The Beginning: Start of the Tribulation

As the year comes to an end and a new era begins, the world suddenly shifts, changing in ways nobody can ever control, in ways nobody saw nor expected.

A famous scientist, Isadora Eclipse was living her life like any other human being should. Yet she enters the new year cradling her husband's bleeding body in her arms - and with him, the life she once saw brightly began to shatter.

Isadora knew all of this was not sudden.

As the dawn breaks, cities are burning to ashes, governments fall silent, leaving people confused and terrified as humanity unravels under a virus no one understands. Whatever is spreading throughout the world is not natural. From what she witnessed in the apartment, it is connected - though she cannot yet name how.

Amid a collapsing society, crushing grief, and the growing fear of the unknown, Isadora becomes determined to find answers. This outbreak might be tied to a research she unknowingly took part in - one with the consequences far beyond anything she imagined.

Her path crosses with Percival Saunders, a relentless investigative journalist, who has been chasing whispers of illegal experiments long before the world began to fall apart. This outbreak may be his only chance to unmask the hidden truth.

Despite their differences and the tension between them, survival leaves them no choice but to form an alliance. Together, they navigate through the world on the brink of extinction - where survival demands sacrifice, trust is fragile, and love may still dare to bloom.

How much of humanity can endure before it completely disappears?

Who started all this?

And when the truth is finally uncovered... Will it save what remains or end it forever?

Is this the end?
