Chapter 45

After the last monster fell, Quara's party gathered around her, their faces filled with a mix of exhaustion and relief. But their joyous expressions quickly faded as they noticed the troubled look on Quara's face.

"Quara, are you alright?" Samantha asked, concern lacing her voice. "We did it! We cleared the wave!"

"Something... something strange happened," she began, her voice filled with unease. "I didn't regress to the beginning of the apocalypse this time. Instead, I was thrown back to the beginning of this battle."

Her companions exchanged bewildered glances, unable to fully comprehend the gravity of her words. Hugh furrowed his brow. "What do you mean, Quara? Isn't that what always happens when we fail to clear a wave?"
