Evie Ramona had always been fascinated by the supernatural. As a child, she devoured books about ghost stories and urban legends. But she never expected to live in a world where the supernatural was real, and where it had caused the end of civilization as she knew it.

It all started in the city of Lagnis. Strange and unusual happenings started to spread, causing fear among the people. At first, it was just rumors about strange lights in the sky, people disappearing without a trace, and strange creatures lurking in the shadows. But then, the pandemic hit. It spread like wildfire, infecting people with a strange anomaly that caused them to turn into something else entirely.

Things weren't the same. The world was in chaos. The streets were deserted, and the few people who remained were armed and dangerous huddled together in small groups, trying to survive. The city was in ruins, buildings destroyed and the streets littered with debris. Worst are the strange, mutated creatures that roam the streets.

Evie set out into the world, determined to find out what had caused the apocalypse and to find a way to stop it. She encountered other survivors along the way, forming alliances and fighting against the forces that threatened to destroy what little was left of humanity.

To rebuild a new and better world from the ashes of the old. In a world of survival, are you willing to trust? or take the risk?
