Rift Era: Embers of Annihilation

When a 2123 particle collider experiment rips open reality itself, humanity faces extinction. The parallel Ash Realm bleeds annihilation energy into Earth, transforming humans into ravenous Ash Corpses and mutating all life into energy-hungry Symbiotes. Within 90 days, civilization collapses—80% of humanity dead, continents scarred by radiation zones, and reality torn by Rift Storms. In this genetic apocalypse where science became humanity's doom, survival means evolving or becoming another monster in the wasteland.
