The world ended in a single night, and survival became a brutal game of instinct and luck. I was nobody before it happened, just another man trying to get by. Now, I have something no one else does—a system that rewards me for giving instead of taking. Every time I offer food, weapons, or shelter to a woman, I receive it back in insane multiples. But there’s a catch. The less she trusts me, the greater the reward. Fear, hatred, even betrayal… they make me stronger. At first, it feels like a miracle. I rise faster than anyone, building power while others struggle to stay alive. But the deeper I go, the clearer it becomes that this system isn’t random. It’s guiding me toward certain women—dangerous ones. Broken ones. Not entirely human ones. Some want to use me. Some want me dead. And some… are connected to the very thing that destroyed the world. Now I have to decide. Do I keep playing this game and become unstoppable? Or do I stop before I lose what little humanity I have left? Because the more I give… the more I feel like I’m being used too.
