My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse

章節 1: Chapter 1 My 100'th Life

Kisha Aldens as a fresh graduate looked high and low for a place to work, our society now is very competitive and almost all companies are looking for stellar workers with experience and a good family background. Hence, Kisha did not fit in with the requirements, her only advantages are her stellar grades and her celebrity-like face. Despite her clean records, others still valued their interest and helped their relatives to get the positions.

After a multitude of applications sent to various companies, big and small, she finally landed an average position in a medium-sized company.

At first, everyone treated her cordially, she even garnered some admirers because of her pure and kind temperament and she's great in her work, but it's also because of this quality that she has gained the jealousy and envy of other women.

Their Manager Lisa was the first to make a move when her sugar daddy, the company's Director got captivated by Kisha's beauty. The unsuspecting Kisha had almost become a capitalist toy if it were not for Lisa's fear of being replaced, would she not have helped Kisha avoid the disaster. However, she also started targeting Kisha, giving her unfair treatment in the company and even instigated others to do so.

Kisha felt that it was unfair and hard not to get angry but if she gets fired. It will be harder for other companies to hire her, her only choice was to persevere and resign after a few years to have a better prospect. Not until she suddenly saw a bluish system interface showing a countdown in front of her face.

She thought she was hallucinating after long hours of work and lack of sleep. She tried to look around and saw her colleague acting normal. She blinked a few more times but it was still there. Another prompt message appears.

"Ding"

"[User had met the requirements to integrate with System 008]"

Below the message was a 10-second countdown. She did not know what it was, the feeling was very novel. It was so vivid that it was hard to think of it as a hallucination, not unless she was going nuts.

There were even two buttons to Accept or Decline the offer.

She tried to wave her hands around but accidentally clicked the Accept button. The interface changed and showed a loading icon that almost occupied the entirety of the interface.

She was puzzled but she was not given time to think deeply,

The department manager Lisa walked out of her office as she shouted. "Alright, everyone! Finish your respective research and report! I need it by the end of the day!" She walked around the room in body-fitted clothes and 6-inch high heels.

She never forgets to stop at Kisha's desk to sarcastically demean her. "What are you doing Ms. Aldens?! Start working! The higher-ups are egging me on with the development report for the new project! You're as slow as a turtle and as dim-witted as a pig"

Kisha kept her head lowered and did not speak because the more she tried to explain, the heavier their bullying would be. No one would stand up for her nor show sympathy. One's weakness is not their business but Kisha has never experienced this before, she grew up well protected by her grandparents.

She always believed that as long as she's a good person and her conscience is clear, she'll soon find her happiness. Naive, I know. But she was raised by a middle-aged couple who found her on the road when she was 6 years old. They were good people and forgiving, they would always tell her stories of Prince and Princess and isolate her from the madness of people's inner thoughts because they wanted Kisha to remain kind and pure even when she grew old, that's why Kisha grew up believing in Prince Charming and never delved deeper into people's hearts. This belief caused her not just an arm but life, or should I say lives.

Kisha's long and curly eyelashes fluttered as she blinked multiple times, a severe headache assaulting her head as she listened to the loud voice above her, sounds of computer keyboards halted almost at the same time, and women around snickering as they enjoyed another bout of Kisha's miseries.

Not long after, there was a big earthquake, cracks slowly crawling on the walls, and things falling from high places. This sends everyone into chaos. After the scary tremor, everyone evacuated the building in an orderly manner and stood outside looking for an open space to avoid the aftershock. Not long after the earthquake was a bloody rain that lasted for 10 minutes and was enough to cover everyone from head to toe with blood-like fluids, the horrifying scene was so scary that everyone thought that it was the end of the world.

Well, they are not wrong. Soon after, their thoughts started materializing. People outside started screaming in pain and scratching their skin as if trying to dig into their flesh.

Horrified, some took a step back and looked at the woman who was squirming on the floor. A man tried to call for an ambulance while two other men tried to stop the woman from hurting herself, thinking that she was having a panic attack.

The woman bit the man holding her arms, and due to the pain, he pushed her using all his strength. But the chaos intensified, more people started biting on the people near them and the scene became bloody.

Kisha was scared silly and held the person next to her, Lisa. Although Kisha was not weak they were all mentally unstable because of all the blood gushing and spraying around. She didn't know what to do until one of their male colleagues pulled them to run.

It was crowded outside their office and everything was in chaos, and it became a stampede.

They turned and entered the building instead to hide for a while to monitor the situation. When they thought that they were safe, a man with part of his face's skin falling off and an open stomach ran after them, it attacked Lisa but since Kisha was still holding on to Lisa's arm, Lisa kicked Kisha to the zombie to be her meat shield.

Kisha's eyes widened in shock and pain but she could not do anything and was bitten in the neck. She used all her strength to push the zombie away, blood painted her white polo shirt.

"Ding!" " Congratulations Host for Successfully integrating with the system." A childlike voice sounded in her head. Aggrieved and flustered 008 said. "Oh no! I was too late, you were bitten by the infected."

It has just integrated with its new host and the user is already infected. He was fuming but it had no way out too.

Kisha felt a hot pulsing current from where she was bitten but lost consciousness before she got far. When she opened her eyes again, she was back in the office. Everything felt like a vivid nightmare. She subconsciously looked at her phone, it showed September 2nd, 1:30 pm. She remembered that it was supposed to be September 3rd today. She thought that her phone must have malfunctioned and looked at her computer screen to check the date.

It puzzled her to see the same September 2nd, 1:30 pm.

But everything became more clear when the nightmare she thought, happened again the next day.

On her third rebirth, she called for sick leave to avoid the disaster and did not allow her family members to go out. She wanted to wait for the government to rescue them but they ended up starving to death.

On her fourth rebirth, she and her family manage to save up supplies but was still not enough, not wanting to repeat her previous mistake to die from starvation, she and her brother went to find supplies but they encountered black-hearted people and they wanted to rape her so her brother did his best to protect her but ended up being stab in the throat. Knowing that she couldn't run away, she decided to throw herself into a zombie instead of being played with by those men.

On her fifth time, she decided that enough was enough. She took a kitchen knife and planned to fight instead of cowering in their house. She did manage to learn a few things after staying alive for 2 weeks. But she and her brother could not protect their grandparents well and still ended up dying with the scruples for supplies.

On the sixth rebirth, 008 seems to have had enough of seeing its host dying so many times.

"Host, why don't you use me, your system? I'm omnipotent, upgrade me and I'll be stronger!"

Hearing the familiar voice in her head, she started asking 008 to teach her how to use the system. After finding out its function and what it can do. Kisha started laughing and crying at the same time, she gritted her teeth as she tried to calm her raging heart and mind.

008 cowered as it felt its host's strong anger.

Kisha lost her reasons and for the first time in her whole life cursed and raged at someone. "You fucking system! You could have told me from the second time I woke up, I would not have been angry with you the first time because we were still integrating and it was too late, but you were silent for so long, you were supposed to be my support but you just watch me and my family die for so many times?!"

After the bout of cursing and letting her emotions out, she felt like she was truly reborn inside out. This nightmare kept on repeating and her only way out was her system. But soon after superhumans emerge. She was besieged by superhumans for her supplies and massacred her family.

Her unending death and rebirth kept on repeating that her mental health was collapsing, every time she went back to the first day of the apocalypse, her family would see her changes and it hurt to see her that way but they didn't know what caused it or how to help.

What seemed like an endless loop kept on repeating, she experienced all kinds of death. Countless years of experience were only visible in her head because even her experience points and the items she got before death would reset on the first day. She couldn't find a loophole, she tried all possible ways to give her family a safe place but the whole world was so engulfed by the apocalyptic era that it seemed impossible.

Not until she reached her 99th rebirth and she met the Tyrant Emperor, Duke. He built a base of his own and he found her talent and strength admirable, they see eye to eye, both on the verge of insanity. They found solace in each other's company, they built a safe haven of their own using his previous base as a foundation.

But Kisha is still a woman inside and out, in the chaotic harsh world they live in, her heart still looks for comfort and warmth that her family can't give. She felt the gentleness and love provided by a man that she once saved and fell in love with him.

Little did she know that the man she thought loved her would betray her and would cause not only her death but even implicate Duke who was killed before her.

....

She opened her eyes in the same old office that was engraved in her memory. The desk that she was so familiar with, the computer screen showing the same date and time [September 2nd, 1:30 pm], and the people sneering behind her.

Lisa kept demeaning her with the same old phrase. Kisha's long and curly eyelashes fluttered as she blinked multiple times as she tried to control the pulsing headache that made her feel irritated.

She massaged her temple as she tried her best to rearrange her thoughts. "Stop barking like a dog, will you?" Her temperament changed from timid to glacially cold, there was even a hint of killing intent.

Everything went silent and people's jaws dropped that can fit a whole duck egg. "What's wrong with Kisha?" A girl murmured.

Everyone looked at her as if they were looking at a new continent. Well, they can't be blamed, as Kisha's change of demeanor and tone had never been heard before, she is as timid as a rabbit even when bullied by Lisa, she would always hold her breath when Lisa is scolding her out of mood swings.

"Ding...."

She looked at the system interface in front of her showing a 24-hour countdown. "We meet again host!" A child-like voice sounded in her head.

A new system notification appeared in front of her. "New title obtained!"

"Congratulations host for obtaining the 100'th life Title!"

章節 2: Chapter 2 Duke Winters

"Congratulations host for obtaining the 100'th life Title!"

Kisha gritted her teeth and her hand clutched the arm of the chair. "Are you congratulating me or are you pissing me off?!"

"Of course, I'm congratulating you! This title includes 100 thousand shop points plus 10 points on all stats!" If the system has a body it would start jumping around while setting off handheld fireworks.

"Fuck off!" She roared in her head. The system immediately went silent.

"To think that I would be betrayed by my best friend and lover in that raid." She thought.

They must have planned it long ago, and to think that she never suspected them, Unlike them who are always in the base, Kisha was busy trying to expand their territory and making it as safe as possible.

This was not her first time dying but it was the most painful, as she spent 5 years with them. She saved her lover from dying in the clutches of a high-level zombie while she intercepted a group of human-eating people to save their captive including her supposed best friend. But what does she get from her love and care? Betrayal!

To think that the man she loved would push her to the zombie hoard with his eyes full of disdain and disgust while her best friend clinging to him, showing Kisha that he belonged to her, her face plastered with the smile of victory.

She gave them the best of everything and treated them as precious as her family, she never forced them to do what they didn't want to do. She even got into an argument with her family and her friend just to make sure they wouldn't feel misunderstood.

"I never believed it when others told me that those dogs were cheating on me! I thought I graduated from being naive and overtrusting."

"I'm still here host, even if you can't trust anyone, you could always trust me." The system said proudly.

"Right. I still have you. You've stayed with me in the 99 times I died. To think that I died that many times. Why does my life become like a game character where I die at every turn of events?" Kisha said numbly.

"In the novels mentioned by those kids, the main character would become OP when they gained a system, why is it different from mine?"

"Host! Are you showing disdain over me?!" The system said angrily.

"Kisha you bitch! Are you ignoring me now?!" A shrill female voice pulled Kisha from her thoughts.

Kisha stood up from her chair and looked coldly at Lisa. " I will not become your punching bag today. Are you having your menopause that's why you're always moody and angry?" Kisha's brow raises questioningly while looking straight at her.

Lisa's face contorted and she pointed at Kisha with a trembling hand. "What did you say?! You bitch, have you eaten a lion's balls that you have the guts to retort?!"

"No, it's just that I had enough of your bullying since I entered this company. Not only did you bully me but you even promoted others to do the same." Kisha's piercing gaze sent a shiver through Lisa's spine and she unconsciously took a step back.

"Either you took my credit as your own or you gave it to others in return for money. I have never voiced my anger and dissatisfaction but you never stop there, you would even deduct my pay with petty excuses." Kisha took a step forward emitting an incredulous killing intent, even the people watching turned pale as they were overpowered by pressure.

"Just because you don't like me and I am a fresh graduate, that you do this to me? You called me a bimbo with no context but you gave me all the core work and overworked me without paying for my overtime work. Tell me what would happen if this reached the upper echelon?"

"Don't slander me, bitch! You don't have any evidence." In the air-conditioned office, Lisa's face was full of sweat and her legs trembling.

"You can try me." Kisha looked at her one last time before walking out. But before she reached the door Lisa screamed. "You are fired! You hear me? FIRED!"

"Kisha is so scary! If I had not seen her earlier this morning and seen her being timid while others bullied her. I would think that this person standing before us is an impostor." a guy near the door whispered to his colleague.

"But don't you think she's more attractive this way? She's like a poppy flower, beautiful yet addictive." the other guy nodded, his eyes glued to Kisha.

"No need to tell me, I quit anyway." She walked out with her things in a high-profile manner.

When she reaches the elevator she smirks. "008, gather all the evidence about Lisa's bribery, prostitution with the director, office bullying, and taking credit for others' work and send it all to the higher management."

"Host that would cost 5000 points, should I deduct it now?"

" Yes, and don't forget to delete all my work from my computer. Use the point needed for all this work since we have enough to allocate to the upgrades and purchase of important items."

Although there are only 24 hours before the apocalypse befalls, I would let you lose what you are so proud of as payment for killing me in my first life Lisa. This is your debt to me and I promised to take your life when our paths cross again!

...

On the highest floor of the Alpha Empire Corporation, Duke Winters is looking at the report of the misconduct that was sent anonymously. As the one who sat at the top of the pyramid since he reached eighteen up until now that he is twenty-five, he has cleaned his company of any corruption and showed his ruthlessness when dealing with human trash. But to think that this still happened under one of the companies under him is unforgivable, he exercised positive rivalry in the workplace, big paychecks, and rewarded his employees handsomely for the great work but of course, he only accepted those who were qualified.

"Tristan, I want this dealt with before this day ends!"

Tristan respectfully bowed beside Duke and took the files with two hands, as he left Duke's office, he made sure to close the door. Duke's phone lit up and an unknown number is calling. Only Tristan, his closest friends, and his family members knew his number, his private information is highly protected, and even though this is highly suspicious he had an inkling feeling to answer the call which baffled him.

He answered the call and stood up, looked over the floor-to-ceiling window which overlooked City A, the most prosperous city in their country. "Hello." His cold and indifferent voice could make those who heard it feel a shiver but the one on the other side of the phone felt nostalgia and swelling happiness in her heart.

An equally cold female voice with a hint of gentleness sounded on the phone. "Duke, I have urgent information to share with you."

His eyebrow knitted but there was no displeasure in his heart instead curiosity plagued him. Without the change in his voice, he answered. "Who are you?"

"My name is Kisha Aldens, I'll be arriving in your office in 15 minutes. I hope you can inform the front desk to allow me in or let Tristan fetch me."

Surprise flashed in Duke's eyes. This was the first time he heard the woman's voice and hadn't even seen her but he could feel her pure intentions and an indescribable feeling swirling in his heart, there was not even an ounce of doubt. Before he could utter a word the call got cut off.

He thought deeply he could not come up with an answer so he decided to instruct the front desk to lead Kisha to his office once she arrived. He usually doesn't give strangers a second of his time, other has to line up to wait for him and give them a chance. But this time, he waited patiently for Kisha to arrive and hear what this urgent information she carried with her.

Not long after, a knock sounded from the door. "Mr. Winters, your guest has arrived."

A deep cold voice but surprisingly pleasant to the ear uttered. "Come in."

As Kisha was led inside the office, she saw Duke leaning in his leather office chair. Monitoring her every action. In his black and wood-themed office which looks elegant and noble, he still stood out the most, his perfect chiseled face, high nose bridge, seductive deep eyes that could suck you in, and his thin lips. It's not only limited to his face but he also has a good figure, his body is lean but a little muscular with his height of 189 cm. He's like a supermodel. No wonder his the most sought-after bachelor in the entire country. It might sound exaggerated but he's good-looking, even Kisha who's gone through life and death with him still gets attracted by his good genes.

"What do want to drink?" Duke asked

"Water is fine." Kisha answered, she tried to tone down the coldness her body emitted as she looked straight at Duke's eyes.

He called for his secretary in the intercom to prepare his coffee and bring Kisha water. In his spacious office, he seems so far away from Kisha who sits silently on the sofa in the middle of the room. He stood up from his chair and walked to the sofa to sit in front of her, to also get a better look at the woman who piqued his interest.

His efficient secretary brought the drinks and closed the door to give them space to talk about their business.

She watched him elegantly drink his coffee as if he were a piece of art. "He's still as handsome as I remembered but as cold as a block of ice." She chuckled in her mind

His usually intimidating aura intensified, thinking that it might work on Kisha like it did to others. "Tell me what is this urgent information you brought." He leaned on the sofa and put his right leg on top of his left as he crossed his arms.

Kisha was unperturbed by his intimidation as she continued. "I want you to promise first to give me 100M worth of supplies."

Duke's brow raises trying to understand what is inside her head. "What would I get in return?"

"A life-saving information." She smiles gracefully as she drinks her water.

"Host! Are you trying to scam this guy to get your supplies?" 008's excited voice rang in her head.

"Well, you issued a 100M supply gathering mission. Do you think I have that much money?"

"But don't we usually ransack the warehouses around?"

"Not only is it time-consuming but I can't do that within the 22-hour time remaining before the apocalypse starts and I have other things that I need to prepare."

"But this guy is always suspicious of everyone and is usually the one who scams people until nothing is left. How can we even get something out of him?"

"Well, let's try to negotiate because not only his people is efficient in getting things done, but we might be able to share his resources in the future if he deems this information useful. Either way, we are not losing out."

Duke's eyes narrowed as he tried to read through her eyes but could not get anything from her deadpan expression. "So tell me. What information is deemed life-saving and is worth 100M? You know that I am a businessman and I do not make a losing deal."

"Let me show you something first." The glass of cold water in Kisha's hand suddenly disappeared and reappeared like magic

Although, Duke still has an indifferent expression. There were surging emotions deep within him and could not understand what had happened or he refused to understand as he is a more scientific than superstitious kind of person.

Kisha understood him better than other people, that's why she knew that he must have understood the emergence of superpowers but was thinking of how to know the triggers.

"As you've seen, I have awakened. But this is not what's important, I showed you my superpowers to give the upcoming information more credibility."

His whole body stiffened as his expression turned serious and his ears perked up.

"In 22 hours, there will be a huge earthquake but that's not all, it will be followed by a blood rain which will cause the virus to spread. This is not limited to this city. The whole world will fall into chaos. That's why I'm trying to get as much supply as possible." Kisha did not keep any information from him as she trust him from the bottom of her heart. He is the only person who never betrayed her even when his life was endangered or died.
