My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 845

Chapter 845: Chapter 845 New Title Acquired

Meanwhile, Clyde returned home carrying bag after bag of supplies. Inside, his mother and younger sister were seated by the side, going through their meager stock and doing an inventory before preparing dinner.

Without Clyde’s father, the only elder left in their family was his mother, and now it was just the three of them — Clyde, a 19-year-old boy, and his sister, who was even younger. The burden of providing for the family had fallen squarely on his shoulders.

His mother and sister were trying their best to stretch every supply they had, anxious about the days ahead. Watching them fuss over every can and packet, Clyde felt a tight sting in his chest and a sourness in his nose. These were women who once lived in comfort, used to fine meals, and never having to worry about basic needs. But here they were — cautious, frugal, and silently worried.

Before Clyde reached City B, they had already faced hunger. His sister had nearly been kidnapped by the Coltons. That memory still haunted him, and seeing their quiet resilience now only deepened his determination to protect them and never let them suffer again.

With the tip of his nose slightly red from emotion, Clyde carried all the supplies he received as compensation from the mission assigned by Kisha and stepped into the house. He quietly set the bags down, drawing the attention of his mother and sister.

"Mom, sis, stop worrying about the supplies," he said, his voice steady but warm. "I brought more. Just focus on eating well and staying healthy — that’s what matters most."

He gently pulled them closer to show what he had brought. "Look — I got meat, eggs, vegetables, even fruits. And here," he added, placing a small bottle into his sister’s hand, "this is Scarlet Honey. It might help you awaken an ability... so take it, just in case."

Without waiting for thanks, Clyde began storing the goods in their modest kitchen. The cabinet, once half-empty, now brimmed with new canned goods. He had managed to bring home a whole sack each of rice and flour. He even bought several jars of pickled vegetables from the marketplace — a practical inspiration after seeing Jason and Adam do the same. They’d go well with the rich, oily meat, cutting through the grease and refreshing the palate.

"Whoa! That’s a lot!" Clyde’s sister gasped, her eyes widening as she took in all the food he brought home. "Was your mission outside really that successful?" Her gaze lingered on the bottle of Scarlet Honey in her hand, sparkling with excitement after hearing its potential.

Clyde grinned proudly. "Yeah, it went really well. We just opened a new trade route with some outsiders. Pretty soon, more of them will start coming into our base to buy supplies and trade crystal cores for goods or information."

He couldn’t help but puff his chest a little at her admiration. As young as he was, Clyde still enjoyed being praised — especially by the people who mattered most to him.

Meanwhile, deep within her territory space, Kisha received confirmation that the mission had been a success, a small but satisfying smile tugging at her lips.

Ding!

[Congratulations on completing the Hidden Mission: Class A – "Trading Is the Source of the Economy’s Growth"]

[You have received 10,000 System Points]

[You have received the Title: ’The Merchant’]

"Hmmm... I guess the real reward here is the title itself," Kisha murmured, her eyes fixed on the rewards displayed in front of her.

The completion notification also confirmed something else — Jason and Adam had successfully made it back to their respective camps. That was quick. Either they weren’t too far from City B, or they drove like hell to get back in time. As it turned out, it was both.

Jason and Adam’s teams had pushed themselves to the limit, rushing home with the much-needed supplies and urgent good news. When they left their camps, desperation had already begun to set in. Food was scarce, and people were falling ill due to poor nutrition. That’s why they took the risk of heading into the big city — and thankfully, it had paid off.

So, with the supplies finally secured, both teams were eager to rush home. They couldn’t wait to let everyone eat to their heart’s content and share the good news — their journey, their success, and the hope they brought back. By doing so, they hoped to reignite everyone’s fighting spirit and remind them that survival wasn’t just a dream. There was a way forward.

"Alright, let’s see what this title actually does," Kisha muttered, clicking on the glowing icon for her newly earned title: ’The Merchant’.
