All Chapters of Apocalypse: Rebirth With An Infinite Storage System: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Her arms finally gave out as she collapsed onto the mat, her entire body trembling, chest rising and falling rapidly as she gulped in air.{Congratulations, Host. You have completed the push-ups.}Ivy lay there, staring up at the sky, too exhausted to even move a finger.Her limbs felt like lead.Her lungs burned out beneath it all…There was pride. Raw, quiet and hard-earned.{Next: 50 squats.}"…Can I…" Ivy's voice came out barely above a whisper. "…Can I rest first?"Ding!{You must complete the full strength training sequence before resting. You still have 50 squats and 50 sit-ups remaining. Rest will be permitted afterward.}Ivy shut her eyes briefly, her jaw tightening.Her body screamed in protest.Every muscle ached.But before the system could remind her again....Ivy pushed herself up immediately, her chest rising and falling rapidly as she struggled to catch her breath. Sweat clung to her skin, dampening her clothes, but she didn't stop. Instead, she lowered her gaze to her

"I have been able to secure a large amount of supplies enough to last for months. In truth, what remained in the supermarket could sustain someone for years, but I have only taken what I could reasonably carry and manage for now. There was no need to be greedy. I could always return later when i need more."Ivy gaze lingered on her phone as she read the Scarlett message. Then she played the video underneath it.Scarlett was still inside the supermarket.Shelves stacked high with food and drinks surrounded her, untouched and abundant but outside…Monsters.Their figures roamed restlessly beyond the glass doors, their growls deep, guttural, and chilling. Even through the recording, the sound was so loud and unsettling that Ivy instinctively lowered the volume, not wanting her children to hear.Her fingers tightened slightly around the phone.Immediately, she began to type.Don’t go home yet, Ivy wrote quickly. The outside is filled with monsters. The supermarket still appears safe for n

{The next after that is holding weight with your arms extended and d it trains staying steady under strain and fighting the urge to drop everything.}{Next is the Static Plank. It trains full-body tension control and enduring discomfort everywhere at once.}{Doing all this will also increase your endurance level.}{The reason for this training is because you might be injured but unable to stop. You might need to stay silent while in pain.}{Movement isn't always survival. Stillness is.}{Do you understand, Host?}{Your body will beg you to stop. Your survival depends on ignoring it.}"Oh… I see. I understand," Ivy replied with a faint but steady smile. "Let me rest for thirty minutes, then I'll continue. And once I'm done with these today… the remaining training will be tomorrow."{No problem, Host. You are granted thirty minutes to rest.}With that, Ivy reached for her phone, which lay on the chair beside her.Ever since she dropped that comment under the girl's Scarlett post, her mi

The moment the final count rang out, Ivy let go.The kegs slipped from her lifeless fingers, crashing heavily against the ground with a dull thud as she collapsed right after them.Her entire body hit the floor, her chest rising and falling rapidly as she gasped for air, her lungs burning as if starved of oxygen.For a few seconds, she couldn't move.Couldn't think.Couldn't feel anything but the overwhelming weight of exhaustion pressing down on her.Then....Slowly… painfully…She forced herself to move.Her hand reached out, trembling uncontrollably, as she grabbed one of the kegs. With what little strength she had left, she dragged it closer, unscrewed the lid with stiff fingers, and lifted it shakily above her head and poured the water over her head.It cascaded down her body in a sudden rush, soaking her hair, her clothes. The chill hit her instantly, sharp and shocking, stealing the breath from her lungs.Water dripped from her face as she lowered the empty keg weakly, her body

The next day, Ivy woke up early. She bathed Hope, breastfed her, and then laid her down in her cot. Afterward, she went ahead to take her own bath. Once she was done, she got dressed in an exercise outfit before walking out of the house.Both Aria and Lila were still fast asleep, but Ivy had already prepared their food, so they only needed to wake up and microwave it.She had even written notes on stickers and pasted them onto the meals she had prepared, so her children wouldn't have to look for her while she was busy training.As for Hope, she had made sure to pump breast milk overnight and store it in the warmer to keep it at the right temperature. Although she knew she would still have to return to the shelter whenever Hope started crying, she had already assigned the task to the system."Just inform me whenever Hope is crying. It doesn't matter if I'm in the middle of training. You can pause it....I don't have to start over as long as it's because of Hope," Ivy voiced out.Ding!{
