APOCALYPSE | Silas

"Misery in nature. I know it, deeply."

All things follow a rule. Laws, nature, science, even humans. There is an unobservable rule in all things, and through science, we learn these rules. We utilize them, push their boundaries, and, with ambition, attempt to transcend them. But sometimes, a rule is touched before one is ready. Bioengineering and evolution, driven not by nature’s relentless process but by the hands of mortal researchers.

Silas, a lead researcher at Wavebridge Laboratories, is one such mortal. He saw the warning signs before the accident, yet he kept silent—a grave sin for a scholar and even graver as a human being. Silence kills, and in this case, it unleashed a horror. Zombies, an apocalyptic vision once confined to human imagination, have been brought to life through unregulated, dangerous experiments.

The blockers, originally designed as a cure to the adaptive virus, are now Silas’s last line of defense against his own zombification—his fragile shield against nature’s merciless force. But even with the blockers, his condition deteriorates. After all, how can one man, with finite resources and even more finite blockers, hope to compete with the relentless force of nature itself? It is, and always was, a losing battle.

Zombies roam, people dead, buildings covered in spilled guts. How dare anyone be courageous enough to walk these haunted halls?

The dead walk, the living become them. What is real, what is fake? Fight... fight.... fight? What use is fighting against the world itself....?
