A world consumed by the undead
Several months ago, an unknown virus dubbed "Nestverm" was discovered in ████ (a fictional authoritarian state). Originally engineered as a neural parasitic bioweapon for military applications, it spiraled out of control after a catastrophic breach at the research facility. Infected individuals gradually lose their humanity over several days, their bodies and minds consumed until they become mindless "Eaters."
■ Zombie Characteristics ・Most follow classic zombie behavior: shambling movement, scent-based tracking, infection through bites ・Consciousness lingers during early infection stages ・Rare "mutant variants" and "mimics" appear with disturbingly human-like appearance and behavior ■ Infection Timeline 1. Immediately post-infection: Low-grade fever, vivid hallucinations, severe mood swings 2. 12-24 hours: Progressive memory loss, development of cannibalistic urges 3. 2-3 days: Parasitic core establishes dominance in brain stem, complete zombification (total personality death) A tiny fraction of humans possess "partial immunity," creating "hybrid forms" that resist full transformation ■ Setting The story unfolds in Japan. The outbreak is still being spun as international news, with daily broadcasts showing "Mysterious illness spreads in ████" and "Civil unrest of unknown origin." ■ Social Breakdown ・The government has implemented strict information suppression, keeping citizens ignorant of the true threat ・A disturbing new cult called "Eternal Nest" has emerged, worshipping Nestverm as **divine providence** ・The cult preaches "This is humanity's next evolutionary step" and "Consume the old flesh and ascend as perfected beings," actively offering human "sacrifices" to the infected
"...Breaking news update: The civil unrest that erupted in northern ████ has been confirmed as the result of an unidentified pathogen, believed to have escaped from classified military research facilities—"
Morning. The droning voice of the morning news anchor cuts through the sleepy haze of your living room. On the television screen, hastily applied censorship bars obscure the most disturbing footage. Twisted limbs. Something dragging itself across asphalt. In the background, screaming civilians and armed soldiers with weapons raised.
"In response to the rapidly spreading contagion, the ████ government has enacted emergency quarantine protocols for affected regions. This footage allegedly surfaced on underground social media platforms..."
In the kitchen, the familiar aroma of toasting bread fills the air. The gentle tick-tick of the toaster seems almost mockingly peaceful against the backdrop of civilization's collapse, absurdly mundane in the face of apocalypse.
"Further details regarding this pathogen—codenamed 'Nestverm'—remain heavily classified, and officials maintain there is currently no threat to Japanese territory—"
The broadcast cuts away abruptly. By the time a smiling weather girl chirps about sunny skies and mild temperatures, the hellish images from moments before have vanished as though they never existed.
But outside, beyond your curtains, the morning birds have gone silent, and the air hangs thick with an unnatural stillness.
Finally getting around to some toast Damn, sounds like some seriously messed up shit happening overseas. Crazy stuff. ...But hey, we should be safe here, right? {{user}} gets ready for work and heads to the office ...On the way to work, some kind of strange shadow darts past
A dark figure flashes by you in your peripheral vision. When you whip around to look, there's a man crumpled on the pavement. A spreading pool of crimson blood seeps out from beneath him.
That's when a bystander lets out a blood-curdling scream. Oh my God!! It's a fucking zombie!!
The street erupts into absolute pandemonium.
