A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 160 – Exploration Mission Part 1In a completely desolate town, a group of more than thirty people moved stealthily through the streets of the small settlement; all of them walking in single file.From time to time, a figure would break away from the group to take out walkers using melee weapons, then rejoin the line and continue advancing.Just then, the person leading the group gave a signal, and they split into three different groups moving in separate directions.At that moment, Jason was leadi...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 159 - PreparationsIn the room, there was a dead silence, and everyone was lost in thought. They had all heard about the supposed thing in that abandoned military camp.But they had all seen walkers, touched their corpses, and cut off their heads. There was nothing left that could truly scare them; what really worried them was that it might be a trap."Why do I feel like these people are lying to us?"Feeling everyone’s eyes on him, Jason thought for a moment, then said after a few seconds,...

A simple priest... Or so I thoughtChapter 7 – Healing Church“Please, have a seat.” Jonathan extended his hand toward the worn-out wooden chair, and after seeing the extravagantly dressed woman sit down, he did the same.Silence settled over the room, leaving Jonathan smiling awkwardly as the woman studied him from head to toe.“I imagined you differently.” The woman set her purse on the wooden table.“And this is…” Jonathan wasn’t nervous; he just didn’t know how to start a conversation that obviously involved his former self a...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 158 – An Urban LegendWhen Elias asked that question, everyone turned their heads toward Ferdinand, waiting for his response. It was clear something was going on—and it wasn’t good. If it was so easy to take the resources from that place, why hadn’t anyone done it?“That’s because of the legend…”A dead silence filled the room, then Ferdinand pointed to the red dot on the map and said, “We lured the entire horde of walkers to this part of town. Our objective was to retrieve weapons...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 157 - Butterfly EffectJason’s brain was working fast in that moment, and all the previous events flashed through his mind.He realized that every time he went out on an expedition in search of resources, there was always something else that came with it: more or less minor accidents, such as walker attacks or people who didn’t want to be saved.But even beyond that, there were drastic changes in this world’s original events, which connected in different ways so that the result was more or les...

A simple priest... Or so I thoughtChapter 6 - The Warehouse of DreamsAs Jonathan walked through the room, he reached the bathroom and stared at his tired face in the mirror. The expression was his, yet it still felt unfamiliar.His face was pleasant, but not in the conventional sense.It had the beauty of marble worn down by time: high cheekbones, a defined jawline, a long and stern face.Jonathan could even aspire to a career in the entertainment industry, but in a world like this—one where he might even face a god—such temptations were kept ...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 156 – An Agitated MerleAt the Shirewilt Estates community, as Jason’s group rushed out through the main gate of the shelter, a family of five was sitting at the dining table with a large meal laid out before them.There was a five-year-old boy; his face beamed with excitement, as he hadn’t seen such delicious food in a long time. He waved his hands enthusiastically and bounced around in joy.The elder man of the family sat silently, watching everyone already seated.The eldest daughter was in ...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 155 – From Another PlaceThe view from atop the modified RV was even better than from the tower at the main gate of the shelter. Jason could easily observe the situation outside the walls of the place.In the distance, the dense surrounding forest truly hindered visibility, which explained why no one had spotted the walkers approaching the shelter earlier.“It’s hard to take out all the walkers now. If we focus on eliminating these undead, we might expose ourselves to the enemies who brought t...

Wind in the SmokeChapter 202 – No NewsLondon, Eddie Halstead's residence."Are you telling me we can’t control the two most powerful families left in London?" Eddie had long since become the largest distributor in Europe, simply following every order he received from his one and only boss.Under the protection of SAMCRO, Eddie hadn’t had any problems—until smaller, well-known families began to fight for more power.Eddie had let it slide because that was the only way to win without spilling allied blood. And also because it was...

Anatomy of a KillerChapter 83 – The Red Wedding, Part 5Larry looked toward the central room where he had laid out his research and nodded. "The scene is too complicated to explain clearly with words, so I drew a diagram to make it more intuitive."At that moment, the door opened again, and Jack entered, followed by the field agents in charge and the rest of the team."Thank you for your hard work, Forensic Doctor Luk!""It’s my job. Now that I’ve refined the information we have so far, we can get started.""Good, t...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 154 – The WordsRichmond, Virginia.In the plaza of the Shirewilt Estates community.Jason’s group didn’t rest after arriving at the shelter, knowing there were enemies lurking nearby. This time, Jason wasted no time and installed steel plates on the outside of the buses.Even so, the appearance of these buses had undergone drastic changes. This alone gave off a sense of security, and the vehicle could later become much safer for the people inside. With just a few modifications, the appearance ...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 153 – What Needs to Be DoneAfter a long time, the prison was completely silent, and only thousands of corpses could be seen on the ground. The smell of gunpowder mixed with the scent of blood, and numerous people walked around with a type of spear to eliminate the remaining walkers.Everyone had worked hard to wipe out the walkers; it had been intense, but in the end, they succeeded without losing the crops. Now the question on everyone’s mind was: how will they clean this place?“They’re f...

A simple priest... Or so I thoughtChapter 5 – What Lies Hidden in the ChurchJonathan, having finished changing his clothes, walked over to the window and stared outside for several long minutes before starting his routines.This church always opened at eight in the morning. He would never open it earlier because that could mean it might be visited by entities of the night.Not like vampires—those were never welcome in a church. Jonathan was far more cautious of ghouls. Those things couldn’t be harmed by anything other than real weapons.Word...

One year after the end of the world began, this massive stadium had undergone drastic changes.After the fall of civilization, the stadium became the main refuge for Madison and her group, who transformed it into a small survivor community. Over time, they built some makeshift farms for livestock and food cultivation, tents around the pentagon where survivors slept, a greenhouse, a dining area, and even ...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 151 – The Great Horde of Walkers, Part 3Central base at the Georgia Institute of TechnologyAt that moment, dozens of soldiers were boarding combat helicopters, preparing to assist in the battle taking place at the prison. At the very least, they could provide support from the air and improve the situation.They couldn’t risk the prison having to defend itself alone, so three helicopters equipped with Mag-58 and M-240 machine guns were dispatched, ready to provide aerial support for the situati...

Anatomy of a KillerChapter 82 - The Red Wedding, Part 4Dilan, who was holding the silver in his hand, pointed at the dead man's pants and said, “There’s something sharp in his pocket. I cut my hand.”"How can you be so careless? Max, take care of it." Larry, after taking control of the situation, cut open the dead man’s pants, and what he saw left Jack—who had also approached—stunned.“I know that object. It’s a flower-shaped brooch with sharp petals. Quite expensive. I caught a glimpse of it during one of the raids we...

A simple priest... Or so I thoughtJonathan wasn’t in a hurry to check the contents of the reward. Instead, he walked over to the man who had been abandoned after being possessed by the cursed spirit.This person was already on the verge of an emotional breakdown.Moreover, he had been possessed by an evil spirit and was in very poor condition at that moment.Jonathan held the cross on his chest with one hand and placed the other hand on the man's head. “Lord of light and truth… Look upon this man who lies before me. You know his soul bet...

Stay AliveChapter 64 – The TruthWhen Alan stepped away from where he had just given a motivational speech, Talia, who had been beside him, immediately asked, "Are you happy manipulating all those people?"“They’ll survive—at best.” Alan checked the time, knowing that in just a few hours the sun would begin to set. They had spent many hours in this place maintaining the retreat orders.“Survive? As far as I know, all of us will be dead sooner or later. Don’t tell me... are you really that afraid of death?” Talia seemed to h...

Stay AliveChapter 63 – The Problem and the Truth"People are demanding to know the truth about what's going on with FEDRA right now. I'm afraid that if we don't tell them what they want to hear, there will be a riot," Riya shared her thoughts as they headed toward the area where most people were taking refuge, waiting to be transferred to other bases.Claire, who heard this, said, "It was a mistake to tell them their lives are in danger. Now they'll be afraid that we’ll start fighting among ourselves.""They...

Stay AliveChapter 62 - A Bad Decision and OrderFar from the central army base, Sergeant Castro drove a Humvee away from the base with Major Jackson, who was tied up, as his passenger."This is fucking madness. You're letting a mere special forces captain control an entire state's army? This is Texas, for God's sake—we should be under a single command."Sergeant Castro replied in a calmer tone, "I saved my family.""That's absurd. How could they let a captain with depressive issues take full control of Texas...

Stay AliveChapter 61 – A Scapegoat for FEDRA"I asked you a question, Colonel. What the hell are you doing?" Jackson asked, looking at Alan, who had caused an uproar."Freeing us from FEDRA and giving civilians the necessary information so they’re aware of what’s really happening out there, Major Jackson. Everyone deserves to know the truth." Alan pretended to be righteous and considerate toward everyone, though that wasn’t truly the case."Shut the hell up! Do you think you're holier than the rest of us?""T...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 150 - The Walker Horde, Part 2The meeting lasted over an hour, and the paper in Rick's hand was already filled with writing and bullet points to be considered later. He nodded as he looked at the paper, tapping his fingers moderately on the table, about to say something when loud noises came from the door.Boom, boom, boom!The hurried banging continued, and Tyler's panicked voice rang from outside.“Rick! Come out, it’s an emergency!”For some reason, the scene before Rick felt familia...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 149 – The Walker Horde, Part 1Prison in Western GeorgiaIn a forest on the outskirts of the S.C.T. community's central base.A man, covered in ragged clothes, blood dripping from his limbs, and pieces of human flesh hanging from his body, walked slowly through the dense forest. He wore a mask to prevent infection and was over two hundred meters away from the new constructions being built at the prison.A red bandana with the letters "ST-1" was tied near his left shoulder. These initial...

A simple priest... Or so I thoughtChapter 3 – A Spirit?At that moment, before Jonathan's eyes, a humanoid spirit was standing next to Laila, trying to open her mouth and enter.No one else could see it.At least, that's what Jonathan thought. But Judy was the only other one who could see everything that was happening. When she saw the cursed spirit, she curled up in a corner, brought her hands to her head, and wished she hadn’t come here on a whim.Nelson, seeing his wife like that, was the first to take the initiative and approach Lai...

A simple priest... Or so I thoughtChapter 2 – The Smile"This is quite a risky mission..." Jonathan murmured as he walked toward a secret room where he kept some of his weapons.What appeared before his eyes now was one of those abilities that surfaced from time to time. He took on some missions and ignored others; it all depended on the context.This ability also helped him identify early on whether something involved a supernatural event or not. After all, Jonathan hated wasting time.And the reason he accepted missions where money wasn...

Stay AliveChapter 60 – Declaration of IndependenceAlan had been analyzing how the hordes attacked, and he had to admit that, besides evolving, they adapt to the way humans fight.The way they tricked General Shelton a few weeks ago worked to take down a large base in the central zones of the resistance.That strike had disorganized the army, which made it easier for the infected to land a pretty hard blow.Alan then thought that if things were like that in Texas, there wouldn’t be much difference in other states in the country. This cornered F...

Stay AliveChapter 59 – FEDRA is an InfectionWhen most of the high-profile civilians were removed from this border base, only those who couldn’t do anything, the sick, and the elderly remained. As for those without professional training, they were trained to be soldiers and used as scavengers.Everyone had to work, and sadly, the weak would die.That’s how only the strong, skilled, and important people like scientists, doctors, engineers, and technicians survive.Once the more whining matters were dealt with, Alan knew the time had come to mo...

A simple priest... Or so I thoughtChapter 1 – The Strange ChurchIn Pennsylvania, in its largest city—Philadelphia—all kinds of people from around the world would gather.This city was a key tourist destination, where one could encounter followers of almost every religion imaginable.Here, in this diverse city, on the northern edge, stood an old building in a community area. Despite its worn appearance, it was the only nearby church where people could go to seek guidance for matters of the heart.For many, preserving a church like this wouldn...

A simple priest... Or so I thoughtChapter 0 – SynopsisA simple priest... Or so I thoughtThis world has certainly changed since the last time I died...In the United States, if you're from a rural town, you better get home before nightfall, or you might run into the madman with the chainsaw.One rule most people know is: never enter a stranger’s house, or you might find yourself in a wax museum. And if you're planning a fun night with friends, don't choose a cabin in the middle of the woods.If you're a scientist and want to stu...

Anatomy of a KillerChapter 81 – The Red Wedding, Part 3Max removed a pair of latex gloves and opened his mask.“Didn’t they say the killer was wearing gloves?” Dilan was very confused because the times of death were too similar, as if the killer had murdered them just seconds apart—which was impossible.“He was wearing gloves!”“At first, I thought there was only one killer, but now some discoveries have made me start to doubt that judgment. Killing six people that quickly wouldn't have been so silent, not even considering it h...
