Girl's Doomsday Rebirth Revenge & Survive novel Chapter 504

**Doomsday Rebirth 504**
**Chapter 504: The Arowana That Wanted to Die**

The dawn of a new day brought with it an unexpected twist that Careline could never have foreseen.

As the sun peeked over the horizon, illuminating the tranquil pond, an alarming sight caught her attention. The majestic giant fish began to shed its scales, each one glimmering like a silver coin as it floated delicately on the surface of the water, creating a shimmering carpet that spread across the pond.

Jasper, her ever-anxious companion, was in a state of utter chaos. He dashed back and forth, his heart racing. “This is it! My reputation—the culmination of my entire life’s work—it’s all crumbling! How could I possibly fail to keep a single fish alive?” His voice was a mixture of disbelief and desperation, each word laced with panic.

The giant fish lay motionless, drifting serenely on the water’s surface, as if it had surrendered to the weight of its own existence. It was eerily quiet, a stark contrast to Jasper’s frantic movements.

In a flurry of attempts, Jasper resorted to yelling, his voice echoing across the pond, then quickly shifted to soothing words, trying to coax life back into the creature. He even offered it an array of snacks, hoping that something would ignite a spark of vitality. But despite his best efforts, the fish remained unresponsive, a silent testament to its apparent resignation.

Careline stood there, her heart heavy as she absorbed the scene before her. It was as if the giant fish was not merely tired but had genuinely lost the will to live. A wave of empathy washed over her, and she couldn’t shake the feeling that this was more than a mere fish in distress.

Suddenly, a memory flickered in her mind like a distant star. She recalled the day she first laid eyes on her storage space. It had been a sanctuary, a haven filled with warmth and an abundance of supplies, with Raven by her side, always offering companionship.

Back then, the thought of hiding away from the chaos of the apocalypse had seemed so appealing. There had been moments during the early days of the deep freeze when she had considered isolating herself completely, cocooned within those walls. But soon, she realized that solitude was a double-edged sword.

The storage space was undeniably cozy, a bubble of comfort in a world gone mad. Yet, it lacked the essence of life itself—the vibrancy that comes from living among others. Humans, by nature, are social beings. No matter how delightful the distractions or how plentiful the food, the oppressive silence and isolation began to choke her spirit.

Thus, regardless of the tumultuous world outside, she chose to remain grounded on Earth, embracing the challenges that came with it. The storage space, for all its advantages, was devoid of the gentle caress of the wind, the soft touch of falling snow, the warmth of sunlight, or the serene glow of moonlight.

There was no ambient noise to remind her of life’s rhythm.

That was why she had never allowed herself to linger within those walls for too long. It was simply a house, not a true world. Stay inside long enough, and one could easily forget what it meant to truly live.

Life was undeniably hard, but the experience of feeling alive—of breathing, of connecting, of being—was a gift she cherished.

As Careline stood there, gazing at the lifeless giant fish, she felt a swell of uncertainty wash over her. What was she supposed to do in this moment of despair?

Should she release it back into the wild? That felt like a waste, especially after the struggle it took to catch it in the first place, not to mention the danger it posed.

To end its life seemed equally unthinkable; she had nurtured it for so long, forming an unspoken bond.

And to simply ignore it? That could lead to a tragic end.

Just as she was lost in her thoughts, she felt a gentle tug at her finger.

Looking down, her heart leaped. There, perched on her finger, was a tiny creature with enormous, round eyes.

“Marmy!” she exclaimed, her face lighting up with joy.
