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 75: The Aftermath

Chapter 75: The Aftermath

Alex stood amidst the ruins of her brother's stronghold, her sword hanging loosely at her side. Smoke billowed in the air, mingling with the acrid stench of blood and ash. The screams of the dying and the groans of the wounded had faded into a heavy silence. Her victory should have felt like a triumph, but all she could sense was the weight of loss pressing down on her chest.

The fight was over. Her brother was gone. And yet, as she stared at the shattered remains of the organization that had nearly destroyed everything she held dear, she couldn't help but feel that something worse was on the horizon.

Ethan approached, limping slightly, his arm cradled against his chest where a deep cut still oozed blood. His face was pale, his eyes dull with exhaustion, but he managed a faint smile as he stopped beside her.

"You did it," he said, his voice hoarse. "It's over."
