The first gunshot echoed through the ruins like a lie.

Too loud. Too desperate. Fired by someone who believed noise still meant authority.

I crouched on the rooftop across from the sports complex and watched the chaos unfold exactly as I had predicted. The barricades had failed. The boys’ group was breaking apart from the inside, panic shredding whatever formation they’d pretended to have.

Zombies poured in through the gaps like water finding cracks.

I haven’t moved yet.

Timing mattered.

A man fell near the entrance, pipe slipping from his hands as three infected descended on him. Screams ripped through the air, raw and animal. The girls who had followed the boys stumbled backwards, faces pale, mouths open in disbelief.

This was the moment hope died.

The system pulsed in my peripheral vision.

Combat Authority detected.

Exclusive User Privilege confirmed.

Weapon Module unlocked.

A second panel slid open beside it, crisp and precise.

    Chapter 9 - The Six

    I didn’t choose them at random.That was the mistake people always made when they talked about power. They imagined instinct, impulse, desire. They imagined chaos. But real leverage came from selection.I watched the campus for an entire afternoon before I made a single move.From the shadowed upper floor of a half-collapsed lecture building across the street, I could see the sealed gates, the patrol paths improvised by the girls inside, the way groups formed and dissolved as hunger gnawed at patience. Fear had stabilised into something quieter now. Calculation. Resentment. Hope twisted thin.Hunger sharpened personalities.That was what I was testing.The first was obvious.

  • Chapter 8 - Nothing Is Free

    Rhea arrived exactly the way I expected.Alone. Upright. Eyes sharp enough to cut. Hunger is hidden behind posture.She stopped a few steps away from me, just outside the shadow of the broken awning where I stood. The street between us was empty, littered with debris and the faint smell of blood that never quite went away anymore.“Kyle,” she said. No greeting.
