The Birth of a Devil

The black holes didn't just cause destruction when they appeared—they also caused massive damage when they disappeared. As they collapsed on their own, they released huge amounts of gamma rays and other strange types of radiation that the world had never seen before.

Not the kind science had known. No Geiger counter could measure it. No suit could block it. This was something alien… unnatural. Gamma rays powerful enough to melt bone. Pulses of radiation laced with something unexplainable, something that rewrote life itself.

And this… is what changed the world.

Millions died instantly, their bodies burned from the inside out. But the unlucky ones didn't get to die.

Some screamed as their flesh twisted and bubbled, bones snapping and reshaping. Eyes melted. Teeth stretched. Skin peeled back to reveal something no longer human.

They mutated.
