The Walking Dead: A New Beginning From the End of the World

"This is the ending we've been waiting for? Six episodes finished, and I still feel like nothing happened that we didn't already expect." Jason rubbed his slightly sore eyes after turning off the living room television.

Jason was a devoted fan of the beloved show The Walking Dead. He had followed the story since its early days and, while waiting for new episodes, had rewatched it countless times.

But the latest installment left him disappointed. Although he loved most aspects of the series, as a loyal fan, he knew there were many things that could have been done much better—more intriguing outcomes, especially involving an organization like the CRM, which had sparked so much speculation, theories, and detailed analysis from related series.

And was the CRM's conclusion unexpected? No, Jason thought it was a disappointing conclusion to what seemed to be the CRM's final arc.

In the end, as just another viewer, Jason could only lament.

Picking up his phone beside him, a faint light illuminated the screen.

"It's three in the morning. Time to go to bed." Jason sighed, still bitter about the ending of his favorite show, as he walked to his bedroom.

Lying in bed, the endings of the show's protagonists replayed in Jason's mind. He wished, with all his heart, that he could have crafted far better outcomes.

"If I were in that world, I'd definitely rewrite all those dreadful storylines the producers thought we'd enjoy. I could lead humanity down the right path—I wouldn't be some damned selfish character."

With this thought, his mind became filled with all kinds of clever strategies that would have avoided many of the disastrous outcomes for characters who met unpleasant ends.

As a viewer who knew all the enemies, he knew how to take them down and the steps he would take to deal with those consumed by evil.

He knew the right way to build his own organization, the defensive measures he'd implement to avoid being crushed by the strongest, and what he needed to do to prevent everything he built from self-destructing.

He'd take down the Governor, crush the cannibals, and save a few people—only those who truly deserved it.

"How could you, with the chance to take control of the CRM, lead the most powerful force in the world, choose to destroy the only hope of rebuilding humanity the right way? Didn't you learn that the only way to keep the selfish from seizing power is by having a single chain of command in the world?" Jason couldn't sleep, still angry at the thought of the unclear future left for humanity.

"Damn it, what a shame. Things could've been so much better…"

The way certain characters were written out of the story was something he would never forgive anyone involved in making such ridiculous decisions.

Lying in bed, Jason was dazed, his expression turning bitter.

A night with nothing to do but plenty of personal complaints.

By five in the morning, Jason, who still couldn't sleep, heard a notification sound from his phone. He didn't want to open his eyes again just to check what had arrived at this hour, but seconds later, the notifications kept coming.

"Who could it be at this hour?" Jason didn't have many friends, and even fewer relatives who genuinely cared, so he couldn't think of anyone who might be messaging him—except maybe some friends from the military.

But as the notifications kept pouring in, he opened his eyes. The moment he picked up the phone with his right hand, the world around him began to grow darker and darker.

"What's happening to me?"

"Am I… fainting?"

Without understanding what was happening that night, Jason's life took a drastic turn.

Something he could never have imagined was about to happen, and he was about to discover far more terrifying things.

Is he ready for this new chapter in his life that awaits him?
