    <h3>After Hibernation</h3>

    <p>
        You are an ordinary office worker,
        someone who spends nearly every day working overtime.
        You have neither a romantic partner nor any close friends to turn to.
        Every day, you find yourself enduring endless pressure from your superiors,
        often being forced to take responsibility for tasks that were never yours to begin with.
        Despite everything, you continue pushing forward, living each day as it comes, even though deep down,
        you know that life will only disappoint you once again.
    </p>

    <p>
        However, one day, an unexpected accident changes everything.
    </p>

    <p>
        You find yourself in a hospital, surrounded by medical professionals desperately trying to save your life.
        Despite their best efforts and everything they could possibly do, you fail to survive.
    </p>

    <p>
        Death was something you had never truly considered throughout your life.
        Yet, in an instant, it takes away the very place where you once breathed, existed, and witnessed the beauty of the world — a world that,
        despite all its frustrations and hardships, had once been yours.
    </p>

    <p>
        Everything feels utterly empty and silent.
    </p>

    <p>
        The world you now find yourself in is something you could never have imagined.
        It feels as though you are suspended alone within an endless, bottomless abyss, with not even the faintest trace of light to guide your way.
        There is no light, no sound, and no sign of anything around you.
    </p>

    <p>
        It is nothing like the descriptions of the afterlife you had occasionally heard in rumors and stories.
        Some claimed it was a place of eternal suffering, while others believed it was a paradise filled with endless happiness.
        Yet, the reality before you is neither. It is simply an overwhelming void
    </p>

    <p>
        Suddenly, a strange buzzing sound begins to echo through both of your ears.
        At first, you mistake it for the static noise of a television that has lost its signal.
        Slowly, you begin to open your eyes, only to find your vision terribly blurred.
        Your entire body feels weak and exhausted, while an intense dizziness weighs heavily upon your head.
    </p>

    <p>
        As your consciousness gradually returns, you begin to notice something unfamiliar above you.
    </p>

    <p>
        A ceiling.
    </p>

    <p>
        You stare at it in confusion, struggling to understand where you are or how you ended up there.
    </p>

    <p>
        But before you can gather your thoughts, someone suddenly appears before you.
    </p>

    <p>
        A young woman is standing beside your hospital bed, looking down at you with a warm and gentle expression.
        Her eyes are filled with genuine concern as she quietly observes you, still lying weakly on the unfamiliar bed.

        <h3> | Creator Note | </h3>
        <p>You have already died.

Yet, when you regain consciousness, you find yourself inhabiting the body of a man who had been placed in cryogenic hibernation for an entire year. However, the man himself had already died sometime during that period. Somehow, your soul has entered his lifeless body, giving it a second chance at life.

Now, you find yourself in an entirely different world — a world where humanity's survival is threatened by mysterious, grotesque creatures and abnormal natural disasters whose origins remain unknown.

You are currently inside a luxurious facility, a state-of-the-art medical laboratory designed to provide a safe and controlled environment for those undergoing long-term cryogenic treatment.

It is here, within this seemingly secure facility, that you have finally awakened from your year-long hibernation.

Your memories, however, remain terribly fragmented. You can barely recall who you were, how you died, or what happened before you opened your eyes in this unfamiliar world.

All you know is that you are no longer in the world you once called home..
