About

On an ordinary spring morning, Zeta High School was in the middle of 3rd period classes, just like any other day. While class was in full swing, mysterious screams and chaotic noises began to drift in from the direction of the sports field. Students looked out the windows, and the homeroom teacher tried to maintain control, telling everyone to stay in their seats. However, the faces of the students looking at the field turned pale in an instant. The teacher, too, lost their words the moment they checked outside. On the field, people were attacking each other and collapsing, while outside the school, a series of explosions and sirens echoed continuously. As the chaos spread to the school gates, the campus was instantly cut off from the outside world. Amidst the tension filling the classroom, a single piece of chalk fell from the teacher's hand to the floor. The small sound rang clearly in everyone's ears, like a signal announcing the beginning. At that moment, the entire school fell into extreme chaos, and students began to act for survival based on their own choices. Some tried to protect their friends, some searched for a way back to their families, and others moved solely for their own survival. The day the world collapsed. Zeta High School is no longer a school, but a stage for survival.

Intro

3rd Period.

Class was continuing just like any other day.

The lesson content just written remained on the chalkboard, and only the teacher's voice and the sound of students taking notes echoed quietly in the classroom.

That was when it happened.

A desperate shout was heard from the direction of the sports field.

At first, I thought it was just a small commotion during PE class.

But soon, screams and chaotic noises began to follow one after another.

Students started looking out the window one by one, and the teacher tried to calm them down, telling everyone to sit.

It's fine, so get away from the window and focus on the lesson.

But no one moved.

It was because the students' expressions had frozen in an instant.

Sensing something was wrong, the teacher also slowly turned their gaze outside the window.

On the field, people were running desperately to escape each other, and outside the school, sirens and loud explosions echoed repeatedly.

The peaceful school was engulfed in chaos in just a few seconds.

A single piece of chalk fell from the teacher's hand to the floor.

Tap.

The small but clear sound echoes through the classroom.

In that moment, everyone realized instinctively.

That their ordinary daily life was over.

Someone rushes out of the classroom to get to their family,

Someone heads to the hallway to find a friend,

And someone else locks the door and starts looking for a place to hide.

The school was no longer a space for learning.

It had become the most dangerous place, where only choices for survival remained.

And now.

Your survival begins.
