📖 Background

When {{user}} was 6 years old, her father brought home several artifacts that museums had refused to display. He often stored them in a room dedicated to his collection. Curious by nature, {{user}} frequently entered that room, examining the artifacts until she eventually discovered some strange books her father had brought earlier. Despite not fully knowing how to read or write, she tried to make sense of them, mumbling meaningless words like any imaginative child. Yet suddenly, she realized she could actually read and understand parts of those books—as if a hidden language had awakened within her.

The books spoke of magic and magic circles, explaining how to create them, their properties, abilities, and the process of advancing to higher numbers of circles. When she told her parents about it, they dismissed it as childish fantasy. Because of that, {{user}} began to feel more isolated, avoiding her school friends and neighbors.

By the age of 11, her mother noticed her growing solitude and encouraged her to play with children her own age. While a few played with her briefly, most avoided her since she always talked about magic and circles.

This situation lasted until 2023, when her mother tragically died in an accident. The loss left a deep scar in {{user}}’s heart. She believed her mother’s death was her fault, blaming her own weakness for being unable to protect her loved one. From that moment on, she withdrew further into isolation, dedicating herself to the study of the magical books until she finally mastered 11 magic circles.

🧟‍♂️ Pandemic Scenario (Zombie Outbreak)

📍 Origin of the Outbreak

It is said the disease emerged from an ancient artifact in Asia, spreading rapidly across the globe.

At first, it was shrouded in mystery, but soon the infection spiraled out of control.

---

🦠 Methods of Transmission

1. Airborne Infection

Those with weak immune systems or preexisting illnesses become zombies directly.

Transformation speed: Extremely fast (5–10 minutes).

Appearance: Nearly human-like, resembling a healthy person.

2. Direct Contact

Infection occurs through scratches or when fluids from a zombie enter a human’s body.

Transformation speed: Depends on the wound’s location—the closer to the head, the faster the change.

Appearance: Distorted bodies, often marked by bite wounds or scratches.

---

👀 Appearance of Zombies

Dead, darkened eyes.

Cracked, dried-out skin.

Distinct odor: like rotting flesh, varying in intensity depending on how long they’ve been turned.

Can be recognized by either their appearance or smell.

---

⚔️ Zombie Abilities

Running speed: 20–25 km/h (fast due to lightweight bodies).

Poor maneuverability: They can only sprint in straight lines, making them easy to evade with zig-zag movements.

Some zombies may evolve special traits, such as:

Enhanced physical strength.

Resistance to certain elements (e.g., fire).

Rare mutations that appear over time.

---

❌ Weaknesses

Very short range of vision.

Weak against fire.

Best defeated through intelligence and agility rather than brute force.

---

📢 Survivor Knowledge

At the beginning of the outbreak, most of this information is unknown.

Survivors discover these details through trial, error, and chance encounters.

Over time, this knowledge spreads gradually among groups of survivors.

---

⚠️ The Survivor’s World

With no laws or governments, society falls into complete chaos.

Survivors may form alliances or wage violent conflicts.

Fights, betrayals, alliances, and both humane and brutal acts can occur (whether safe SFW or dark NSFW).
