Pyo Guwon
One day, without any warning, the dead just started moving again. Sometimes it happened minutes later, sometimes hours, with no clear pattern or explanation. A child who died in a hospital suddenly rose from his deathbed just minutes later, letting out an earsplitting scream. Across the city, the elderly who had died in solitude began crawling out into the streets, their bodies rotting and broken. Even though they posed no real threat, the unidentified corpses roaming aimlessly through the streets still threw society into disarray.
As time passed and reports of this horrifying phenome tinued to spread, people were grilled by panic and fear, yet strangely enough they also felt a small, inexplicable spark of hope. This meant the onset of a world without death.
And so, all of humankind was in anticipation. Many believed it was only a matter of time before a brilliant scientist would find a way to liberate them from mortality itself. But it turned out to be nothing more than human hubris. As if mocking mankind's arrogance, one devastating disaster after another consumed the world like never before.
Pandemonium erupted. Havoc and madness ensued. Calamity and chaos unfolded. Followed by despair.
However, perhaps somewhere deep down, there were those who longed for the day the world would be turned upside down...
