After all my classes ended, I made my way back to my dorm room.

I gave Tristan a quick call so that he can be present when I tell the group about the oncoming apocalypse.

Tristan and the group arrived around the same time as each other.

"Did my brother call you here?" James asked.

"Yes, Young Master James," Tristan said respectfully, giving James a bow.

Tristan only showed respect to me, Kyle and James. He did so ever since he started working for us when Tristan was 13 years old, while me and Kyle were only 12 years old. It always astonished me that Tristan was never fired before due to him disrespecting my other family members.

The group looked at me with imploring gazes but I just gestured to them to sit down. After making sure I got their full attention, I said with a serious expression, "In about three weeks, the end of the world is going to happen. Specifically, a zombie apocalypse."

Everyone's eyes widened in shock and confusion, except for Tristian who remained calm as he already knew this.

I continued, "August 31st, 2078 is known as the First Awakening. During this day, it will rain black rain. This black rain is the signal that the end is near. 12 hours later, many will develop a fever. After another 12 hours which is a total of 24 hours, on September 1st, 2078 those who gain a fever will either turn into zombies or obtain an ability. About 65 percent of the population will come down with fevers. Among the population who have a fever, there is a 30 percent chance of gaining an ability and a 70 percent chance you will turn into a zombie. Those who don't have a fever are regular humans and thus will not turn into zombies or awaken their ability."

The group stayed quiet for a full minute. I could feel sweat starting to accumulating on my palms.

Did they not believe me?

The group glanced at each other and after coming to an agreement, James said, "We believe you."

"You...you guys believe me?" I asked in disbelief.

I was in shock. How could they believe so much in me? I didn't even tell them I was reincarnated!

I decided from this point on that Tristan would be the only one to know this huge secret. I was planning on telling Kyle and James but the less people who know my secret, the better. Even though I wanted to tell them so badly, I will not.

I trust Tristan just as I trust Kyle and James but I soon realized that it was a mistake to tell Tristan. I was caught up in the moment that I had indeed gone back in time. If I would have stopped to think about to what extent telling Tristan that I was reincarnated, I would have never told him. This would just cause Tristan to be in more danger. My last dying wish in my previous life was to get revenge on those who wronged me and to protect those who helped me.

It seems like my reincarnation was all for naught if I was just putting Tristian in danger by telling him this. Who knows what might happen to the others if they knew. I was not willing to risk it.

I would only tell those who I trust deeply that I was reincarnated when I had enough power to project them all.

The group nodded.
