But if you caught it mid–air? If you bottled it up before it landed? The power stayed locked in.
Sure, it would usually degrade over time, but Josie had a cheat code: her infinite storage space. It was the ultimate vault–everything inside stayed perfect, frozen in time.
Whatever went in came out exactly the same.
That meant the rainwater was still just as potent.
When the word got out, it hit the base like a rock through a window. The whole place went into a total frenzy.
All those people who had missed the storm–the ones who’d been kicking themselves for not taking the risk–suddenly had a
second chance.
How could they not lose their minds?
Sure, the stakes were lethal. If you lost the bet, you didn’t just lose your life; you turned into one of the Undead.
But if you won? You became a Super. You’d be at the top of the food chain.
And if there’s one thing this world has plenty of, it’s people willing to roll the dice.
People would scramble for a one–in–ten–thousand shot. But a one percent chance? That was a goddamn goldmine.
When you’ve got nothing left to lose, you’re ready to bet it all.
At the end of the day, you were going to end up dead anyway.
But what if?
What if you actually awakened?
Their days of struggling were finally over.
The high life was right there. I’d be living at the very top of the food chain.
Tell me, what gambler could ever say no to a rush like that?
Forget the desperate losers–even Tate couldn’t resist the bait. He actually sent a middleman to beg Josie, desperate to buy some of
hat rain from her.
une was floored when she heard the news.
What the hell did that mean?
osie had hoarded the rain? From the first storm?
f she used it… could she trigger a third awakening?
une was instantly torn. The conflict was eating her alive.
She wanted to roll the dice. She really did. But this time, she was terrified of losing.
What if the power just vanished again?
Could she even handle it? This massive crash after flying so high–a blow like this could break anyone.
Sylvia was torn. “June, let’s just forget it. We’ve got a solid stash saved up. We can make it if we tighten our belts. Besides, so many guys are into you. Just find a heavy hitter and marry him!”
‘Mom, after everything, you still believe the bullshit that comes out of a man’s mouth?” June sneered. “They don’t chase me because they love me. They chase me because I’m an asset.”
“When I was a Tier–3 Plant–type Super, I was a trophy. Now? I have nothing. Why would they want me? To be dead weight?

Dad spent over ten years feeding you sweet talk. And look where that got you.”

‘Men’s promises are trash! I’m not falling for it!” June snapped. The only thing that’s real is my own strength. Power is the only thing that matters!”
‘I can’t rely on anyone but myself,” June hissed, her jaw tight. “I’m taking one more shot. Even if I crash and burn, I have to try.”
Sylvia’s voice shook. “But if something happens to you… what will I do?”
‘Deal with it!” June’s face twisted into a snarl. “I either live or I die. Simple as that.”
Arthur had been silent for a long time. Finally, he spoke up. “I’ll go find a seller. I’ll tell them it’s for me. I won’t let them find out it’s for you.”
June didn’t stop him.
She clenched her fists, her knuckles white, her eyes burning with a terrifying resolve.
She was like a cockroach. No matter what happened, she just wouldn’t die.
She really was Josie’s sister. Neither of them knew how to quit. Neither of them would just accept what life threw at them.
