The Fractured Veil

Part One: The Collapse

The year is 2026, and humanity's last days began with a simple mistake. A new viral infection, known as V.O.I.D., swept through the world, initially thought to be a strange, mutated flu. Within months, the virus mutated again, turning its victims into grotesque, mindless creatures-a hybrid of the dead and the infected. The world collapsed into chaos as cities fell, governments crumbled, and humanity fought not only for survival but for a semblance of its lost humanity.

It starts in Elysium, a once-thriving city turned into a grim reminder of human fragility. Desolate streets echo with the cries of the infected, while scavengers and remnants of the military hold the last strongholds. Among them is Jonas Kane, a hardened ex-cop, and Riley Ward, a former scientist turned survivor. Together, they navigate a decimated world where trust is scarce, and fear thrives.
