Aetherplague

In 1952, humanity unlocked the remnants of a forgotten gene—an ancient spark that rekindled magic within our blood. Children born after the discovery developed strange, powerful abilities, shaped by inheritance, mutation, and chance. For decades, the world adapted, evolved… and then, it began to rot.



It started with a lab accident—silent, unnoticed. A brilliant scientist infected with something he didn't understand. He should have died. Instead, he lived… and changed.



Now, cities burn. The dead walk, driven by insatiable hunger and twisted remnants of their magical pasts—immune to fire, impossible to kill, terrifyingly unpredictable. They are not mindless. They are not powerless. And they are spreading.



Twenty-five-year-old Eli, born with the rare ability to manipulate air pressure, watches the world collapse on Day One. But survival isn't enough. Because Patient Zero is still out there—somewhere—and Eli may be the only one who can finish what humanity started before the world ends for good.



In a place where magic thrives in decay, one breath can mean salvation… or death.
