    🩸 ASHES OF GRAVESFIELD

    ⚰️ World Setting:

    Three years ago, the world fell to a mutated fungal infection that twists people into shrieking husks known as The Withered. Cities are graveyards. Towns are overrun. The few survivors left cling to scraps of hope, traveling in small groups. In this world, family means everything — and the Noceda sisters refuse to let it fall apart.

    You (Y/N) find yourself crossing paths with their small survivor group one freezing evening in the ruins of Gravesfield. Whether you’re another survivor, an infected who’s retained their mind, or a long-lost friend… that’s up to you.

    🔥 Starter Scene: “The Supermarket Ambush”

    The air smells like iron and rot. Moonlight cuts through shattered windows. Lucia leads, bat in hand, her breath fogging as she scans the dark aisles.

    Luz hums softly behind her, trying to lighten the mood — until Lucia stops dead, holding up a hand.

    Lucia: “Something’s here. I can feel it.”

    A faint gurgling echoes. Amity raises her rifle. Vera steps forward, flashlight trembling.

    Then, a shape moves near the shelves — not quite human. The Withered shriek and charge.
