A terrified scream exploded from my chest as it lunged forward and sank those sharp, rotted teeth into my flesh.... Twenty-three years ago The Disk corporation attempted to install of program by the name of G.E.N.E.S.I.S [Genetically-ENhanced-Elite-Super-Intelligence-Soldiers] to create a stronger, faster, more intelligent solder of tomorrow. However the test subjects of the program become violent, crazed and eventually cannibalistic. In a containment breach, the outbreak spread, causing the loss of millions of lives. Now Junktown; a small village on the outskirts of Witch City, one of the higher metropolises, is located in the center of the Disk Empire. Spyder, a tough-as-nails-blue-haired soldier lives with her Alchemist mother and father in Junktown with her little sister Eden. Junktown has been attacked for years by the Pack (otherwise known as a horde of the walking dead) as a form of tax payment for the Hive Mind. Devastation. That's what the Pack leaves behind, only this time they've taken something with them. Eden. In retaliation the citizens of Junktown call a squad of professional zombie slayers to aid their small town, but Spyder has other things in mind. Will she follow the Slayers on a path of revenge, or will she stay home like a good little girl like she's supposed to. And what about the fact that the Lacertus fluid (which keeps the spread of the famine from infecting Spyder's body) happens to work a little differently than everyone thought? And what if someone in the Slayer group is not who they appear to be?

When you're marked you have two choices; fight or die. Nance lives in the past, literally. Her city is a recreation of early twenty-first century society. To the outside world they're experiments, just rats running around a maze. In an impoverished future world, the city seems to be their only chance of finding where they went wrong, or so they say. Nance doesn't know the real purpose of her home, and she doesn't care. All she sees are the one hundred teenagers, just like her, who are killed every year in the barbaric ritual known as the marking. They tattoo your face and pit you against your peers, against the city. Nance doesn't know why, but it doesn't matter, because she's sixteen and it's her turn to be marked. **So I decided to replace the original story with the rewrite because they are pretty much exactly the same. Plus, it's a lot less complicated then having two separate books for the same story.** There is a * next to all rewritten chapters. THE ORIGINAL VERSION IS COMPLETE. IT'S JUST NOT MARKED AS SUCH BECAUSE I GAVE UP ON THE REWRITE.
