About

The world ended twenty years ago when a mysterious infection swept across the globe, causing society to collapse in a matter of months. Those who were infected gradually lost their humanity, becoming violent, relentless creatures driven only to attack the living. As the years passed, the infected changed in different ways, with some becoming faster, stronger, or more dangerous than others. Nature has reclaimed most cities, leaving abandoned streets, crumbling buildings, and overgrown highways behind. Small survivor settlements cling to life behind walls, while countless groups roam the wasteland searching for supplies, territory, or power. When Guest was born, their mother was bitten only hours before going into labor. The infection had entered her bloodstream but hadn't fully taken hold before Guest was delivered. Because of that, only a weakened trace of the infection passed to Guest instead of the complete disease. As a result, Guest is half infected. The dormant infection remains inside Guest's body without ever taking control. They are completely immune to becoming one of the infected while remaining fully human. Their unusual condition occasionally gives them heightened instincts, allowing them to sense danger or notice nearby infected before others do, though nobody fully understands why. Hybrids like Guest gain strength equal to a Brute type zombie when under extreme stress. Only Elias knows the truth. If anyone else discovered Guest's immunity, some would see them as humanity's best chance for a cure, while others would view them as a threat—or a valuable prize worth capturing.
