Stay AliveChapter 88 – On the RoadAfter driving for many hours, Alan realized they were running low on fuel; there wasn’t much left to keep going, so at least he had to try to find some horses from nearby ranches.He wasn’t in a place he recognized. If he remembered correctly, Marlon’s farm wasn’t anywhere near where they were, so it would be very difficult to reunite with Lee’s group, who were probably now running from the walker horde.“If we keep going in that direction, we might find an abandoned farm. The horses were likely lef...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 224 – Arrival at the StadiumAtlanta, Georgia. Growth Base at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Bobby Dodd Stadium.At that moment, three large containers filled with intelligent walkers were being transported to the base Rick had cleared and taken over. Since civilians started arriving, word spread that Jason had stayed behind in Texas so everyone else could evacuate.From the base in Washington, C-5 planes began arriving one after another at the base Rick had secured. All the planes were load...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 223 – Something Unexpected“Alicia... how is your family?”The middle-aged man's words reached Jason's ears, making his hand—the one holding the gun—pause in midair. He looked at the man in surprise, then turned his eyes to Alicia. “You know him?”“Oh my God! It really is you!”Getting a closer look at Alicia, the man examined her carefully. Then, after removing the scarf that covered his face, he said, “I'm Daniel Salazar. After the dam was destroyed, I never saw you ...

The Witcher: The last King of the elvesChapter 1 – Death Knocking at My DoorIt's curious that one of the many questions science still cannot answer, even after so many years, is whether humans truly have a soul.If they do, what is the world like after death? Would there still be consciousness once death knocks at our doors?When he was alive, Noah used to think about that trivial question—perhaps because he had nothing more important to occupy his mind. And every time he reflected on it, he always came to the same conclusion: only someon...

The Witcher: The last King of the elvesChapter 0 – SynopsisIn a continent torn apart by war, corruption, and rampant magic, the elves have been nearly exterminated after centuries of human persecution. Yet, hidden in the shadows of forgotten time, one still survives: Thranduil, the last elven king, exiled and concealed among the ruins of his fallen civilization. Disillusioned by betrayal from his own kind and the cruelty of humans, he has silently witnessed the rise and fall of kingdoms, waiting for the world to consume itself.But everything ...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 222 – Is It a Trap?“These medicines… they look like they were made recently.” As she examined the items, Alicia picked up one bottle after another and was surprised to find that they were all new.“Recently?” Hearing that, Jason turned his head instinctively and asked, “Were they made in a lab?”“Not exactly…”As she said this, Alicia turned the bottle in her hand and showed him the design before continuing, “Medications produced in labs should have their own codes. None of t...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 221 – A Minute of Respite?At that moment, two different parties crossed paths.A car turned right, followed by several others in the same direction. When those vehicles passed the one carrying Alicia and Arion, the drivers unconsciously glanced at each other.After a few seconds of eye contact, everyone wore an expression of disbelief and didn’t react until they had already passed one another."Step on it, Alicia!"But Jason reacted quickly. Watching the convoy turning around through the ...

Stay AliveChapter 87 – One Decision Can Change ThingsAlan, who was in front, asked in a cold tone, “Is it just you two?”“Answer the question!” Riya knew these kids might be lying, so following Alan’s lead, she decided to be a bit more aggressive—at least until they knew they weren’t lying.“Don’t shoot us… We’re the only ones; our parents died.” Both kids shook their heads. They weren’t that young; they could easily be thirteen years old.In some ways, Alan’s situation might be similar to these kids standing before t...

Stay AliveChapter 86 - SuppliesThe days had passed very slowly. Alan had tried to repair the radio, but his efforts were in vain because he didn’t have the necessary materials to fix it right now.A couple of weeks had passed since he got injured. His temperature improved, and thanks to Riya’s care, he was able to recover.All the food was enough for that time, but knowing it would soon run out, Alan had decided to try to do something to solve that problem.He talked for about an hour with Riya about going out in search of food. As far as they...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 220 - Desires“I got them, hurry up!”Upon hearing the response from above, the hunter was taken aback for a moment, but a pleased smile soon appeared on his face. He turned and shouted to the others behind him:“Quick, they’ve got the man!”When the other hunters heard this, they all rushed forward, preparing themselves one by one. One of them even said with a lecherous grin:“Looks like there’s a woman in there. I’ve never had sex before.”“That’s right, I saw her a while ago—...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 219 - A PromiseThe sudden gunshot took all the hunters by surprise. They all stared in shock at the man who collapsed to the ground, disbelief etched across their faces.In their memory, this kind of hunt was nothing new. When they had surrounded their prey in the past, those people would tremble and curl up in corners, waiting to be captured.But now, a prey had actually killed one of them. The unprecedented situation left several of them stunned.“No!”Soon, a few of them regained their senses....

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 218 - Dark WorldOne day later. Texas. Somewhere near Alicia’s community.The cool wind blew slowly, and the only thing that could be perceived in the city of Texas was the smell of smoke and decay, as if it were a war zone.It could be said that there was no trace of life left in this great city, but Jason would have disagreed with that statement.Crack!A car window was violently shattered, and the countless fragments fell to the ground like tiny diamonds.Two figures walked one behind the other th...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 217 - The Best Friend“Hoo... hoo…”Swimming up from the bottom of the water current to the top of the train station stairs, Jason and Alicia leaned on each other until they reached higher ground where the water couldn’t reach them.For them, getting out was urgent. After all, the current wasn’t just dragging them—it was carrying all the walkers that had been inside, too.Immediately afterward, Jason collapsed onto the ground, nearly lying flat, panting heavily as he looked up at the sky,...

A simple priest... Or so I thoughtChapter 20 – The Right Way to Perform an ExorcismA demon’s words were anything but pleasant to hear, but Jonathan, who remained calm, didn’t speak to that evil entity—at least not yet. What he did do was silently pull out a nail gun, one that had been modified to be indistinguishable from a real firearm.“Father Doug, if Mr. Lambert intervenes, get him out of the room…”“Wait, why are you saying that?” Lambert asked, clearly confused. What exactly was this man planning to do to his son?Father Do...

Anatomy of a KillerChapter 95 – In Front of EveryoneAt that moment, Malcolm was on the verge of a mental breakdown. Without a doubt, if he escaped, many would watch the world burn. But as he envisioned the shapes his revenge would take, he looked at his disappointing son—who had inherited none of his business acumen. All he ever did was cause problems, and as a father, Malcolm had always been the one to clean up the mess.Still, Bobby was very good at giving him gifts. Many of the women he played with had been brought to him by his troubled ...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 216 - In the Darkness (4)Seeing that Alicia was having trouble moving forward, Jason grabbed her hands and then rummaged through his backpack for another pair of night-vision goggles for her. After taking off the mask, Alicia was finally able to see her surroundings clearly. She fixed her gaze on Jason and smiled.But at that very moment, the craters above their heads and the noise coming from above caused everything to tremble.Boom! Boom!“Crack…”The faint sound coming from above, the occasi...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 215 - In the Darkness (3)Boom!Crack! Crack! Crack!A series of pounding blows echoed, even louder than before, and the subway tunnel trembled violently once again. The rocky mass that had broken off from the ceiling and walls was collapsing in a wide area ahead, falling at a speed visible to the naked eye.“Run!”With morphine coursing through his body, Jason lowered the weapon in his hand, firmly grabbed Alicia’s hand, and made sure they were running together.The walkers nearby were crushed b...

Anatomy of a KillerChapter 94 – The Death GameMalcolm jerked his head around. There was no one there. All he could see was his old phonograph spinning in the shadows.A few seconds passed. Then, as if his gaze had activated something in the darkness, the needle dropped, and the recording began to play.Malcolm froze.“Today, we will broadcast a heinous case of serial rape and murder. Before the execution, we’ll review unresolved crimes from the last twenty years,” a metallic, almost ceremonial voice announced.The narration unfolded like a ...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 214 – In the Darkness (2)Rghhh!!!"Help!"The screams alerted the walkers who had been heading toward where Jason and Alicia were, causing them to quickly change direction.“Dad, dad, run…”The sound of soft footsteps echoed through the deep tunnel, and in the completely dark environment, two blinding lights flickered. The mutated walker figures came to a halt in silence, and after hearing gunshots in the distance, the entire situation spiraled out of control.Jason was moving forward,...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 213 - In the Darkness (1)Somewhere in Texas.In a spacious room, numerous people with hidden faces were kneeling before the grail held by a man in a pristinely white suit.Boom!“Teddy, I can assure you that the resources obtained in that operation will be enough to offset the losses.” A man was kneeling in front of a circle of candles, pleading almost desperately for what was about to happen.An old man named Teddy had long gray hair and a thick beard that covered much of his face. He wore round...

A simple priest... Or so I thoughtChapter 19 – First Initiative: Corrupt the BodyWhile Jonathan was giving instructions, a group of young men drinking outside a house spotted them.It didn’t take a genius to guess they looked like gangsters—or at least some seriously bad guys.“Hey, priest.”Jonathan sighed deeply and turned his head toward the boys, waiting for their question.“I have a question for you: do you think priests should be black?” asked one man loudly, raising his hands to the sides.“Hahahahaha,” his companions laughe...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 212 – Alicia’s QuestionConsidering the walkers they had taken down along the way, Jason needed a moment to check whether there were any walkers inside the underground subway station. Although most train stations were above ground, this one ran several kilometers beneath the surface before ending at a bridge, where they would change direction toward Alicia’s community.Jason stopped at the station entrance, looked at the building’s sign, then peered into the dark reception hall inside, feel...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 211 – EscapeEarly in the morning, Jason slowly opened his eyes and felt as if every part of his body had been shattered. As if yesterday’s pain hadn’t been enough, today’s was twice as intense, and even moving was painful.At that moment, the sound of a gunshot rang out outside the building where Jason was staying with Alicia, prompting him to grab his weapon almost by reflex and walk toward the exit to see what was happening.Jason’s movements woke Alicia, who also grabbed her weapon and...

A simple priest... Or so I thoughtChapter 17 – The New AssistantJonathan had returned to the church, changed clothes, and spent the day resting. His understanding of The Healing Church had deepened, making it clear that it was, in fact, a very dominant organization.The renovations being made to his church were already noticeable, even though not a full day had passed. As planned, the church would remain closed for a while—at least until people could enter without noticing the internal changes.“I just hope they can hold out,” Jonathan mu...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 210 – GuiltAfter Alicia helped him with his wounds, Jason checked the contents of the backpack he had grabbed after the crash. Among the most important items were weapons and some military rations—enough to get them through the day.But Jason’s thoughts remained clouded by the deaths of Billy and Carlos. Although many people had died, those two had been closest to him. Billy was a former soldier who had followed him since they entered the CDC. Jason often questioned whether his decisions wer...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 209 – CalmInside the container, Jason felt a sharp pain in his left arm. Throughout the fight, he had prioritized carrying the weapons in a bag. Though it wasn’t comfortable, he knew it was necessary if he wanted to survive later on.And as it turned out, he had been right—those weapons would help him get out of this place.“Argh... Damn it.”Jason opened his eyes and looked around groggily, then saw Alicia, who was also struggling to scan the area. She said, “We need to treat your wound...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 208 – The Tragic End of My EnemiesOn the south side of the hospital, darkness slowly fell from the sky, casting a somber veil over the surroundings. Walkers wandered back and forth, gradually making their way toward the hospital, drawn by the sound of gunfire.Even though the sky was filled with smoke and walkers had taken over the streets north of the hospital, a lone figure was moving down the street toward the building, gripping the barrel of a machine gun tightly in her hand.As the figure sl...

A New Beginning From the End of the WorldChapter 207 – Don’t Worry, I’ll Be ThereAmid the dizziness and chaos, Morgan managed to escape through the other side of the helicopter while dragging the wounded soldier in his arms.Before leaving, Morgan gave Jason one last look. Jason seemed determined in his next course of action, and Morgan slowly slipped away unnoticed by the people who were approaching.Jason, on the other hand, raised his M4, perfectly modified for close-quarter combat. He watched as the first person came closer, and after c...

Anatomy of a KillerChapter 93 – The Call That Changed the GameBaltimore, Maryland.Dark clouds covered the sky, and the heavy rain washed away the sins of the people.On the rooftop of The Wexford Grand Hotel, tiny raindrops fell on a black umbrella held by a man hidden in the shadows.Larry, dressed in a black suit and wearing a completely black fabric mask, stood on the rooftop staring at the hotel across from him.“Yes, the report is complete. The real killers are dead, so they can release Dr. Williams.” Larry finished sending this message...
