00:02The Alpha Damien and I came across two systems by accident.
00:06One could make things 100 times bigger.
00:10The other could make things 100 times smaller.
00:14He chose the compression system.
00:16I always got amplification system.
00:18Three days later, the eternal thunderstorm aired.
00:21Everyone was trapped and survival resources became scarce.
00:25I used the amplification system to stretch what little we had, but the cost is my wolf bone sacrifice.
00:34When the storms cleared, Damien threw me off the pack tower to my death.
00:39If you hadn't stolen my amplification system, I could have used it to save my true mate Sarah's pack.
00:45Riven, you're just too selfish.
00:48Damien's true mate, Sarah, she begged me to amplify resources for her pack, but I refused.
00:54I knew wolves were dangerous in the apocalypse.
00:58Without my help, Sarah's pack starved to death.
01:01I survived the storms, yet died at the hands of Alpha Damien.
01:06It's so pathetic.
01:08When I opened my eyes again, I heard a voice.
01:11Please select your systems.
01:13Why did the words in this scene feel so familiar?
01:16I want the amplification system.
01:18Confirmed. System bound to you.
01:20I understood.
01:21I had reincarnated and was back to the day we chose.
01:25Since you loved your true mate more than your wolf, fine.
01:29This time, I will bless you.
01:31Then I'll take the compression system.
01:33Confirmed.
01:34System bond to you.
01:36Damien tested his new system immediately.
01:38He amplified a pack ration container by a factor of 100.
01:42It's real!
01:44The amplification system is mine!
01:47The amplification system is mine now.
01:50Jealous?
01:51I can amplify anything I want.
01:53Your compression system sounds useless.
01:55I could see he was testing me.
01:57What does it matter?
01:58Take what you like.
01:59I'm fine either way.
02:00He saw him so calm the next second he relaxed and smiled.
02:04Damien ran out.
02:05Knocked on Sarah's chamber door.
02:06Knocked on.
02:09Knocked on.
02:09Damien?
02:10What are you doing here?
02:11Sarah, come inside.
02:12Let's talk.
02:13As soon as her door shut, I checked my communicator for the date.
02:16There are only three days before the flood starts.
02:19It's still time.
02:20I drove to the nearest pack supply depot and cleared it out.
02:23High energy protein rations.
02:25Stabilizer packs.
02:27Anti-lightning insulation gear.
02:29Bedding.
02:29Basic supplies.
02:31I also bought grain stores, vegetable seeds, and a batch of young hens.
02:35I picked up a full set of furniture from the pack goods district.
02:38I spent until every pack credit was gone.
02:41Damien, meanwhile, wasn't preparing anything.
02:44He knew the eternal thunderstorm were coming and didn't flinch.
02:48He trusted his amplification system.
02:50He wasn't nervous and even looking forward to the disaster.
02:53He planned to emerge as Sarah's savior, make her feel the pull and accept the mate bond.
02:58That evening, Damien came back to the block glowing.
03:01If I saved Sarah's pack, it was only for you.
03:05Who cares?
03:06I ignored him.
03:07Kept ordering supplies on my communicator.
03:09He had already killed me once.
03:11It wouldn't happen again.
03:13Do you have any pack credits left?
03:15Lend me some.
03:16I want to get supplies.
03:17No.
03:18I just bought a storage unit.
03:20Spent everything.
03:21Why would you buy a storage unit?
03:23I wanted a new one.
03:24Problem?
03:25Why the reaction?
03:27Nothing, nothing.
03:28Just curious.
03:29Oh, by the way, those stabilizer packs in your chamber?
03:32I gave them to the lone wolves in the block.
03:34They're struggling.
03:35You don't mind, right?
03:35I had been good to him.
03:37I bled to let his pack allowance, but then he meets Sarah across the hall.
03:42As soon as he saw her again, he became obsessed.
03:46Even during the storm era, when I refused to help Sarah's pack, Damien had snuck out
03:52a third of our supplies.
03:53I couldn't stop him.
03:54I just locked the chamber door to protect what was left.
03:57But in his eyes, I mattered less than a wolf who didn't care about him.
04:02I looked at him with total disappointment.
04:05It's fine.
04:06He laughed and kissed my head.
04:11You're the best.
04:12I knew you wouldn't be upset over something small.
04:15I pushed his chest away.
04:16I'm tired.
04:16Going to sleep.
04:18You should too.
04:18I went into my room and started my secret plan.
04:21I had also ordered a lightning harvesting generator.
04:26The storms would power it indefinitely.
04:29I had prepared everything I needed to survive.
04:33Now I just had to.
04:34For the storm.
04:36Damien had the amplification system and felt safe.
04:39He bought a few hundred credits worth of rations with his own money.
04:43Locked them in his chamber.
04:45I abandoned the main chamber I had bought.
04:47I had picked a different place.
04:49A hidden shifting space behind my sleeping quarters.
04:52The entrance was controlled by my communicator only.
04:56For a compressed version of me, it was a fortress.
04:59I had also driven to the wild territory beyond pack borders.
05:03And used the compression system on a plot of land.
05:06I could use that land and the seeds to grow my own food.
05:10Self-sufficient.
05:11I compressed several trees and brought them back.
05:14The supplies and furniture arrived.
05:17One day left before the storms.
05:19I had the delivery sent to an old pack outpost I used to live in.
05:23Abandoned territory.
05:24No wolves around.
05:26The outpost was stacked with furniture, appliances, rations and gear.
05:30When no one was watching, I compressed everything.
05:33I hesitated.
05:34Then compressed the outpost structure itself and took it with me.
05:38Bold and worn.
05:39But livable after some work.
05:41Under cover of night, I drove back and loaded everything into the shifting space.
05:45The shifting space already had an air filtration system.
05:48I could stay for years without worrying about breathable air.
05:51Five containers of clean water I left uncompressed.
05:55Poured them into a collection tank.
05:57Lighting was installed.
05:58Controlled through my communicator.
06:00I crouched in the center of the space and mapped out every corner.
06:03Then I tested the lightning harvesting generator.
06:06It hummed, but didn't spin.
06:08I cracked it open and fixed it with my mini toolkit.
06:13The fan turned.
06:14My communicator began to charge.
06:17Late in the night, my communicator pinged.
06:19I pulled up the camera feed.
06:21Damien was tiptoeing into my room holding a small blade.
06:25He went through everything.
06:27Bookshelves, drawers.
06:29She's hiding something.
06:30Extra rations maybe.
06:32Why does she get a storage unit and I get nothing?
06:35Hurry.
06:35Don't get caught.
06:36Damien tore through the room and found nothing.
06:39Kicked the cabinet in frustration.
06:41Stormed out.
06:42I watched the feed, calm.
06:44Everything important was already in the shifting space.
06:47By morning, I was building a small irrigation system.
06:49Then I spread the seeds.
06:51Greens, root vegetables, climbing vines.
06:54Covered them lightly with soil.
06:56Watered each one.
06:57Midday, I checked the feed outside Sarah's chamber.
07:00You barely amplified anything.
07:02We have elders and pups in this pack.
07:04How many days does this last?
07:05Bring out everything from your chamber and amplify it or don't come back.
07:08Those are my emergency ranchians.
07:10If I amplify them all, what's left for us?
07:13Listen to her.
07:15Get us through this.
07:16When things settle, I'll get you more than what you had before.
07:19More than anything she had in that storage unit.
07:21I closed the feed and loosened the soil around the new seeds.
07:25Clear-headed.
07:26Damien had been sweet-talked again.
07:28He never learned.
07:29I built storage containers from compressed ceramic fragments.
07:33Then sealed the ration packs in vacuum pouches and shelved them in the dry section.
07:37Outside, the first distant rumble rolled through the territory.
07:42The sky had turned gray and low.
07:44The storm era was about to begin.
07:47My small world was ready.
07:50After a full night of work, the shifting space had become a small farm.
07:54Tiny hens, barely audible, buried their heads in the grass hunting insects.
07:59Beyond the farm stood my small outpost structure, fully equipped.
08:03I could finally breathe.
08:05I waited for the storm era to begin.
08:08In the final hours, Damien ran to Sarah's chamber again.
08:11Sarah's pack didn't seem to like him.
08:13Damien didn't care.
08:14He pushed into Sarah's quarters.
08:16That wolf from across the hall has no shame.
08:19Full grown and still throwing himself into my daughter's quarters every day.
08:23Sounds like he's marked her in his head already.
08:25You might have a son-in-law soon.
08:26Please, you don't know the half of it.
08:29No rank in the pack.
08:30No position.
08:31Grown adult living off someone else's credit.
08:33That bottom rank wolf wants to bond with my daughter?
08:36Not a chance.
08:37My Sarah is strong, ranked, and respected.
08:39Way out of his league.
08:41But isn't that-
08:41One hour before the storms, I called Damien.
08:47Hey, what's wrong?
08:49Pack duties ran over.
08:50I'm staying late.
08:50Not coming back tonight.
08:52Fine.
08:52I'll eat alone tonight.
08:54Hanging up.
08:54I knew he wouldn't warn me.
08:56I called to throw him off.
08:58I used my communicator to open the shifting space.
09:01Stepped inside.
09:03Sealed the door.
09:03I activated the compression system.
09:06Not on objects this time.
09:08On myself.
09:09The shifting space stretched wide around me.
09:12I looked at the land.
09:13The trees.
09:14The hens.
09:15The outpost.
09:16I felt full.
09:18The storm era couldn't touch me now.
09:20While Damien had been out, I had installed hidden monitoring sensors in the chamber and the hall.
09:25I could see everything through my communicator.
09:28The sensors were high grade.
09:30Clear image.
09:31Clear audio.
09:32Picked up everything.
09:33I slipped my communicator into my pocket.
09:35Picked up the small hoe.
09:36And started working the soil.
09:38Turned the earth.
09:39Spread seeds.
09:41Added nutrients.
09:42Watered each section.
09:43The hens clustered at my feet.
09:45Pecking.
09:46I waved them off.
09:47Opened a feed bag and scattered it.
09:49My communicator feed showed the storms had begun.
09:51Nobody in the territory had realized yet that they wouldn't stop.
09:55Pack members were posting on the shared network.
09:58The lightning is too bad to move around.
10:00I was cut off from the territory now.
10:03My only connection to the outside was my communicator, my device, and my reader tablet.
10:08Days passed.
10:09The storms didn't stop.
10:11I spent my days farming, planting, feeding the hens.
10:15The only problem was, the hens kept eating my seedlings.
10:19I opened the feed out of boredom.
10:21Damien had brought Sarah into my chamber.
10:23They sat in the main room.
10:25Damien was...
10:26Sarah.
10:27Does your pack have any supplies left?
10:28Not much.
10:29I should have stocked more.
10:31The lower floors are flooded with renafalf.
10:33I can't get out.
10:34Do you have anything?
10:35Can you share?
10:36My pack has elders and a young she-wolf.
10:39What we have isn't enough.
10:40Damien punched Sarah's shoulder lightly.
10:42Drew little circles on her arm.
10:44Damien leaned close to Sarah.
10:46Whispered.
10:48That's real?
10:49That exists?
10:50Sarah jumped to her feet.
10:52Of course.
10:53Watch.
10:54Damien activated the amplification system.
10:57A single ration pack on the table ballooned instantly.
11:00Heavy against the surface.
11:02Sarah's expression shifted from disbelief to something brighter.
11:06Damien, thank the moon you're here.
11:08Amplify everything we have!
11:09Of course.
11:10Sarah, but I have one small request.
11:13You know I feel the pull.
11:14You've always known.
11:15If I can save your pack, can you accept the bond?
11:18Damien covered his eyes.
11:20Didn't see the look that crossed Sarah's face.
11:22Don't be ridiculous.
11:24You've always been part of my pack in my heart.
11:26We grew up together.
11:27Of course I feel it.
11:29When the storms clear, I'll mark you properly.
11:33I knew it.
11:34I always knew you felt the pull too.
11:36And her.
11:37What about Riven?
11:38She said she had pack duties.
11:40With the storms this bad, she's probably dead in the floods by now.
11:44I watched the feed.
11:45Felt a strange mix of things.
11:47How did I ever bond with someone this foolish?
11:49I went back to the outpost and cooked a hot meal.
11:52Pulled a drink from the cold unit.
11:54Sat down and enjoyed it.
11:56I took a photo and posted it to the pack network.
11:59Eternal thunderstorm outside.
12:01Hot meal inside.
12:02Living well.
12:03Damien commented instantly.
12:06Where are you?
12:06Then the messages came.
12:09The storms are so bad.
12:10Are you okay?
12:12Where are you?
12:13You're eating a hot meal?
12:14I want some too.
12:15Tell me where you are.
12:17I can't leave in this storm.
12:19Bring me some food.
12:20I didn't reply to any of it.
12:22Just sent a photo of my drink.
12:24Drink is cold.
12:25Meal is hot.
12:26Damien called immediately.
12:28How are you eating like that?
12:30Can you bring some here?
12:31How are you surviving better than me in this storm era?
12:34Still on pack duty.
12:35The pack leader provided the meal.
12:37Storms are too bad to travel.
12:39Find something yourself.
12:40Don't be like that.
12:42The dry ranches are awful.
12:43I want a real meal too.
12:45No.
12:46I ended the call.
12:48I pulled up the feed.
12:49Damien was raging at his communicator.
12:51The soft act was completely gone.
12:54Years of playing the devoted partner must have been exhausting.
12:57Full and content, I stretched out on the small bed and rested.
13:02I opened the monitoring feed.
13:04Damien is incredible.
13:06The pack won't go hungry now.
13:08What a find.
13:09You're too kind.
13:10Saving this pack is my honor.
13:12We'll be one pack soon anyway.
13:14A silence fell.
13:16Of course, without you we'd have nothing.
13:18Sarah is lucky to have someone like you.
13:20I always said you were something special.
13:25Damien was completely won over.
13:28Lost in it.
13:29I closed the feed.
13:30Shook my head.
13:32I knew exactly what Sarah's pack was.
13:35The moment Sarah's pack claimed higher territory, they started looking down at every wolf around them.
13:40Drove off old allies with their own mouths.
13:43Too proud.
13:44Wouldn't even share a drop of clean water with the pack elder who came to them.
13:48A pack like that would never genuinely care about Damien.
13:52Damien called again shortly after.
13:54Good news.
13:55Sarah's parents praised me today.
13:57Oh.
13:58I scattered feed for the hens.
14:00The hens had grown.
14:01Still noisy.
14:02Still fighting over every crumb.
14:04Why are you calling?
14:05Why do I hear hens?
14:07Where are you?
14:09Damien went quiet.
14:11Feeding hens.
14:12In the middle of the eternal storm era, nor did you get hens.
14:16I didn't answer directly.
14:19Raised them.
14:20The greens and root vegetables had broken through the soil.
14:24I watered them regularly.
14:26Pulled weeds.
14:28Where are you?
14:30You're chasing hot fields and raising hens.
14:33The storm's not even reaching you?
14:35The meat stores were packed in the cold unit.
14:38Enough.
14:38For a long time.
14:40He couldn't possibly imagine I hadn't left at all.
14:44No.
14:46That's amazing.
14:47Tell me where you are.
14:49I'll bring Sarah's pack.
14:50We'll be one pack soon anyway.
14:52Find me yourself.
14:55If you find me, come.
14:57What does that mean?
14:58You don't want us there?
15:05The cold unit was stocked with prepared meals.
15:08I was right there.
15:09In my own quarters.
15:11One wall apart.
15:13Two completely different worlds.
15:15I had always given him what he wanted.
15:19This was the first time I had spoken to him like this.
15:23I took a photo and sent it to Damien.
15:26How do you have that?
15:27Tell me where you are right now.
15:29You're so selfish.
15:32I'm eating dry rations and raw protein packs and you're eating that.
15:35His voice was urgent.
15:38Half whining.
15:39Trying to pull my location out of me.
15:42This is good.
15:43The cheese actually pulls.
15:44I took a bite.
15:46Chewed twice.
15:47Said only.
15:48He never truly wanted to find me.
15:51Find me.
15:52Then come.
15:53He just couldn't stand that I was thriving.
15:57Damien was destroying my chamber.
15:59It didn't take long.
16:00Word spread through the entire pack housing block that Damien had the amplification system.
16:07Here was Patif.
16:08Here is a Bahetian.
16:09What now?
16:10The whole block knows.
16:12If they all come demanding food, our stores won't cover it.
16:16I closed the feed.
16:18Walked back to my farm.
16:19The greens were thick and deep.
16:22The hens had lost their downy fluff.
16:24They stalked through the soil, hunting insects.
16:27I loosened the soil with the small hoe.
16:29Watered each plant carefully.
16:31My communicator showed full charge.
16:34I walked into the outpost.
16:35Pulled yesterday's marinated meat from the cold unit.
16:38Cut it into pieces.
16:40And loaded the small cook unit.
16:42From the shelf, I took compressed root vegetables.
16:45Peeled and diced them.
16:47Cooked alongside the meat.
16:49I also cooked a pot of greens and egg broth.
16:52Full, I stretched out on the soft bed and opened a series on the tablet.
16:57The storms raged outside.
16:58Wolves from across the block descended on Damien in waves.
17:03At first, they just knocked and begged.
17:06Why should we share?
17:07The system belongs to our pack.
17:09Figure it out yourself!
17:10Wolves started slamming the door.
17:12The frame shuddered like it might live.
17:14Damien, think of something!
17:15She told me about something!
17:16She knew how big is on her.
17:18She thought to be whining and grass...
17:18Why am I sonnotよね���ering?
