Jack watched the world end once. He knows the exact hour it starts, the exact chain of failures nobody can stop, and the exact moment when surviving stops being enough. He spent ten years inside the System the first time. Learned every crack in it. Paid for that knowledge in ways that don't wash off. Now he's back at the beginning, thirty-six hours before the first wave hits, with one thing nobody else has: he knows which rules bend and which ones break people. The System doesn't care that he's been here before. It will enforce its terms regardless. This time, Jack intends to enforce his. _________________________________________ New drops, Monday-Friday. No filler.
