As the world spirals into turmoil, 18-year-old Irias finds herself facing a nightmare upon returning home from a long day of hunting in the dense, shadowy woods. The familiar sight of her quaint cottage is shattered by an overwhelming sense of dread. She steps inside to discover that her mother and siblings have pashed, leaving behind only chilling bite marks that hint at a monstrous fate.
Her heart races as she turns to find her father-once a loving figure, now transformed into a grotesque, mindless creature driven only by primal rage. The man whom she looked up to has morphed into a terrifying beast, his eyes vacant and wild, embodying the very horrors that have befallen their world.
In that harrowing moment, Irias realizes the full weight of her loss; her family is gone, and she stands alone in the ruins of her childhood home. With no choice but to leave behind the only safety she has ever known, she steels herself for the uncertain journey ahead, determined to survive in a world turned upside down.
