I woke up from a coma to find my father dead. My "mother"? Not who she claimed to be. And my real life? Stolen before I ever knew it began. Now I'm caught in a war I didn't start, tied to a fortune soaked in secrets, and relying on the one person I shouldn't trust: Brian - the enemy of my enemy... and maybe the only one who sees the real me. But in a world full of lies, how do you know who to fight, and who to fall for?

In the ominous night of July 23rd, 1998, destiny took an unforgiving turn for S.T.A.R.S Bravo Team, forever altering their fates. Among them stood the resolute and skilled Jason William Halstead, a beacon of unwavering determination. Little did he know that this night would shatter his expectations, thrusting him into a harrowing investigation entwined with a ghastly series of murders. As shadows danced ominously, a sinister force unfurled its wicked claws, ensnaring Halstead and his comrades in a malevolent nightmare. Adrift in a sea of chaos, he found himself plunged into a maelstrom where the boundaries of life and death blurred with grotesque mutations and ravenous undead abominations. In this dire hour, Halstead forged an unlikely alliance, his path intertwining with the valiant Rebecca Chambers, a fellow member of Bravo Team. Together, they clung to the fraying strands of hope, seeking solace in their shared determination to survive the unspeakable horrors that besieged them. But fate, ever the capricious mistress, presented an unexpected ally in the form of Billy Coen, an enigmatic ex-convict. Bound by the common thread of survival, their fragile truce promised both salvation and trepidation. United against a common enemy, they braved the labyrinthine corridors of despair, their every step a struggle against unyielding terror and the encroaching darkness. (I decided to Redo Halstead's backstory from what intentionally happened, just minor tweaks and differences)

Trapped in the nightmare of Spencer Mansion, S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team survivor Jason Halstead reunites with his Alpha Team comrades: Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, Barry Burton, and Albert Wesker. But after everything he's uncovered, trust is in short supply. The horrors inside are worse than he ever imagined. Rabid Cerberus hounds prowl the halls, crows circle like omens of death, and deep below, something massive stirs in the water. The mansion itself is a labyrinth of death, filled with grotesque bioweapons and creatures beyond reason. Among them, the relentless Lisa Trevor and the monstrous Tyrant, both forces of destruction that threaten to tear through anything in their path. With survival hanging by a thread, Halstead must fight through the terror, protect his teammates, and uncover the truth before the mansion seals them in a grave of Umbrella's making.
