"What bento? Are you trying to trick me again?" Silas asked, sadness in his eyes. "This one!" Ivy said, holding up the packaged meal and waving it at him. "What the... where did that come from?" Silas stared at it in shock. Ivy’s eyes widened. She realized something, only she could see these items, and when she picked them up, they became real. "Can… I buy it from you?" Silas asked, unsure. "Of course. But I won't give it to you for free." Ivy smiled like a fox. Silas closed his eyes; he was ready for her to demand something sky-high and said, "Okay. Tell me how many gold bars you want." Ivy smiled and teased, "I don't want gold bars; they are way too cheap. I want one kiss." Silas: Blushing hard. His subordinates: "..." This wave of dog food was too unexpected! ....................................................... With the supplies, picking a superpower and a safe zone superpower, Ivy built her own residential area. She gained Kindness Energy and multiplied supplies with the help of Temporal Storage.

L'aube de l'apocalypse a apporté le chaos et le désastre à l'humanité. Elle a arraché le masque de la société et révélé la cruauté qui se cachait dessous. Ivy Ravencroft l'a vécu en première ligne. Sa famille était injuste et cruelle, et ils l'ont maltraitée au point qu'elle est devenue aveugle. Son amoureux est mort en essayant de la protéger, et elle a passé les cinq années suivantes à lutter pour survivre, jusqu'à ce qu'elle meure finalement dans l'apocalypse. Mais ensuite, Ivy s'est réveillée à nouveau, renaissant dans la première année de l'apocalypse. Au début, elle se sentait désespérée. Si seulement elle était revenue à une époque avant l'apocalypse, elle aurait pu rassembler de la nourriture, des armes et des provisions pour mieux survivre. Pourtant, elle était reconnaissante pour une chose : elle avait gardé sa capacité spéciale, le pouvoir de créer des zones sûres. Cette fois, Ivy a fait une promesse. Elle protégerait son amoureux, trouverait sa vraie famille et se vengerait de tous ceux qui lui avaient fait du mal. .................................. "Hein ? Pourquoi y a-t-il une boîte bento ici ?" demanda Ivy, confuse. "Quel bento ? Essaies-tu de me tromper encore ?" demanda Silas, la tristesse dans ses yeux. "Celui-ci !" dit Ivy, tenant le repas emballé et l'agitant devant lui. "Quoi... d'où vient-il ?" Silas le regarda, choqué. Les yeux d'Ivy s'élargirent. Elle réalisa quelque chose : elle seule pouvait voir ces objets, et quand elle les ramassait, ils devenaient réels. "Puis-je... te l'acheter ?" demanda Silas, incertain. "Bien sûr. Mais je ne te le donnerai pas gratuitement." Ivy sourit comme un renard. Silas ferma les yeux ; il était prêt à ce qu'elle exige quelque chose d'exorbitant et dit : "D'accord. Dis-moi combien de barres d'or tu veux." Ivy sourit et le taquina : "Je ne veux pas de barres d'or ; elles sont bien trop bon marché. Je veux un baiser." Silas : Rougissant fortement. Ses subordonnés : "..." Cette vague de nourriture pour chien était trop inattendue ! ....................................................... Avec les provisions, choisissant un super-pouvoir et un super-pouvoir de zone sûre, Ivy a construit sa propre zone résidentielle. Elle a gagné l'Énergie de Bonté et a multiplié les provisions avec l'aide du Stockage Temporel. Alors que d'autres bases luttaient pour construire une simple maison, elle a utilisé son doigt d'or pour créer des bâtiments luxueux et les louer, devenant ainsi la grande figure de l'apocalypse.
