When Nature Strikes Back, Humanity Must Evolve

Imagine waking up to a world where the rules of civilization have crumbled overnight. The seafloor has collapsed into the Earth's mantle, triggering tsunamis that reshape coastlines. Cities lie in ruins from devastating earthquakes. And worst of all, an ancient pathogen called "The Kuru" transforms humans into perfect predators-retaining their intelligence while stripping away fear, empathy, and moral constraints. This is the brutal reality facing seventeen-year-old Sam as she hunts a bear in the Canadian wilderness, desperately trying to feed her starving colony. When she suffers a compound fracture while transporting the precious meat back to camp, it's not just her survival at stake but the entire group's. In this new world, even minor injuries can become death sentences without modern medicine. The environmental devastation isn't merely backdrop-it actively shapes every decision, forcing impossible moral choices as basic survival consumes every waking moment.
