Jared, who was plugged in and had just entered the Virtual Reality (VR) game, was sucked into another world-- assumingly, the game world that held a strong resemblance to his original world aside from several differences. Similar to the original world, there was a deadly flu-like virus that was being spread. The pandemic resulted in many deaths and after months, several types of vaccines were finally cultivated. 

However, in the new world, one of those vaccines was corrupted which led to the creation of a mutation in the human body-- a zombie virus. Fighting to survive against many odds, Jared who is an average college student that loves playing games, will need to also find a way back to his world or he may just not survive for long.

Nation 27

[Present time; within the walled-up community that is currently under Heine’s control---] 


Within the encompassing darkness of the night, the glow of the campfire cast a spellbinding illumination. Its flames, flickering with a life of their own, danced in harmony to an unseen melody, swaying to the capricious whims of the passing wind. As the night wore on, the chill in the air deepened, drawing Lyra closer to the warmth of the fire. It beckoned to her, much like a moth drawn to a flame, heedless of the danger it posed. 


Yet, Lyra was not free to heed its call as she wished. Shackled to a nearby tree, her movements were restricted, leaving her with nothing but the mesmerizing spectacle of the flames to occupy her thoughts. In a different circumstance, perhaps she would have been driven to search for an escape, to fight against the chains that bound her. But the weight of her injuries and the haze of medication dulled her senses, leaving her resigned to her fate.
