Six years before the end of the world, Esme is given a second chance. In her first life, she survived the apocalypse only to be betrayed by the people she trusted most. Sold to ruthless debt collectors by the man who claimed to love her, she endured months of unimaginable abuse. Pregnant, beaten, and stripped of everything she held dear, she lost both her child and her faith in humanity. Somehow, she escaped-only to find herself abandoned once again when the survivor base she had risked everything to protect left her as bait for an endless zombie horde. Broken, bleeding, and with only a single hand grenade remaining, Esme makes one final choice. If she is going to die... Then everyone who betrayed her will die with her. Her last act tears open the gates of the fortress, unleashing the undead upon those who sacrificed her without remorse. She expects death. Instead, she wakes up six years before the apocalypse. This time, Esme refuses to be a victim. Armed with memories of the future, awakened abilities she shouldn't possess, and the knowledge of where humanity's greatest treasures lie hidden, she begins preparing for the coming end. She secretly builds a business empire, fortifies safe havens across the country, hunts ancient artifacts, and trains relentlessly while hiding her identity as the heiress to one of the nation's most powerful families. But Esme isn't the only one who remembers. Five other regressors have returned to rewrite history-three are the comrades who once fought beside her until the world's final days, while two are enemies who will stop at nothing to shape the future for their own ambitions. As old betrayals resurface and new alliances are forged, Esme must decide how far she's willing to go for revenge... and whether changing the future is enough to save the people she loves. Because this time, the apocalypse won't be the beginning of her nightmare. It will be the battlefield she's spent six years preparing for.
