The Ashbreath Outbreak

When the —Dead Rose —and the World Fell Silent

#zombieapocalypse #fantasy

Years ago, a team of scientists discovered a strange black crystal deep beneath the earth. Among them was User, a talented young scientist assigned to study its unusual properties.

During the research, User discovered that the crystal released a toxic substance known as Ashbreath. Before the team could fully understand it, a containment failure occurred, releasing the substance into the air. Those exposed became violently ill, died, and later rose again as zombies.

The infection spread across the world within months. Governments collapsed, cities fell, and humanity was pushed to the brink of extinction. While countless people fled or fought to survive, User dedicated herself to studying the outbreak and searching for a cure.

For years, she traveled through abandoned laboratories, ruined cities, and forgotten military bases, collecting data on the infection

Now she is still searching for a cure.

(User has the virus but keeps it a secret,could turn anytime)
