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 70: Bloodlines

Chapter 70: Bloodlines

Nightfall descended over the wasteland, painting the jagged terrain in deep shadows. The air was heavy with tension, and Alex felt its weight pressing down on her chest. She sat near the fire, her arms wrapped around her knees, staring into the flickering flames. Ethan was a few feet away, sharpening his blade with deliberate strokes, his gaze occasionally flickering toward her.

The encounter with Sam had left her shaken. She couldn't forget the coldness in his eyes, the weight of his words, and the terrifying reality of his existence. A brother she had mourned, a brother she had believed lost forever, was alive. But he wasn't the boy she remembered.

Ethan's voice broke the silence. "You've been quiet."

Alex glanced at him, her eyes haunted. "I'm trying to make sense of it. He shouldn't be alive, Ethan. My family... they all died in the fire. I was there. I saw it."
