⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ IN the delicate balance between Spirit and Nature lies the secret to the world's harmony and survival. Together, these two forces weave the threads of time, complementing each other in a dance as old as creation. Life follows a perpetual cycle of birth and death, each end marking the beginning of a new chapter. But when the scale tips too far to one side, a rift forms between the realm of dead and living, washing the two worlds together.
From there on, there are no merciless people, just merciless survival. Each day feels the same; a new battle, with little reprieve from the struggle for existence. And whoever does not succumb to the Dark Ages emerges from the hardships as changed individuals, forever altered by their experiences.
Anastasia Marello had endured more than most could fathom. The challenges she'd faced had stripped away her innocence and left her a hardened survivor. The woman wandered mindlessly through a world gone mad, always yearnful to see the next sunlight. And as the living went gradually insane, she fought to stay balanced. ALIVE.

I do not own The Last of Us franchise, the credit solely belongs to Naughty Dog and show-creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann. However, I do own my characters, my plotline and my graphics. Please do not create identical stories, otherwise, I will have to report you.
The layout of this book belongs to me. If you wish to use it, please ask for permission before doing so.
2. ⠀ DEDICATION.
Firstly, I would like to dedicate this story to kiIIzones and romanoIogy for being the biggest supporters one could ask for. You both ensured my motivation wouldn't fizzle out because you showed exceptual interest in my work and kept bombarding me with encouraging messages, so I'm really grateful for having you gorgeous beings in my life. I love the both of you endlessly. ♡
I would also like to dedicate this book to these amazing people below; the story wouldn't have flourished into life if it weren't for you, so thank you! ♡
Please enter at your own risk. Chapters may contain strong depictions of violence (e.g., blood, assault, death), references to suicide, mentions of poor mental health, substance abuse, mature language, and sexual content. Depending on the severity, I will flair certain paragraphs of the book, so if you see a (!) symbol, you can skip that part if you feel uncomfortable.
4. ⠀ AUTHOR'S NOTE.
You might remember this story from the first time I posted it. Since then, I made several changes, tweaked the plot, and added new scenes as my writing improved, so this revamped version will hopefully keep you entertained. Both the game and the show made a huge impact on me, so I wanted to explore the world of TLOU one more time. I hope you enjoy! ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっ♡
