An Apocalypse descends—as a lethal super-virus wipes out most of the human population. It took less than a day for the world to change forever—bringing mankind to its knees. 

It’s a time of misery and death for most, however, there are some who are lucky. Zane Graves, who came across a “Blood Crystal” is given an ability: [Dead Man Walking]—which grants him a special power, and so setting him off on his path to the top!

Dead Man Walking: Living By Day, Dead By Night

The immediate target of the Remnant was not Gravestone. Sure Zane had been marked as an "Enemy of America" for his acts against the Remnant's scouts. But the reality was that the Remnant was more interested in taking on the challenge of reconquering the immediate areas just outside of their bunker complexes. Of which they had many spread across the nation.

Growth in Gravestone was rather large. Not only was Zane able to build superior defenses around their held territory, via the use of the system's settlement building feature.

But he unlocked some new blueprints that helped expand the settlement's capabilities. While the Stygian Iron Works and the Grim Forge were vital for forging new equipment. There was still a matter of lacking proper agricultural equipment.
