Alex's daughter, Tiffany didn't survive the disease... Wife and second daughter, Tiarra also died right before his eyes. His friends, his comrades, all perished!

It's only a dream!" he told himself again.

This has always been Alex's nightmare. Today, the doomsday will restart, it will all begin again from here.

31st December. Doomsday.

10:00

Alex gathered everyone in the field. There are more than 10.000 people. Every hour more people flow in to seek shelter at this base. Alex starts addressing the crowd.

"Today is the day. The people who stay in this base are the ones who believe that the doomsday WILL come. You all know what to expect. This will be a difficult day for all of us... within a few hours, the plague will start. My message to all of you is to use the time remaining wisely.I remind you to NOT make any trouble. For the safety of this community, any offense will be handled seriously. If you are not willing to abide by this community rule, you are free to leave. The medical center has prepared one thousand hazmat suits. I personally think it will not work. Me and my family, we won't need it. However, if you'd like to try, you can pick a lottery chance for the suit. The medical team will also do their best to make things easier for those who caught the disease later on. Fear not... life is a journey everyone has a part in it."

Alex assigns Aria and Jerry in charge of security as he trusts them both and he knew they won't be infected by the disease. They will also be able to control the soldier and the gangs. Alex's order was simple, give freedom to everyone, whilst keeping the peace in the community. It is a sensitive time, people tend to do stupid things. Everything will be settled by nightfall.

After Alex give out the announcement, he returned to his family. His wife, two daughters Tiffany and Tiarra, the brothers, Hendrik & Jimmy, his father, Devita's parents, sister Vili and brother Victor.They gathered for family lunch, which would be their last meal together.

The sky suddenly changed, the wind, the thunder, and the blue lighting. However, these things don't bother Alex. His main concern was immediately shifted towards Tiffany!

Alex took his Devita and the girls to a private room. Half an hour later, just like in his previous life Tiffany's eyes turned red...

"Daddy, What happened daddy? why are you looking at me like that?"

Devita's heart beats faster... it seems that everything Alex said was coming true. Alex waited a few more minutes to make sure both Devita and Tiarra weren't affected by the disease.

It seems that everything is the same as in his previous life, it's not random or even contagious. There are just people who were born immune while others are not. Alex currently is looking at Devita's eyes waiting for a confirmation.

"Do it!" she said.

Alex took out the shiny pill from his storage ring. It's the pill created by the Amulet of the Sun.

Alex's heart races, there is one thing that is still on his mind. This pill was made from a medium grade unique artifact. She might not be strong enough to consume it. As a resolve, before the pill, Alex gave one of the spirit stone to Tiffany. After she swallowed the spirit stone, Alex can immediately sense a surge of energy flowing into her.

Alex then gave her the shiny pill.

Suddenly her temperature spikes, her body was burning up. Alex can tell the pill was still too strong for her.Without much thinking, he gave her 5 more spirit stones. They somehow were able to cool her body down, then she passed out.

The effect of the stone would not be visible until after a few hours. Alex left Tiffany to rest. He decided to check the condition of his other family members. He can't help but feeling anxious...

Together Alex and Devita walk out of the room. The air was thick.

They found Devita's sister Vili, sobbing uncontrollably,

both her mom and Dad's eyes have turn red...

Her brother Victor and girlfriend were also infected.

Devita can no longer hold back her tears.

Alex then saw on the other side of the room.

His Father

His brothers, Jimmy...

Even Hendrik...

"..."

Alex felt gutted. Both his father and brothers.. god really is cruel!

"AAARRGGGGHHHH"

What's the point of all this reincarnation? What's the point with all the preparations...

Even Jimmy's family, not even one were spared...

They were all in despair...

Jimmy said, "What does all this mean?" He knows the answer, Alex already told him in detail before, but fear and hopelessness turn all logic to denial... he just wanted to hear a confirmation.

"I am sorry brother...., you got infected, I'm afraid you only have a few hours left. I am so sorry"

Hendrik: "I don't care about me, but what about father... is there really no other way?"

Alex just shakes his head, he can't tell them about the pill... he only has one anyway.. what good would tell them about the pill do right now?!

Alex walks closer to his father, he drops down to his knees in front of him... "Father forgive this useless son of yours..." Alex cried thinking about what his father has done for him all of those years.

"Don't worry about me, doomsday or not, my life won't last much longer, What about my granddaughters?"

"They are fine father.."

"That's good, just do what you have to do.. don't mind us you have a lot of responsibility right now."

Alex walks out of the place... it is currently raining hard in Bali. 10.000 people in this base facing the same situation. The wailing and crying currently being overcast by the pouring rain.

Cindy and Theo walk towards him.. they seem fine. Alex let out a slight sigh of relief... He then instructs Theo to hold a service in one of the empty warehouses, Cindy will help spread the news.

Alex walked to the barracks. The army, the gang and the navy were all there. Jerry and Aria stood with them. The ones who weren't affected by the disease were already out to secure public safety. The rest are the ones who were affected by the disease.

Commander Tom the captain of the destroyer. There were 38 navies who got affected.

Jacko and Vicky, Black snake gang leaders and 152 of the gang members.

Lieutenant Harris, Mike, Budi, Sergeant Mayhem and 121 Deathsquad soldiers.

Surprisingly most of this soldier seems to be able to accept the situation. They have gone through many life and death situations before. The gang felt depressed but they were always the world outcast, they don't have much expectation for the future.There are a total of 311 men in this room out of the 580. Considering 80% is the average of people contracting disease in his previous life, this number seems very fortunate.Probably there is a connection between people who had pushed their body and mind to the limit with their immunity to the disease. Although less got affected, each of these men is a fighter... for them to die by a disease is suffocating. Alex gives a final salute to all of these men.

It is upsetting...

Next, Alex went to check on his workers. Everywhere all the same.. more red eyes, Eka his project manager... Rina his HR psychologist, someone whose skill he really needed in such predicament ...they too...

"..."

It's Nina...

His most trusted manager and friend...

"No.., not you too Nina" Alex has known her for a long time... he has gotten really dependant upon her.

Tears streaming down her face..."I really don't want to die, I still want to help you some more.. there's so much to do...,"

Alex tried to console her.. a moment later she seems to force herself up.

"I should hand over all the data to someone else..." with a forced smile she said."You've been a good friend Alex, take care.." with those last words she walks away...

To Alex, it felt like he just lost another part of his life.

Alex drops by to the lab. Doctor Andi was also infected. As expected, the hazmat suit didn't work. Doctor Rachel was busy handing out sedatives to help relieve the pain, many people need it.

Alex returns to his daughter to check on her condition... Devita sat by her bedside... Apparently, the situation is still not getting better.. either the pill was too strong for her tiny frame or the disease was affecting it, her physique simply could not keep up...The thought crossed his mind, perhaps it was because she's too young.. had he given the pill to someone else, his brother or father, would it actually work..? But looking at his daughter lying there motionless, he knew he can't live with himself if he didn't take the chance and let her die for the second time...

When Tiffany finally came to, she wasn't well, her body was weak. The disease has progressed into its final state.

"Daddy you're here?" "I am sorry I'm sick daddy.."

"don't worry about me daddy"

These words crush Alex's heart to pieces.

He didn't think much and scrambled out all of his remaining spirit stones. There are only 11 left. He made Devita take one and give the last 10 to Tiffany. By now Tiffany took a total of 16 stones. It is the maximum that a human can take to reach the peak of the mortal realm. Not to mention she's only 12 years old, he can't imagine what side effect would 16 spirit stone do to her body, Alex really can't think anymore, at least at the moment her body has stabilized. She hung on through the critical phase of the disease. Although Alex is anxious to see the effect of the last 10 stones, it would need at least 12 hours. There is nothing else Alex can do but to sit and wait.

The rain finally stopped. "It's time!"

Everyone who got the disease were on their last hour, they are mostly already incapacitated.Alex says his farewell to each of them...

In the next hour, everyone worked together to move the bodies into a large pit that was already prepared outside the base. A simple service was held and then the bodies were burnt together. The flame raised ten meters high. It was a crude funeral, but time is of the essence. Only 2872 of the ten thousand people survived.

The families, The fighters, The workers...

"There is no time to mourn the lost, the operation needs to start now!"
