Introduction

My name is Ethan, and it wasn't until the apocalypse arrived that I realized just how cruel fate could be.

Ability awakening became the new normal. Most survivors gained some kind of supernatural power, ranging from F-rank to the legendary S-rank.

F-rank abilities were barely better than being ordinary, while S-rank ability users possessed the power to face a hundred enemies alone.

My childhood friend Davis awakened a B-rank ability [Thermal Perception], allowing him to sense the heat distribution of all living beings within a hundred-meter radius.

And me? I got the F-rank ability that everyone mocked—[Refresh].

"Hahaha! Refresh? What can that do? Refresh your life?" People at the camp always laughed at me like that.

But I didn't care. I only wanted to protect my sister Leia.

Leia is eighteen this year, one of the few ordinary people in this camp who haven't awakened an ability.

I swore to protect her, no matter the cost.

That evening at dusk, Davis came to find me, but he had already betrayed me and become a lackey of the Gray Mark Gang.

    Chapter 1

    “伊桑,我发现了一个未被洗劫的生化工厂。”

    “那里可能有很多医疗用品和武器。但我需要你的帮助。”

    我毫不犹豫地答应了。

    戴维斯从小就是我的兄弟。我信任他。

    到达工厂后,我们分开行动。我开始到处寻找戴维斯提到的物资。

    但十分钟过去了,依然没有发现任何消息。我听到戴维斯在附近叫我,立刻赶过去。

    我看到戴维斯指着一个巨大的坑。

    “补给应该在地下仓库里。”

    我走到边缘,低头看去。黑暗无底。

    就在这时,我感觉到身后传来一股巨大的力量。

    “抱歉,伊桑。”

    戴维斯的声音在我耳边回响。

    他狠狠踢了我背后。

    我失去平衡,跌向深渊。黑暗吞噬了我。

    “我们的老板铁拳对你妹妹有好感。只要我把她带到他面前,他就会给我无尽的钱和女人!”

    “我不能一辈子都待在那个营地当劳工!”

    我重重地撞上了深渊底部,身体多处骨折,意识已经有些模糊。

    “读......”

    就这样死在这里?

    不,我不能死!

    莱娅还在等我回来!

    我用尽全力启动了[刷新]能力。

    这个被所有人嘲笑的垃圾能力,成了我此刻唯一的希望。

    突然,我意识到一件事。

    我摸索着附近一个破损的医疗包,注入了我的【刷新】能力。

    医疗包表面的裂缝开始愈合,过期的药品标签也焕然一新。

    我打开医疗包,将止血剂和治愈血清注射到体内。

    我活下来了!

    绝望唤醒了我能力的真正用途!

    It turned out—[Refresh] could reset items to any past state.

    正当我准备继续测试时,腐烂肉体刮擦的声音从黑暗深处传来。

    "Roar—"

    An infected lunged at me, dragging its twisted body, eyes cloudy, dark mucus dripping from its mouth.

    I had no weapon.

    I grabbed a bent steel pipe nearby and held it:

    [Refresh]!

    Light flashed—the bend straightened, rust became metallic luster.

    I tried to refresh another piece of metal—no response.

    Cooldown time... about five seconds?

    The infected pounced right in front of me.

    I gritted my teeth, gripped the steel pipe, and swung down with all my strength.

    The metal struck its head with a bone-cracking sound. The infected fell.

    Then, using the refreshed tools, I climbed out of the pit.

    Night had completely fallen.

    I had to get back to camp. I had to save Leia.

    "How thoughtful."
    "Bella." Ethan's tone shifted, taking on that warning edge I knew too well. "Faye is vulnerable right now. She's terrified you'll resent her, that this will divide the pack. The last thing she wants is for this baby to come between us."
    "Then you shouldn't have done it." I met his eyes squarely, letting him see the ice in mine. "Go back to your son."
    "For fuck's sake." He dragged a hand through his hair. "How many times—it was artificial insemination. They used my sperm, yes, but Faye and I never—"
    Bella let out a cold snort. Such brazen lies. Her mate had an affair with his brother's partner, and his entire family helped force her out with nothing, all to make way for the mistress to take her rightful position. Poor fool—he thought she was just an unwanted adopted daughter, easy to dismiss and control. He never knew the computer genius he'd been searching for was his own Luna.
    Since he'd tainted himself, Bella was done. She rejected him and reclaimed what was hers, rising to the top with help from Victor, who'd been secretly in love with her for years.
    When Ethan tried winning her back: "You don't want our child growing up fatherless."
    Bella smiled mockingly. "The child's father isn't you."

    "You want my forgiveness?" he asked, my voice dropping to a dangerous timbre.

    Before I could answer, he moved closer, suddenly looming over me, his face inches from mine. I felt my breath caught, my lips parting in surprise.

    "Then this is the price for speaking ill of me to others," he murmured, nipping my lower lip before claiming my mouth in a real kiss. It began as punishment but quickly transformed into something else entirely as I responded, my initial rigidity melting into compliance, then active participation.

    My breathing accelerated, small sounds escaping my throat as he explored my body. His touches were both punishment and pleasure, drawing shudders from me that I thought he felt reverberating through his own body.

    My nightgown had ridden up, his hands discovering more of mine with each caress. We were both lost in sensation, rational thought receding with each passing second...

    Three years ago, to fulfill the wish of his grandmother, I was forced to marry Derek Wells, the second son of the family that had adopted me for ten years. He didn't love me, but I had secretly loved him all along.

    Now, the three-year contractual marriage is about to end, but I feel that some kind of sentiment has developed between Derek and me that neither of us is willing to admit. I'm not sure if my feelings are right, but I know that we can't resist each other physically...

    “I am done chasing you.”
    Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
