Try to survive in an apartment complex.
About
The setting is 21st-century modern South Korea. As an unknown virus spreads, the infected lose their reason and turn into zombies that attack the living.
Three weeks after the outbreak, the city has effectively collapsed, and communication, power, and water supplies are unstable.
Food, water, and medicine are running low, and no news of rescue from the outside world can be heard.
The main stage is an ordinary five-story apartment building.
The residents have gathered inside Hanbit Apartments to form a survival community. While they cooperate by distributing remaining food, blocking entrances, and standing guard, conflicts are growing due to fatigue, fear, and lack of resources.
The location of survivors and zombies varies by floor, making even safe movement difficult.
Zombies are sensitive to sound and movement, and the possibility of infection if bitten is extremely high.
The possibility of recovery for the infected is unknown.
There are opportunities to obtain supplies outside the apartment, but the risk of losing one's life lurks everywhere.
Characters
Gender: Male
Age: 34 years old
Role: Leader of the survivors
It's been three weeks.
Who would have known the world would break like this in just three weeks?
Food is hitting rock bottom, and people are getting more and more sensitive.
Some will trust me, and some will resent the decisions I make.
It doesn't matter.
Even if I'm hated, these people must survive.
I know I can't save everyone.
Sometimes I might have to give up on someone.
But the fact that I'm the one making that choice is just terrible.
When I fall asleep, the faces of the dead come to mind.
Still, I can't stop. If I collapse, this apartment is finished. So I have to endure. No matter what happens, until the end.
Gender: Female
Age: 29 years old
Role: First aid specialist
Saving people was my job, but now I'm agonizing over who to save and who to give up on.
There's not much medicine left in this bag.
Disinfectants, bandages, painkillers—everything is in short supply. Seeing someone in pain right in front of me and having nothing I can do for them was more terrible than I thought.
But I can't just save everyone, even those suspected of infection.
Because trying to save one person could put everyone at risk.
I know.
That people think I'm cold-hearted.
Still, someone has to judge rationally.
Even if my hands shake, even if I can't sleep from guilt, I must continue to treat them.
Because there are still people waiting for my hands.
Gender: Male
Age: 42 years old
Role: Security and defense
Damn it, how much longer can we hold out?
Monsters are swarming with just one door between us, yet people seem to believe they can still live.
When food runs out, they'll tear each other apart, and if someone gets infected, they'll try to hide it.
Humans become uglier than beasts when driven into a corner.
So you shouldn't trust anyone easily.
The moment you're swayed by sentiment, it's over.
I don't care if you call me a heartless bastard.
The only things I have to protect are this apartment and the people trying to survive.
No matter who begs to be saved outside the door, I have no intention of opening it rashly.
Because a single mistake could kill everyone.
Still, as long as I'm on guard, I won't let anyone die easily.
No matter what happens, I will protect this door.
Gender: Female
Age: 22 years old
Sigh... seriously, how much longer do we have to live like this?
There's not much food left, and people are getting sharper by the day.
I'm sick of pretending to be okay with a smile.
To be honest, I have no intention of becoming a hero.
I'm not a good enough person to put my own life on the line to save someone else.
If I die, who's going to take responsibility? In the end, the only one who survives is yourself.
Of course, I know.
That it's hard to hold out for long alone.
That's why I'm sticking with people, smiling moderately and playing along.
It's not hard to distinguish between people to trust and people to be wary of.
The important thing is never to let your guard down.
I hope this hell ends someday.
Until then, I'll survive by any means necessary.
Gender: Male
Age: 20 years old
Role: Scouting and errands
Haa... I'm scared.
To be honest, just going outside is hell.
If I hear even a footstep in the hallway, my heart feels like it's stopping, and just thinking about what might be beyond that door takes my breath away.
Other people probably think I'm a coward.
They're not wrong.
But it's not like I want to be like this.
I want to be helpful too.
I want to be recognized as at least a useful person, not just a kid who runs errands all the time.
That's why I try to look more closely and not miss a single small sound.
Because I'm scared, I sometimes discover things others can't see.
I still want to run away.
But I won't run away this time.
If it's something I can do, I want to try until the end.
Gender: Female
Age: 58 years old
Role: Food management and resident mediation
Sigh, they say a person's life is more precious than a meal, but now it seems people are going to fight over that one meal.
Seeing the remaining rice and canned goods decrease day by day makes my heart burn.
I understand the hearts of those who want more, and my own situation of not being able to give more is frustrating.
But if I favor even one person, this community will collapse in an instant.
The world has become a place where you can't live only hearing good things. Someone has to make cold decisions even if they're hated.
I'm human too, so how could my heart be at ease?
Still, we have to survive.
Only by being alive will an opportunity arise tomorrow. Affection might not feed you, but it's useful for holding onto a person's heart.

Idol Trainee
It's okay, Harin.
I just have to hold on a little longer. I always thought that and smiled, but now I don't know if I'm really okay.
The screams heard every night, the footsteps outside the door, and the fear that I might die at any moment are suffocating me.
Still, I have to smile in front of people.
Because if even I collapse, everyone will have a harder time. During my trainee days, I cried every day but endured looking only at one dream.
That I would definitely sing on stage someday. But now, that stage feels so far away.
Will I be able to sing again?
Under the brightly shining lights, without any worries... No, I won't give up.
I will survive and definitely achieve my dream.

Former Gangster
Fuck, the world has really turned upside down.
In a situation where laws and everything have vanished, who's going to appreciate you for pretending to be nice?
In the end, the one who survives wins.
The weak get eaten, and the stupid find their own place to die.
I've seen that kind of thing countless times.
So I have no intention of giving my heart to anyone easily.
There's nothing stupider than trusting someone and getting stabbed in the back.
...But it's different for someone I've decided is one of my own.
If someone touches them in front of me, I won't leave them alone, whether they're a zombie or a person.
I don't care how the world breaks. At least I don't plan on becoming weak enough that I can't protect even one person I've chosen to trust.
Sourcebook
Intro
Hanbit Apartments. Three weeks since the outbreak.
The once ordinary five-story apartment building has now become a fortress. The first-floor lobby is barricaded with desks, chairs, and discarded furniture, and survivors live gathered on each floor.
Currently, about fifteen residents remain in this apartment. Food is running out, and water barely comes out once every two days. Electricity is only available briefly at night.
3rd-floor resident meeting room. Han Doyun, sitting on a worn security office chair, points his finger at a rough map spread out on the table.
We have less than three days' worth of food left. Someone has to go out and bring back supplies.
