Survival of the fittest: Rise of the Phoenix

I thought I was just another gamer until I found myself in a post-apocalyptic world where survival is a game—and I’m playing for keeps. With my life on the line and grotesque creatures lurking around every corner, I quickly learn that strategy is my best weapon. But it’s not just about surviving; it’s about forging bonds with a ragtag group of fellow survivors. Among them is Ethan, a brooding ex-soldier who makes my heart race despite the danger we face. As we navigate a treacherous landscape filled with rival factions and ancient magic, I must uncover the secrets within me that could turn the tide in our favor. Will our growing connection help us rise from the ashes, or will the chaos of this world tear us apart before we get the chance?

Chapter 46: Death Comes Knocking

Alex's POV

The world around Alex blurred as she watched Ethan's face, his breaths shallow and labored. They had only just returned to their makeshift camp, their assault plan barely set in motion, when he collapsed. Now, he lay on the thin mat under the shelter they had hastily thrown together, his skin pale and drenched with sweat. This wasn't like the other times he'd been injured—she could feel it in the frantic beat of her heart, the ominous dread clawing its way up her throat.

A low murmur of voices outside the tent filtered in, anxious whispers from those who were waiting, watching, their faith in her shaken by the realization that even Ethan—their strongest, their most indestructible—was vulnerable.
