It was a normal life for most Europeans in the 14th century up until IT happened. The Black Plague arrived without warning and sweeped most of Europe and Asia. The people who witnessed the plague were convinced that there were two types of people...those who were already dead and those who were going to be soon. And for one man it may just be too much.

The After Effects
After it all happened, the Plague created what feels like a whole new world. Survivors created new lives for themselves and carried on with their lives. Me? I didn't get the chance to create a new life. Thanks to my absolutely wonderful father figure, I was forced to become an entirely different person. Thankfully I was able to escape his peachy influence and take some control of my new life. What I don't know is the Plague brought on after effects. Everything changed eleven years ago and only a few knew what actually happened after billions of people died. That all changes one-day though and I found my life completely flipped upside down.
