Title: Ashes of the End Summary: The year is 2045, and the world is in ruins. Humanity has fallen. The last cities have crumbled. All governments, nations, and armies are long gone. The few who once stood against the endless tide of the undead have perished — turned into mindless monsters or torn apart by the very people they once fought beside. Now, only one man remains. Ashu, an S-Class Hunter, fights alone in the middle of a desolate battlefield, surrounded by a sea of zombies. His once vibrant team — his brothers and sisters in arms — have all been lost along the way. Betrayals, failed missions, impossible odds... one by one, they fell. Some to the enemy. Some to their own greed. And some... even by his own hand when no other choice remained. Ashu wields Void Powers — abilities so rare and destructive they bend the very laws of space itself. He can open temporary black holes, manipulate spatial voids, and warp the battlefield. Even now, surrounded and bleeding, his powers still make him a force to be reckoned with. But the end is near. As he fights off another wave of grotesque, mutated zombies, an overwhelming presence arrives — an SSS-Class Zombie, once human but now a monster of pure devastation. The battle is brutal. Even with all his power, Ashu is outmatched. His body is broken. The black hole he creates devours hundreds, but the SSS-class is relentless. With a final blow, Ashu falls. As he lies dying on the frozen ground of January 1st, 2045, Ashu doesn''''t think about his death. He thinks about his regrets. He thinks of the people he couldn’t save. The decisions he made too late. The paths he didn’t walk. The betrayals he didn’t see coming — including the one from the person he once loved and trusted most. Despite all his strength, he had missed many chances to grow stronger, to prepare better, to lead more wisely. His final wish isn’t for revenge. It’s for another chance. "If only I could go back... just once. I’d save them. I’d do everything differently." And then, darkness. But fate, or perhaps the very Void he commands, answers. Ashu wakes up — gasping, alive, and confused. He finds himself lying in his old apartment, the sunlight warm on his face. The world is untouched, still alive. The date? 1st December, 2019. Exactly one month before the outbreak begins. At first, he believes it’s a dream, or perhaps the final hallucination of a dying man. But the warmth on his skin, the sound of people bustling outside, the feel of his old body... it''''s all real. He’s back. Twenty-five years in the past. Before everything ended. Armed with knowledge from the future, memories of every betrayal, and the power of the Void that has mysteriously reincarnated with him, Ashu now has a chance to rewrite history. But it won’t be easy. He must navigate a world that doesn’t believe in monsters yet. He must rebuild his team — or make new allies altogether — and this time, learn who to trust. He must grow stronger, faster than he did before. He must seize the opportunities he once ignored. Most of all, he must prepare the world for what’s coming — a zombie apocalypse that will begin in silence but end in screams. And maybe, just maybe… He can save those he lost. Maybe this time, the world won’t burn.
