left me under the sun to die in the field, none of the other women felt sorry for me, and they watched me dehydrate and die.Sometimes, one could be an accomplice by being silent, and there was no reason for me to warn them about what was to come."Is this the servant you got for us, good-looking? Is one enough for all of us to order around?" One of the women said unhappily. "What servant?" I questioned m

"What do you mean?" I was shocked."Am I wrong? You're the only guy among us, but you refuse to do something simple like serving up drinks to the girls here. What's with the high and mighty attitude? I've never noticed this before, but after chatting with Mr. Enders, I realized you're just the typical guy who tries to brainwash me into giving you babies. Don't you know this is modern times? You have no right to decide what I do with my body! "That's not your only problem. You're always so possessive of me. All I did was go drinking with a few good friends who happened to be men, and you threw a huge tantrum because of such a small matter. It's my freedom to be friends with whoever I want. Who gave you the right to control me?"If you still want to marry me, you need to prove yourself by changing your attitude. Only then will I consider talking about marriage with you."Yvette listed down all my wrongdoings matter-of-factly, and her words made me laugh with anger. Who gave her the

While it was still dark, I quickly climbed over the walls to leave the college. I had to walk up the mountain as I no longer had a van. Even though it was nighttime, I could already feel the intense heat in the air. It did not take long for me to be drenched in sweat. It was suffocating with the intense humidity, but I finally arrived at the cave, and I instantly felt a cooling sensation from within.Before I could rest, I suddenly felt dizzy and fell to the ground while heaving. Was I suffering from heatstroke? My survival instincts kicked in, and I quickly removed all my clothes, using the last of my strength to tear off fever relief patches and stick them all over my body. After that, I chewed and swallowed some heatstroke medication. I felt much better after that, and I checked the weather report on my phone. The Earth's temperature had risen to about 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Once the sun rose, the horrible heatwave would spread across the Earth."Will I really be able to make

I rolled my eyes. Those boxes of water belonged to me. He had no right to accuse me of keeping everything for myself. So, I pretended to be caught in the middle with my reply.[That's not what I meant, Mr. Enders. I don't even know if I can keep myself safe at a time like this.][Can you bear to watch all the ladies die of thirst? What kind of man are you?! If you're a man, hand over your bottled water. Don't worry, I'll keep everything with me in one place and ration them out fairly.]My eyes rolled even further. I wanted nothing more than to leave the group chat and ignore all of them. However, I did not want to miss the upcoming drama, so I typed a message in reply.[All right, but I left for breakfast in town early this morning. I didn't expect the weather to suddenly turn so hot, and I don't think I can make it back now. Maybe you should just get it directly from my room.][Why are you always running out of the hostel? Who are you seeing outside of college? You aren't using y

"What did you just say?" Yvette was taken aback."I said I don't want to be a son-in-law of the Lamberts. Didn't you hear me? You're no treasure yourself," I repeated.Yvette's tone started to be rough as she stammered for a long time before saying, "Are you throwing a tantrum again? I'll forgive you since you're out buying water for us. Just bring the water back right away, and I'll consider letting you marry me based on your performance."After that, she hung up right away, as if afraid she would hear something she did not want to. Where did she get the confidence from? I decided to ignore her as I pulled out a cold watermelon from the pool. The sweet, cooling taste of watermelon filled my mouth instantly. After experiencing the torment of the rising temperature in my past lifetime, this felt like redemption, and I could not help but tear up.After I was done eating, I turned on the surveillance app again. Everyone was gathered in the hall. The air conditioning was working we

Chapter 8

Just like that, a week passed without me picking up any calls.They could only drink from the tap for the last few days or ransack other hostels for snacks or canned food. One day, they suddenly remembered the supermarket outside of college, so they headed there in a group, but they returned looking bruised, and they failed to get anything to eat or drink. It looked like the store owner had taken my advice.The moment they returned, Howard immediately took the best spot under the air-conditioning while ordering all the women to find food or water. Everyone was thirsty, hot, and hungry, and they were full of anger. One of them burst out suddenly, "Didn't you always say you would pamper us, Mr. Enders? But I don't see you doing anything but order us around.""Yeah! We're thirsty and tired too.""Stop hogging the air-conditioning. Are you even a man?"All the women kept complaining about Howard, and it only annoyed him. He suddenly grabbed one of the women's hair and slapped her
