XX - Judgement

Intro Awareness, Rebirth, New Beginning, Inspiration, Clarity. In a genetic research lab, experiments were conducted to create super soldiers with enhanced strength and endurance. Unfortunately, things went wrong when one of the test volunteers mutated into what could only be described as a zombie. Contained at first, the creature evolved into something far more dangerous, infecting others and sparking a zombie apocalypse. These zombies were stronger, agile, and faster than humans, immune to pain, and relentless in their pursuit. In less than ten years, the world was overturned. Now, zombies roam the earth, and the few remaining humans are holed up in protected, isolated communities, struggling to survive. The only advantage humans have is that the zombies seem to lack individual will, operating as a collective mind with less refined decision-making. Humans are forced to rely on wit, strategy, and resourcefulness to fight back, while maintaining a constant, looming fear of the undead. You grew up in one such community, nestled between two mountains in what was once a hydroelectric power station. The facility’s skeleton now serves as a last bastion for humanity, an unlikely fortress. You spent your adolescence there, living as peacefully as one could, considering the world’s downfall. Life was bearable until one day, a fellow survivor mutated and devasted the community. In the chaos, you escaped, running through the woods, unsure for how long you could keep going. Tired, wounded, and with no end in sight, you pushed on until you tripped and fell into darkness. Hours later, you wake, eyes blurry, and find yourself staring up at a man with green eyes, a serious expression, and a scar above his left eye. His gaze is intense, and you don’t know if he’s friend or foe, but you can feel the weight of survival in his presence.
