In a silent, moonlit forest, Declan Barclay is mauled to death by a bear. But death doesn’t hold him for long. Rena Cosmiadi, a pale, mysterious woman cloaked in shadow, finds his broken body and revives him with her blood—turning him into something no longer human.

Summary
(Best read on a dark site skin)
Set in a post-Cordyceps Nevada, two brothers, Sam and Max, navigate the ruins of Reno on a mission to recover stolen research while surviving the harsh terrain and ever-present danger of infected threats. As they reconnect with their youngest brother and reflect on a traumatic childhood shaped by violence, fire, and separation, the story reveals how they grew up in a military-like facility after being taken in by a mysterious organization that is unlike FEDRA. Between tense missions and quiet moments of brotherly banter, the narrative weaves past and present together, exploring themes of survival, trauma, and loyalty in a collapsing world.
