Even if you've never watched The Walking Dead, you can still enjoy this story! 【Realistic Apocalypse + The Walking Dead Setting + Independent Protagonist】 【Base Building + Survival + Adventure | No Romance】 After transmigrating into the world of The Walking Dead, she becomes the younger sister of Leah from the Reapers-someone who was supposed to die before even appearing in the story. Calista seems to have drawn the worst possible script... a doomed background character. But that's fine. The situation is still salvageable. The first thing she does after waking up? Cling to the Reapers and secure their protection. While Rick's group is still struggling with questions of morality and humanity, Calista is already rebuilding order through sheer force. The Governor dares to provoke her? Bombard him. The Whisperers? Erase them. The Commonwealth and CRM? Move aside. Rick stares at his shabby camp in confusion. "Why is everyone running to her side?" Negan flicks the blood off Lucille as the gates of Rock Fortress slowly open behind him. "Damn... because following her means you actually thrive." Starting with the Reapers as her foundation, Calista rises from a winery stronghold to become a ruler of the apocalypse. From the United States... all the way to Europe. The original plot? Just a reference. From today onward, my territory will define the order of the new world. 【The protagonist is not a saint. She won't follow or assist Rick's group blindly. Their paths will cross, but she will build her own empire.】 (No system. Just the realistic rise of an ordinary person in the apocalypse.)

"What about me? I have feelings too, you know?" Words can mean a lot to someone, especially when they are repeated. They make you question how you think, how you operate, and most of all, how you see yourself. It makes you wonder how you fit in to this puzzle of the world, and it makes you second guess everything. A single word, can really change how everything revolves around you, when you have nobody to fall back on. At 16 years of age, Thalia has never truly understood what it feels like to be included. Inclusion is not something that people did and immediately thought of her. People looked at her, and decided to walk around her, or to purposely go out of their way to not pick her. Even teachers turned a blind eye on the girl that was truly suffering. People never understood the full weight of their words. Actions were something you could dismiss, but it was the words that hit their target, every time. They hit her in the school hallways, and they took full force when she walked in through the front door of her house. It was a house, something with four walls and people in it, but never a home. Nothing that said people of a family lived there. Those people that made a family, had one of their own. They had a family, that did not extend to the young girl that was their step-sister. They made it clear, they were step-siblings, and not siblings. Growing up, it became 16 against 1. Older sisters are supposed to share their clothes with their younger sisters and prepare them for what was awaiting for them. Older brothers were supposed to protect the younger ones and tease them from time to time. But these people, simply preferred to hold the title, rather than to act. Only one day, that would all change. It would all change, but was it for the better? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Started: 3.10.22 Revised: 17.02.26 Finished:

I never would wish anyone to lose their mate by rejection nor death. I never would wish this on my greatest enemy or my best friend. I never would wish this on anyone because I knew what it felt like to lose someone that should mean the world to a person. I knew what it was like to survive without a mate, and I couldn't help but pray that no one had to face it inside my pack. I couldn't help but pray to the Goddess for everyone to find the happiness that I had deserved but never had gotten. Unfortunately, my prayers weren't answered when the love of my life, my best friend, and my Alpha was rejected by his mate. And, as I watched as he struggled, I couldn't help but wonder as to who would think to reject an Alpha that deserves the world for putting up with my shit. And, I couldn't help but wonder if he deserves to be called an Alpha without his Luna. _______________________________________ NOTE: IF YOU READ THIS BOOK ON ANY OTHER APP BESIDES WATTPAD THEN IT IS COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT.

I was born with a purpose, a purpose to serve, and to protect. I was born to be a healer and a helper. I was someone that a group of people knew a long time ago, having the same features as the one that came before me. I was a reincarnation to a Champion, a female born from two pure Alphas and descended from the Original Ten. I was the reincarnation of Cassandra Kristen, and I had so much to live up to and pray that I could be the best that I had to be. _______________________________________ NOTE: IF YOU READ THIS BOOK ON ANY OTHER APP BESIDES WATTPAD THEN IT IS COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT.
