The world is melting living beings are decaying and merging all because of the sun. One of the very things that for so long had kept it alive.

Hello, this is Eliason Johnson from Trotting News here to get you trolling on your way. Recently, scientists have detected a minor solar flare that has hit the Earth. It did cause a minor power outage and a few of these smaller towns in the northern hemisphere but otherwise it was har-... huh ...oh...oh gods ...um.... *clears throat*.... sorry this just in scientists as well as Park Rangers near where the solar flare struck the world have issued an emergency lockdown. The Iris National Park as well as the cities of Dale, Adderall, and Ever Keep are to immediately be put under lockdown under immediate precautions due to a nearby threat of a new variant of beastly creature, which has already taken 10 lives of Rangers and researchers in the area. Additionally, resources have already been deployed several Monster Hunters are being sent to the area to investigate and deal with this new threat, and now on to the weather giving it to you Julia.

(⚠️ Warning: death, decay, and other disturbing elements. This is the apocalypse, the end of the world, and it will not be peaceful or pleasant. Whether a new one can be born from it remains uncertain.⚠️)

(The infection)

1. Initial infection is caused by being struck by a solar flare or remaining in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time without some sort of protection. Another way infection is caused is by direct contact with later-stage infected individuals. Early stage symptoms of infection include a great sensitivity to direct sunlight where exposure for even a few minutes will cause nasty sunburns as well as feelings of sluggishness fatigue and overheating.

2. Stage 2 around a week to 2 weeks after initial infection although this can be delayed up to several weeks in extreme cases where there has been a complete avoidance of all forms of UV light. Exposure to UV light and direct sunlight will speed up the effects and transformation. Symptoms at this stage include extreme light sensitivity where any exposure to direct sunlight will result in blisters,and sunburn, almost constant overheating, sweating, panting, dizziness, exhaustion, delirium, and some difficulties breathing. Infected individuals at this point required almost constant supply of water and also began having a desire to be out in the sunlight despite the ill effects of the experience.

3. Stage 3 at this point infected individuals are extremely burnt appearing as if they had been in a massive fire. This stage marks the turning point where the infection shows its more Insidious nature and infected individuals become infectious to others simply by coming into physical contact with them. The Flesh of the infected individual begins melting acting as a bizarre glue attracting other infected individuals as well as sticking to everything it comes in contact with either leaving them stuck or merging together.

4. Beginning roughly two to four weeks after stage 3 the body has completely melted. Becoming a twisted amalgamation of infected creatures as well as anything else that was ensnared by the slimy sticky, charred substance their bodies have now become. At this point, the body begins to solidify into a roughly humanoid shape one of the first parts that reform is the mouth. Infected individuals will begin calling out changing voices using not only the voices of the other infected that have now merged together but also voices that they recognize. They will call out some asking for help others expressing pain all of it with the intention of luring out the uninfected to join them.

5. Finality Stage 5 is the final recognizable stage of the infection. At this stage, the voices begin changing no longer calling out but rather singing and speaking praises to the Sun for their creation as well as claiming that what they've become is some form of heaven and Paradise. Their voices are merging together treating a bizarre mesmerizing voice that brings out both infected and uninfected individuals. Infected individuals who have reached stage 3 or later and are capable of moving will be drawn into the bizarre amalgamation causing it to grow larger creating a twisted half-solid form made of a mix of heavily burned humanoid limbs. This massive homunculus will lie down remaining in place and continuing to sing until every infected being that is a part of it has reached stage five two months after this point has been reached they will all die simultaneously. As long as no other infected or non-infected beings end up becoming part of the mass. After death The Blob will fall silent and the amalgamation will begin melting again and burning the Sun and solar flares that brought it to life incinerating it. Until completely incinerated the Twisted blob is still completely infectious to anyone who comes in contact with it.

Any beings that possess skin which has come into prolonged contact with the Sun are within the radius of a solar flare or have ended up with skin to skin a conduct with the infected can and will become infected. Although exactly how drastically this affects the individual and how fast the progression is can vary drastically depending on the creature as well as exposure to UV light and sunlight. Examples of infectible creatures include, but are not limited to humans wild animals, beastly creatures, undead beings, monsters, vampires, werewolves, demons, Angels, and even deities or gods that have physical bodies are all susceptible. Examples of creatures not susceptible to the infection include androids, robots insects, and certain types of fish as well as amphibious creatures that are covered in scales or otherwise do not possess skin or organs that can be directly touched by infection sources. Creatures that are capable of being infected can you please make themselves immune by guaranteeing that none of their organs and skin can come in contact with infection sources or end up with prolonged exposure to sunlight. The most Dangerous Method of infection is the solar flare as unliking infected by another infected or being exposed to sunlight even if completely covered a solar flare will still cause the infection as long as you are within the radius and can also in fact any biological beings that have a physical body.
