All Chapters of What?! I Transmigrated into an APOCALYPSE NOVEL!: Chapter 1 - Chapter 7

~Evelyn.If someone had told me yesterday that getting poisoned by my cheating fiancé would result in a second chance at life, I would have thrown my drink right in his face.My last memory was sitting on my couch, gasping for breath while staring at his final text message. Don't bother calling an ambulance, Ev. The drink will finish you off in minutes. I need your savings to start over with Sarah.And then, total darkness.Only, I didn't wake up in a hospital. I woke up here.My head pounded as a completely different set of memories flooded my brain. I wasn't just Evelyn anymore. I was also the exhausted wife from the doomsday survival web novel I had been reading right before I died. In that story, this body belonged to a miserable woman who worked two jobs to support a parasite of a husband and his abusive family, only to be thrown out into a freezing blizzard to die when the world collapsed.I scrambled off the narrow bed and checked the phone resting on the blanket.September 1.

~ EvelynThe glass doors of the city registry swung shut behind me, and for the first time in years, the air I breathed tasted sweet and unpolluted. I clutched the certified divorce decree in my hand, the crisp paper feeling like a passport to a brand new life.Yet, as I stood on the busy sidewalk, a strange dizziness washed over me. Sometimes it still felt like a fever dream. I was Evelyn, a woman who had just choked down poisoned wine served by her cheating fiancé in a high rise apartment downtown. Now, my soul was trapped inside the pages of a doomsday web novel I had been reading right before I died. Eighty days left. Eighty days before the global deep freeze wiped out civilization. But right now, I needed to celebrate my freedom.I hailed a cab and directed the driver straight toward an expensive restaurant in the financial district. In my past life, my toxic fiancé had kept me on a strict budget while he drained my savings for his own debts. In this fictional world, the original

~ Evelyn.The deafening roar of demolition drills echoed across the manicured lawns of the Mallory estate, but it was entirely drowned out by the sound of furious howling at the front entrance.I stood by the second floor window, watching as Arthur and Max rattled the heavy iron perimeter gates with both hands. They had caught wind of my new property through neighborhood gossip, and their predatory instincts had immediately kicked into overdrive.Instead of waiting on the balcony, I walked down the grand staircase, my heels clicking sharply against the marble floor, and marched straight toward the front gates. The construction workers paused, watching in bewilderment as I approached the barrier where my former family was losing their minds."Open these gates right now, you ungrateful thief!" Arthur shrieked, his face flushed a dark, bloated red as spittle flew through the bars. "You think you can sneak around buying multi million dollar villas while my family suffers? That money belon

~ Evelyn."You don't get it, Evelyn; we can't open this thing. Even if we tired," he gestured toward the hatch, "this thing is older than half my crew. If we damage the mechanism, don't blame me.""Just open it, Noel."He muttered something under his breath before signaling two workers to position themselves beside the cutting equipment.The machine roared to life.Sparks flew as the workers cut through the corroded metal around the locking mechanism. The noise echoed through the basement, forcing me to step back.After nearly twenty minutes, Noel raised his hand."Stop!"The machine fell silent.He crouched beside the hatch and examined the cut."Try lifting it."Two workers inserted metal bars beneath the edge and pulled with all their strength.Nothing happened.They tried again when finally, a deep metallic groan escaped from beneath the concrete, and the hatch shifted upward by a few inches.Cold, stale air rushed out of the opening, and without thinking, I stepped back."What th
