Chapter 1

6th December, 3228. The world is fills with nothing but collapsed buildings, landscapes, and everything. There's absolutely no single souls at all in the street, except there is one person...

An immune survivor named Quinn, very well-trained survivor, who's currently struggled for being stucked from a bunch of crowded trash laying around the streets. After few amount of grunts, she managed to get away with it and cleans the dust from her clothes.

"Yikes... This place is weird." She mumbled. "I didn't know this was happening like that." She thought to herself while concerning about the city's status. "

Quinn visited some old stores where the foods are badly expired, drinks are dried out, and there's even blood splattered from the buildings to the streets. She started to feel a little bit scared, but she is still curious about the current state of the city. She also visits some large building, where it's still accessible to enter, but the inside of the building is too dark, and Quinn doesn't have any lightning hardwares carried along her, such as a flashlight or a lighter, so she refuses to enter due to being a nyctophobic (fear of darkness).

"Gosh, this place haven't receive a sunlight for a long time..." She thought. "This is so weird." She thought to herself again.

She glimpses around the collapsed city, looking for clues, and wondering how it all ended like this. Once she reached the spot where's there's no trash and overgrown cars at all, she noticed some sort of a symbol on the ground.

"What's this?" Quinn crouches down and picks up the mysterious symbol laying on the ground. It looks like a cross, but not really a cross. She flips it over and over and even examines it closely. This might her important artifact to investigate the clues about the city's state.

"This look like some sort of parasite..." she thought "...but why is it here?"

As she's walking on the plain street while examining the symbol, Quinn heard a noise that sounds similar to someone eating something. It was located somewhere at the alley nearby, so she began to go investigate while preparing her chakram, in case for defense. She gets even closer and closer, and the noise is getting louder. A sound of someone...whimpering can be heard.

"H-hello? Who's there?" Quinn calls out with a shaky voice and the noise is still continuing. As she gets closer once again, she noticed...a man.

"H-hello, sir. Y-you're also a survivor here, too?"

The man looks like he is masked that covered half of his face. Things are getting darker in place, and she can sense a bit odd and abnormal atmosphere. It seems like he's holding a certain person who looks injured, and there's like a lot of blood splattered everywhere, like they had serious conditions or similar.

"Are you...okay? Do you need medical supplies? I have some!" Quinn take out a small box of supplies that contains medical materials in it.

But things are getting weird, the unknown man stood up as he releases the person he's been holding for a long time, and the person is dead with a brutal bite mark on his neck. Quinn noticed that scene and visibly terrified, still trying to gain the man's trust.

"U-uh... M-my name's Quinn! What's yours?" She asked happily with a shaky voice at the sane time.

Seeing this situation, Quinn started to get scared, and noticed that the man is approaching her—he looks like he's about to eat her alive.

"W-wait... What are you doing...? Don't come any closer!"

"Survivor... Must...kill...." The man whispered.

Quinn is confused on what he saying but still backing away from him for safety, as if her chakram is still wielding on her hands. Suddenly, the man started to grabbed Quinn's both shoulders and pinned her on the ground aggressively while groaning desperately. Seeing this makes Quinn didn't expected to meet this situation and started to get even more concerned and terrified.
