Lost At The Farthest Ends

In this new life, I will become immortal—not only that, but the strongest… Although I do not want to die, I do not fear death. In this life, I will strive for nothing but my goals, paving my own future. The heavens will not allow it? So what… If my cultivation is high enough, even heaven itself will be nothing more than an annoyance, a mere obstacle on my path toward supremacy. I will only move forward, carving my own path, weaving chains from others’ despair. I will use those chains to bind the heavens. Not only will I sweep the earth, but I will shape it to my will, reigning above all who stand in my way. In the end, I will raise my flag and sing in triumph. This is my own path, my only reason to live. Shī Héng Yì! The Lost Dao: Where the Path Ends, the Journey Begins

In a post-apocalyptic world, you'll find four main types of people. Those who fight with all their might "the hunters." The ones who leech and exploit others "the pests." The predators, who see everyone as prey. And lastly, we have "the survivors," the resilient ones who never give up. Everyone often fits into one category, but it's hard to determine which one Maya falls into. She's not exactly a fighter, considering leaving her room was a chore even before the apocalypse. A predator? No way—she's always been a pushover. You might think she's a survivor, but that's laughable. She'd rather die from starvation than resort to scavenging. So, how should we categorize her? leeche? Nope. Perhaps a new category is needed: "The Lost"—those struggling to find their place in a shattered world."

Autumn has always been the girl everyone wanted to be—beautiful, intelligent, effortlessly cool, and the center of attention. Her confidence borders on arrogance, but no one ever challenges it. She moves through life as if the world was designed to revolve around her. And in a way, it does. Then there’s August. She’s the opposite. Unassuming, awkward, and invisible in Autumn’s blinding shadow. Where Autumn thrives, August stumbles. Autumn finds an unspoken satisfaction in knowing that no matter what happens, at least she’s better than August. And August knows it too. But life has a way of flipping the script. Suddenly, Autumn’s perfect world begins to crumble. Her lover drifts away, drawn to someone more grounded. Her family becomes distant, her friends scatter, and the attention she once commanded is now focused elsewhere. And there, at the center of it all, is August. As August starts to rise—finding confidence, discovering her own brilliance—Autumn falls. Everything she took for granted slips through her fingers. The roles reverse, and Autumn finds herself in the unfamiliar position of being the one who doesn’t measure up. Now Autumn must confront the reality of who she is without the world validating her worth. And for the first time, she begins to see August not as the girl she could belittle, but as the person who might just be her savior. Because while Autumn was busy ruling her small world, August was quietly building her own.
