My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 395

Recognizing that Rose was in a state of confusion, believing she had transformed into a zombie and subsequently killed, Kisha smiled gently at her.

She nodded in acknowledgment of Rose’s thoughts before offering her own explanation.

"Yes, you didn’t die. In fact, you’ve awakened your abilities after being bitten." Kisha placed her hand on Rose’s shoulder, giving it a reassuring pat before continuing, "You did an amazing job fighting off the virus that invaded your system, turning a dire situation into an opportunity to grow stronger."

Rose’s eyes widened at Kisha’s words. Her lips quivered as her eyes reddened, tears threatening to spill.

She would be lying if she said she hadn’t been terrified when she realized she’d been bitten, thinking it was the end for her.

But something inside her refused to accept such a pathetic fate. She gritted her teeth, determined to fight until the very end.

Even after Sparrow defeated the evolved zombie, Rose clung to consciousness, but when she could no longer hold on, she thought she’d lost.

Yet, her body and willpower had fought alongside her, refusing to give in. Now, hearing she had awakened an ability, she felt as if the whole ordeal had been a blessing in disguise.

A wave of mixed emotions overtook her, and she found herself both laughing and crying at once.

She used both hands to wipe away the tears streaming down her face, relentless like waterfalls.

Kisha and Duke stood by, giving Rose the space she needed to process everything that had happened.

They understood that she had likely been bottling up her fears and a whirlwind of emotions, shoving them deep into her heart as she grappled with the reality of her supposed untimely death.

It took Rose quite a while to settle down, and even then, she was still hiccupping.

It seemed that her tears had drained her of energy, or perhaps her body was simply exhausted from being in survival mode for so long.

As it worked to process the virus and transform it into the spiritual energy now coursing through her, her stomach let out a loud growl that echoed across the entire flower field.

Kisha stifled a laugh but quickly reminded herself that she had been in a similar state just moments before.

With a small smile, she crossed her legs and sat in front of Rose. She pulled out the food she had shared with Duke earlier from her inventory and prepared a generous portion for her.

"Here you go," Kisha said, handing Rose the large bowl along with a bottle of orange juice.

Rose smiled gratefully at Kisha, her hunger more intense than she had ever experienced. She felt as if she could devour an entire cow.

As Rose eagerly dug into the food, Kisha returned Duke’s meal to him and held her own in her hands. Instead of taking a bite, she watched Rose intently.

Lost in her feast, Rose sensed Kisha’s gaze but paid it little mind.

It was as if Kisha were staring at her yet somehow not, and Rose dismissed the feeling entirely, focusing solely on satisfying her ravenous appetite.

As usual, Kisha was utilizing her gift to check Rose’s status window, wondering if it would finally work or if it would still display an error while concealing all her stats.
