My Last Apocalypse

I can't explain why or how this cycle repeats for me. Yet, what I do understand is each time I die, I return to the starting point, a zombie apocalypse, and continue my journey anew. In my first apocalypse, I overlooked the creeping signs of doom until overrun by zombies in my flat, where I perished in sheer terror. The second attempt to alert others of the impending chaos fell on deaf ears; labelled a lunatic, I fled the city, only to succumb to starvation and exposure alone in the wild. By the third go, I sought safety in wealth, collecting vast supplies, yet fell victim to a brutal gang. Now, understanding the key—precise foresight, survival skills, strict secrecy, and solitude—I see the purpose in reliving this collapse. This time, failure is not an option. This time, I will survive and outlive the apocalypse.

A radio message

Yui's casual chuckle breaks the tension momentarily, but her next words catch me off guard. "I mean, I know no one would believe. But anyway."

Curiosity piqued, I lean in. "Are you talking about reincarnation?" I ask, wondering if she too is entangled in phenomena as bewildering as my own experiences.

Yui pauses, her expression unreadable for a moment. "Yes, something similar," she finally admits, her voice carrying a hint of reluctance as if unsure how much to disclose.

I exchange a quick glance with Joon-ho, seeking his take on this unexpected turn. His subtle shake of the head is a clear signal—not yet. He is cautious, reminding me to guard my own secret for now. I nod slightly in acknowledgement, keeping my deeper connections to reincarnation to myself.

"Well, the concept of it is quite common these days, thanks to web fiction," I remark, aiming to keep the conversation light and probing without revealing too much.
