Prologue
How many years has it been now? Five? Seven? I somehow lost track of time ever since then.All I can say for sure is a long time has passed by, since the world changed. Since the earth itself and the sky ripped open and the monsters came. Like nature shedding its skin for an evolution, but at the cost of the people who were its inhabitants.Since the streets ran red with the blood of the unprepared. The first day was utter chaos. A massacre no one could have ever imagined. Gruesome sights that'd easily send bile rushing through the throats of the weak hearted. And broken buildings where individuals had once planned their lives.The second week? No one could have thought of it as something possible, but it became worse. Like these monsters—despite seeming to possess little to no intelligence—found the torment they inflicted amusing. By the end of the first week, it was all gone. Governments which took years to build were destroyed, and civilization crumbled. Cities were burned, and th
The Beginning of the End
He always thought the world would end in fire or ice. Turns out, it started with a glass of filth and a crowd that wanted to watch him drown in it. "Drink it! Drink it! Drink it!" His classmates' voices echoed through the classroom, steadily growing louder with every second that passed. Levi sat on a bench at the center of this crowd, with his hands curled into fists at his sides. His eyes were locked on the glass cup in front of him. He watched the murky liquid inside ripple as drops of sweat trickled down from the towel Lukas squeezed above it. It wasn't just the sharp sour scent that mixed with the musty smell of moist clothes, but also the faint metallic smell of blood from someone's scraped knee. All of this formed a suffocating pressure, yet Levi remained still. Mind your own business. A number one rule Levi had always abided by ever since the day he woke up at the orphanage. Avoid any unnecessary attention and stay out of trouble. He lived with the belief tha
The System Returns
"Watch out!"With barely any time to react, Levi saw a pair of massive claws swinging towards him.A sharp whistling sound echoed through the forest as it sliced through the air It sliced through the air.Levi rolled to the side, dodging the monster’s. Immediately he raised his head sharp enough to see the talons mercilessly tear through the stone behind him like paper."A freaking year now and I'm still not used to seeing stuff like that," he muttered, gazing at the shredded concrete."Really not the time to space out, Levi!" A male voice rang out. "Another one coming from the left!”Levi turned on instinct, raising his blade just in time to parry the second attack. The force traveled through his bones, making his body shake, but he maintained his stance, remaining firm.The creature stared at him, its face twisting in anger, and Its yellow eyes gleaming with raw hunger.“I guess it's my turn,” a female voice rang in his ears as a streak of violet light rushed past him the chaos. I
An Encounter With Calamity
The System was back.For a moment, neither of them spoke. The wind rustled through the leaves, carrying the distant howls of hidden creatures.Violet crossed her arms, studying him. “So… this system thing told you to kill Duskrend Wolves?”“Well, that sums it up,” Levi replied.Kyle sighed, rubbing the back of his head. “Still not much of a talker, huh?”.“Well,” Kyle continued, a grin creeping onto his face, “selling monster parts is how we make money anyway, so… I guess this is a win-win.”“Assuming you don’t die though.” Violet smirked."Wow," Kyle let out a mock gasp. "Such fragile faith in our dear leader?" Their conversation was interrupted by the sound of a low growl rumbling through the air. Violet turned sharply, eyes locking onto the glowing amber gaze of a Duskrend Wolf.Its black fur glowed faintly under the moonlight. It scraped the ground with its long silver claws as its fangs dripped with dark saliva. Violet groaned in frustration. “Argh... How many more do we have t
GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE, LEVI!
[System Notification][User has refused to flee.] [Initializing new skills to increase user's chances of survival.][New Quest: Survive the encounter with the Calamity Threat.]"Refused, huh?" Levi sighed, gripping the hilt of his blade. "More like 'User doesn’t have a choice.'"This was the first time the system didn't issue a penalty. No reward, either. The stakes were already clear—live or die.Even with the new skills, his odds weren’t promising. Five minutes. That was the longest he could realistically hold out. His body still hadn’t recovered from earlier. Energy reserves were running low and his breaths came in faster than they should. He couldn’t sense Emilia and Zenon’s power enough to be able to give them specific levels, but something in his gut told him—this was beyond anything he had faced before.“I don’t have all day here.” Emilia’s said in a low tone, interrupting his thoughts.“Levi…” Violet’s voice was gentle and soft. She extended a hand, her eyes pleading with h
The Calm After Chaos
"I have to save them...""No, please stop... Don’t touch her...""I said don’t touch her—""Violet!!"Levi’s body jerked violently as he gasped awake. He took in shallow breaths like a man on the verge of drowning, his body covered in sweat. His eyes darted frantically, expecting nothing but trees, wreckage, blood. The last things he saw before losing consciousness. But what he saw was the opposite of that. None of what he had in mind. He blinked, confused as he, gazed at the warm light piercing through the gap left by a half-drawn curtain. The air was warm—not from fire or destruction—but from comfort. As his awareness sharpened back, he noticed he was lying on something smooth and cushioned. A bed?As if suddenly recalling the intense pain, His hands instinctively began to rush across his body, feeling every part of himself. But there were no bruises and no pain. All he felt were, dull aches throbbing in his head but nothing close to the devastation he remembered. He looked aro
An Unwanted Prophecy
Memories.People often say they’re the threads that stitch our identity together — the compass pointing us toward who we are and who we’ve been. They call them keys… to purpose, to growth, to pain. The map to what we’ve lost. The anchor to what we’ve loved.But for Levi… there was no key. No thread. No map. Just blank space.If someone asked him to describe life before waking up at the orphanage, he couldn’t. Not because of some deep-seated trauma, or a willful attempt to forget — but simply because there was nothing there. A void. Like his story only began halfway through the book.And those who were aware of this fact all died in the apocalypse. So when the woman standing in front of him mentioned his lost memories, he could only be at a loss for words. His eyes widened. His pulse quickened. He couldn’t hide it.“You seem... shocked,” the woman said gently, her tone calm — as if she had expected it. “Well, that only makes sense. I’d be shocked too… if I were in your shoes.”Kyle’s
Something Breathing Behind Me
“No.”The word left Levi’s mouth without hesitation. He didn't bother taking a pause to consider what Lyra had to say.Violet turned her head quickly toward him, eyes wide with disbelief. On the other hand, Kyle was blinking continuously, surprised by Levi's sharp retort.They’d both never seen Levi like this before. Not angry—he wasn’t shouting or flailing his arms—but serious. Cold, decisive. They knew he was one with a passive stubbornness, but they'd never seen it in play.And this wasn't just hard headedness, there was something else. It was as if Levi was scared, but not of the woman before him.Most likely, afraid of what her words might mean.Lyra tilted her head slightly, brow rising as though mildly amused, or maybe impressed. After all, who would interrupt, or reject whatever words come out of the Supreme leader's mouth.“You didn’t even hear what I was going to say.”“I told you,” Levi replied flatly, “I already know.”He didn’t shout. Didn’t raise his tone. But the firmne
Too Late to Move
Levi's throat felt as dry as a sandpaper as he swallowed hard. His breathing was shaky—uneven and shallow. Something was behind him—he didn’t need to look to know. He could feel it. Like the air itself had shifted, pressing cold against the back of his neck.Slowly, he began to turn. After all, if it was truly something dangerous, turning his back to it wasn't the best idea.His body was tense, every muscle coiled as his eyes scanned the twisted, shadow-cloaked trees. Then—just at the edge of his eyes, he saw a movement.Instinctively, He snapped his head in that direction. But there was nothing. It was gone. Whatever stood there earlier had disappeared leaving nothing but gnarled trunks and swaying branches.His chest rose and fell rapidly. He clutched it with both hands as panic surged.“Fuck…” he hissed. “Fuck. Fuckkkk!”He turned in a circle, searching wildly.“What even is this?!”Then he heard a beeping sound. The system screen flashed into view before his eyes.[Failed to Resi
Two Lessons
Levi dropped to his knees.His legs gave way beneath him, not from the poison anymore—but from something far worse. His hands trembled violently, palms sinking into the blood-warmed sand. The weight on his shoulders wasn’t just the fall it was a crippling and suffocating despair. Suddenly he heard a thud. It was soft, but heavy. The sound of something landing nearby. Then it rolled. A sickening, wet sound as it tumbled across the sand until it stopped at his kneesLevi blinked. His gaze began to shift downward slowly like time it's was flowing in slow motion. And there it was, her head. The girl’s lifeless, glassy eyes stared up at him, mouth slightly parted as if trying to say something that never came. A thin trail of blood marked the path her head taken to reach him.His breath froze. He tried, but he couldn't look away. It was like his guilt had formed into hands which held his head in place.At this point, his heart wasn't beating, it was hammering. A brutal rhythm, like a war
