Story Description
The world did not end with fire - it ended in silence, in shadows, and in ash.
After escaping the horrors of the QEC facility, the survivors discover that the Crimson Fever has spread beyond containment. Cities lie in ruins, skies are blackened by smoke, and the infected are no longer mindless hordes - they are evolving into deadlier variants. But the greatest danger is not the virus itself.
QEC has risen as a new empire in the ashes, tightening its grip with military force and secret experiments. To them, survivors are not people - they are test subjects. Every raid, every patrol, every "rescue" is a trap.
Ethan and his group must navigate this shattered world, hunted by both monsters and men. Loyalties will be tested, trust will fracture, and each step forward will bring them closer to the truth: QEC's war is not about survival - it's about control.
In the Ashes of Tomorrow, there are no safe havens. Only choices. To fight back. To resist. Or to be consumed by the darkness that now rules the earth.
