<p>The Apocalypse has come to Earth. Electricity and chemistry have failed us, the stars have been blotted out from the sky, 6 mind-altering moons orbit the world, and indestructible crystals summon monsters from nothing. Amidst it all, a hapless scientist who first sounded the alarm perishes.</p> <p>But all is not lost.</p> <p>Their soul, adrift from most of its memories in life, enters a strange cycle of reincarnation. Every new life is a new chance to grow, to learn, and above all else, to kill monsters. For every time they die, a strange system grants their next incarnation elemental affinities based on the monsters they killed in life. Some incarnations use these gifts wisely. Others squander them. And still others… find brand new pathways forward, not only for themselves, but the shattered world that gave birth to humanity.</p> <p>But even with all the courage, ingenuity, and strength that these interconnected souls can provide, will that be enough to save the world? Or are we condemned to forever languish in the dark? After all…</p> <p>The Apocalypse was just beginning.</p> <p>(An episodic pseudo-anthology with a global scope, soft LitRPG mechanics, and an elemental magic system with endless possibility.)</p> <p>This story is a participant in the April 2024 Writathon.</p>
