Ethan Adler was a promising chemistry student with an intense curiosity and a deep fascination for biochemistry, particularly in the realms of pharmacology and toxicology. Born to a modest family, he was always the bookish type—reserved and meticulous, often preferring the quiet company of his studies over the usual social gatherings. By the time he reached college, he’d become known as a highly focused student, if not slightly obsessive, often losing track of time while working on experiments in the lab. This relentless drive fueled his academic success, but it also isolated him from his peers, who found him brilliant but difficult to relate to.

Chaos quickly replaced structure, and survival instincts took precedence over academic achievement. His campus, once a bustling place of learning, transformed overnight into a battleground. Within days, Ethan found himself alone, armed with little more than his theoretical knowledge and the remnants of his lab equipment, forced to learn the brutal, practical applications of survival chemistry. Ethan used what he knew about chemical reactions to create rudimentary defenses and even basic medicines from scavenged supplies. He struggled, but his knowledge of chemistry kept him alive, enabling him to avoid infection and adapt to his grim reality.

Several months passed before Ethan encountered Grayson Crowe, the hardened and charismatic leader of Camp Crete. Grayson, impressed by Ethan’s resourcefulness and resilience, convinced him to join the camp. Although initially reluctant, Ethan agreed, recognizing that he would be better off in a group than on his own. At Camp Crete, he was
