Chapter 11: The Beginning of the End
The city was on the verge of collapse, but no one knew it yet.
Lucian stood on the rooftop of his billion-dollar villa, watching the skyline with a mirk. The apocalypse was now just three days away.
The world still ran as usual—people going to work, enjoying their meaningless relationships, believing that tomorrow would come as normal.
They had no idea.
But Lucian did.
And he was ready to rule the wasteland.

Expanding the Arsenal
Lucian didn't waste a single second. Tonight, he was hitting the last military base in the city.
With the help of his mercenary recruits, he infiltrated the high-security facility under the cover of darkness. Guards patrolled the area, but they were nothing compared to what was coming.
Lucian walked past them unseen, thanks to his shadow-stepping ability. He made his way to the underground storage facility, where rows of high-tech weaponry lined the walls.
[Infinite Storage Activated]
In the blink of an eye, entire weapon caches, crates of ammunition, and classified prototype armor vanished into his personal dimension.
By the time the alarms blared—Lucian was already gone.

The First Signs of Chaos
The news was starting to change. Reports of strange attacks, people disappearing, and violent outbreaks were increasing.
Lucian sat in his underground bunker, watching the news feed with a cold smile.
It's starting.
But even as the world unraveled, there were still fools who thought they could challenge him.

Destroying the Competition
Lucian had been keeping tabs on another survivor group—one led by a man named Damien Kross.
Damien was a former CEO, someone who thought money and power would keep him safe in the apocalypse.
Lucian had other plans.
He arrived at Damien's penthouse unannounced, walking past his guards like they were invisible.
Damien looked up from his expensive whiskey, eyes narrowing. "You have some nerve walking in here uninvited."
Lucian smirked, his red eyes gleaming. "You're hoarding supplies meant for people who don't deserve them."
Damien scoffed. "You think you can just take what's mine?"
Lucian didn't answer. Instead, he raised his hand.
[Infinite Storage Activated]
Every crate of supplies, every stash of weapons, vanished.
Damien's face turned pale. "What the—"
Lucian moved in an instant—grabbing Damien by the throat and slamming him into the wall.
"You were never in control."
A sickening crack filled the room as Lucian crushed his windpipe. Damien's lifeless body slumped to the floor.
[Damien Kross Eliminated]
[All Assets Seized]
Lucian turned, walking past the terrified remnants of Damien's people.
"You work for me now. Or you die."
No one hesitated. They all kneeled.

Returning to the Villa
Back at his fortress, his women were waiting.
Elena, Clara, and Irene lounged in silk robes, their eyes filled with desire and devotion.
Elena smirked. "Did you have fun?"
Lucian poured himself a glass of whiskey, watching them. "More than you can imagine."
The apocalypse was upon them.
And Lucian?
He was going to own this world.
