**Doomsday Rebirth 457**
**Chapter 457: Raven Wakes Up**
As dawn broke, the soft light crept through the curtains, casting gentle shadows across the room. Caroline stirred, a faint tickling sensation brushing against her cheek. Half-awake, she mumbled groggily, “Raven, cut it out.”
But in that moment, a chill of realization swept over her. Raven was supposed to be downstairs, not here beside her.
With a sudden rush of adrenaline, she shot up, her heart racing as a weapon materialized in her hand. Her eyes darted around the room, searching for any sign of danger. Instead, she found Raven, his bright, shiny eyes gleaming with mischief, his tail whirling like a playful little fan. Beside him stood Jet, the bird’s beak twitching as he struggled to suppress laughter, emitting soft “hee-hee-hee” sounds that echoed in the stillness of the morning. It dawned on her—Raven was awake!
And of course, Jet had taken it upon himself to open the door for his furry friend.
The two must have tiptoed into her bedroom, plotting together, lying in wait for the perfect moment to startle her awake. A smile tugged at Caroline’s lips, even as she felt a flicker of annoyance. Despite their age and supposed maturity, she still felt the urge to lightly thump their heads together.
In a swift motion, she gathered Raven into her arms, her heart swelling with affection as she checked him over. His fur was smooth and glossy, and there were no injuries to be found. He radiated health, and his eyes sparkled with an almost human-like intelligence. Only then did she exhale, feeling a wave of relief wash over her.
And if she were honest, Raven looked even more striking now. One eye was a brilliant blue, the other a mesmerizing gold, and against his dark fur, he appeared even more handsome than before.
“Raven, did you get a new ability?” Caroline asked, her voice laced with hope, her curiosity piqued.
But Raven remained silent, tilting his head as he regarded her with an intensity that mirrored her own anticipation. It was as if he was waiting for her to uncover some hidden truth.
Then, the silence was shattered by a loud, rumbling growl.
It was a stomach growl—long, resonant, and powerful enough that Caroline felt the mattress beneath her tremble. Raven was clearly hungry, perhaps even enough to devour an entire mountain of food.
“Time to eat! You must be starving!” she exclaimed, her concern for Raven bubbling to the surface. It had been nearly three days since he had last eaten, and she couldn’t ignore the worry gnawing at her.
He needed a proper meal, and she was determined to provide it.
In that moment, she truly grasped the concept of a bottomless pit.
Pot after pot of meat vanished into Raven’s eager mouth. He devoured the dog food as if it were the most delectable feast, showing no signs of slowing down. Just days prior, the army’s canned-food factory had sent them a shipment, and after tasting one of the cans herself, Caroline had discovered it was entirely salt-free. So, she had opened more than a hundred cans, all for Raven.
And he polished them off without a second thought.

**Mutated Earth Ability: Gravity Field.**
**Note:** Within a 215-square-foot range, the user has complete control. The gravity experienced by all living beings within the field can be adjusted from 0.3x to 5x the normal gravity. If wielded skillfully, one could compel their enemies to submit and acknowledge them as their leader. This ability is extraordinarily potent in group confrontations. No one would suspect that such a power would awaken in a dog—Caroline’s dog, at that! She had truly hit the jackpot this time.
