The kid waddled away to the lunch line with his tiny body… was that all really a dream? It felt too real… well the dreams I had in my depression era also felt really real, maybe my depression and anxiety returned! I mean… how can it not when I'm literally in this apocalypse?
Let's not dwell on the past… this time, I'll just stay right here waiting for the lunch instead of wondering around!

(Kid's POV)
I walked to the lunch line, immediately getting pushed by other adults hoping to get another serving, not caring about some little kid trying to get food so he can LIVE! ugh, I always hated lines… maybe I should just infect all those cutters-
…That's actually a good idea… I'll just steal some food while they're in chaos- no… I still haven't figured out which timeline I'm in.
Perhaps this is another "end of apocalypse" timeline… it's been a while since I got some peace and quiet.
I turned my head to look at the psychopath… he's still crouching on the same place looking like an idiot he is… is this really the end of apocalypse ending??? Those only have a 2% to pop up… for them to appear again… sigh, can't wait to see some proper sunlight instead of this moldy weather.
I quickly grabbed two servings and made it back to the idiot… only to find I'm talking to a random girl about the same age as him. "Who is this?…"
The idiot smiled pointing at the girl before saying, "Her name is Mia!"
Mia? I repeated timelines over and over again in this same camp to the point I memorized everyone… especially the kids since you could count them on one hand…. There was never a kid named Mia, at least a living one.
I only know a small made up grave in the inner garden named "Mia"
Something's not right… I dropped the lunch trays onto the idiot and ran towards the inner garden… there's no grave named Mia, only new graves with the name of Noah, Dean, Liam, and William.
There was never a timeline where "Mia" was alive, could this be a new timeline? What's the percent for this timeline to appear? Probably under 1%-
"Why did you suddenly run off?" The idiot caught up to, holding the hands of Mia while his other hands holding two pieces of bread that I got for our lunch.
A new timeline… is it still the end of apocalypse ending? Or something much worse…
Footsteps echoed along the marbled floor of the inner garden, a young man appeared whom Mia ran towards, calling him "Brother Elsher!"

(Noel's POV)
I froze in track, slowly looked up at the man called 'Elsher'
If I'm right… the original villian of this trashy novel was named Reian Elsher… his full name was only mentioned once in the intire novel, but I could memorize it… because it was also the name of that stupid author!
The man had blue hair and golden eyes… with a sharp feature highlighting his looks… of course that stupid author made a overpowered handsome character and gave it his name.
The audacity….
The man smiled at us while patting Mia's head, but the smile was clearly fake.
He has this whole 'I'm the mastermind' smile.
"Oh my, it's quite hard for kids like you to survive down here… would you two mind coming upstairs with me? I have a safer place for you two on the 9th floor.
I opened my mouth to refuse- when that that kid beat me to it by accepting his offer with an yes.
This idiot! Sigh… he doesn't know that this is the mastermind after all….
