Three years after civilization collapsed, Ethan Carter has learned one brutal truth: The apocalypse didn't destroy humanity. Humanity destroyed itself. While escaping a ruined city, Ethan discovers an underground facility containing a strange device capable of transmitting fragments of future events. Before he can understand it, the facility is attacked. Ethan dies. But instead of darkness, he opens his eyes in his own apartment. His phone shows the date. Seventy-two hours before the world ends. At first, Ethan thinks he's been given a second chance. Then he discovers something impossible. He remembers the people who survived the apocalypse. Not hundreds. Not thousands. Exactly 37 people. And every one of them played a role in shaping the new world. Some became heroes. Some became monsters. Some became rulers. And some betrayed everyone who trusted them. Ethan knows their names. He knows where they will be when the disaster begins. He knows which ones must be saved... And which ones must never be allowed to survive. But there is one problem. In his memories, Ethan Carter was not one of the 37 survivors. He died on the first night. Now he has only 72 hours to change his fate. As the countdown begins, Ethan races across the city, gathering the people he believes can survive. But on the second day, he encounters a woman who should not exist in his memories. She looks at him and whispers: "You came back too." Ethan freezes. Someone else remembers the future. And she knows something he doesn't. The apocalypse isn't supposed to happen in 72 hours. It's supposed to happen tonight.

While the criminal was brutally killing me, my dad, the head of the criminal investigation division, and my mom, the chief forensic pathologist, were attending my brother Matthew Lambert’s match. In a bid for revenge, the criminal, who had once been captured by my dad, cut out my tongue and used my phone to call him. My dad only said one thing before hanging up. "No matter what’s going on, Matthew’s match is the top priority today!" The criminal sneered, "Seems I’ve kidnapped the wrong person. I thought they would love their biological son more!" At the crime scene, my parents were shocked by the brutal state of the body and condemned the cruelty of the killer. However, they did not realize that the horrifically mutilated corpse was their own son.

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.
