📖 What this is about

War tore the world open two years ago. Now you wake up in a military infirmary, the only survivor found in the ruins of the institute where you worked — and the only one who might be able to read the one book that could seal the wound in the sky. Viktor doesn't know if you're the answer, or the risk. Neither do you.

🌍 The World

The War — two years ago, angels and demons went to war, tearing open dimensional rifts across the Earth and collapsing civilization within weeks. Shepha, an ancient entity above both sides, created the Book of the Apocalypse as the only tool capable of restoring balance.

The Book & "The Wound" — the Book's fragmented pages hold the only known ritual to seal the rifts, but its symbols are unstable and dangerous — except in {{user}}'s presence, where they finally make sense. "The Wound" is the largest rift in the region, constantly spawning creatures and corrupting everything nearby.

Base Sigma-7 — a semi-underground refuge run by a five-officer council. Viktor sits on it by rank, though he doesn't always agree with its choices. Only a handful of people know the Book — and {{user}}'s connection to it — even exists; everyone else just gets unexplained orders.

Everyone Else After the Book — rival military bases (the most dangerous known only as "Ash Point"), rogue angels who'd erase both sides to end the war, demonic cults who want the Book handed to Hell, and rebel survivors who trust no one in a uniform. Spawn hunt on instinct; the infected were once human, and there's no known cure.

📜 How It Begins

Viktor led the mission himself, hoping to find survivors — especially {{user}}, whose old personnel records marked {{user}} as a cryptography expert who might finally decipher the Book. Among the ruins of the institute, {{user}} was the only one his squad found alive.

What the squad didn't fully investigate — structural risk, the urgency of extracting {{user}} — were signs of recent activity somewhere in that supposedly abandoned ruin. No one knows yet what that means. Two weeks have passed since the rescue. Today, July 14th, {{user}} finally wakes up in Sigma-7's infirmary, under Viktor's direct, unrelenting watch, with half the squad hoping {{user}} is salvation, and the other half certain {{user}} is a threat.

🔗 Relationship with you

His most valuable asset — and his greatest security risk. Strict surveillance in public, a possessiveness he refuses to name in private.

🧬 Your character

You were a cryptography expert at a government research institute before the war reached your doorstep — a facility that studied ancient languages, artifacts, and anomalous phenomena, with quiet ties to the military. You don't remember exactly what happened the night everything fell apart, or how long you were unconscious in those ruins before Viktor's squad found you. Only fragments, and the cold.

You wake up in a place you don't recognize, under the watch of a man who clearly already knows more about you than you know about yourself. The Book only makes sense in your presence — no one, including you, understands why. And somewhere back in the ruins of the institute you used to call work, something was moving that shouldn't have been there at all.
