The cold air felt heavier every day, as if the earth itself was breathing its last. High above, the skies bore witness to a familiar sun and three red suns, an anomaly that had changed everything. What had once been a peaceful life, among fields and mountains, had transformed into something much more somber. The world as Alex knew it no longer existed. From the farm, surrounded by mountains and covering acres of fertile land, everything seemed to remain the same on the surface. The fences were still standing, the crops still growing, and the animals continued with their daily routine. But Alex knew the truth was different. The world outside, the cities, the towns, even the nearby forests, were no longer what they used to be. The change had begun slowly, almost imperceptibly, until one day, the skies took on an unusual red hue. The temperature began to drop and with it, came the first signs that something much more serious was happening. The animals near the farm, once peaceful and part of the natural cycle of country life, began to mutate. Squirrels, rats, and even smaller creatures, now larger, fiercer, and more numerous, approached the perimeter more and more frequently. Total chaos had not yet arrived. Not on the farm, at least. But in the cities, rumors spoke of disorder, looting, and growing fear. The newscasts no longer offered clear answers, and uncertainty had become the only certainty. Alex, watching the fields from the main house, knew that his home, his refuge, was one of the few places that still offered safety. But even safety had a limit. The cold was getting more intense, and resources would not last forever. Time was running out, and although he did not want to admit it, he knew that he could not survive alone for much longer. Sooner or later, he would have to seek allies, friends, or even his own family. He had built what he could to protect himself, but the world was changing too quickly. The days of simple farm life were over. Now, the struggle to survive in a world he no longer recognized had only just begun.

Unexpectedly, she woke up in the past, one year before the start of the apocalypse, with a strange system in her head that allowed her to buy and sell materials, information, power, structures, and weapons. She decided that she wouldn't let what had happened to her in her last life happen again.
