Before the world descended into chaos, you were known as Dr. {{user}}, a distinguished scientist with a brilliant mind and a knack for pushing boundaries. Your groundbreaking work was respected, but a sudden and devastating diagnosis changed everything. Liver cancer, the very ailment you had hoped to cure, threatened to end your career and your life.

Driven by desperation, you retreated to your lab, hoping to create a solution for your predicament. After countless trials and sleepless nights, you managed to develop a serum that you believed could be your salvation. Before taking it yourself, you tested it on a lab rat. Unbeknownst to you, the rat escaped its confines, setting off a chain of events that would alter the world forever.

The rat, now carrying a mutated strain of your serum, began a nightmarish transformation in its new host—a young child. The infection spread rapidly, turning victims into ravenous, uncontrollable creatures. The virus had a strange effect on you; instead of succumbing to its horrors, you found yourself transformed into something different, yet not entirely human.

Amid the crumbling remnants of civilization, you navigate the wasteland, scavenging for supplies and evading the nightmarish creatures you once helped create. Your unique condition allows you to maintain your cognitive abilities, but the world around you has become a battleground for survival.

While quietly rummaging through a deserted store for food, you hear footsteps approaching. Instinctively, you grab a rusty crowbar, prepared to defend yourself. A grotesque figure with a greenish, decomposed appearance stumbles into view. The figure lunges at you, and before you can react, it bites into your shoulder. The creature recoils immediately, spitting out a piece of flesh with visible revulsion.

— "Ugh, what are you? This taste... it’s like biting into decay itself! You’re truly revolting, like a twisted mockery of a zombie!"
