Chapter: Chapter 7: The D_Day Chapter Six: The D_DayEthan had barely been going home.For the past few days, he had spent most of his time at his old family house, making preparations for the apocalypse. He only returned to his marital home when necessary, and even then, he never stayed for long.Victoria was not happy about it.“Ethan, what exactly is going on with you?” she asked over the phone. “You hardly come home anymore. Every time I call you, you’re either busy or in a hurry to end the conversation. What am I supposed to think?”Ethan sat at the table, studying a map spread out in front of him.“What do you want me to say, Victoria? I’ve told you I’m busy.”“Busy with what? You can’t keep treating me like this. I’m your wife, and I’m pregnant. You should be spending more time with me, not disappearing for days!”He glanced at the countdown displayed by the Doomsday Archive.TIME REMAINING: 1 DAY, 3 HOURS.Only a little more than a day remained before everything changed.“I have things to take care of,” h

Chapter: Chapter 6: The First Hidden ResourceChapter 5: The First Hidden ResourceEthan had barely driven out of his neighborhood when the Archive appeared.[NEW OBJECTIVE AVAILABLE.]He glanced at the blue display hovering above his dashboard.“What now?”[HIDDEN RESOURCE DETECTED.][LOCATION: OLD NEWTON WATER TREATMENT FACILITY.][RESOURCE VALUE: EXTREMELY HIGH.][ACQUISITION WINDOW: LIMITED.]Ethan frowned.The old water treatment facility?He remembered the place. It had been abandoned years ago after a newer facility was built outside the city. The buildings were still standing, but the surrounding area had become overgrown, and very few people had any reason to visit.In his previous life, the facility had become important during the early stages of the apocalypse. Clean water was one of the first things people struggled to obtain once the city’s infrastructure began to fail.But the Archive was pointing him toward something more specific.“What resource am I looking for?”[RESOURCE IDENTIFICATION: RESTRICTED.]Ethan tight

Chapter: Chapter 4: The Wrong FatherChapter 4: The Wrong FatherEthan arrived home just as Victoria was setting the dining table.The moment she heard the front door open, she turned around with a bright smile.“Babe! You’re here!”She hurried toward him and wrapped her arms around his waist. Ethan stood still for a brief moment before returning the hug.He remembered this day too well.The excitement in her voice. The smile on her face. The way she had rushed to welcome him home.Back then, he had thought he was the luckiest man alive.Now, all he could think about was the blood on his hands and the locked shelter door. She was so good at pretending, this was all he could think of at this moment. “You took your time,” Victoria complained lightly, pulling away from him. “I’ve been waiting for you.”“Sorry. I had a few things to take care of.” “It’s fine.” She took his hand and pulled him toward the living room. “Come and sit down. I have something to tell you.”Ethan followed her.He already knew what she was going t

Chapter: Chapter 3: The First InvestmentChapter 3: The First InvestmentEthan sat at the dining table with his laptop open, a notebook beside him, and his phone in his hand.Six days and twenty hours.That was how much time he had before the first catastrophic event.He needed money, supplies, weapons, and somewhere safe to stay when the world collapsed. He also needed to think beyond the first few days. In his previous life, the people who survived the longest were not necessarily the strongest. They were the ones who prepared early and understood what was coming.He opened his banking application and checked his balance.It was less than he wanted.He had some savings, but not enough to buy everything he would need. His salary would not solve the problem either, and he couldn’t waste time waiting for money that might arrive too late.“Let’s see what I can work with.”He wrote down his available cash, his savings, and the money he could withdraw without raising unnecessary questions. Then he opened his cryptocurrency accou

Chapter: Chapter 2:The CountdownChapter2–The countdown . [Welcome back, Ethan Cole.][Your second life begins now.]He read the messages again, waiting for them to disappear.They didn't."What the hell is this?"He tapped the screen, but nothing happened. He tried swiping the messages away, then pressed the power button to turn the phone off.The screen went black and back to normal again Ethan let out a breath.Maybe he was hallucinating, he thought . Perhaps the pain of dying had been so intense that his mind had created this strange dream to protect him from the truth.He looked around his bedroom again.Everything appeared normal. His clothes were scattered over the chair near his wardrobe, his laptop sat on the desk, and a pair of sneakers lay beside the bed. There was no blood on the floor. No broken windows. No smell of rotting flesh.He was alive but he still couldn’t believe itEthan grabbed his phone again and unlocked it. He went straight to the date.He checked the year, the month, and even the time.

Chapter: Chapter 1: DeathdayChapter 1: DeathdayEthan Cole could barely stand.Blood ran down his forehead, blurring his vision as he stumbled through the abandoned street. His right leg dragged behind him, and every breath he took was sending a sharp pain through his chest. The backpack hanging from his shoulders weighed him down but he had to keep walking. .He had three bottles of water left, half a pack of crackers, and a knife with a broken handle.That was all he had after spending the last two days searching for supplies for his pregnant wife.Victoria had been waiting for him at their shelter, worried about the baby and complaining about how little food they had left. Before he left two days ago , Ethan had promised to return with enough supplies to last them several days.A low growl came from behind him.Ethan turned and saw three creatures crawling over the wreckage of a car. Their gray skin stretched over twisted bodies, and their long claws scraped against the metal as they climbed down.His stomach
