Day 168 since the incident. As always, I heard the sound of someone collapsing beside me today, and once again, I met my death at the hands of mutant zombies. But I came back to life. “…Why?” Clinging to a sliver of hope, I even threw myself into a den of zombies, but it was all pointless. The suspicion that this might be a…-

CTLI — Chapter 14
The pain was so intense, I couldn’t even make a sound. I wanted to say I was fine, that I’d come back—but only the sound of air wheezing from my mouth came out. The monsters that had just attacked us turned away, sniffing in the corners of the room as if they couldn’t see us anymore. ‘It’s okay. I’m here.’ Choi Dohyun’s whisper was steady. He seemed a little surprised, but showed no fear or sorrow. I nodded and turned my gaze. In that short time, Yoon Seohwa had burst into tears and…-

CTLI — Chapter 13
I quickly shot the heads of the ones rushing in blindly. The others seemed to hang back, wary, as if they were studying me. At least ten to fifteen mutants. The government would send a full special forces team if there were even five. That meant it wasn’t something one person could normally handle. But that’s for normal people. I should be able to manage this much on my own. I exhaled and holstered my pistol. It wasn’t because of the whole “coming back from the dead” thing. No—if I’d…-

3. Train Station The weather wasn’t good. Though the heavy rain had stopped, the sky was still blanketed in dark clouds. I hoped it wouldn’t rain again until we at least reached the train station—but there was no way to check the forecast anymore. “It’s a bit chilly outside. You should wear something warmer.” Maybe it was because our last stop had been so comfortable, but Choi Dohyun acted like he was out on a picnic. Or more accurately, like I was a child he had to fuss over. He…-

CTLI — Chapter 11
With a wet slicing sound, the zombie’s head was fully severed. At least the rot made it easier. I tossed the lolling head roughly into a corner. Its twitching body sagged limply. “Phew…” If only the water would stop, I could climb up and check the others. I felt relieved that time hadn’t reversed. At least that meant Choi Dohyun hadn’t died while I was gone. …What? I whipped my head around. The zombie I’d thrown into the corner—its mouth was moving again. It wasn’t…-

CTLI — Chapter 10
I sat quietly by the door, watching Choi Dohyun and Yoon Seo Hwa. The two of them were chatting and laughing like old friends. So sociable, I thought, and turned my gaze to the white A4 paper on the desk. That sheet—wasn’t it always left behind whenever we moved from place to place? “…” I turned my eyes away. Lately, I’d been feeling like I wasn’t thinking clearly. Like I’d turned into an animal, acting purely on instinct. The bitterness in my mouth lingered. I didn’t even know why…-

2. Underground Sewer ※ Due to the nature of the genre involving a virtual game, certain standard orthography and phrasing have been intentionally omitted or altered to enhance presentation and immersion. Please keep this in mind when reading. The ground was slippery, and the further we went, the higher the water level rose. The woman running ahead moved with practiced steps, picking up speed, and Choi Dohyun and I were running after her as fast as we could. From behind came a hacking,…-

CTLI — Chapter 8
Seeing the moss clinging to the walls, the sticky black residue, and the bugs crawling along the surfaces, I quickened my pace. The deeper we went, the louder the sound of dripping water echoed around us. The light from outside was growing fainter, and I moved forward relying solely on the flashlight’s beam. Before I could even complain about the strain of bending over, I climbed a small ladder attached to the wall to go up. “It’s bigger than I expected.” Choi Dohyun looked around as he…-

CTLI — Chapter 7
The house we eventually found was in surprisingly good shape. Clean and well-maintained—someone could’ve been living there even now and I’d believe it. We brushed off the dust and sat down on the sofa. “…Did it hurt a lot?” I asked carefully, watching Choi Dohyun stretch and sprawl out. I could still clearly see his leg and body bursting apart from just a light blow, like crushing a bug. He looked puzzled, like he didn’t understand the question. But then, catching the seriousness in…-

CTLI — Chapter 6
Bang! Between the monster’s screech and the gunfire, it felt like I was underwater, sound dulled all around me. But I was lucky enough to see sparks fly from its back as it thrashed in pain. “It’s the back. Aim for the back—!” “Get inside the guard post first!” The guard post? Did he not see that building just get demolished? I gaped in disbelief, but the words never made it out. The wounded creature writhed violently, then whipped its long tail directly at me and Choi Dohyun.…-
