Chapter 1: The Apocalypse My name is Souta, and I'm just a normal high-school boy who loves to live life on his own terms, doing whatever makes me happy, no matter how dangerous it might be. I never cared about consequences as long as I felt alive. But everything changed when the zombie apocalypse hit. I was in my rented apartment, alone as usual. I don't have a family, and I'm used to living on my own. I was sitting on my sofa, watching TV, when suddenly the screen turned black, and my phone started vibrating non-stop. After a few minutes, both the TV and my phone turned on again, showing an emergency message from the government. The message was a warning about a massive outbreak that was spreading all over the world. It was a virus, and the government had lost control of it. They advised everyone to stay inside their houses and not to go out, as it was a matter of mankind's survival. At first, I thought it was some kind of prank. But when I looked outside my window, I saw chaos and horror. People were biting each other, tearing flesh, and eating each other. It was like hell had come to earth. I panicked and ran towards the door to lock it, but a man punched the door, breaking it down and forcing his way in. I grabbed a knife from the kitchen and sliced his hand, managing to lock the door and calm down for a moment. But my relief was short-lived. Dozens of arms broke my door down, and the zombies came rushing in. I sat in front of the door, watching them approach, resigned to my fate. As I closed my eyes, I thought about the things I had ignored in my life, the empty feeling I always had at home, and the desire to live happily if given a second chance. Suddenly, I felt comfortable and relaxed, like I was in heaven. I couldn't hear the zombies anymore, and I slowly opened my eyes to see a humanoid figure in front of me. It was like an android from a sci-fi movie
