Betrayed. Devoured. Forgotten.

After struggling for ten years in a world overrun by zombies and ruthless survivors, Ethan Blake was betrayed by his closest allies and left to die in a swarm of the undead. But just as his consciousness faded, he was reborn to the day before the apocalypse began.

This time, he awakens with a cheat-like ability—"Cataclysm Control"—the power to summon and manipulate natural disasters. With this gift, he will seize control of the apocalypse itself and annihilate those who once deceived him.

But he is not alone in his second life.

Olivia Moore, the most powerful psychic warrior of the last era, also returns with her past memories. This time, she refuses to let betrayal take everything from her again.
Thunderhound "Blaze", his once-loyal dog who died protecting him, is now reborn and evolves into an S-tier beast with lightning powers.
Shadowcat "Phantom", a mysterious feline with space-bending abilities, bonds with Olivia, adding an enigmatic wildcard to their survival team.
Together, they will rewrite the fate of the apocalypse.

Apocalypse Reborn: Master of Cataclysms

The hum of the helicopter blades was the only sound as the team flew through the night, heading toward the coordinates Valerie had uncovered.

A facility so off-grid that even the most classified databases had no record of it.

Ethan stared out into the darkness below, gripping the handle of his rifle. This was it. The next step toward finding Evelyn Carter and ending this nightmare for good.

The compound came into view—a sprawling complex hidden deep in the mountains. Unlike New Dawn, it wasn't abandoned.

Lights were on. Security drones patrolled the perimeter. Armed guards moved like shadows along the walls.

Noah let out a low whistle. "Yeah… this doesn't scream 'welcome.'"

Olivia adjusted her scope. "They're running a tight operation. Whatever's inside, it's important."

Valerie checked her tablet. "I'm picking up high-power servers inside. This isn't just a lab—it's a command center."

Ethan exhaled. "Then let's crash the party."

The team moved silently, splitting up to take out sentries without raising alarms.

Blaze darted ahead, disabling tripwires with swift precision. Shadow slinked through the darkness, claws unsheathing as she took down an unsuspecting guard with a silent strike.

Ethan and Olivia covered Noah as he hacked into a side door.

And what they found made Valerie freeze.

Because beyond the entrance, inside the heart of the facility—

Rows and rows of stasis pods lined the walls.

Each one filled with a living, breathing person.

A single pod, larger than the rest.

Ethan stepped closer, dread creeping into his veins.

Inside was a woman, her eyes closed, her body suspended in glowing blue liquid.

A woman who looked exactly like Evelyn Carter.

Noah took a step back. "Uh… I thought she was alive. Not… whatever this is."

Valerie scanned the pod, her voice shaking. "This… this isn't her."

Ethan's gut twisted. "Then who is she?"

And a voice, crisp and chilling, echoed through the facility.

"You shouldn't have come."
