A man shouted angrily, "What do you think you're doing?!" He was not even thirty, tall and well-built, a proper looker.His name was Mitt Kerry, Tammy's husband. Seeing someone sweep his wife off her feet naturally enraged him, and he rushed forward to stop Ray.'Hah… who told your wife to almost blow my cover?' Ray thought. 'If I don't take her, I'd have to flip the script and deal with you.'With a single kick, he sent Mitt sprawling across the floor. "What a worthless dog, daring to ruin my fun!"Right now, his persona was that of a reckless brute who answered to no one.Mitt curled up in pain, a shriveled mess, unable to intervene. But a woman reached out to block Ray, frowning. "That woman is the resort's property. You can play with her, sure, but only after earning your points. Use the vouchers to access them," she said.She was Mandy Pressley, captain of Team Charlie.Ray snorted. "I just accomplished a major feat for the hotel, and I can't even have one woman? Hmph! Th

After graduating from high school, she got into college, then later passed the civil service exam. That's when she met her now-husband, Mitt Kerry, who also had a government post. His father held a small but useful amount of influence and had already paved the way for his son.Thanks to that connection—and because Mitt was handsome and charming—they married quickly.Married life was relatively calm, but Mitt had a personal issue. It didn't affect intimacy, yet the couple never had children. They went to the hospital, and Mitt even tried alternative medicine, but it didn't yield any results before the apocalypse hit.Fortuitously, his father became an ability user.So, their family quickly established dominance in the neighborhood, feeding off the weaker residents and surviving. At first, Tammy's father-in-law restrained himself, but as time went on—rescue was impossible, the world was sliding into collapse—he began to act without limits: killing and violating at will. Luckily, th

After the apocalypse began, Lilian didn't just awaken her ability—she gained the power to communicate with and control animals. Truly ironic, considering what happened next. She summoned a sounder of feral hogs from the brush and sent them to hunt down one of her "victims," a family of five, and had the hogs tear them apart alive."You love animals so much? Fine—let's see how you like being eaten by them."In reality, there were two victims, but only one lived in Senna City. Lilian didn't yet have the reach to strike beyond the city, so the other was spared—for now.'Tsk tsk. Ruthless and cruel,' Ray thought inwardly. Anyone who became an ability user so early in the apocalypse would have a story like that.After dinner, everyone returned to their rooms. Tammy went hungry. The resort no longer fed anyone; if she wanted food or drink, she had to rely on Ray. And he certainly wouldn't expose the secrets of his spatial abilities for her sake. So tonight, she simply went hungry. One

Watching the surveillance footage, everyone tried to piece things together. They tallied the movements: at the time of the attack, everyone was under camera coverage. No one had slipped into a blind spot. Every individual had been alone, and none carried radios. Coordination? Impossible."Could someone's ability be telepathy?" one person suggested. "Like Professor X… using themselves as a node to link others together?"The possibility hung in the air, but heads slowly shook."If it really were like Professor X, couldn't they just control people directly?" another countered."Maybe it's a weaker version… only able to communicate, not control," the first proposed.The group fell silent. No one had an immediate answer.Mary pressed her hand, signaling them to stop. Her headache was growing. The surveillance offered no clues. Everyone looked innocent. And if the attacker hadn't come from outside the hotel, then what?One person or multiple? If it were a single individual, what kind

In an instant, all five were dead.It was effortless—like squashing five ants.From a distance, Mord kept tossing stones, but then… he saw the horrifying scene unfold."What the hell!"Every hair on his body stood on end.This was terrifying. How could Ray be this strong?No… Ray couldn't be a mere warrior-type. Even the strongest body-focused users would have punched each of those five into oblivion one by one. There was no way five people would die so… strangely.What kind of ability did Ray have? And why would someone so powerful deliberately hide their powers just to enter the resort? What was Ray planning?'I have to report back!' Mord screamed in his mind.Ambushing your own people inside the resort was a major taboo, punishable by death. Yet, Ray had concealed such critical information, and his strength was terrifyingly overwhelming. Whatever his intentions, reporting him would surely earn praise from Mary instead of punishment.He started running.Thud! He flipped ha
