Parisomium

Bear is living in a dying world, a world with no plants, large factories, and synthetic human slaves. The pollution is managed by sprawling life support factories that filter the air, produce clean food, and purify large quantities of the putrid waters. The age of independent freedoms died along with the natural world, forcing people into large stacked cities, with the wealthy ruling from above the poor down below, with the ground an unlivable wasteland. The world is run by the wealthy, and those who are able to edit DNA are kept as their pocket pets, giving them beauty, strength, and children. Poor families are allowed one child and can only have them with the help of a genetic engineer. But there is one thing that all people are given regardless of status, multi-vac. The Multi-vac is the pinnacle of medical science, able to cure every illness and disease known to man, that is, until the Stain. The Stain is a super-virus that causes the individual cells to decompose at an accelerated rate, leaving black tendrils of dead cells in its wake. Thanks to an unfortunate twist of fate Bear is infected, casting his family into poverty and shame.But things change after a series of events that throw the world on the brink of extinction and total war as Bear is given a chance to be cured. But the last thing Bear remembers is being tricked into a machine and forced to sleep. Bear wakes up in an abandoned and destroyed world with only his Teddy and the voice of a stranger left for him around the crumbling hospital. With nothing else to loose Bear follows the instructions of the Stranger deeper and deeper into the hospital in the hopes of finding a way out, a way home.
