“In exactly thirty days, the global financial system would collapse, plunging the world into a starving, bloody apocalypse. In my previous life, my brothers and I desperately fought for scraps in the ruined city, but the person I trusted most pushed me into the abyss. My older brother Ethan was beaten to death by a frantic mob while buying time for us to escape. My other brother, Mason, went out to scavenge antibiotics for my infected wound, only to have his hands chopped off by a gang. He bled out in my arms. When I was too sick to walk, my boyfriend Dean-the man I loved and relied on-dragged me to a group of ruthless scavengers. "She's still breathing. I'll trade her for that one can of food." I died in the freezing dirt, humiliated and broken. I couldn't understand how the world had turned into such a living hell, or how the man who swore to protect me could sell my life so cheaply. Opening my eyes again, I was back thirty days before the end of the world, just as my abusive father raised his hand to slap me for my trust fund money. This time, I shattered his wrist, liquidated my eight-million-dollar trust, and awakened a miraculous pocket dimension. I am going to build an impenetrable fortress, and in this life, I will be the monster they should all fear.”
