Intelligent Apocalypse のウェブ小説＆ストーリー

Donna spent years believing the man who married her had saved her and her deaf brother from poverty. She was wrong. Michael never loved her, he only wanted her knowledge and used Donna's inventions to build his failing company into a powerful empire while taking credit for everything she created. He gave her just enough money to keep her brother alive and used that weakness to control her. Then Donna discovered his greatest secret. Her husband was sleeping with his stepsister, Angela. However, she endured their betrayal because she was afraid of losing the only person who mattered to her, but she never expected the world to end. When the flood came, Michael chose Angela and threw Donna and her brother out of their shelter, leaving them to die in the freezing storm. Donna watched helplessly as the storm killed her brother before the flood swallowed her too. Then she opened her eyes. August 12th. Ninety days before the apocalypse, her brother was alive and Michael's empire still depended on her invention. She remembered exactly how the world would end, but this time, she won't be the helpless wife Michael thinks she is. She'll divorce him, take back what he stole from her, destroy his empire, buy the strongest fortress she can find and save everything she needs to survive the coming disaster. Michael thinks he has thrown away a useless wife, he doesn't know the woman he betrayed has already taken back everything that made him powerful.

Thirty days before the world ends, Rue gets a second chance. In her first life, she died because the man she loved chose his pregnant mistress over her, forcing her out of a shelter filled with people seeking safety from the Hollow, creatures that hunted by sound. Now, Rue knows what is coming, and she refuses to die the same way twice. As she prepares for the apocalypse, she crosses paths with Kael Mercer, a guarded stranger who seems to know more than he lets on. Together, they must survive a world where one careless sound can mean death. But as the Hollow grow deadlier and the past catches up with them, Rue discovers that surviving the apocalypse may be easier than surviving the secrets hidden within it.

I died with poison burning in my throat and my husband's knife at my neck. Edward Blackwood married me for my father's money. He held me through nightmares, called me sweetheart, and let me risk my life for his mother's medicine while she faked her fever. Then he tore my father's necklace from my neck and watched me die. But his betrayal wasn't the worst thing I saw that day. Minutes earlier, I watched General Adrik Hale, the man who told the whole country to stay calm, shot in an alley. His killer's last words still echo in my ears: "Project Chimera was never destroyed." Then I woke up in my wedding dress, exactly 365 days before the world ended. This time, I said "I do not" at the altar. I slapped the man who murdered me. I walked out beside my family, and I swore I would keep every one of them alive. Then a military convoy pulled up outside the church. And the man who stepped out of the lead van was General Adrik Hale. Alive. Asking my father for land. Looking at me like he knew exactly who I was. I have one year to stop a conspiracy, save the people I love, and survive the end of the world. And the only man who can help me is the one I watched die.

Rowan Hale spent seven years giving everything to her husband Dominic Pryce and his family: her savings, her career, her health. When the dead rose in the winter after the Great Flood, he had one seat left on the evacuation truck, and he gave it to his mistress. Rowan’s own sister was the mistress, and the child Rowan had raised as a nephew was theirs. Rowan died in the snow with the truth in her mouth like ash. Then she woke up in her own bed, with ninety days left on a clock only she could see. Rowan walks away from the marriage on day one. She has no tears left, only a paper trail and a grandmother’s sealed inheritance that her husband never knew existed. She sells what the end of the world will make worthless and buys what it will make priceless. A strange spatial ability she barely understands is awakening in her hands. The whole neighborhood thinks grief has broken her mind, and her ex-husband is already circling her new money. But this apocalypse is wrong. The weather is turning too early. A silent, watchful neighbor with a soldier’s eyes keeps noticing things about her that no stranger should. And someone is moving through Rowan’s carefully rebuilt life who seems to remember the first timeline too. She died once because she trusted the wrong people. This time she’s counting every day.

I died protecting the people who hated me. For months, I used my survival system to build a safe base for my neighbors. I gathered food, strengthened the walls, enforced the rules, and kept everyone alive but it meant nothing. When they decided a woman shouldn't lead them, they elected a ruthless man instead. My boyfriend chose my best friend. Then they threw me outside the gates. I died surrounded by zombies. But when I opened my eyes again, I was back one week before the apocalypse. This time, I wasn't saving anyone. I claimed the inheritance I'd once rejected, bought an unfinished luxury estate, and began building my own fortress. Then I remembered the thousand experimental neural-control chips I had once been responsible for protecting. If I could make them work, I wouldn't just have walls protecting me. I'd have an army of zombies. My former friends came begging when the world collapsed but I shut the gates in their faces. Ex? Best friend? Get out. In this life, I wasn't helping ungrateful people. I was protecting myself. And maybe the handsome Doctor Tom Edwards.

He gave my place in the shelter I paid for to his mistress, then watched me die on the steps. The man I trusted. The "cousin" he swore was only family. Fifty-nine degrees of sun, and a door that never opened. Then I woke up in my own bed, ninety days before the sun came for the world. Now a glowing screen only I can see is giving me orders, and every one of them is a blow. Expose the cousin. Leave the boyfriend. Sell the house. Sell the company. While the whole city whispers that I've lost my mind, I'm buying every air conditioner I can find and hiding them where nobody will look. They don't know what's coming. I do. Somewhere in this city is the stranger who died trying to open that door for me. And when the heat arrives, everyone will come to my gate. The ones who left me outside will beg the loudest. I will not open it.

Violet Ackland is the genius behind the biggest research lab in Halden City. She is also the secret wife of its CEO, Harrison Barnard, the man who takes the credit for her work and treats her like a shameful secret. When a deadly virus breaks out and the world falls to the dead, he and his mistress lock her out of their penthouse and let the zombies tear her apart. Violet wakes up three weeks before the end of the world, and this time she will not beg. She asks for a divorce and builds a bunker in the mountains while the whole city laughs at her. Only Jude Barnard, her ex-husband's cold step-brother, believes her. He has hated her since the day they met, yet he is the one who died beside her in her last life. But the virus has secrets, and so does he.

My family threw me into the snow to die over a few cans of food. My younger brother stole my grandmother’s ring from my frozen finger. My parents locked the door. And the last thing I heard before dying was a stranger screaming my name. Then I woke up ten days before the eternal freeze. This time, I took back my money, cut off my family, and used the mysterious ring on my finger to build an endless stockpile of supplies. I even secured a research station that could keep me alive when the world turned to ice. I was ready to survive alone. Then I met Rhett Gallagher, a former rescue pilot with warm hands, a dead father’s warnings, and a disturbing connection to the man who had called my name in the snow. He was a stranger to me. So why did holding him feel like remembering a life I had never lived? Meanwhile, my supposedly long-lost brother kept predicting my every move. He knew about my ring. He knew where I was going. And the moment he saw Rhett, he looked like he’d seen a ghost. As the freeze arrived ahead of schedule, I realized my second chance came with a terrible catch. I wasn’t the only one who had come back from the dead. And the man I was beginning to fall for might be the reason my brother was terrified of him. This time, I would survive the apocalypse. But first, I had to discover who had really died in my first life, who had stolen my family’s identity, and why someone was willing to kill to keep the truth buried beneath the ice.
