Rebirth: 100 Days Before Doomsday

Leaving her office, Grace drove straight to Warehouse 7 that was located on the outskirts of the city. It was over an hour ride that she spent listening to music and just enjoying the beautiful scenery.

All of a sudden, she found herself admiring everything around her - whether it were the vehicles passing by, the tall skyscrapers, the restaurants or cafes, or the tall, luscious green trees and beautiful parks.

As she watched people going around with their daily lives, enjoying the crisp late morning as any other usual day, she wondered exactly who was more lucky - those people who were able to enjoy their present without the fear of the future, or her who was about to sacrifice her present to buy a chance of surviving the future.

An hour later, she parked the car in front of the warehouse and climbed out, heading inside the building to complete the task for which she had made this trip.

The men who were employed at the warehouse, to keep the goods safe, were clearly not expecting her sudden visit. Most of them didn't even recognize her since they had never been so lucky to meet the head of Blackwood House.

But even though they didn't recognize her, no one moved to immediately stop her. It was because her aura screamed that she owned the damn place and it made them hesitate. Thus, they waited for Sylas, the incharge of warehouse 7, to confront the woman.

"Boss!"

Sylas quickly came to find the person who had arrived at the warehouse when his subordinates informed him about it, but nothing prepared him to see the head of the Blackwood House.

The moment his voice reached the ears of his subordinates, everyone bowed their heads to formally greet Grace.

"Take your men and leave this place. I'm going to handle the goods." Grace informed Sylas while she took a look around the place. When her attention returned to Sylas, she found him still standing there with a surprised look on his face.

"L-leave? How can you manage so many goods on your own? Let me..."

The rest of the words never made their way out of his mouth as he was left completely stunned and terrified when Grace's warm emerald gaze suddenly turned icy. He dared to question her order, and she definitely didn't like it.

Not wanting to lose his head, he quickly decided to scram from the place. "I w-will leave immediately."

Grace watched as the man signaled his underlings and almost ran out of the gates as if he was being chased by the devil herself. A soft sigh escaped her lips before she turned her attention toward the building standing in front of her and stepped inside.

"2025, can you take care of the CCTV?" She asked the system upon entering the warehouse.

"It's done." 2025 answered merely five seconds later.

Finally having the privacy she needed, Grace immediately started the work of shifting the goods inside the space. Once she had safely shifted all the weapon crates inside the basement of the villa in the Infinite Realm, she entered the space to place everything accordingly in the basement.

The best part she found through 2025 was that she didn't need to move things physically inside the space, as long as she would give a mental command, those things would move around on their own.

Hence, it barely took her ten minutes of the space's time to organize all the weapon crates in order. The moment she was done, she heard an electronic voice speaking.

TASK COMPLETED!

REWARD: 10,000 Points

CONGRATULATIONS ON LEVELING UP!

Current Level: 4

Total Points: 10,000

There was a small satisfactory smile playing on her lips when she finally stepped out of the space and returned to the real world. It felt really nice to earn those points and level up.

She climbed into the car and drove back to the bustling city. By the time she arrived at the downtown area, it was already past noon. She decided to have a quick lunch at a restaurant.

Recalling how scarce food was in the apocalypse, she decided to have a proper meal while she still could. She ordered - Creamy Tomato Basil Soup, Salad, Herb-Crusted Grilled Salmon, Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Sautéed Asparagus, Chocolate Mousse, and Freshly Squeezed Lemonade.

While eating, she made sure to enjoy each dish and its rich flavor. After not eating such fresh, delicious, and variety-filled dishes in ages, she felt so grateful for getting a second chance at life.

She just finished the starters when she thought of something and picked up her phone. Scrolling through her contacts for a few seconds, she finally dialed a number.

All it took were two rings before the receiver picked up the call.

[Hello, Boss.]

"I want you to arrange me an appointment with Dr. Kian this afternoon. And before you ask, nothing is wrong with me. I just want to meet him." Grace told the person on the other side of the call.

There was silence for the next few moments as that person possibly looked through Dr. Kian's schedule.

[He has a slot empty at 3:15 this afternoon. Will that be alright?]

"It's alright with me. Arrange it immediately and I'll be there on time." Grace informed the person and was about to end the call when she heard -

[Just wanted to tell you that Dr. Kian isn't working in the neurosurgeon department today. He's on duty in the-]

"It doesn't matter." Grace informed the person on the other end of the call. "Arrange the appointment." And then she ended the call. She didn't care in which department Dr. Kian was working that afternoon, she just wanted to meet him briefly.

Little did she know just how much she was about to regert her decision...!
