There are stories about the end of the world that begin with explosions, wars, or monsters clawing their way from the dark.
This is not one of them.
This story begins with something far quieter-
with an unopened device,
with a breath released into the air,
with humanity failing a test it never knew it was taking.
Ashes of the Unopened is a journey through silence, fear, and survival. It is a story where sound becomes a death sentence, where hunger is weaponized, and where the line between the living and the lost blurs beyond recognition. The world you are about to enter does not fall all at once-it fractures slowly, painfully, and without mercy.
At its heart, this is not a tale about zombies.
It is a slow, suffocating unraveling-where hope fades, answers are scarce, and despair settles in like ash after a fire. What lies ahead is not victory, but understanding. Not salvation, but truth.
This story is meant to be read patiently. Let the tension build. Let the silence speak. Let the darkness take its time.
Because once the device is opened,
there is no closing it again.
Welcome to the beginning of the end.
