2026-07-23 02:32:30Trees gradually fell.
Birds withered to dust.
The air grew colder and harsher to breathe.
The sky itself—once smeared with that sickly yellowish hue—was now replaced by a dark purple, brandished by the repeated roaring of thunderstorms.
The house that had remained untouched by the demolition was now reduced to a pile of rubble.
But that wasn't all.
Under the chaotic skies, greater forces were at play. The Void Walker—about 18.7 meters tall—brought its massive hand down to snatch Lyssa in her vulnerable state.
She was still slumped in the corner, certain she couldn't dodge death this time around.
But an absurd halt jolted her eyes open.
If her calculations were right, she should have been dead the moment the Void Walker ripped the ceiling open. It shouldn't have wasted time scrambling her vulnerable body.
She looked up and saw something—someone—blocking the mighty hand of the Void Walker with a broadsword. The blade was bathed in liquid obsidian black, dabbed with cobalt asymmetrical lines that pulsed rapidly like a heartbeat.
Guarding her without breaking a sweat was an entity she didn't recognize. A figure draped in obsidian black armor, standing perfectly still, unmoved by the overwhelming force of the Void Walker.
Its gaze bored into that of the Void Walker.
And worst of all—the one struggling wasn't the knight.
It was the Void Walker.
The creature launched its other hand in a vicious arc, aimed at snatching Lyssa before she could react. But with swift, absolute precision, the knight's broadsword moved—a blur of motion.
Both hands severed from the Void Walker's body like they were made of paper.
The creature couldn't regenerate. Couldn't even begin to try. It staggered backward, roaring in defiance. Its maw opened wide, and a deafening bang erupted from its throat—a beam of condensed white-hot energy that screamed across the landscape.
The beam struck first.
A reverberating shockwave swept outward, pulverizing everything in its wake. The house—what remained of it—was obliterated. Vaporized. Nothing left behind but ash and scorched earth.
For a few seconds, silence enveloped everything.
Then something diced through the smoke like a blade.
The knight appeared inches above the Void Walker, its broadsword held perfectly above its head. Its gaze was brewing with an incandescent level of murderous intent.
SLASH!
The blade impaled the Void Walker's head. The creature's agonizing scream made the very landscape bleed with tremors. The sound was inhuman—a death cry that reverberated for miles.
Then the Void Walker slumped.
Dead.
It crashed violently against the demolished woods, its massive frame finally still.
The knight landed softly on the grass road. Its sword ceased to exist—simply vanished. The knight's knees buckled, and it met the ground hard.
Its armor faded like dust burning away.
Everything burned from its skin.
And there—alone on the scorched earth—was Trevor. Unconscious. Completely drained.
Above his body, a crimson tab suspended in mid-air, golden text glowing.

Moments later, Trevor's eyes slowly opened.
An unusual flow of energy bathed him. He felt warmth—genuine, healing warmth.
When his eyes moved to the side, he saw Lyssa, steady on her knees, her hands hovering over his body.
Energy flowed from her palms in waves. Soft, golden light pouring into him. She was extracting everything from herself to heal him.
She didn't notice he was awake—not until he started moving. She immediately stopped, withdrawing her hands, and watched as he sat up slowly.
"You're awake!" Excitement flooded her words as she hugged him suddenly.
Trevor's eyes wavered with exhaustion. He observed his surroundings—the dead Void Walker, its body still pulsing with unnatural energy. But it was dead. Definitely dead.
The environment was devastated. Completely destroyed.
It didn't take him long to understand. "I blacked out again, didn't I?"
Lyssa broke the hug and sat next to him. "I don't know about blacking out, but you saved me. I should have been dead." She exhaled softly. "Thank you."
Trevor wasn't sure what to say. Everything had happened so fast, and now the looming threat was gone.
I wonder why the system didn't warn me about the Void Walker, he thought. And it's been unusually silent. System?
No response. Total silence.
The quietness was unsettling.
"Are you all healed up now?" Lyssa asked, her face flushing red with embarrassment. "I saw you unconscious and tried to use my healing abilities on you when you didn't wake up." Her voice dropped to a whisper. "Nice body you got."
Trevor forced a smile. "Yeah, thanks. I'm alright." He shifted his gaze back to the Void Walker's corpse, noting the unnatural energy leaking from it into the environment.
Lyssa noticed and pulled his attention away. "It's dead. The only reason a zombie horde hasn't found us yet is because it was here. The Void Walker keeps them away."
"What?" Trevor checked the corpse again. That thing was keeping away zombies?
"The Void Walker is an anomaly feared by the zombies. They existed before Earth was dragged into whatever this is. So yeah, those weird energy readings you're sensing—that's the Void Walker's aura. It basically keeps any other creatures from coming its way to feed on it."
"Oh, that makes sense." Trevor took his eyes off the corpse, his mind jolting back to the system's abrupt silence.
Then, the wordings in the crimson tab appeared again.

No remarks? Trevor thought. It was unlike the system to not leave a remark. What has gone wrong? The mana residue being at 0%?
"So what's the plan now?" Lyssa asked. She was shivering badly, the cold environment gnawing at her. She'd been holding it in until Trevor woke up.
.Trevor didn't have an answer. He somewhat wished the system wasn't so silent.
He exhaled softly and allocated the 5 stat bonus points to Intelligence and the previous 3 bonus points to Strength. If the system won't be around all the time like this, then I need to improvise.

He clicked on the shop, and a catalog opened. Tons of items available for relatively low Abyssfall Points. Clothes. Food. Common necessities. Weapons. He saw a tent for as low as 10 points. A campfire for 5 points.
He saw a sweater and tried to purchase it for Lyssa, but for some reason—the system wouldn't allow it.
Odd.
While Lyssa fidgeted under the cold bite of the environment, Trevor pulled out everything he'd purchased from the shop. Campfire. Tent. Food.
"How did you do all this?" Curiosity smeared her face.
"It's a secret."
Trevor knew better than to reveal much about himself to Lyssa.
They settled into the tent. It was small, barely containing both of them, but it would have to do. Trevor wanted to purchase a second tent, but the system had prevented it. Another oddity.
Lyssa didn't complain. She was fine with it. After all, she didn't want to be alone.
Lyssa laid quietly while Trevor stared beyond the tent ceiling, his gaze fixed on the stars visible through the fabric. The night was cold. The world was broken. But for a moment, the sky was still beautiful.
Then—

CH. 011: THE WALKING SUN
Morning, afternoon, night? It looked impossible to tell what it was. It was foggy outside and crawling with zombies. Atop the red zones, the highway linking to the Vanguard base was as clear as daylight.No single soul on the bridge, except a black cruiser. Steadily active with humming sound. Standing right behind were two Vanguard soldiersIt was eerily quiet but it was normal for then. But the fog, that wasn't normal. The fog had recently appeared and it crawled up the highway at an unmistakable speed within days of its appearance.Serenity lingered longer with her legs crossed, arguing for dominance with the humming sound from the Vanguard cruiser. Unfortunately, no side was winning the contest.While both concepts argued for dominance, the sound of another Vanguard cruiser blasted them both out of existence. Its engines roared so loud you could hear it from miles away.The moment the other two soldiers spotted it, they got into position—not an attacking position.Eventually, the c
CH. 010: SHE'S A PROJECT
“Project Super mutant?” The words rang like a bell. “System?”[ Ding! ]…[ Project Super mutant : Mutants are common in this apocalyptic world. Humans with abilities, even more dangerous than the Zombies themselves. When a mutant shows impossible stats, they are classified Super/Ultra/Hyper Mutant by the Authority except they haven't been able to establish one ]…Trevor rubbed the back of his hair, “So my stats says I'm a super mutant?”There was no response after that and it made Trevor feel very uncomfortable. Then his mind flipped and he remembered Lyssa. He turned and saw Vask still standing there and approached the electrified glass with caution.“Good to know you survived.” Vask said first. “I have never come across a mutant capable of surviving such a blast…”Trevor raised a brow. “What's that supposed to mean?”Vask heaved a sigh. He looked away from Trevor and then turned his back to him as his gaze wandered to oblivion. “Many mutants have been captured by my team, but due
CH. 09 : PROJECT SUPER-MUTANT
Eventually they reached the Vanguard Command Strike Base. Located in the heart of the city, beyond the red zone. The blast doors hissed shut with Trevor and Lyssa being shoved forward like common criminals.Trevor didn't say anything just yet, but Lyssa, she was drowning a pit of regret. Cursing herself for trusting a stranger. “Keep moving, freaks!” One of the guards barked, shoving Lyssa forward because she was slowing down. Trevor's eyes widened immediately as he sought to move towards Lyssa. “Hey! Be gentle with her!” The guard who had shoved Lyssa aside raised a brow. He examined Trevor with disgust and grabbed his collar immediately. “And who do you think you are to say a word?”The guard punched Trevor hard in the face, hard enough to send Trevor down in one clean swoop.Lyssa, who was already far ahead with the other guard, noticed the commotion behind her, her eyes withered with confusion as to why Trevor tried to defend her. “Move!” The guard with her shoved her again.
CH. 08: Betrayal?
Trevor and Lyssa emerged into a clearing. On the other side, an asphalt road stretched into the unknown. Trevor's memories worked fast—his body knew which direction led to the main city: left.He led Lyssa down the path under the sickly yellow sky. She munched on snacks he'd purchased from the system, oblivious to the weight of their situation.[ Ding! ]...[ Note: System is praising the host for nurturing Lyssa like a gentleman ]...[ Rewards: +1000 Abyssfall Points | +100 XP | +5 Stat Points ]...Trevor kept walking, his gaze fixed on the crimson tab floating before him.

But the other rewards are way too small.[ Ding! ]...[ Note: System expectation has dropped slightly ]...[ Remark: The host is such an ungrateful piece of scum! ]...It was just a small complaint, Trevor thought, forcing a smile as he swiped the tab. I'm going to put all 5 stat points into Perception. That's it.He mentally navigated
CH. 07: The Vanguard Command Strike Team
CHAPTER 7 …Morning pierced through the darkness like a raging blade. The sickly yellowish hue had also returned to the sky.Trevor and Lyssa were fast asleep in an awkward, sensual position—tangled together like they'd collapsed mid-embrace.It wasn't long before Trevor woke.[ Ding! ]...[ Note: System is impressed ]...[ Remark: The host has Lyssa Kent wrapped around his fingers. The host is ten times better than the former occupant! ]…Trevor wasn't sure what to say. He'd had a long night with Lyssa. After their first release, he'd kept going until neither could move anymore.Lyssa woke soon enough, still looking sleepy but completely attentive to him. She rested on his chest, her hands searching for his length. She felt him hardening and wanted to stroke him, but Trevor stopped her with a deep kiss.When he pulled back, he noticed she'd slumped back into sleep. Was she dreaming?Trevor couldn't ignore the obvious: they were both naked. They needed clothes. He checked the sy
CH. 06 : Primal Hunger
Trevor's breath caught in his throat. His eyes snapped open.Beside him, Lyssa slept soundly, completely unaware of the system's revelation.And beside her, in the confines of this small tent, Trevor felt it—the first stirrings of something primal awakening inside him. Something hungry. Something he couldn't control.The night was going to be long if he didn't find a way to stop it. Why on earth would he mate with Lyssa?His hand moved against his will. It reached for her waist and jerked her into his embrace without permission."Oh my, Trevor... what are you doing?" she asked, her face flushed red with embarrassment. She'd been feeling cold, but the moment he pulled her against him, an unexplainable heat radiated from his body, warming her completely."I'm not sure... I'm sorry! I'm really sorry." He apologized, completely embarrassed by his actions. His pants began to tighten as his body reacted without his consent.Lyssa felt it. The hardness pressed against her. She wasn't sure ho
