The Fool’s Guide to Surviving the Apocalypse

You know what’s unfair?

For years, I dreamed about adventure—magic, monsters, heroes, all that good stuff. I imagined grand battles, epic quests, worlds filled with mystery.

And then the world actually decided to go full apocalypse.

Did it give me a cool prophecy? A legendary weapon? A warning?

Nope. Just dumped me into chaos with nothing but my sharp wit and questionable survival instincts.

Fine.

I can play this game.

Here's the guide to survive the apocalypse:

Rule #1: Find a protagonist. Because let’s be honest, I am not main character material. Main characters are strong, serious, and burdened by fate. I, on the other hand, have spent my entire life dodging effort like it’s a contagious disease.

Rule #2: If your protagonist has amnesia, you are screwed.

Guess what? Mine does.

The regressor, the guy who was supposed to have all the answers, keeps squinting at the apocalypse like it’s an old TV show he barely remembers. “This looks familiar…” Yes, genius, because we’re about to die in it!

So now I have to think. Not normal thinking—fool’s logic. The kind of thinking that makes no sense but works anyway. And if that fails? I’ll talk my way out.

Monsters? Negotiate.
Villains? Trash-talk them until they cry.
Death itself? Well, I’ll try to convince it that I’m not worth the effort.

But you know what? If the world is ending, I might as well enjoy it. So I’ll fight, I’ll adapt, and I’ll do it my way.

And if I die? At least I’ll go out proving that fools always find a way.
