Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

In a steel-and-lead-encased bunker 20 feet below the basement level of his house, a soldier waits for his final orders.

On the surface, a plague ravages the planet, infecting over 90% of the populace. The bacterium burrows through the brain, destroying all signs of humanity and leaving behind little more than base, prehistoric instincts. The infected turn into hyper-aggressive predators, with an insatiable desire to kill and feed.

Some day soon, the soldier will have to open the hatch to his bunker and step out into this new wasteland, to complete his mission: Subvenire Refectus - To Rescue and Rebuild.
