All Chapters of Reborn: I Won’t Save Them Again: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The last thing Liana Hart heard was her mother’s voice. “Don’t waste the food.” Liana stared at the half-empty bottle of water trembling in her hands. Outside the apartment, someone was screaming. A gunshot cracked through the ruined street, then another. The electricity had been gone for eleven days. The water had stopped three days ago. Liana hadn’t eaten a proper meal in two. Yet her family had taken everything—the rice, the canned food, the medicine, even the bottled water she had hidden beneath the bed. Everything. For the past three months she had prepared for this moment. She had worked until her hands turned rough, skipped meals, and sold her jewelry. Every peso she earned had gone toward keeping her family alive. But when the food grew scarce, they decided there wasn’t enough for everyone. And somehow, Liana was the easiest person to sacrifice. “Mom…” Her voice was barely a whisper. “I’m hungry too.” Her mother avoided her eyes. “Your brother needs more food. He’s been s

Liana barely slept.She spent the entire night writing numbers in a notebook—prices, dates, products, companies, locations. Anything she could remember from her first life. The apocalypse had taught her one brutal truth: information was more valuable than money. And she had ninety days of information no one else possessed.At six in the morning, Liana finally put down her pen. “First, I need money.”The storage space was useful, but it wasn’t infinite. Ten cubic meters sounded large until she imagined filling it with food, water, medicine, fuel, clothing, tools, and everything else needed for survival. She needed a bigger space. And the system had already told her how to get one.Survival Points. The more she prepared, the more points she could earn. The more points she earned, the more the space could grow. It was a cycle. But there was one problem. Everything required money.Liana opened her laptop. Three months before the apocalypse, nobody was worried. People were going to work. S

Liana closed the farmhouse door. She could still hear Marcus outside.“What are you hiding?”She ignored him. In her previous life, Marcus had always been like this. Whenever Liana had something, he wanted to know. Whenever she earned money, he wanted a share. Whenever she made a decision without consulting the family, he accused her of being selfish. This time, however, Liana had nothing to explain.She walked toward the kitchen and placed the box of seeds on the counter. A moment later, her phone rang. Mom.Liana stared at the screen. She almost didn’t answer. But she knew her family wouldn’t stop simply because she ignored them.“Hello?”“Liana, your brother said you bought a property.” Her mother’s voice was sharp.“Yes.”“Why didn’t you tell us?”“Because it’s mine.”Silence. Then—“Don’t be ridiculous. We’re family.”Liana closed her eyes. There it was again. That word. Family. In her previous life, that single word had been enough to make her surrender everything—money, food, h

The rumble lasted only a few seconds. Then everything became quiet again.Liana stood in the middle of the farmhouse, staring through the window. The sky was still red—not the warm orange of sunset, but something deeper. Almost unnatural.She looked at the system notification again.[Emergency Mission] Prepare for an unknown environmental event. Time Limit: 14 Days. Reward: Unknown.Liana swallowed. Fourteen days. She had originally believed she had three months. Now she wasn’t sure she even had two weeks.“System.”The blue screen appeared.“Can you tell me what will happen?”[Insufficient information.]“What about my memories?”[Previous timeline data remains useful but is no longer guaranteed to be accurate.]Liana’s expression tightened. “So I can’t rely on the future anymore.”[Correct.]She took a deep breath. Fine. Then she would stop thinking about what should happen. She would prepare for what could happen.---The next morning, Liana went shopping. Not casually. She we

Adrian didn’t answer immediately.Liana watched him through the security camera. Rain had begun falling outside, mixing with the strange white particles that covered the ground.Finally, he spoke. “You shouldn’t.”Liana frowned. “What?”“You shouldn’t trust me.”His answer surprised her. Adrian looked toward the dark road behind him. “But you can judge me by what I do.”Liana remained silent. He continued. “I was part of a rescue team before all this happened. When the blackout started, I was helping people near the highway.” His voice became quieter. “I saw three people collapse after touching the particles.”Liana’s grip tightened around the intercom. “Then why did you come here?”“Because I remembered you.”“From the hardware store?”“Yes.” Adrian glanced at the farmhouse. “You were buying equipment before the blackout. More than an ordinary person would need.”Liana didn’t respond.“I thought you might have prepared somewhere safe.”“You followed me?”“No.” His answer came immedia
