All Chapters of Apocalypse: Rebirth With An Infinite Storage System: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

"MAMA!"Aria and Lila screamed at the same time, both girls throwing themselves against Ivy's sides on pure instinct.The footsteps kept coming.And then the first one stepped out of the darkFive meters tall.A rotting giant, arms thick as tree trunks, fingernails worn down to black blades.It moved with the slow, absolute certainty of something that had never needed to hurry.Ivy's body was still recovering from labor three days ago.She had no weapon.She had no strength.She had nothing.She spread her arms anyway."Aria. Lila. Get behind me. NOW."The monster was faster.One massive hand came down and closed around Aria before Ivy could move.Her daughter was yanked into the air .... eight years old and suddenly weightless .... her small arms thrashing, her hands reaching and reaching for someone who couldn't reach back."MAMA SAVE ME! I don't want to die! MAMA! MAMA!"Ivy ran but it did nothing.The distance between them was absolute.She could only watch as the creature lifted

Ivy watched him process everything with nothing but mild contempt.She had already pulled the documents from the drawer.... the divorce agreement and the property sale contract, both complete. She had drafted these exact papers once before in another life… and never gotten to use them.This time, she would.She slid them across the table."Sign. Thumbprint. Five hundred thousand into my account by tomorrow. Not one dollar short."Adrian hesitated, staring at the figure.Five hundred thousand.His hand trembled slightly. He didn't have that kind of money.Maya didn't hesitate.She snatched the pen and shoved it back into his hand."SIGN. At this price, you don't think.... you sign."He did.The moment his thumbprint hit the paper, the voice returned in Ivy's mind .... calm, precise, like a system notification.{Warning: Adrian Brooks does not have sufficient funds to complete the agreed payment.}Ivy said nothing.She already knew.The casino. Every weekend. The debts. The loan sharks.

From the other end of the line came Ivy's voice ....calm in a way that was almost frightening."Maya, I genuinely don't understand what you're talking about. I moved out and left you the house. You should be THANKING me.""THANKING YOU?!" Maya shrieked. "YOU TOOK EVERY PIECE OF FURNITURE! You didn't leave so much as a BED! WHERE are we supposed to SLEEP?!"No matter how Maya screamed, Ivy's voice remained cold as ice."You better calm down Maya or you're going to hurt your baby and yeah I apologize for not clarifying sooner but the contract states it quite clearly. What I sold was the house and its physical structure. Furniture, appliances, personal property.... none of that was ever included in the sale. Those items belong to ME. I bought every single one of them with my own money."Maya sputtered, momentarily struck speechless, her hand rested on her stomach.Adrian seized the phone from her, his voice dropping into something low and threatening."Fine. Then tomorrow we go in and fi

"Where are we going, Mama?" Aria asked, curiosity shining brightly in her eyes as she watched Ivy move briskly around the shelter.Ivy had been busy packing a large bag, carefully filling it with a variety of snacks, bottles of water, juice packs, a few toys, and even some educational books to keep her daughters occupied.She knew today was going to be a long day.And she couldn't afford to leave her daughters behind.Not when the shelter was still in such poor condition. If she ever wanted to leave them there safely, it would only be after she had properly renovated the space."We're going to get materials to renovate our new home, darlings," Ivy finally replied, turning to them with a warm smile spread across her face. "Are you both excited?""Yes, Mama!" Aria and Lila responded in unison, their faces lighting up."I'm happy we're no longer living with Daddy," Aria added softly, her small voice carrying more weight than it should. "Now it's just you and us. Nobody will bully you any

"Alright it's time to go to bed." Ivy murmured under her breath, her hand rested on her stomach. "Why do I feel terribly hungry though? I just had dinner not quite long and now I'm hungry." She added with a frown and sad expression on her face.Just then...she suddenly remembered something making her face lighten up instantly.She had remembered keeping some sandwiches in the system this morning. She purposely didn't keep it in her children lunch as she knew they were going to eat it.Since she had gotten pregnant...she always kept small meals away Incase she feels hungry again.Without wasting much time...and since the system knows exactly what she's thinking about...it widen it's interface allowing Ivy to look through it, all while organizing her other supplies inside the system space even though that's not why she was here tonight.At some point, she pulled out a boxed meal containing the sandwich....the main reason why she had to check the system.It would have gone cold by now.
