Chapter 1. The Day Humanity Fell
The smell of blood and burning steel filled the air.
The city that had once glittered with millions of lights was nothing more than a graveyard. Collapsed skyscrapers leaned against each other like dying giants. Military helicopters burned in the streets. Black smoke covered the sky, turning noon into midnight. A low growl echoed through the ruins. Then another. And another. Thousands of monsters slowly emerged from the darkness. Arjun Mehta tightened his grip around the cracked black sword in his hand. Blood dripped from his forehead. His left arm hung uselessly by his side. His armor had been torn apart long ago. Yet he refused to take a single step back. Behind him stood the last hope of humanity. A reinforced underground shelter. Inside were barely three hundred survivors—old people, women, and frightened children. The last humans left on Earth. A little girl peeked through the heavy steel door. "Brother Arjun..." Her trembling voice almost made him smile. He looked back for just a second. "It's okay." His voice was calm despite the destruction around him. "You'll live." The little girl shook her head, tears streaming down her face. "What about you?" Arjun didn't answer. Because both of them already knew the truth. There was no future for him. A deafening roar suddenly shook the battlefield. The ground cracked open. A creature nearly thirty meters tall climbed out of the earth. Its body looked like molten rock covered with black scales. Crimson eyes glowed like burning suns. Every monster around it immediately knelt. The Monster King had arrived. Arjun slowly exhaled. "So..." "It finally came." His exhausted body screamed in pain as he forced himself to stand straight. His status window appeared before his eyes. Name: Arjun Mehta Level: 147 HP: 2% Mana: 0% Stamina: 1% Skills Available: None Chance of Survival: 0% He laughed. A dry, helpless laugh. "So even the System has given up on me." The Monster King raised one gigantic claw. The sky itself seemed to tremble. Behind Arjun, the shelter door slowly began to close. Good. That meant the children would survive for at least a few more hours. Maybe someone... Somewhere... Would remember that humanity had fought until the very end. Arjun looked toward the burning horizon. He remembered his parents. His younger sister. His best friend Rohan. Every one of them had died during the first month of the apocalypse. If only... If only he had known. If only someone had warned humanity. The world wouldn't have ended like this. The Monster King roared again. An invisible pressure crushed the ground beneath Arjun's feet. His knees almost buckled. Almost. But he stood firm. "I've already lost everything." "What more can you take?" For the first time... The Monster King spoke. Its voice sounded like mountains collapsing. "Human." "You fought well." "But this planet no longer belongs to your kind." Arjun wiped the blood from his lips. He smiled. "Go to hell." The monster's massive fist came crashing down. At that exact moment— A golden light burst from Arjun's sword. Every remaining bit of energy inside his body exploded at once. He charged. Not to survive. But to kill. The collision lit up the entire city. A blinding explosion swallowed everything. Buildings disappeared. Monsters were vaporized. The shockwave traveled for miles. Silence followed. ... Darkness. No pain. No sound. Arjun slowly opened his eyes. A white ceiling. An old ceiling fan. The smell of instant noodles. His tiny rented apartment. He froze. "What..." He jumped out of bed. His hands. No scars. No broken arm. Young. Healthy. He rushed to the window. Outside, traffic moved normally. People argued over taxis. Children laughed on their way to school. No monsters. No fire. No apocalypse. His breathing became uneven. "This..." "This can't be real." He grabbed his phone from the bedside table. The screen lit up. April 3, 2045. His pupils shrank. Exactly one hundred days before the apocalypse. His heartbeat thundered inside his chest. "I..." "I came back?" Before he could think further— Ding! A clear mechanical sound echoed inside his mind. A blue holographic screen slowly appeared before his eyes. [Survival System Activated.] Welcome back, Last Survivor. Host confirmed: Arjun Mehta. Remaining Time Until Apocalypse: 100 Days. First Main Mission Released. Survive. Arjun stared silently at the glowing screen. His hands trembled. Not because he was afraid. But because... This time... He finally had a chance to change everything. End of Chapter 1Expand

100 Days Before the Apocalypse: My Survival System Chapter 201: The Things We Cannot Decide
The rain had stopped, but water still dripped from the library roof.Nox arrived early the next morning. Mara was already inside, checking the repaired shelves and arranging a new stack of books near the entrance.“You're early,” she said.“I wanted to finish the labels before the children arrive.”“Then I have something else for you.”She placed a small cardboard box on the table.Nox opened it. Inside were several envelopes, a handful of photographs, and a folded sheet of paper covered in handwritten names.“Someone donated these yesterday,” Mara explained. “They belonged to an old community reading group. We don't know whether the people named here want their photographs displayed or their letters kept in the library.”Nox examined the box.“Should we return them?”“We don't know who donated them or how to contact the people involved. That's why we need to be careful.”He lifted one photograph. It showed a group of children sitting beneath a large tree. Their faces were bright with

100 Days Before the Apocalypse: My Survival System Chapter 200: The Choice to Knock
Leena returned to the library three days later.This time, she carried a small photograph.Nox was arranging returned books when Mara called him over. Leena stood near the desk, holding the photograph by its edges.“I found this while looking through an old suitcase,” she said. “I thought you might want to see it.”Nox approached.The photograph showed two children standing beside a railway platform. The younger one held a blue cloth bag. The older child stood close, one hand resting on the younger one's shoulder.“Is that you?” Nox asked.Leena nodded.“And the boy?”“My brother Daniel.”Nox looked at the photograph again. The boy's face was slightly blurred, but the expression was unmistakably cheerful.“Do you remember when it was taken?”“Not the exact date. I think it was shortly before we were separated.”Mara brought a clean folder and placed the photograph inside a protective sleeve.“Would you like us to compare it with the photographs in our records?” she asked.Leena nodded

The second copy of the traveler's book arrived on the library table the next morning.Nox was helping Mara compare the pages when a familiar voice came from the entrance.“You found another one?”The woman from the previous afternoon stood by the door. This time, she carried no bag. She looked at the two copies lying side by side.Mara welcomed her inside.“You said your brother used to read this story,” Nox said. “Do you remember his name?”The woman hesitated.“Daniel.”Nox looked at the book again.Mara noticed his expression. “Do you know someone named Daniel?”“Not exactly,” Nox answered. “We've heard the name while looking through some old records.”The woman pulled out a chair.“My brother's name was Daniel Vale. We lived in the northern district when we were children. After our mother died, things became difficult. I was sent to stay with relatives, and Daniel went somewhere else.”Nox remained quiet.“Was it an assistance center?” he asked.“I think so. I was too young to und

100 Days Before the Apocalypse: My Survival System Chapter 198: The Day the Story Changed
The argument began over a missing page.Nox noticed it while arranging the books in Story Harbor. A thin picture book lay open on the table, its pages held together by an old piece of thread. The story followed a young traveler searching for a place where the stars could be seen clearly.But halfway through, the numbers jumped from twelve to fourteen.“Someone tore out page thirteen,” Nox said.Sami looked over his shoulder. “Maybe it was the best page.”“Why would someone remove the best page?”“Maybe they wanted to keep it.”The little girl who had been listening shook her head. “Maybe it got damaged.”Nox examined the binding. The thread around that section was loose, but there were no fresh tears. The missing page had been removed a long time ago.Mara joined them. “That book has been in the library for years. We don't know its original condition.”“Can we find another copy?” Nox asked.“We can check the catalogue.”They searched the records, but the title appeared only once. Ther
