Synopsis
Misunderstandings in Alex’s past life had severed ties between him and Leo, while schemes of Leo’s brother, Oliver, made it irreversible. Not until doomsday broke loose when, while Alex went on a mission, that traitorously-felt a deal with Leo’s family, he was caught, and the sinister part of his superpower awakened: the vile strength that rendered him the enemy of mankind. Leo slowly started feeling that he was losing his humanity with Alex finding him and trying to do so by that time it was too late and Leo was already totally damaged. To protect the new Leo, Alex began acting out, showing his true self only when the two were alone to heal Leo’s scars but without gaining his full trust. When an enemy used an omega to infiltrate the group of survivors, Alex quickly realized it, pretended to fall for the beauty trick, and took the omega into the forest to get rid of him. After all, it wasn't the first time they'd used this trick, and it always worked. However, Alex made a mistake because he didn't know the omega had a magical jade space around his neck, where another survivor was hiding, waiting for an opportunity to kill him. The last thing Alex saw before he died was the omega transforming his appearance, changing from omega to alpha, and handing the necklace to someone else, apparently another omega. He wasn't sure why his vision was going dark, but all he could think about was Leo. Reborn, awakened weak, sick, and trapped two years before the apocalypse, Alex must repair his relationship with Leo. With the zombie apocalypse looming and the pressure from his family mounting, Alex and Leo must fight not only the future threat of the undead, but also the ghosts of their insecurities.

Chapter 1 - The beginning after the end

At night, in a now completely silent forest, a beautiful girl with long black hair, fluttering due to the night breeze, apparently frightened after seeing the fat man lying on the ground, her cat-like eyes changed from astonishment to calm until she sighed and said in a male voice.

"Sister Angel, for a moment, I thought the plan had gone wrong. I was afraid the silencer wouldn't work. It was all thanks to your secret weapon."

To the astonishment of Alex, lying on the ground, the face of the now smiling woman transformed until it took on the appearance of an unknown man.

Alex knew from the beginning that it was a trap, so he pretended that he had fallen into the seduction game, but he had searched the area beforehand and was sure that no one was there, so he thought he could make this spy confess and then get rid of her, but out of nowhere another person materialized behind him, even people with space powers couldn't do that. Space powers were rare, and being able to evolve them was even rarer.

All people with space powers could only store supplies in space and nothing more, so they had to be protected by others because they were the people with superpowers who were weaker and easier to kill.

Without strength, Alex fell to the ground and suddenly remembered the rumor. In one of the main bases, there was a woman who, after being rescued, tried to take a jade Buddha from the dead bandit, and consequently, the same jade Buddha was broken by a shot from the person who rescued him.

This piece of jade Buddha, however, contained a space of 10m² that allowed this girl to hide temporarily if necessary.

However, this space did not have the power to keep food fresh and prevent it from spoiling over time.

Rumors had it that this same girl, whom the high-ranking people of the base courted, was looking for another whole jade pendant with the same powers.

If only one fragment had such power, she could not even imagine the power that an entire pendant without any defects would have, offering food rewards for it.

However, could a jade pendant be that easy to find? And the reward she offered was well below the real value if another pendant like that existed.

This reward, however, was able to arouse the interest of many ordinary people who were in need. Another pendant, however, was not found.

Alex, as he began to lose consciousness with a shot to the heart, obviously from behind, faintly smelled an omega, but the man in front of him was an Alpha, so the only possibility was that the person who had shot him was an omega.

In the moment before his death, Alex thought about Leo and that he had failed to protect him, even though he didn't consider himself in need of his protection.

Using his last strength to try to pronounce Leo's name, he thought that if he got another chance, he would do everything to protect him.

His mouth, however, only moved slightly without being able to make a sound before he closed his eyes forever. The unknown person unlocked the gun and pointed it at Alex's head. 

"The first was in the heart, the next will be in the head. After all, we don't want him to become a zombie."

Alex, however, was already dead due to blood loss.
