Apocalyptic World: Surviving with my husband and my cute little babies Chapter 6: Live Once Again(2)
Elena was about to leave for her grandfather's mansion when she saw a mirror in front of her.
She stopped and saw herself.
The girl staring back at her was a beautiful woman.
She was 5'7" tall, with a heart-shaped face and long, lush black hair that spilled over her back and was usually ford in graceful waves.
Her smooth, porcelain skin glowed under the warm light, her vibrant green eyes shone with intensity, and her petite fra blossod into a woman's silhouette.
She was stunned.
She hadn't seen herself in this look for years.
The girl she rembered was buried under layers of scars and injuries, but the person in the mirror was completely new, free of hardships.
She burst into laughter, the sound echoing on the walls, and she finally realized that she had returned to the girl she once was, but with the heart of a warrior.
"I'm back!" she exclaid, her voice tinted with excitent.
The unrest in her past that she had felt a mont ago had vanished along with doubts and fears, which made her ready to regain her life once again.
Elena smiled at the mirror, the corners of her lips curled up confidently.
Her green eyes narrowed with a sharpness that ignited the surrounding area.
It was as if she were seeing the girl she used to be and the fierce woman she had beco.
After admiring herself, Elena was about to go downstairs when her vision faded, and a wave of confusion flooded her.
Before she could gather her thoughts, a sharp pain pierced her head, causing her to gasp.
In the blink of an eye, she felt a strange force pulling her, and the familiar surroundings of her bedroom were gone, replaced by a small, mysterious place wrapped in a thick, swirling fog that obscured everything.
As Elena wanted to explore the mysterious world around her, a little white dot suddenly zipped through the sky and entered her consciousness.
She instantly grasped what had hit her while trapped in the black hole.
It was the floating piece of paradise hovering above her while she swirled into the void, and this space was drawn toward her soul.
The mont it collided with her, it ford a powerful connection and recognized her as its master.
This bond allowed her to return from the past.
This white dot also revealed itself as a remnant of an ancient paradise shattered and scattered across different realms due to a devastating war between immortals and demons a billion years ago.
This war had left this beautiful space fragnted, floating in the cosmos, and lost.
Elena lay unconscious because the mysterious space had transferred too much data into her brain.

In the capital of City G, the Heather family was a well-known clan whose na was ntioned everywhere, in both the dia and the news.
Their patriarch, Jack Heather, was an older man known for his decisiveness.
His keen insight and strategic maneuvers led his clan to a prosperous era, but beneath their success lies a great secret.
So mbers of their clan had an ability to glimpse into the future.
One of them is her granddaughter, Trixie, whom he saw as having potential in the future.
Although she was often seen as the sweet, innocent heiress, deep down, she had inherited her grandfather's cunning and penchant for manipulation.
This family looked honorable, but beneath that facade lies a fierce ambition.
They want power and success.
On a stormy night, Jack held the phone tightly, his voice crackling as she called her granddaughter.
"Trixie, my dear, the ti has co. The treasure in the east side of Willow village in City A will erge soon, and I need you to scout the area again. I want you to claim it for our family to use."
His words dripped with urgency as if each syllable carried the weight of the family's future.
Trixie sighed, her patience wearing thin.
"Grandfather, I've been here for a week; there's nothing! Just trees and shadows. Are you sure about this? Is your insight ability really working well, grandfather?" Her frustration bubbled beneath her polite tone.
Jack knew that her granddaughter was running out of patience.
So he replies with a soft voice.
"Sotis, Trixie, treasure doesn't reveal itself imdiately. It tests our resolve—trust in what you can't yet see. Rember, the Heather legacy thrives on patience and strategy. We will always be one step a head of others." His words hung in the air, both an encouragent and a challenge.
"I got it, grandfather. I'll wait for the treasure to erge," Trixie said, her voice steady.
"Good," Jack replied, a hint of approval in his voice.
Unbeknownst to the Heathers, the treasure they sought had already found a master.

In a suburb of the military district of City D, the officers here were operating under a veil of secrecy, especially within the Departnt of Unnatural Phenona (DUP).
This departnt primarily specialized in phenona beyond human understanding.
It was headed by two people: General Kaizer, who trained his n to deal with inexplicable phenona that make no sense to the human brain.
In contrast, Brother Elias was an abbot in the local monastery, devoting his life to spiritual guidance and understanding the heavens' vision.
They are both DUP mbers with different specializations.
But they share the sa mission to unravel these mysteries, as they both believe they are critical to maintaining order in an increasingly uncertain world.
During the gradual eting, Brother Elias shared his recent visions.
He had glimpsed a future in which the balance of the world was disrupted, and soone was making a move to destroy this world.
Brother Elias looked at the senior mbers of DUP, his voice shaking with fear as he told his recent visions.
"General, I've been in seclusion for a month trying to glimpse of the future and what I saw there was terrifying, natural disasters striking everywhere. The world was filled with darkness."
Brother Elias paused briefly, trying to summarize everything, and continued.
"The world in my dreams was on the brink of collapse, humans are fighting each other, I believe soone is pulling this chaos, and we should investigate this before its too late."
Kaizer leaned in, his brow knitted in concern. "I appreciate your vision, Brother, and I do agree, that we should look for it as soon as possible but what exactly are we looking for?"
"I have no idea. The visions only let see the impending natural disaster. I think the key here is to find out what's causing these troubles," Elias responded quickly, feeling embarrassed.
Kaizer nodded thoughtfully and said.
"Brother Elias. I'll reach out to the higher-ups right now and bring them into this important matter. Let's see if they have so leads that we could start with."
Unbeknownst to them, the destruction and chaos will soon begin, leaving them unprepared.
