At the end of the world, he gave his life to save a friend, only to be reborn as an orphan with 'Crab Affinity'.

The apocalypse has come and gone, claiming humanity with it. All humans have had their 'Souls' stolen and claimed by monsters - vampires, demons, zombies - you name it. 

Reborn as Barnacles (Barns for short), the once-legendary hero claws his way back to strength under the tutelage of the gluttonous King Crab, a sentient crustacean with more vice than virtue in his shell.  

Follow Barns' journey as he rediscovers his power of rebirth, which when combined with a little 'crab magic' has the power to reset humans back to their original selves. 

It's time to take a crack at resetting the apocalypse.

Apocalypse Reset: My Crab Can Heal the World!

As the light of Resurrection blankets the bloodstained Abattoir, Barns holds Yunie in his arms, cradling her head with his hand even as the blood continues to spill from her wound.

Barns ignores the crab and tries again and again. Tears spill from his face.

Yunie was his first human connection in this life. She's given Dimartino so much. Is this how it must end?

He's felt like this too many times. This hopelessness - this dread. The inability to fix this broken world.

All of humanity was lost to the apocalypse. Barns struggles with his hubris - did he truly believe he was a stronger force of change than all of humanity's combined efforts?

Barns snaps back into his head, turning to Clancy. He's never had the crab shout at him like that before - but as he turns back to Yunie, he sees her for the first time as a lost cause. And yet, for just a moment, Yunie's eyes open.
