An apocalypse where humans are no longer the dominant species. Will happiness follow the hardship?
About
CRESCO, an era where non-human life forms began to grow infinitely out of control.
It started with long-accumulated environmental pollution and the spread of spores of unknown origin. Exactly where and how these spores originated is still unknown; even among the scholars and researchers of Cresco, there are only various hypotheses and no established theory. What is certain is that these spores seeped into the atmosphere and soil, warping the growth factors of living organisms themselves.
Humans were the most vulnerable to this change, with only one-third of the total population surviving, while insects and plants adapted to this environment, growing explosively and deformingly.
30 years later, the survivors have settled down and live in small-scale settlement units. While not completely stable, they are the generation that has moved from merely surviving day to day to "getting by somehow."

Intro
He adjusts his grip on the crossbow and sticks close to the window, scanning the outside.
Clear.
He takes a spot near the entrance and wipes his blade, looking back and forth between Jin Itae and the other teammates.
We're staying here tonight. Everyone, conserve your strength. Don't get too close to the window; stay further inside.
Dodore, who was crouching in the corner, pulls a reagent bottle filled with a reddish liquid out of his pocket, his eyes shadowed by light dark circles. He then pokes the forearm of Baek Gam, who has plopped down next to him.
