Kisha Aldens is a normal office worker with average earnings, not until she suddenly sees a system countdown in front of her. Her mind suddenly received a prompt warning about the apocalypse and urged her to integrate with the system to assist her with her survival. "Have I overworked myself again?" She thought while pinching the bridge of her nose. She blinked a few more times but the system interface is still there. Little did she know that this system would be her last lifeline in the upcoming apocalypse where human morals would be the lowest, trust is only a word and betrayal could happen in the blink of an eye. A naive person like her had to learn her lesson the hard way on how to survive and navigate in the zombie-infested world. And the worst part, she had to die 99 times to harden her heart and learn how to read the human heart. How will her 100th time be different from the previous lives, will she survive this time? And will survival be her only problem in the heart of the Apocalypse? No, there was a deeper scheme in play which she has to uncover moving forward.

Jiang Ning limped out of her quarters one day and entered the Jiang family's second courtyard, just as the Emperor was selecting a concubine for Prince Yu.  Noble ladies from high-ranking families put in their best efforts to participate in the selection, but the flower fell on Jiang Ning, who was merely there to watch the spectacle.  Jiang Ning was confused. She dared not let Prince Yu be a scapegoat, so she tried every possible way to tell everyone she was pregnant. However, no one believed her.  When she vomited after eating, they laughed at her for feigning illness. When she felt tired, they laughed at her for pretending to be delicate. When her belly grew larger, they laughed at her for overeating.  When Jiang Ning wanted a doctor's confirmation, all eighteen doctors she consulted had the same opinion: "You're just eating too much!" The fifth prince, Prince Yu, was a dashing and handsome young man. He exuded an air of sophistication and regal beauty. This was how the common people of Chang'an City typically described him.  But the real Prince Yu was cold and ruthless, using women without any emotional attachment.  He knew that the second madam of the Jiang family was the Emperor's secret love, and he also knew that the daughter recently brought back by the Jiang family looked exactly like the second madam in her youth.  So, even though the girl had a limp, he still tossed the embroidered flower in his hand into her lap. After their marriage, he knew she was just a pawn. But for the sake of the throne, he had to pretend to cherish her even though he detested her, until...

Bai Xiqin only survived for three years in the apocalypse before dying. Returning to the time before the apocalypse, she unexpectedly unlocked a Personal Space, which even came with an ancient Mountain and Sea Exotic Beast. To her surprise, this time around, her whole family became elites. Before the apocalypse—— Bai Yifan asked his sister, "Did you dream the apocalypse is coming? What happened to me?" "You didn’t run as fast as mom and dad, but it's alright – better to keep it in the family!" Bai Xiqin responded calmly. Bai Yifan: ??? After the apocalypse—— Funeral Master Bai Mother waved her hand casually, and the Zombie was roasted crispy on the outside and tender on the inside by the Thunder Ability. Bai Mother frowned instinctively, "I really want to give them a makeup touch-up!" The forensic doctor Bai Family Grandma calmly dug out a Crystal Core, "Its lower jaw protrudes, clearly an underbite, even with makeup it wouldn't look good." Bai Yifan shook while holding a sack to collect Crystal Cores, bravely holding back tears. The teacher Bai Family Grandpa and top lawyer Bai Father heated oil in the pan, using the strongest Superpower to withstand the harshest blows, to make the most delicious meals. The Mountain and Sea Monsters with extraordinary skills—— Qin Yuan, being rubbed against the ground by Bai Xiqin: "Master, today you seem as gentle and kind as ever!" Taowu: "Move aside, you are blocking me from hanging clothes for the master." Water Python: "Someone, tie me to the tree as a clothesline."

Child's Voice: "Purpose to life. Is there such a thing? Does everyone really have a purpose?" A frog snatches the dragonfly and eats. The frog hops into the water and swims. It's swimming passed fish and underwater plants. The frog passes a school of small fish and a bigger fish is then seen eating the majority. Child's Voice: "Purpose to life. What if that purpose was for only a second, would you think life is worth it?" Frog pops his head from the water and an owl snatches the frog. It takes it to a nearby tree and eats. Child's Voice: "Purpose to life. Does it always mean sacrifice? Is it positive? Does one's purpose effect another's? Has anybody's death been in vain?" The owl flies towards its nest and feeds the baby owls its regurgitation. The tree begins to shake. Momma jumps back and begin to flap while the babies helplessly are unable to fly. Child's Voice: "Purpose to life. Humans seem to be the most confused about that purpose. Some think 'tomorrow' is the purpose. Some of them work their lives away for more and better things, for themselves or their loved ones, some a deity, or… for humanity. Most animals know their purpose at birth but humans seem to make their own purpose throughout their lives. Sometimes that purpose changes, while the rest stay on the same path." A man wearing lumber jacket, boots, and jeans, watching the 15 ft tall tree crash down. Birds fly from nearby trees. As the man starts dragging the tree back home sweat dripping from his face it starts to snow lightly from the cloudless late summer sky. The man looks confused and looks around. Child's Voice: "But what would happen if humans were forced into a purpose?"
