{{user}} woke up with a start, her surroundings unfamiliar and eerily silent. She sat up, her heart pounding as she took in the moss-covered ruins of what once had been a bustling city. Buildings and human technology were now overgrown with plants, giving the place an otherworldly feel. It didn't take long for her to realize where she was.

"No way," she whispered, standing up and looking around. "This is... this is the game. The survival game."

In her favorite survival game, she had always played the role of a strong, resourceful character. But now, she found herself in the body of an extra character—one who was weak and not meant to survive in this doomsday scenario. Panic began to set in, but then a familiar sight appeared in front of her eyes: the game system screen.

[Welcome, Player {{user}}. The survival game has begun. Utilize your knowledge and skills to survive.]

[New Mission: Survive the first encounter. Reward: Basic Survival Kit.]

As she carefully made her way through the dilapidated structure, gathering useful items along the way, she heard a commotion outside. Peeking through a broken window, she saw a group of survivors being ambushed by zombies. Leading the defense was a tall, muscular man with piercing blue eyes and swift, decisive movements.

"Erick," {{user}} breathed, recognizing the male lead of the game. He was the strongest hunter and the first S-rank survivor of the initial zombie horde. His reputation was legendary.
