All Chapters of Reborn Before Apocalypse: Surviving with Superpowers: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The woman who had ruined my life was screaming in my arms when the monsters came for us. I could hear her nails scraping against my skin as she fought to escape, but I held on tighter. Her body twisted violently, desperate to reach the military convoy disappearing beyond the dunes, while the sound of thousands of claws tearing through the sand grew louder behind us. She wanted to live. After everything she had done, she still believed she deserved to.I tightened my arms around her waist and pressed my cheek against her trembling shoulder. Blood from the wounds on my body was already soaking through my clothes, but strangely, I felt almost peaceful. For two years, I had lived through hell. I had watched cities fall, watched people turn against each other, watched friends become enemies and loved ones become corpses. I had fought for every mouthful of food and every drop of clean water. I had crawled through ruins, slept beneath broken buildings, and killed monsters with weapons that w

I had barely finished telling myself that death would have to run from me this time when I realized I had no idea what this strange space could actually do. If I had truly been given a second chance, I could not afford to waste it on guesswork. The apocalypse was coming, and every advantage I had could mean the difference between surviving and dying a second time.I walked the edge of the courtyard, following the river toward the wall of white fog that swallowed the far end of the space. The grass was cool under my bare feet, and the air smelled clean in a way I had almost forgotten was possible. No matter how far I walked, the fog never seemed to get any closer. It stayed the same distance away no matter how long my legs ached, as if the space itself did not want me to reach it yet.I stopped, frustrated, and closed my eyes instead, picturing myself standing right in front of it. The world blurred around me, and when I opened my eyes again, I was there, close enough to touch the mist

My mother frowned and reached over to press the back of her hand against my forehead. “Did you have a nightmare last night? You are not making any sense.”Kairo leaned back against the sofa, grinning. “Mom, call Uncle. Get him to bring one of those shamans over. Sis is possessed. A bowl of talisman water will sort her right out.”I rolled my eyes at him, though the sight of him joking around like nothing was wrong almost made me want to cry all over again. “I’m not possessed. Weren’t you just asking where Rex and Nido went? Watch this.”I raised my hand toward the empty space in front of the television. A cat and a dog appeared out of thin air, both blinking in confusion at their sudden new surroundings.The dark television screen reflected my mother and brother’s wide, stunned eyes.“Wha… what…” Kairo could not even finish the sentence.Rex caught the scent of his family before either of them recovered. He wriggled his whole body, whining with joy, and leaped straight into Kairo’s la

The next few days blurred together in a steady rhythm of work. We divided the tasks and kept moving, no time to rest.Not long after I arranged for Kairo to take a leave of absence from school, Mirelle King called to tell me it was time to sign the sales contract with the buyer for my old apartment.The signing went smoothly, and just like that, 4.6 million landed in my account.Combined with the five million I’d pulled from my fixed deposit, I suddenly had real breathing room. My confidence for stockpiling shot straight through the roof.My first stop was the city slaughterhouse. I walked in and placed an order that made the owner’s eyebrows shoot up.“Five hundred pigs, five hundred cattle, five hundred sheep,” I said. “After slaughter, I want them butchered and packaged by cut. Clean all the organs and offal too, then deliver everything to the warehouse.”Seeing how decisive I was, he agreed on the spot to prioritize my order.Next, I contacted local farmers and ordered two thousan

Jason’s pen stopped scratching for a moment. I could almost hear him calculating the sheer volume of what I was asking for. But he didn’t ask a single follow-up question. He just said, “Is there anything else you need?”There was so much more I needed. But even with my current budget, I had to draw a line somewhere.“Step five,” I said slowly. “Contact pharmaceutical companies for common medications. Cold medicine, fever reducers, anti-inflammatories, painkillers, and first-aid supplies. Prepare enough of each to fill fifty boxes, delivered along with the food and fuel.”“Last item, vehicles.” I glanced down at my list. “Six Nomadison Navigator RVs, with thirty sets of core parts. Also six Paramount Marauders, again with thirty sets of core parts. Purchase orders completed within a week, delivered directly to the rented warehouse.”Jason confirmed each point carefully. “Understood. I will execute exactly as specified, all transactions under the new company’s name. Do you need me to ar
